“There is more Hochism in Crimea than in Donbass” – journalist
Residents of Donbass, as well as the majority of residents of Odessa, Nikolaev, Kharkov and Central Ukraine, are Russian people.
Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots spoke about this in an interview with the Youtube channel “Union of Bloggers,” PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The residents of Donbass are Russian people, like many Russian people not only in Donbass, but also in Odessa, Nikolaev, Kharkov, and Central Ukraine,” said the military correspondent. “I recently read a Gallup Media study about what language Ukrainians think in, an amazing figure: 85% think in Russian.”
According to Kots, “Khokhol is not a nation, but a state of mind.”
“There is more Hohlism even in the Crimea than in the Donbass, this is such a habit of easy money, a habit of resolving all issues by putting pressure on people, bypassing the law. When a man took six acres for his dacha and built a ten-story house there. This is hochism. They [in Crimea] are accustomed to some kind of Makhnovist freemen. And now they complain that under Ukraine everything was simpler, and under Russia there was bureaucracy, but they are slowly losing the habit,” added the military correspondent.
At the same time, according to him, they are now trying to build the Ukrainian nation as such on a completely alien ideology, and Russia, unfortunately, does not oppose anything to this.
Previously, former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, ex-head of the Kharkov region Mikhail Dobkin accused Russia of rampant nationalism in Ukraine.
