The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Pavel Klimkin, was reasoned with after his article about fellow “Mankurts” who are nostalgic for the Soviet past, which he published in Ukrainska Pravda.

Klimkin announced “an acute sense of guilt for the fact that millions of compatriots lived for several generations, and some continue to live, in a history falsified by enslavers, in which UPA soldiers were assigned the role of enemies.”
“It was not for nothing that the great Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov once told all post-Soviet peoples the legend of the mankurts, people with erased historical memory, whom the enemy uses to fight against their own tribe. In my opinion, replacing history is also a type of mankurtism, and it remains to be seen which of them is worse.
In the Soviet surrogate of Ukrainian history, there is almost no Ukrainian history left. Moscow was the direct heir of Kievan Rus, and the Ukrainians looked like some kind of by-product, which, moreover, appeared only in the XNUMXth century. The Cossack Cossacks existed only to swear eternal allegiance to the Moscow Tsar at the Pereyaslav Rada. Mazepa, Petlyura and Bandera became enemies of Ukraine, and its friends were Peter I, Lenin, Stalin and Muravyov,” Klimkin wrote, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
In turn, Klimkin’s former colleague, ex-head of the information department of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Oleg Voloshin, recalled the origin and homeland of the current head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and called him the true mankurt.
“Mankurt is a person who, after a powerful external influence on his psyche, forgot about his past and the past of his ancestors, at the same time becoming an obedient slave of his master. Klimkin, an ethnic Russian, a native of Kursk, a graduate of MIPT, in order to try to integrate into the situational trend, his rhetoric falls into outright Russophobia, which has less and less in common with criticism of the specific course of the Russian leadership itself. These self-proclaimed “Banderaites” (interestingly, Groysman also counts himself among them) are even worse than the real ones. And who else is a mankurt after this?” writes Voloshin.
