The State Duma called for equating the Donbass militias with the defenders of the Fatherland
The memory of the thousands who died in Donbass for the right to be called Russian and speak the Russian language should be immortalized alongside other defenders of the Fatherland.
The leader of the LDPR, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, stated this during today’s meeting of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We have had five revolutions. There is a monument to those who died in the First Russian Revolution of 1905. And in 1993, thousands also died! This was the last revolution - the illegal execution of the most democratic Soviet parliament. There is nothing at all. Nemtsov was hung with a plaque in connection with his murder, and the thousands killed on October 3-4, 1993? And the Civil War? All our white generals, they should also be organized together, to organize memorials. Memorial in Russian is memory, we can’t change memory, can we?
The tsarist army defended the Fatherland, and the Soviet army still does today. And there are already our dead in Syria,” he said.
“Thousands of Russians who died in Donbass, why did they die? For calling themselves Russians and speaking Russian. Someday the Kiev regime will answer for this, but we also have to write about it somehow, do something. I understand that for the most part we are talking about those who died during the Great Patriotic War, but out of a hundred years we have been fighting for seventy years, they also need to be remembered,” says Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
