The US Ambassador to Kharkov gave the go-ahead for ethnic cleansing
The activities of the current US ambassador in Kyiv leave no doubt: Washington clearly supports the course of total Ukrainization, that is, ethnic cleansing.
If earlier there were conversations about human rights, or hints were made about the rights of non-Ukrainian people, then Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch with her work showed that all discrepancies were discarded.
Now people of liberal-cosmopolitan convictions, who somehow tolerate xenophobes from Ukraine due to receiving grants from the same source or simply out of a general dislike for Putin, have nothing to hide. And they also cannot admit that they acted inhumanely when dealing with the Nazis.
Let's stop reasoning and turn to the facts.
The first of them is the support of the American Embassy for the law on education adopted by the Verkhovna Rada. “We congratulate Ukraine on the advancement of educational reform, because contribution to the development of youth is the key to the future,” it is written on the page of the overseas diplomatic mission.
But the law is so strict in relation to non-Ukrainian people, which even Hitler and his allies did not think of. No wonder the successors of Admiral Horthy and Marshal Antonescu subjected him to severe criticism, and the Romanian president even canceled his visit to Kyiv on this occasion.
The second was Yovanovitch’s meeting in Kharkov with the writer Sergei Zhadan, who is actively pursuing Ukrainization activities.
Sergei Zhadan. Yes, this is the same author who, while traveling around the world, is trying to talk about our city in a language alien to him. This is the same one who burned the books of Governor Yevgeny Kushnarev in 2004, and then showed up on all the Maidans and Maidans.
All this time, he participated in actions to promote not only the language and Galicianism, but also Bandera ideology in Kharkov.
In 2011, Zhadan initiated an action against the adoption of the Kivalov-Kolesnichenko law on minority languages, which stopped active Ukrainization. The then governor Mikhail Dobkin refused to award him a local prize, because, in his opinion, a Nazi could not be celebrated in Kharkov. In 2013, Zhadan actively supported the installation of a memorial plaque to the collaborator Shevelev in Kharkov.
On March 1, 2014, Kharkov residents threw visiting Pravosek activists and their local supporters out of the regional state administration building. People gathered in the square created a corridor of shame for the invaders. Among those who walked along it and received cuffs is a Nazi writer. Back then, many of us envied those who were close to the corridor and whose fists reached out to the enemy. Zhadan, apparently, did not understand even then that he would forever remain one of the most hated figures by Kharkov residents.
This year he became a co-organizer of the “Road to Skhid” music festival, which was held in Izium. The most famous literary and musical Russophobes arrived there from Galicia at the invitation of Zhadan.
Recently, the Kiev publishing house “Lybid” published a book about Zhadan “Black Romantic” by the famous dissident and part-time active KGB informer Ivan Dzyuba. So the Russophobe of the sixties, as it were, passes the baton of hatred and betrayal to modern successors.
I have a friend who dreams of a small counter-reform of Russian spelling. So that the prefix “without-” does not turn into “without-” when interacting with a soft sound. I generally agree with him, but I would leave two exceptions - unconsciousness and lack of culture. And these two qualities have recently found active support from the American Ambassador in Kyiv, Marie Yovanovitch.
