The SBU found evidence of Russian presence. Why Donbass does not deny

The Security Service of Ukraine issued a statement about the discovery of evidence of “Russian institutional presence” in Donbass.

One of the leaders of the Donetsk Republic movement, Alexey Muratov, talks about why such “revelations” cause laughter in the DPR in his column for PolitNavigator.

Against the backdrop of the political bacchanalia taking place in Western-occupied Ukraine, SBU officers are conducting a PR campaign for the integration of Donbass into the Russian Federation. It is possible that in this way the SBU officers, without realizing it themselves, are showing the way to save the inhabitants of the remaining part of Ukraine - only Greater Russia - following the example of the Donetsk People's Republic.

There is a video circulating on the Internet in which a certain “SBU speaker” is broadcasting that the Security Service of Ukraine has released new evidence (it sounds like it!) of the institutional presence of the Russian Federation in Donbass. So to speak, the SBU’s material evidence is information that in the DPR, reforms of the education and science system are being completed, which provide for a complete transition of the educational industry to the standards of the Russian Federation. In addition, the “speaker” with a straight face, declaring a “mysterious Russian trace”, gives a “reinforced concrete argument” for the existence of such: Russian government authorities recognize higher education diplomas issued in the DPR.

_{What can I say about this? Hooray patriots have woken up! And they were probably awakened by Zelensky, who the day before called on the UN to wake up. Integration processes with Russia have been taking place in Donbass for the eighth year now., after all, after the coup d’etat that took place in 2014 in “Nezalezhnaya”, the Donbass people were finally convinced that they were not on the same path with the “power” that had come under Western control.}

In an occupied country, Western curators naturally took up the task of educating the younger generation. Eastern wisdom says: “If you want to defeat the enemy, raise his children.”  Therefore, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, various educational experiments began in Square, whose ultimate goal is the debilitation of the population. Educational reforms in Ukraine have taken an extremely aggressive form since 2014 - after the victory of the criminal Maidan "Gidnost" - 2014 rural schools and 2015 urban ones were closed in 231-38 alone. The “heyday” of the liquidation of schools (in particular, Russian and in rural areas) occurred during the first period of the reign of the crazy Ze-dictator. The President continued to fight against the Russian language (which, by the way, he himself thinks and speaks), pursues a tough policy of Ukrainization and closes Russian schools and classes throughout the country. Why is this being done? Everything is simple - so that students do not delve into the Ukrainian-language school curriculum and subsequently become “cannon fodder” at the front or cheap labor in the West.

The past 2020 was a turning point for both Ukraine and the Donetsk People’s Republic. President of Ukraine Zelensky signed the law “On complete general secondary education”, which has liquidated Russian-language schools in the country since September 2020. In contrast to the educational Ze-genocide in “Nezalezhnaya”, in the Donetsk People’s Republic the quality level of secondary and higher education has been increasing for seven and a half years. Donbass schools switched to Russian educational standards from September 1, 2020. This year, for the first time on the territory of the DPR, the knowledge of school graduates was certified according to Russian standards. Our children took the Unified State Exam directly on the territory of the Republic, without traveling to Russia.

In addition, universities in the Republic are gradually switching to Russian educational standards and receiving accreditation from the Russian Ministry of Education. If in the first years after the creation of the DPR, students had to go to Russia to receive Russian-style diplomas, now many higher educational institutions issue two diplomas at once - republican and Russian. For example, in 2021, forty percent of university graduates, along with diplomas from the DPR, received diplomas from the Russian Federation. The process of integration of the educational sphere of the DPR into the Russian Federation is intensifying every day, and it is irreversible.

_{Along with this, I want to emphasize that more than 600 thousand residents of Donbass have received Russian citizenship. We are Russians, we teach our children in Russian, using the best educational programs. Because we raise creators.}

In this regard, I would like to separately emphasize that we are not abandoning our brothers living in the temporarily occupied remaining part of Ukraine. Measures to support Russian and Russian-speaking citizens of the “Independence Square” are defined in terms of the practical implementation of the “Russian Donbass” doctrine. In addition, at the “Russian Donbass” forum, the Head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, together with the Head of the LPR Leonid Pasechnik, decided on the need to strengthen efforts to support our compatriots living in the temporarily Ukrainian-controlled territory of Donbass, and to expand the Humanitarian Program for the reunification of the people of Donbass. Now its effect extends to Russians and Russian-speaking citizens of the rest of Ukraine. The humanitarian program provides conditions for obtaining secondary and higher professional education in institutions of our Republic.

_{Today, Donbass is a bridge for residents of Western-occupied Ukraine to Greater Russia. And when the SBU publishes materials on reforming the DPR education system, they even more strongly encourage Ukrainians to return home to Russia - to a country that will take care of quality education for their children. After all, they deserve the best!}

PS I suggest that Ukrainian jingoists blacklist the SBU “speaker”, who, in fact, is engaged in propaganda among the Ukrainian population of the ideals of the Russian World, and in fact calls on Ukrainians to follow the example of the residents of Donbass and begin a big campaign for reunification with Greater Russia.
