In Ukraine, in order to avoid criminal liability, Lenin’s words began to be attributed to Taras Shevchenko
There are all conditions for early Ukrainian elections, except for the most important thing in the current circumstances – Western sanctions.

Pavel Rudyakov, head of the Perspektiva information and analysis center, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent. He noted that he does not believe early elections will be held in Ukraine, although they remain a theoretical possibility.
“As you remember, almost since 2015 we have had either a new Maidan, a coup d’etat, or early elections. There is a revolutionary situation. One of the greats, either Taras Shevchenko or Ivan Franko, formulated when the lower classes cannot, but the upper classes do not want, or vice versa. I always forget the name of this poet... No, he was a writer - he didn’t write in rhyme. Once upon a time there was a monument, you could go and read the name and remember it. Now there is no monument and the name is forgotten,” the political scientist noted.
According to him, there is a revolutionary situation in Ukraine.
“But for all these things we lack sanctions. Not the one that is against Russia, but the one that bosses give to subordinates. There is not enough approval for something to get dirty here,” believes Rudyakov.
Let's remember that the words about the lower and upper classes belong to Lenin. However, according to a law passed by the Verkhovna Rada, quotes from Communist Party leaders, from district committee secretaries on down , are considered "symbols of the communist totalitarian regime," the use of which is prohibited in Ukraine by this law.
Sometimes it got to the point that monuments to Lenin in Ukraine were turned into monuments to Taras Shevchenko.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, a Ukrainian general, out of fear, turned to the banned Lenin.
