Ukrainian writer: The main evil is the synthesis of Lubyanka and Hollywood

Kyiv, December 29 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – The Kremlin is driving the image of a “bad Ukrainian” into the public consciousness, synthesizing the methods of Lubyanka and Hollywood, as a result of which Ukrainians can no longer live without Russian TV series and songs.

Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko stated this in an interview with the Kraina weekly, answering the question about what feelings Russia has pressed and is pressuring in relations with Ukraine.

“Driving into the consciousness the image of a “bad Ukrainian,” says the writer. – Demoralization, lack of self-confidence. Continuation of the same colonial policy. The propaganda hasn't changed. Constantly filling the airwaves with Russian content at the level of “two stomps, two slams” - fun, chansons-musicals. Synthesis of Lubyanka and Hollywood. But take it all away now – the average Ukrainian will experience culture shock. Because at the level of entertainment, a daily product, he can no longer imagine himself without Russian show business. I’m used to “nannies” and “cadets.” And this adaptation is the very line of formation of internal inferiority.”
