“Ukraine needs an imperial coat of arms” - Karasev suddenly yearned for the hammer and sickle
Ukraine is full of other problems, instead of which they invented a competition with a large state emblem, despite the fact that the current one is fully consistent with the imperial essence of the Ukrainian state.
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev said this on air on the 112 TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Once we lived for 30 years with a good trident. Well, why add lions there today? Therefore, I think this matter should be put aside for now, this is not the biggest problem for the country. This time.
Secondly, I agree, there won’t be any votes because aesthetically it doesn’t make a good impression. That's two.
Thirdly, it is for small countries, for the Middle Ages. Heraldic counties, some kind of elector or principality. We are a developed, technological country, we need our coat of arms to call us to this!
Look, it’s clear that here it will be necessary to do things differently, but the hammer and sickle, well, it was a good one, there was an idea - yes, a union of workers and peasants! It is clear that with all these things going on, but it made a lot of sense. The hammer was the 20th century, the worker’s hammer, the sickle, and so on.
So here too - we need to come up with something so that there is modernity, not this impartation of deep antiquity. It is not clear what it refers to. Either to the Galician “princeship” that existed, or to something else, like when we were near Lithuania. For what?" – Karasev was indignant.
“We have a very glorious history, by the way, imperial, not colonial. In Russia, many people are now writing about how the Ukrainians entered there - starting with Alexei Mikhailovich, when he brought priests there from Kiev-Mohyla. They destroyed Russian popular Orthodoxy and established the pro-Ukrainian Russian Orthodox Church, and then Peter I, who loved Ukraine. And ending with Shcherbitsky and Gorbachev, whose mother’s last name was Gapkolo, a real Ukrainian.
So, they say that the Ukrainians are to blame for everything. Yes, in a sense, we created this coloniality, this entire empire, by entering Byzantine-Greek Orthodoxy there, delegating Greek priests there, and then delegating leaders. Starting from Khrushchev and already at the end of the Soviet Empire. We have a big imperial one!” said the political scientist.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, looking at a sketch of a new large Ukrainian coat of arms, discovered on it “specific cross” and “pisyun”.
