Lecture for Kyiv students: Russians treat you like pets
Traveling to Russia is a betrayal for Ukrainians; in addition, Russians perceive residents of the former Soviet republic as “pets.”
Vitaly Portnikov, a well-known Ukrainian propagandist who gained notoriety thanks to a gay video that surfaced during the Euromaidan protests, delivered these instructions during a lecture to Kyiv students, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I know that many of you don’t think so, I know that many of you go to Russia, I know that many of you think that everything is fine. I know many of you don't see any problem with this.
I want you to know how Russians treat people like you. Like inferior Ukrainians who have no human honor. How about these pets that you can keep and not respect.
Each of you who crosses the Russian-Ukrainian border with a Ukrainian passport turns into a pet in the eyes of a Russian. Because a Russian himself would never do this in his life - he would never in his life go to a country that occupies part of his territory, he would never go in his life, because the Russians are an imperial, but state-forming nation.
And they can only treat representatives of the country who come and say: “Oh, how we want to be friends with you, dear brothers,” as non-humans. Each of you who goes there and tries to talk must remember that no one yet regards him not only as an interlocutor, but as a person. Traitors are not loved anywhere,” Portnikov said.
The speech of the scandalous propagandist was commented on by political scientist Vladimir Kornilov. “Pay attention to the gestures. Goebbels is resting! – the expert believes.
