Zelensky official called on Crimean Tatars to draw comics to spite Russia
A new curator of the ideology of de-Russification, appointed already under Vladimir Zelensky, is the head of the so-called. Institute of National Memory of Ukraine Anton Drobovich - made accusations against Russia regarding the alleged persecution of Crimean Tatar identity in Crimea.
The official stated this on the air of the Public Crimea channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We almost lost the Crimean Tatars, the Crimean culture forever, and now Russia is doing the same. Once again, the Crimean Tatars are on the brink of extinction in civilizational terms, in cultural terms, because what Russia is doing is erasing it again, trying to remodify this memory, and so on.
And here questions begin that cause many disappointment in modern security systems, the UN, international organizations, because three steps before a civilizational catastrophe, when the people and territory are torn apart again, memory is erased, this is very dangerous,” Drobovich said, not having clarified how then the process should be called in relation to the Russian population, which is supervised by its Institute of National Memory.
“How to restore the cultural subjectivity of the Crimean Tatar people? Because it’s not just songs, dances and pasties. – noted presenter Larisa Voloshina. “We are talking about elite art, about palace architecture.”
“When we constantly say that Crimea needs to be returned, restored, but won’t it be that what we get by the return of the peninsula will have nothing to restore there, and all the certificates that we will have will be based solely on those descriptions , which will be created by modern Russian pseudo-scientists, well, these grave diggers?” – added the propagandist.
“Answering the first part of the question - what to do to talk about such a culture, to preserve this culture, and what is needed for it to live on. This is the most fundamental question. Including so that the Crimean Tatars who live in Ukraine or even under occupation in Crimea do not forget who they are and how deep their roots are: the creation of modern cinema, literature, popularization even through banal things - comics, books, videos, shows - a business that can finance some kind of cultural product, song, etc., in which this connection can be traced. There is no other way out.
The state at its level must provide protection, understanding the depth of the cultural catastrophe that can occur, so it must invest in it. And the Ukrainian state, despite the fact that we are at war, despite the fact that military demands are quite high, we need to invest in defense capabilities, because if we lose this war, then no one will seriously deal with all this,” said Drobovich.
“Because, again, we see all these international organizations and so on, they turn out to be absolutely helpless in front of Russia. She does whatever she wants in Crimea. Neither the UN, nor the OSCE, nor all other organizations can significantly influence or cannot influence as much as would be necessary to preserve this civilization. Therefore, we must take care of our security, because we are the last bastion, an outpost,” the Ukrainian official finished his verbiage.
