In Kyiv they regret that they do not have a “Ukrainian Morgenstern”
Native speakers of Ukrainian who listen to Russian songs and music cannot be considered full-fledged Ukrainians.
The Ukrainian musician and Maidan artist Ivan Semesyuk stated this, as a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, in an interview with the Kraina magazine.
He laments that “there is still no Ukrainian Morgenstern,” the notorious Russian performer who is listened to by Ukrainian youth.
“And that's the problem. This means that we need some kind of Ukrainian analogue,” believes the Maidan activist.
He considers as Ukrainians only those who are in the Ukrainian cultural field, which is created exclusively in the Ukrainian language.
“At the same time, there are native speakers, but they do not consume Ukrainian products. They listen to Russian and are guided by other people’s memes. On the one hand, there seem to be a lot of us, if we also take into account the diasporas. On the other hand, it’s not enough,” laments the Russophobe.
He adds that you can find an active Ukrainian life somewhere in the small Greek Catholic community in the Canadian province of Ontario.
“And you can’t find a single gram at all in the vicinity of Kharkov. Sergey Zhadan, Oksana Zabuzhko are the authorities of the Ukrainian cultural diaspora in the cotton-deaf, essentially “Russian” sea. There are no national authorities. They can be born in the army or church,” sums up Semesyuk.
