Zelensky is creating a dangerous anti-Russian myth
The introduction by Vladimir Zelensky of a new memorable date – “Day of Resistance to the Occupation of Crimea” – creates another anti-Russian myth among the residents of Ukraine, which has nothing to do with reality.
Yuriy Tkachev, editor-in-chief of the Odessa publication "Timer," discusses this in his blog, reports a correspondent for "PolitNavigator . "
“Of course, you and I remember that 2/3 of Crimean military personnel and about 3/4 of Crimean law enforcement officers accepted Russian citizenship. But I don’t think this will stop us from celebrating this day with pomp.
Ultimately, the Ukrainian media will simply forget about this fact, and the majority of Ukrainian citizens are cut off from the media of other countries: from Western media due to the language barrier, from Russian media due to administrative bans.
So it will not be difficult to paint a picture in the minds of citizens in which the Crimeans valiantly resisted the “Russian occupation”, and only the overwhelming numerical superiority of the enemy forced them to yield (but not surrender).
As a result, another point will appear in the collective consciousness of a citizen of Ukraine that separates him from objective reality,” explains Tkachev.
Previously, Zelensky stated that Ukraine should intensify the information war to regain control over Crimea and Donbass.
