Ukrainians have been brainwashed since the 90s
Even during the time of President Leonid Kuchma, nationalist policies began to be pursued in Ukraine.
Political expert Sergei Belashko spoke about this on the InterVizor channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Kuchma entered the comprador bourgeoisie, which ensured its ruling status through the synergy of power and property. That is, if the nomenclature is old, it did not have property. She had a monopoly on political, state power, ideology, which she was able to change in time, to the point that at one time they argued in all seriousness that courses of scientific communism should be replaced by courses of scientific nationalism. At the same time, with the same teachers,” the political scientist said.
He added that in the 90s the practice of twisting historical facts was much more unscrupulous than in modern times.
“I remember how in the books that were written in the early 90s it was about how the Ukrainian Cossacks conquered Persia and Media in the 6-7 centuries BC and so on. And stories about digging up the sea and inventing a wheel for the Sumerians - their author was Sergei Plachinda, who actively popularized all this nonsense. It was worse than that of Valery Bebik and Petr Yushchenko combined, because they were trying to put some facts on them, like an owl on a globe, but then they just made it up, they pulled it out of thin air. They took, for example, Herodotus’ story about the Scythians, and argued that the Scythians were Zaporozhye Cossacks,” Belashko said.
