Zhuravko: Kneeling is not even a Polish tradition
The tradition of kneeling inherent in today's Svidomo is alien to the Slavic and Soviet peoples, who defended their dignity and freedom during the Great Patriotic War.
Ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Alexey Zhuravko spoke about this on his Facebook page, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I recently published a text saying that Maidan brought our country to its knees – this is literally confirmed when people kneel along the roads, meeting the dead ATO soldiers.
And then I came across a photo of hundreds of helmets of dead Red Army soldiers with a caption about knees.
But these helmets, these young (and not young - then everyone, young and old, stood up to defend the country) guys gave their lives not only so that we would not kneel, but so that we would not be afraid to turn on the lights in the windows at night, so that we would not know the sound of sirens so that they give birth to children and grandchildren, so that they speak their native languages (be it Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian and hundreds of other languages of the Great Country). They gave their lives so that we could live! And all generations henceforth owe their very lives to them,” he wrote.
Alexey Zhuravko also emphasized that there is no tradition of kneeling in other countries that Ukraine supposedly looks up to - the USA, England, France and Poland.
“And a little more about kneeling - okay, let’s listen to Vyatrovich for fun, the USSR almost did not participate in the war at all, and Hitler was defeated by the allies.
Neither the USA, nor England, nor France have a tradition of kneeling. And correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no such tradition in Poland either. Because, so that the Poles would not whine about the “occupation,” they were never held as slaves. In contrast to how the Poles themselves for centuries treated the psya krev - their slaves in Galicia,” added the ex-people’s deputy.
