Ex-Azov militant, Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Mosiychuk, told how he re-educated his wife Vlada from a “Soviet person” into a “Svidomo” Ukrainian patriot.
Mosiychuk shared his experience on the air of the “Political Kitchen” program, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When I brought her, a native of Odessa with such contraversive views, to Munich to the grave of Stepan Bandera, it was something. Then my mother-in-law and my friend came together. This was a kind of breaking of consciousness, because Vlada, for example, did not know that Bandera spent the entire Second World War in a concentration camp, and many other things. This is all because she was raised on the remnants of that Soviet era, and in communicating with me she discovered a lot of new things.
At the same time, I also understood a lot of things for myself then, for example, that it is impossible to change Ukrainians with different views by force. You need the power of words, the power of persuasion, the power of truth, and this is the only way to achieve something,” said the politician.
