| Direct Translation via Google Translate [Rusvesna] Zakhar Prilepin, a well-known Russian writer and former deputy commander of the DPR Army, comments on the program article published yesterday by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the unity of Russians and Ukrainians. "The emperor correctly writes in his article that Kiev does not need Donbass. I would also like to remind you that Kyev does not need Rusyns and the Rusyns do not need Kyev, because the Rusyns filed for secession back in the same distant 2014, but Kyev hushed up the case with the Rusyns. But Rusyns remember their desire. Kiev does not need Odessa, since Kyev tried to burn it down. Kiev does not need Kharkov, it is pro-Russian. Kiev does not need Poltava, the Russian imperialist Gogol was born there. Kiev does not need Kherson, because Kyev did not build it. Kiev does not need Chernigov, because from there - the Russian Chernigov prince, the hero of "The Lay of Igor's Regiment". Kyev does not need forests where Kovpak was, as well as the Galicia-Volyn Russian principality. Kiev does not need Lvov, because Lvov belongs to Stalin. Kiev does not need Russian Kiev. But first, Donbass. It's right. All Donbass. Let us remind you that Vladimir Putin in his article recalled how exactly the current Ukraine ended up within its modern borders and at the expense of whom it grew in territories. He also recalled the policy of indigenousization pursued by the Bolsheviks, which for the Ukrainian SSR resulted in the development of the Ukrainian language and culture. The President called modern Ukraine the brainchild of the Soviet era. A little earlier Prilepin wrote in his Telegram channel: “I flew here on a plane, read the latest issues of the AIF and KP with two pages dedicated to the problem of Ukraine. The main message is "we are one people" (true) and "Ukraine was created under the USSR" (in fact, no, it is not true - because both the Zaporozhye Sich, and the Little Russian territories within the Commonwealth, and the Ukrainian-Kharkov province in the 19th century in as part of Russia, and Ukraine Skoropadsky and other petlyurs - all this was before the USSR; Yeltsin created a sovereign Ukraine in its present form in 1991. And the Bolsheviks returned it to Russia. Do not confuse this). These are, however, details. Donbass will be recognized and annexed." |
