“Muscovites stole the diploma, “mova” and “vira”, but left Poroshenko and Svinarchuk”
Russia allegedly turned Ukraine into a region with the lowest percentage of literate population.
Ukrainian political scientist and philosopher Valery Dymov stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“Many of us came from the communists, I’ll just remind you of one remark. At the 1648th Congress of the RSDLP (b), Grigory Ivanovich Petrovsky, I won’t talk about the law of decommunization here, cited the following statistics: in 6, XNUMX years before the so-called Pereyaslav agreements, the tsar appointed a deacon here, and he reported to the tsar that everything was literate people in every village, and even literate girls, which in Russia in general was nonsense.
So, on the eve of the twentieth century, after these circulars of the Valuevskys, literacy was taken away from us, we had the lowest percentage of the literate population. Therefore, they first took away the name, took away Orthodoxy from us, took away our icons, took away our “language”, and then they say…” said Dymov.
“If only they had taken Svinarchuk and Poroshenko!” – Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik sarcastically responded.
