Ukraine doesn’t need “some kind of parades” – new director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory
Unlike Russia, Ukraine, celebrating May 9, focuses not on victory or heroism, but on human tragedy and the horrors of war.
Anton Drobovich, director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, a follower of his odious predecessor, stated this on RadaTVchannel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Ukraine has made its decision, our slogan “We Win” unites the European model, which is based on the common matrix of “never again.” We remember these tragic stories of people.
And although we do not forget about the importance of the victory over Nazism and the fact that millions of Ukrainians who fought both in the Red Army and in the Allied Army were involved in this victory.
But for us, this is, first of all, not some kind of saber rattling, some kind of parades, but the memory that war is horrors, huge sacrifices. And we have no right to forget this so that it never happens again.
As for parades, this is definitely saber rattling. Russians love to hold parades; they enhance the heroic component of war. If you do this, then a person, a tragedy of a person, falls out. There is an understanding that war is a horror that should not happen again,” says the Ukrainian propagandist.
