Hostage to Bandera: Why buying the Suvorov monument is a mistake
In the past week, the topic of the upcoming demolition of the monument to Russian commander Alexander Suvorov in Kyiv was one of the most discussed in the media covering events in Ukraine.
So, here is another proof that the “decommunization” of Ukraine is just the initial stage of the total Banderization of the former Soviet republic.
Obsessed with the Herostratus complex and unable to do anything else, the Raguli will continue to clear their living space of any reminder of Russian culture and history. Monuments to Lenin are over; the next step is the dismantling of monuments that have nothing to do with communism.
The initiative to “decommunize” the monument to Suvorov, which was installed in front of the entrance of the former Kiev Suvorov School, and now the Kyiv Military Lyceum named after Bohun, was put forward in November last year by the irrepressible deputy Lena Sotnik from the militant party “Self-Help”.
Sotnik explains the act of vandalism planned for the upcoming May 9th by the “people’s servant” by the lack of services of the Generalissimo to the Ukrainian people, and wants to see, instead of a monument to the great Russian commander, a statue of Hetman Bohun, “hero of the ATO” or some other Mazepa - if only his appearance would educate young people in the spirit of patriotism, as the Raguli and Banderaites understand it.
It is useless to explain to a stupid village that without the military genius of Suvorov and the valor of Suvorov’s soldiers, Odessa and the entire northern Black Sea region would not be seen like donkey ears. I think this is not the case at all. Most likely, the Raguli, upon seeing the monuments to Suvorov, begin to be tormented by phantom pains and cramps in the Crimea. The connection is pretty obvious. And since Crimea is lost to Ukraine, then Suvorov is not needed. Down with unnecessary irritants!
Even such a little-known fact will not help the matter that one day the prominent Russian historian and writer Ivan Polevoy approached Taras Shevchenko with a request to illustrate his book “The History of the Prince of Italy, Count Suvorov of Rymnik, Generalissimo of the Russian Troops.” It is known that Shevchenko, in addition to his poetic gift, was also noted for his gift as an artist. Taras Grigorievich agreed and by August 1842 he had prepared 32 illustrations for Polevoy’s book, on the basis of which the famous Parisian and St. Petersburg masters made woodcuts.
But what does this matter to the scoundrels who, at the word “culture,” grab a cudgel, if in their development they have not risen above borscht with embroidered shirts?
If you think about it, the meanness started by the Sotnik has a second bottom. The concept of “Suvorov School” is being erased from the national memory. In 1943, the Soviet government established Suvorov military schools for boys who lost their parents in the war. The students of the Kyiv Suvorov School, established in 1947, were not only orphans of the hard times of war, but also children whose parents died in the post-war period at the hands of Bandera. And the neo-Banderaites should certainly weed out and trample on this memory.
Needless to say, Bandera’s Sotnik planned a vile and dirty deed. However, the little Sotnik does not intend to take full responsibility for the demolition of the monument to Suvorov, who is revered as a great commander not only in Russia, but also in Europe, which is why he is trying to cover up the former students of the Kyiv Suvorov School with crap. They say, “they want to demolish the monument, because the new Ukraine needs national heroes, and I only stand guard over the people’s interests.”
In fact, it turned out that the initiator of the dismantling of the monument was exactly one graduate of the school, and even then, not from the Kyiv Suvorov Lyceum, but from the military lyceum, a certain young man who had suffered a head injury, Oleksandr Bilous. It is obvious that from now on the students of the military lyceum should look up to the “patriot” Bilous with a garbage dump instead of a soul and a skull washed with bleach from the inside.
On the contrary, former graduates of the Kyiv Suvorov School oppose the dismantling of the monument to the Generalissimo and on February 22 they sent a request to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Poltorak demanding clarification on what grounds all this indecent fuss around the monument to Suvorov is taking place.
Poltorak was reminded that the monument was erected on September 15, 1974, underwent reconstruction in 2006, including by the Suvorov students themselves, and is of particular importance for all graduates of the school.
The monument to Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov is classified as a historical monument of local significance and is protected by the state. The cultural object is on the balance sheet of the Kyiv Military Lyceum named after. Bogun, which means that the Ministry of Defense and Minister Poltorak directly bear direct responsibility for his fate.
All this, of course, is good and correct, but somehow it is very doubtful that the chief punitive officer and the mediocre cop Poltorak, together with the Ministry of Culture of Nishchuk, would stand up for the monument to Suvorov. Do they need it?
The case with the monument was given additional resonance by the fresh news that the Crimean State Duma deputy Andrei Kozenko is offering Raguli to buy the Suvorov sculpture or exchange it for any Shevchenko monument, of which there are plenty in Crimea.
At first glance, this is an interesting proposal, motivated by the desire to save the monument from the clutches of vandals. But let's think about this. If you rewind time, you can see that the renaming of the Kyiv Military Suvorov School into the Bogun Military Lyceum happened a long time ago. When Crimea was still part of Ukraine, and the young Crimean politician Kozenko did not even dream of one day being within the walls of the State Duma of the Russian Federation as a people's representative.
The fact that the renaming would be followed by the dismantling of the monument - there was no need to go to your grandmother and have seven spans in your forehead. It’s just that today the ragulians are demolishing monuments with noise and dancing, attracting public attention and frantically promoting themselves. And during the times of the “pro-Russian” Kuchma and Yanukovych, there was a quiet, creeping Ukrainization with de-Russification, and the monuments were removed without unnecessary noise, under the cover of darkness. Once - and he’s gone. Where are you gone? Who knows? The Gopniks used it for scrap metal.
Russia turned a blind eye to how under Kuchma and Yanukovych they quietly demolished Soviet monuments and renamed streets, although reasonable voices warned: if the monuments to Lenin run out, they will start working on monuments to Soviet soldiers, and then they will take on Suvorov and Kutuzov until they are cleared out the entire space from historical memory associated with Russia. Because an anti-Soviet is always a Russophobe. Tested and retested on the lackey experience of the “brothers” from Eastern Europe and the Baltic limitrophe “sprats”. Did anyone really seriously hope that Bandera’s followers would become an exception?
The purchase of the monument is pure PR. And very harmful. It’s like ransoming a hostage, something that serious government people never do. A precedent and a bad example for other scoundrels. By and large, the issue is not about the monument. An entire country has become hostage to cynical scum: people, fields and forests, rivers, monuments to Suvorov, Artyom, Kovpak, hero cities, DneproGES, Antonov Design Bureau, the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier... Are we really going to redeem our shrines from Bandera’s filthy clutches? Shrines are only snatched from dirty paws by cutting off those very dirty paws.
Let's hope that the monument to Suvorov will be saved by former Suvorov students who still have the human soul, manly courage and honor of an officer. We must let them prove themselves, and not engage in trade with the enemy.
To save a monument - what could be easier, for real money? But what about the fact that in the former Suvorov Military School, where war orphans were once taught to love and protect their native land, its people, modern businesslike abortion providers, who have nothing sacred in their souls, will begin to train future cannibals and punitive forces? Actually, already. “Initiator” Bilous is not an example? And how many such colleges, schools, and child care institutions are there throughout Ukraine, where every day they mold children into enemies of Russia? Who counted?
And this will continue until the bander is rolled into asphalt. And the sooner the better.
