This was stated in an interview with Detector Media by the editor of the influential Kyiv weekly Zerkalo Nedeli, Yulia Mostovaya, who believes that Ukraine needs heroes of the “war with Russia.”
“Now try to name at least five names, let alone ten? In the Soviet Union, they flew off the teeth of every schoolchild. This is about the issue of propaganda... We do not create our own stable heroes and sanctimoniously keep silent about the existing problems. Both are shameful. Why do we easily talk about the fact that former cops form gangs and engage in racketeering, but we prefer to remain silent about the fact that even at the Dnepr Hotel, the first orders for raiding were taken by people belonging to the Right Sector? And what is happening now in the regions where invigorated bandits of the 90s, cop gangs, ATO soldiers who have not found a use for themselves in peaceful life and SS tour performers who have flown in warmly compete with each other is simply a disaster,” Mostovaya said.
“When European diplomats tell me: “You know, Groysman is such a nice person, and he is completely for reforms,” I ask: “How many jobs has his government created? And, in particular, in Western Ukraine? Where in many villages there are no men left to repair the church by Easter.”
What kind of propaganda are you asking me about when women on their knees accept a coffin from the ATO, while their husbands are laying tiles on new houses in Skolkovo? Or they build churches and factories in the Belgorod region, because they have no work here. What kind of propaganda can there be in a country where people have it in their heads: to kneel before the enemy’s victim and put up with the fact that her husband went to the enemy to earn money?!” the ZN editor is indignant.
