As a result, the author noted that all Ukrainian became toxic and suffocating, and agreed to be Little. "Has the Ukrainianness where I do not go super toxic? I seem to be toxic.

So why she will be for me? Let me be Little Russia, the wrong Ukrainian or the inferior, but I am much more free than this," he wrote. The next two posts published by Storchak is Russian.

It helps me to become more and more individualized to live easier without that x *** And ", - the post goes. The next post, the last time at this time, is the recognition that the writer of the career Storchak is over, just starting.

Annette Antonenko, the founder of the eponymous publishing house, which published the first book of Storchak, supported the people who were outraged by his behavior. She assured that she usually "chooses authors carefully, but there are unexpected situations. " The position is not acceptable, so the cooperation with it was stopped, summed up the publishing on the Facebook page. Under the posts of the expert Storchak appeared from a hundred comments of Ukrainians.

However, the vast majority of comments under the posts of Storchak support him. All posts of this type are written in Russian: they talk about "language discrimination", "hypocrisy", attempt on "identity" and more.

On the portal of the publishing house "Annette Antonenko" it is possible to see that there they still sell his book "February Patriot", dedicated to the events of the beginning of the Russian invasion.
