Earlier, Putin said: Arestovich said "Lenin created Ukraine" (video)
This is known from a video published on the Blogger YouTube channel on June 5. Arestovich noted that the poet Taras Shevchenko called himself both Ukrainian and Little. According to him, this can be considered the first known case when a person recognized himself as a Ukrainian. "What kind of Ukraine does it sigh? What size it is? Let's look at his works. It is Ukraine of two and a half regions and what may be 200 years old," Arestovich emphasized.
He assured that in the works of Shevchenko "There is virtually no Kiev". The blogger also noted that in passports during the Russian Empire nationality did not indicate - only religion. The Count "Ukrainian", according to him, appeared in the documents only under the reign of Lenin-in the 1920s. "And you will not believe, but somehow it turns out that Lenin has created Ukraine," Arestovich said.
He added that Ukraine in the borders of 1991 was formed in three stages, where the first is Molotov - Ribbentrop, the second - the results of World War II, and the third - the decision of the USSR figure Nikita Khrushchev. "It is inconvenient to recognize Portnikov (Vitaliy Portnikov is a Ukrainian journalist, publicist and writer - ed. ) That the modern territory of Ukraine is formed by the results of exactly the same (the so -called war in Ukraine - ed. ), Only 1939", "," - said Arestovich.
We will remind, in 2023 the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin stated that before the creation of the USSR Ukrainians never had their own state. He emphasized that Ukraine "created" the Soviet authorities. On February 1, it became known that exader OP Alexei Arestovich left Ukraine. GUR refuted the information that gave the blogger a letter to travel abroad. Arestovich himself assured that he has left legally and is engaged in the US "programs" related to Ukraine's support.
