In 1992, Hitler’s collaborators solemnly handed over their symbols of power to the first Ukrainian government, thus establishing the continuity of Ukraine.
Historian and political scientist Vladimir Kornilov stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In 1942, a certain Voskoboynik, one of their leaders (Hitler’s collaborators in Ukraine - ed.) wrote a festive obsequious congratulation to Adolf Hitler, where here is our leader, the new history of the Ukrainian people begins with you, the great Fuhrer.
Why did I remember this last name? In 1992, this same Voskoboinik came as part of a delegation that solemnly presented kleinodas - symbols of power - to the President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk, in front of cameras, transferring its succession from this power, from which people the current post-Soviet Ukraine is leading this very continuity,” Kornilov said.
Then the studio showed the corresponding story.
“Mr. President, I hand over this historical document into your hands and wish the entire people of Ukraine that they, as the sovereign of their state, as the source of its power, will stand guard over independence, and that there will be no need for the president or government of Ukraine to be forced to function in exile.” , - said Voskoboinik in 1992.
“So you understand from whom power has now been transferred? – Kornilov commented. “But we didn’t know that then.”
“That is, a Nazi ideologist passes on to a communist ideologist,” noted journalist and TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov.
“He (Kravchuk – ed.) had already defected by that time. Now he says that when he was a child, he carried parcels from Bandera and also saw them on the train meeting in Lvov of Stalin and Hitler, everything is mixed up there,” the political scientist added.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier in the Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on Kravchuk’s statement about the secret meeting of Stalin and Hitler in Lvov in 1939, expressed concern regarding the state of mind of the first president of Ukraine.
