History as countermeasure to propaganda

Our effective resistance to Moscow's aggression was due to the fact that we identify ourselves as Ukrainians

client/title.list_title

Identification as Ukrainians is much easier if you know the history of Ukraine. Especially in the context of constant wars with Russia and their devastating consequences for the Ukrainian ethnic group. The current attempts of Russians to pass themselves off as our brothers are easily shattered by the history of their intrigues, betrayals, and unjustified cruelty. For those who know the history of their meanness, Russia's lies no longer work.

The large number of collaborators in the occupied Donbas and Crimea is a direct consequence of Ukraine's failed cultural policy and negligent attitude to history. Some people in the occupied territories identify themselves as Muscovites, and this facilitated the occupation of these territories in 2014.

“The large number of collaborators in the occupied Donbas and Crimea is a direct consequence of Ukraine's failed cultural policy and negligent attitude to history.”

Despite the war, some Ukrainians still consider themselves Muscovites. They are in the Moscow cultural field and believe that “everything is not so clear-cut.”

Increasing the number of citizens who consider  themselves Ukrainians is critically important for the country's future. Moscow's influence is great and will not go away after the war. An effective way to counteract enemy propaganda is to increase the role of history in educational programs. This is the subject that tells us who we are.

And when the Ministry of Plagiarism, Education and Science named after Shkarlet excludes history from the compulsory subjects at the EIT (External independent testing - ed.) I don't have enough censorious words to describe this f*ck.

“Shkarlet's role has long gone beyond the perception of him as a petty provincial thief. Now Shkarlet's activities in the Ministry of Education and Science threaten national security.”

Shkarlet's (Serhiy Shkarlet is the Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine - ed.) role has long gone beyond the perception of him as a petty provincial thief. Now, Shkarlet's activities at the Ministry of Education and Science jeopardize national security. And if the NABU had focused on him instead of on retired officials, the state would have benefited much more.

Return the history of Ukraine to the EIT!!!
