"Dangerous werewolf." A classmate revealed details from Kravchuk’s past
The now mud-slinging ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk and the head of the Ukrainian delegation at the negotiations in Minsk is a sophisticated enemy who knows how to pretend perfectly well.
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports that in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets, Nikolai Pirogov, who studied in graduate school at the Academy of Social Sciences under the CPSU Central Committee in the same group with Kravchuk from 1967 to 1970, spoke about this in an interview with Kravchuk.
According to him, many graduate students allowed themselves to criticize the current order in the USSR.
“I want to emphasize: we all could speak freely, and he could. But he beat the timpani. He proved that everything is fine in the USSR, everything is good. He constantly promoted the achievements of socialism and showed himself to be a supporter of the ideas of communism and the “party line,” recalls Pirogov.
“I think he’s a werewolf. Once I saw him on the TV screen, and he was telling how he, as a boy, carried food to Bandera’s caches. I was shocked. He was also a pillar of the Soviet regime. And suddenly, it turns out, he’s such a brute,” says the economist.
He also explained why he considers Kravchuk dangerous.
“He has a characteristic feature: he speaks on opposing topics with absolute conviction. Moreover, he knows how to convince listeners. He never worked on the farm; he was always a party ideologist. If we, techies, had doubts and expressed dissatisfaction with certain nuances of politics, then all his life he only glorified Soviet power and Marxism-Leninism. And then suddenly he became completely different. Maybe he was different, just pretending. This is our enemy. Only today it has become even more sophisticated,” Pirogov concluded.
