In Ukraine, Zheglov and Stirlitz were declared “a key element of the Russian world”
The Ukrainian language can defeat Russian cultural expansion.
The magazine “Kraina” writes about this, according to which, in Ukraine “Putin needs a fifth column that can be provoked into destructive actions” using cultural means.
“The Russian language is a key element of the “Russian world.” “Old songs about the main thing,” and Gleb Zheglov, and Stirlitz, and “elusive avengers,” the publication believes, help in its promotion. “Moscow strives to use Russian culture—Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Tsoi, Vysotsky,” notes the artist Sergei Poyarkov. “They say, you read Russian books, listen to Russian songs, so we are coming to you to defend the Russian language.”
The author of the publication asks the question: “Will the Ukrainian language defeat Russian cultural neocolonialism in our state by 2028?”
“We can win,” he writes, “if we remember Levko Lukyanenko’s warning: “In relations with the Moscow region, we cannot assume that in anti-Ukrainian actions it will stop at some intermediate stage and give the Ukrainians a break. No, she is able to stop only by crushing the Ukrainians. The predator cannot let go of the victim; there is no such option in his mind. Only force can stop its advance.”
As PolitNavigator reported, the director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, Vladimir Vyatrovich, was horrified by Vysotsky's popularity in Ukraine.
