Ukrainian official propaganda creates an idol out of Taras Shevchenko, censoring facts that are inconvenient for independentists. Russian historian Oleg Airapetov spoke about this on the YouTube channel “One Motherland,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “It is enough to read the works of Taras Shevchenko to be convinced that in his poetry he primarily used the term “Ukraine.” And in his diary, prose and drama, he predominantly used the term “Little Russia”....
