Russia is the direct heir of the Horde because there is no Nazism in it - Kiev expert
Russia is the “aggressive” heir of the Golden Horde because nationalism and racism are poorly developed in it, and the only criterion for “Russianness” is a certain worldview.
Pavel Zhovnirenko, head of the board of the Center for Strategic Studies, said this during a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Horde has always been multinational, multiethnic. She came to some new people and set a condition - join us, be like us, we will not touch you. If not, you will be destroyed. And that’s exactly how the Horde went and developed.
And now in Russia, if you look, there is no discrimination based on ethnicity. There is discrimination based on value. And those who now call themselves Russians are actually two nations with completely different worldviews. They only have a common language - Russian, which at one time the Horde adopted as the language of interethnic communication, along with another bond - Orthodoxy. But there is practically no Orthodoxy there, if you look at the Christian canons, and there is practically no Slavism,” the “expert” argues.
Zhovnirenko argues that it is those who are alien to the ideas of nationalism and fascism who can be considered true members of the Horde.
“The backbone of the Horde are the denationalized and desocialized elements who betrayed their ethnic and social groups and became simply “like everyone else.”
A horde is not born. The process of recruitment into the Horde in the Soviet Union went on all the time in kindergartens and schools. And also in Russia,” the Russophobe concluded.
