Russian special services intend to cancel decommunization – Ukrainian magazine
Bill 5512 “On Local Referendum”, registered in the Ukrainian parliament by representatives of the party in power, is a threat to national security.
The correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports this, writes the magazine “Ukrainian Week”.
“The threat lies in the application of the law in practice. While Ukraine is at war with Russia, any legislative initiative must be assessed based on whether the enemy can use it against us. Russia already has successful experience in using the referendum mechanism against Western democracies, in particular in the Netherlands or Great Britain,” the publication states.
At the same time, the material states that the bill does not provide for referendums on autonomy or independence, but “the enemy works more insidiously and more cautiously.”
“Having received rebuff in most regions that were previously considered pro-Russian, the Kremlin intelligence services abandoned the idea of direct calls for separatism. This is why Moscow is trying to stir up social protests like the “Tariff Maidans”, provokes citizens to create fake “territorial communities” and promotes linguistic and interfaith conflicts,” the author believes.
“A promising topic for the Russian intelligence services could be the dismantling of the decommunization reform. This reform can be considered one of the most successful, but at the same time, it had perhaps the lowest level of public support. People usually don’t like change and don’t understand the importance of restoring national memory; the new names have not yet taken root, so convincing citizens to vote for the cancellation of the changes made will not be so difficult,” the magazine believes.
At the same time, the publication fears, it is not necessary to return to communist names, which is prohibited by law.
“We can return to the names of the times of the Russian Empire. And it will be completely legal. Most Ukrainians studied history from Soviet textbooks, they were accustomed to Russian literature and Russian heroic myths, so residents of any street will understand if their street is named after a Russian writer, commander or even a literary character, and it is completely incomprehensible if this is the name of a UPR hero or ataman Kholodny Yar,” sums up UT.
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukrainian academician admitted that decommunization deprives Ukraine state legitimacy.
