Ukrainian artist: Loved Nazi uniforms since childhood
Ukrainian Russophobe TV presenter Anton Mukharsky, better known by his pseudonym “Orest the Fierce,” said that from an early age he did not like the Soviet Union and admired the Nazi uniform. He spoke about this on Channel 4, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I was born 50 years ago in Podol, Kiev, in an absolutely Russified family. All my parents, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, they were residents of Kiev. I heard the Ukrainian language only at the economic market in the form of surzhik or at school.
Since childhood, I had a subconscious not only hatred, but suspicion of the Soviet Union. My parents at one time worked in Germany, in a group of Soviet troops in Germany, and I, as a Soviet child, was the idol of the court, because they never sent Indian cowboys, so fat, handsome, and painted.
I took a German Indian cowboy in one hand, and our flat soldier, some kind of Budenovite or a knight from the Battle of the Ice, in the other hand. And with eyes full of childish naivety, he asked: “Dad, tell me, if the Soviet Union is the best country in the world, then why does it produce such shitty soldiers for children.” That is, even then, at a childhood level, I understood that there was some kind of untruth in my childhood life.
I can also say that between the uniform of Stirlitz and the Russian riding breeches of a soldier of the Soviet army, for some reason I always chose the aesthetics of Stirlitz,” said Mukharsky.
He boasted that for the sake of the Russophobic project “Orest the Fierce,” which is based on inciting hatred, he sacrificed not only the audience in the south-eastern regions of Ukraine, but also his own family.
“We started having conflicts in the family... I had a large agency that organized corporate events, holidays, festivals, and concerts. Immediately, of course, Donetsk, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, the entire southeastern region disappeared... Only Lviv remained, a little more Ternopil and a little Ivano-Frankivsk. Kyiv, yes, remains. We had full houses for these concerts, although the halls were small, but our high-quality audience came, who at that time only secretly shouted “Glory to Ukraine,” Mukharsky shared his memories of the beginning of Svidomo’s career.
