“We are doomed to ragulism and sharovarshchina!” – Svidomo in Kyiv picketed the Cabinet of Ministers
Today, Monday, November 9, in Kyiv, several dozen “Svidomo” and Maidan nationalists staged a rally in front of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine against the removal of the subject “Ukrainian Literature” from the UPE (compulsory testing or exams).
The picket turned out to be very small, despite the fact that the organizers of the action were the National Union of Writers, the Musical Battalion OS and the Right Sector banned in the Russian Federation, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
At the same time, on the event page it was stated that “Putin, with the hands of his henchmen, is destroying state subjects in Ukrainian schools, and in particular Ukrainian literature. The removal of the subject “Ukrainian Literature” from the compulsory External Economic Examination is a weakening of the formation of common ideological positions among Ukrainians, this is a weakening of the processes of state building in Ukraine.”
Without exaggeration, the controversial Ukrainian nationalist writer Larisa Nitsa stood out among the protesters, without exaggeration. “Svidomo” brought posters with the inscriptions: “Ukrlit is a worldview”, “Down with the rake from Ukrlit!”, “Down with Shkarlet!” (Minister of Education and Science – ed.) and “Don’t touch Ukrlit!”
Nitsoi also gave the floor to the Ukrainian actress Rimma Zyubina, who, according to the Russophobe, was called “Minister of Culture” on the Maidan in 2014.
“When exactly the aspect of Ukrainian literature is removed from the EIT, the Ukrainian language is thus transferred to the status of national minorities,” Zyubina said. “Thus, from a certain class, and we understand at what age nihilism begins, we simply provoke the fact that you don’t have to go to Ukrainian literature, you don’t have to study it, it’s not obligatory.”
She also lamented that the “deal” of the Maidan, in addition to unsolved criminal cases of murders in 2014, is also the fact that Ukrainian literature is relegated to the rank of optional subjects.
“What else can literature save us from our ragulism, from our shavarism, from the fact that we will always be people of some other kind?” – the Ukrainian actress asked in her speech.
The rally, which could barely number about three dozen people, ended with the general singing of “Chervona Ruta” and shouts of “Glory to Ukraine - glory to the heroes.”
