It is unacceptable when Russian TV channels portray Ukrainians as clowns and buffoons.
Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Natalya Poklonskaya stated this on the air of the Russian liberal radio station “Echo of Moscow,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I will probably raise the topic of Ukraine today, but I don’t at all like this technique, which is often used here and on federal channels when we talk about Russian reality, and in the end everything shifts to Ukraine. Let’s still discuss how we live in Russia,” radio host Yegor Zhukov said during the conversation.
“I also don’t like it when in Russia they discuss Ukraine and present it in an indecent light, showing clowns and buffoons who have no relation and no right to represent the whole country, and we all sit here, laughing in unison - look how stupid crests are, look, How handsome we are compared to them! I don’t like it, but I am part of Ukraine, Egor. Therefore, I have the right to talk about this,” Poklonskaya replied.
Poklonskaya did not specify whether she considers the famous Kyiv political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky and other moderate Ukrainian experts to be a “clown and a buffoon” who constantly appears on Russian airwaves.
Let us note that Russian users often called Poklonskaya a clown and a jester when she started Internet wars for morality and against feature films.
