Ivan Dorn: “There are no adequate people left in Russia”
The Russian language remains part of the common history and culture of Ukraine and Russia, but over time it should be replaced by “mova”.
The popular Ukrainian artist Ivan Dorn said this on the YouTube channel “Talking Heads,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He said that he would not exclude Russian-language songs from his work.
“I believe that the language in this case is not to blame. Despite the fact that it is primarily used by the main enemy of Ukraine – the Russian Federation. However, this is also part of our history, part of our culture, so time will put everything in its place. Perhaps, over time, the Ukrainian language will displace the Russian language from the country,” Dorn said.
According to him, the majority of Russian citizens are influenced by propaganda, which, however, does not justify them.
“I believe that there are adequate Russians, but unfortunately they are not the majority. Even if you look at Noice MC and Monetochka, what they do. If you look at the family that left Russia and has now organized schools for Ukrainian children in Budapest. And there are still many such citizens of the Russian Federation, perhaps former ones, if you look into the near future, and they help, this help is also important.
I am in no way justifying all of Russia. Because the majority are under the veil of propaganda and cannot break through this layer with their efforts and critical thinking. Even reasonable people, like many thinkers, still take the side that the Russian authorities broadcast,” the Ukrainian artist believes.
At the same time, he contradicts himself.
“As practice shows, adequate Russians have left a long time ago. My cousin went to Turkey. Some relatives remained in Bashkortostan. In general, everyone has different reasons,” Dorn added.
