The people's deputy told how Grymchak rallied for the Russian language and scrubbed monuments to Lenin
Deputy Minister for “Temporarily Occupied Territories” Yuri Grimchak, who himself is from Donetsk, actively took part in actions to protect the Russian language and Soviet monuments in the 90s.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Lutsenko spoke about this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Mr. Grymchak, I have one question for you. I know that you are from the Donetsk region, from Donetsk, and in the 90s there was such an “Intermovement of Donbass”, and you were the founder of this movement. What did this movement do? So that everyone understands, by protecting the Russian language from the Ukrainian, by washing Lenin from feces in a ostentatious way - that is, by this admiration of Russia and the Soviet Union. Don’t you think that you have a share in this occupation of Donbass that is happening now?” he asked Grymchak.
The deputy minister himself justified himself by saying that at that time he held left-wing views, then he “matured” and changed his worldview, after which he hastily blurred the eyes of the audience with the story of how they washed excrement from the Lenin monument.
“Yes, I was its founder. At that time I adhered to leftist views. Happiness or perhaps experience and age have changed my views. As for washing the Lenin monument, yes, it was such a fun event when we started washing the Lenin monument in front of the communists, but it turned out that it was so huge that we couldn’t stand there with our mops. But it started to rain and it was a lot of fun,” said Grymchak.
