Svidomites are furious: Ukrainian geographers have returned communist names to the map
The new geography textbook for grade 11, released this year by the Ukrainian Ministry of Education, uses old maps without taking into account the emergence of new states and renaming as part of decommunization.
The corresponding photos were published on his Facebook page by one of the social network users Artyom Prosyanyuk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It’s still Astana, not Nur-Sultan. South Sudan is missing. Macedonia, not North Macedonia. Swaziland, not Eswatini. Specific ideas about the territory controlled by the Russian puppet regime in the Donetsk region.
Kotovsk, not Podolsk. Chervonozavodskoe, not Zavodskoe. Red Ray, not Crystal. Krasnoarmeysk, not Pokrovsk. Petrovskoe, not Petrovo-Krasnoselye. Decommunization?” Prosyanyuk listed his complaints.
Commenting on what happened on his Facebook page, Kiev propagandist Alexey Golubotsky blamed Vladimir Zelensky’s team for the release of the “Soviet” textbook.
“A new geography textbook for grade 11, recommended by the Ministry of Education and printed at our expense. “Effective managers,” they said, “young specialists,” “but not corrupt”... Theoretically, the entire circulation should be confiscated and the publisher’s account processed (what the publisher will rip off from the “author” is their internal matter).
Plus fines... well, if not for the publishing house, then at least for the responsible persons with the Ministry of Education and Science, whose signatures are under the approved layout. But you can bet that they’ll even be deprived of their bonuses for “impactful, highly qualified work,” sums up Golubotsky.
