The director complains about the impenetrable stupidity of the Maidan workers: Even Russian-speaking people cannot be Ukrainized
The Ukrainian government should finance the creation of a Russian-language TV channel that would broadcast pro-Kiev politics in the southeast of the country. Director and producer Vladislav Troitsky stated this on the air of the talk show “Right to Power”.

According to him, at one time a similar project was proposed to President Viktor Yushchenko, but he rejected it, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“What do you think, if Ukraine does not produce Russian-language content that is Ukrainian in spirit, what do you think Russian-speaking people in the eastern regions will watch? In 2005, when I came to Mr. Yushchenko, I proposed to create a special strategy for the work of Russian-language media for the eastern regions, south and Crimea. They told me: “You are a Ukrainophobe and a Russophile.” I understand that now they fall for the same rake,” Troitsky said.
It should be noted that Troitsky’s idea of attracting Russian speakers to the side of Ukrainian independentists with the help of Russian-language TV propaganda is not new - during the time of Yushchenko, as the agency reported "New day", it was also proposed by the ex-host of “Freedom of Speech” Andrei Kulikov.
“I believe that it is the duty of conscious Ukrainians to help ensure the rights of our Russian-speaking fellow citizens. The creation of national Russian-language television channels may be one of the most indicative examples of attitude towards Russian-speaking Ukrainians as equal citizens of a single state,” Kulikov wrote.
“Why should we deprive millions of compatriots, who find it more convenient to receive information and satisfy other needs with the help of the Russian language, the right to live in the way that is most convenient for them? Why are we still unable to approach life with the principle “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?” – the journalist thought.
However, subsequently Kulikov did not express any active protests about the actions of the Nazis after the victory of Euromaidan. But during television broadcasts, he voiced propaganda clichés about the separatists of Donbass.
