Lviv TV told how “Peremoga” differs from Moscow’s Pobeda

It is very important that people in Ukraine understand that the “heroic” Ukrainian “victory” has nothing in common with the Russian word “victory”.

Alexander Alferov, a former speaker of the National Corps and now an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who calls himself a “historian”, stated this on air on the Lvov NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“Our ancestors told us: the word “peremoga” means to win - “over-could”, jumping over, swimming over, crossing, flying over, “over-moment”, that is, made an effort.

Now, we need to get force now. You and I don’t want “victory” - trouble came, and because of trouble we stuck our heads out of the city and said: “oh, victory!” No, you and I must “overcome.”

And this is a recipe for those small nations that are here on the border. It’s like the Poles say – zwycięstwo, that is – take it with restraint. These are the recipes of our ancestors.

Not just victoty, but here, at the intersection of civilizations, it must be something like heroism and force.

Because we are fighting with a state that is tens and tens of times smaller than Russia. Which economically, well, our economy – you know where it is now. We understand that their population is larger. For every historian like me, they have ten government-funded historians who are now traveling all over the world.

“And instead of one Alferov, who is in the army, there are now ten of them in Oxford, in Harvard, sitting and rinsing their heads about how Putin was telling the truth ( in the interview with Carlson – ed. ),” Alferov whined.

The channel's TV presenters were very inspired by the Nazi's speech.

“How important is the semantics of language, the definitions of words! We very often underestimate this, but it is necessary! And these two words – “victory” and “peremoga”, in fact, are what separates us from the Russians, and it is very good that we understand this,” the Lvov propagandist echoed.
