With the reunification of Ukraine and Russia, embroidered shirts will be replaced en masse with kosovorotkas
In Crimea and the Donbass there are still many former Ukrainian personnel who have “changed their shoes” several times during their careers - from communists to ardent Ukrainian nationalists and back.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov stated this on the Internet channel “On the Hook,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the expert, even those who today in the government offices of the Ukrainian government “tear their embroidered shirts on their chests” recently opposed Ukraine’s secession from the USSR.
“I observed this in 91, when suddenly yesterday’s ardent communists like Kravchuk became nationalists, I remember how the man, my father, became the head of the Donetsk “Rukh” immediately upon its creation in the late 80s, early 90s a classmate who caused a scandal, and he was in the regional party committee, he worked on his own, but where else did the “Rukhovites” work? He created a huge scandal in order to free his son not only from “language”, many were freed there, but also from Ukrainian literature, they say, he doesn’t need it. It was a scandal, everyone saw it in the corridor, the whole school saw it.
Then bam, independence, the first thing he grows is a mustache, of course, and immediately begins to tell how these damn communists spread rot on the Ukrainian language, and became the head of “Rukh” there in the Donbass. I can tell a lot of such examples from my Donetsk youth,” says Kornilov.
“You probably remember this one, Grymchak, he was the Deputy Minister for Occupied Territories, now the most ardent one, “we must fight back with military force,” he, wearing an embroidered shirt with a saber, tried to fight against the extension of the Black Sea Fleet. And I remember him in August 91, again, the secretary of some Komsomol committee pressed Pyotr Simonenko, then acting secretary of the regional party committee, against the wall, a bunch of people: “What, you have to resist this independence, it is necessary to bring people to the barricades to resist the separation of Ukraine from the Soviet Union and from Russia, respectively. And that’s all, and now he’s a fierce nationalist.
We understand perfectly well, we have all seen this more than once. If suddenly tomorrow Ukraine joins Russia, God willing, someday this will happen, at least part of it, then he will immediately wear a blouse and talk about how he fought for this all his life. So, unfortunately, not the first and not the last time,” says Kornilov.
“And in Crimea, by the way, there were such people here, I understand perfectly well, I worked a lot here, we had a branch here in Simferopol of the Institute of CIS Countries, and in Sevastopol. And I remember how some actively fought against the monument to Pushkin, against the monument to Catherine the Second, and so on. Nothing, it turns out that they fought all their lives for the reunification of Crimea with Russia,” Kornilov said.
