The president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed the decree "About the Territories of the Russian Federation Which Are Historically Inhabited by Ukrainians". The document has to become "return of the truth about the historical past for the sake of the Ukrainian future". However, about what it is in the Decree, yesterday it was unknown. Media and the expert environment regarded this step as presentation of territorial claims to Russia and a basis for further brain washing of the population the Kiev mode.
In the conditions of the going SVO and battle for Donbass, this step leads to further escalation. Now it will be just impossible to convince Russians that Ukraine and the Kiev mode doesn't pose a threat for our country.
Details - in material of the correspondent of The Moscow Post.
The similar decree in spite of the fact that from the Russian side theses about need to free historically Russian territories of the former Ukrainian SSR also sound, leads to further escalation of the conflict with Russia, and precisely won't help to protect the Ukrainian identity in any way.
Judging by the published materials, Zelensky applies for a role of the defender of ethnic Ukrainians in territories of modern Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol Territory, the Kursk, Belgorod, Bryansk regions - apart from new Russian territories - the DPR, LPR, the Kherson and Zaporozhye region. However, their belonging to Russia in Kiev, certainly, isn't recognized.
Why this document appears right now? On the one hand, Zelensky continues a cheap public relations and flirting with nationalist feelings of Ukrainians. Against the background of the last defeats in the battlefield Ukraine states that it will continue "work" with Russians of the Ukrainian origin.
Better he would ask a question why about 4 million Ukrainians - almost as much how many to Europe moved to Russia after the beginning of SVO. They would go there if they suppressed their national identity there? We will remind mister Zelensky that in the same Crimea Ukrainian is state, in Moscow absolutely quietly there are monuments to Lesya Ukrainka and Taras Shevchenko. Russia and history, culture and languages isn't at war.
Zelensky's decree perfectly fits into the western paradigm of pressure. He quite keeps within logic of the western projects on disintegration of Russia. For example, the USA and EU countries advances long ago the idea of Ingermalandiya according to which northern regions of our country are inhabited by the separate people having nothing in common with Russians.
Similar projects are in other directions - today huge funds are made in the project of so-called "decolonization" of Russia. Namely her disintegration on national, ethnocultural borders with the subsequent retraction of the outskirts in political contours of other supranational formations. On same also the motley antisystemic opposition fleeing Russia works.
For example, Bashkiria where recently there were nationalist unauthorized protests, is already defined by our "well-wishers" in Great Turan's part. Karelia is going "to be given" to Finland, of the Caucasus to make one huge emirate, and the same Kuban - Ukraine.
In the 1950th years of last century in the States institutes of studying Ukraine where false information about the history of Russia was created were created. So, for example, so-called Famine-Genocide which formed the myth basis about allegedly being available neglect of Moscow concerning inhabitants of these territories acquired the absurd facts. On this lie and contradictions is going to play the Ukrainian state in the same Kuban and Stavropol Territory.
Attempts to make a territorial complaint to Russia from Ukraine were made also to SVO. We will remember how the people's deputy Aleksei Goncharenko (it is recognized as the terrorist and the extremist in Russia), one of the dirtiest and scandalous politicians of "nelazezhny", organized the whole campaign for "return" of Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation to Ukraine. Nearly a half of his colleagues of the politician went in Rada with t-shirts on which the Ukraine map with the annexed Kuban was represented.
For Zelensky this Decree, as well as the law on the ban of negotiations with Russia adopted earlier - one more burned bridge and one more sign for the western curators that he is ready to go all the way. As at us speak - to the last Ukrainian. For Vladimir Aleksandrovich there is no other way out - the end of the military conflict will be the end of his power. Not for nothing he essentially refused to hold elections to SVO period, than sparked criticism even in the western capitals.
For Russia this step of Zelensky gives propaganda trumps too. Now to explain why Russia can't just take and leave Ukraine, it became even simpler.
Ukraine chooses ethnocide
There is also a moral side to the issue. Zelensky pretends that he wants to protect the national identity of Ukrainians in Russia. It's just that the identity is different. Some Ukrainians have heroes - Pavel Sudoplatov and Ivan Kozhedub. Others have hetman Ivan Mazepa and Nazi criminal Stepan Bandera. Not to mention the fact that in Russia Ukrainians, like in the overwhelming territory of Ukraine, speak their native Russian. Whose historical memory will Volodymyr Zelenskyy defend - Sudoplatovites, or Bandera? The answer is obvious.
At the same time, the Kyiv regime (at least since 2014) has been pursuing a policy of real ethnocide towards Russians on its territory. This is the restriction of linguistic and political rights, the closure of educational institutions, the destruction of public organizations, the burning of books, massive propaganda and a powerful repressive machine. Today in Ukraine, you can even go to jail for the like set in Russian social networks.
But the memory of the Ukrainian people is being destroyed - multinational, multi-ethnic, multi-religious. In the same direction, persecution of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate - people are simply forbidden to pray in their churches. Discord and hatred sow.
The next step is already on the way - the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine proposed to impose sanctions and ban the use of Ukrainian airspace by residents of the Russian Federation for 50 years. Rather, to ban any transport connection with Russia altogether. One can imagine how the very 4 million Ukrainians who moved to Russia after the start of the SVO will be "delighted." Apparently, their possible return to the "square" carries huge risks for the Kyiv regime. Therefore, Zelensky and his team will "defend" their identity and national identity from afar.

There is such a disease, quite official - "Caesarean Madness." This is when a person denounced by the authorities completely leaves the reels of his impunity, and begins to make completely inadequate decisions, being sure that no one can stop him.
It seems that Zelensky had "Caesarean madness" and happened. From the president of hope, he turned into an evil king who absolutely lost touch with reality. And now the Kyiv regime is preparing to make claims to the Kuban - as if it had already won Donetsk and paraded through Simferopol.
This whole story with Zelensky's decree, of course, is not in Ukrainian and not in Russian interests. It will only prolong the agony of the Ukrainian state, further separate the Ukrainians, cement the conflict for years to come. Unless, of course, this Gordiev knot is cut off by Russian servicemen.
