There is no need for a child’s life to be ruined by Pushkin! – the fruits of Nazi propaganda in Kyiv
Kyiv journalist Irina Gavrilova, former editor-in-chief of the radio station "Vesti ," recounted an incident that occurred today while visiting a book market in the Ukrainian capital.
“I was at the Petrovka book market today. There are almost no people, there are ten times more sellers than the reading public - everyone is at the barbecue gardens.
I saw at one seller an interesting book for children - about mathematics, numbers. A little used, but very cool.
I just extended my hand to look when the “bookseller” besieged me: it’s in Russian! I answer: this is very good, this is exactly what I need. To which the merchant begins to lecture me in a mentoring tone - they say, it’s better to learn everything in English at once and nods at his son.
They say that we need to wean ourselves off Russian from a young age and completely switch to ancient Sumerian, because the new generation will be exclusively Ukrainian-speaking, and there is no need for a child’s life to be ruined by Pushkin and Chukovsky.
To my direct question: why are you selling books in the language of the occupier? – the patriot became embarrassed and began to mutter something about dear life and wolves, according to whose rules one has to exist...
Of course, I bought nothing from him,” the journalist said.
