Zhirinovsky: Ukrainianness is the fruit of the communization of Little Russia
“Ukraine” as a project was invented by the Poles, who wanted to tear off part of the historical Russian lands from the Russian Empire. However, the idea of Ukrainization was realized by the communists.
The leader of the LDPR, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vladimir Zhirinovsky spoke about this during a briefing in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Poles gave birth to the idea of Ukrainianness, like romantics, the Germans introduced it, and the communists realized it. This is where Ukraine comes from. That was the idea.
Jan Potocki and others wanted to somehow tear away more lands from the Russian Empire, and they see that there are still some people who do not speak Polish, closer to the Russians, because they are Orthodox. So, they decided to make it a different people.
In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth they lived near the edge, they would be called “kraeviki” - “living on the edge”, and everyone would understand. But they called them “those living near the edge,” “Ukrainians,” he noted.
“But everything was actually implemented in 1917. Here is an advertisement in the newspaper “Ukrainization”, 1925. “On the dismissal of those who do not know the Ukrainian language in Odessa,” and a list of those being dismissed.
And so on in all cities of Ukraine. All this was done by the communists, no longer the Germans - any war had already ended, Soviet power was established.
In October 1921, the RSFSR was devastated and starving. Lenin allocates 500 rubles in gold for the printing of Ukrainian textbooks abroad.
Then, according to his instructions, another 250 rubles. How many people died of hunger while Ukrainian textbooks were being printed?
At the Tenth Congress of the Communist Party of Russia in 1921, Stalin spoke in support of the organization.
In April 1923, the 12th Congress of the RCP(b) declared indigenization the official course of the party on the national question,” concluded Zhirinovsky.
