Other myths of Putin's propaganda are next in line.
Successful operations of the AFU and strikes by Ukrainian drones against strategic facilities of the Russian Federation are bearing fruit. This was stated by a well-known Ukrainian journalist and political analyst Vitaliy Portnikov.
The website Charter97.org quotes a fragment of his speech on the YouTube channel "And granule Graham".
- The brotherhood lie to take over other people's stuff still works. Now they have the refineries in St. Petersburg on fire, and here, just at this stage, people with this consciousness have a certain contradiction.
While we see the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, Ms. Yampolskaya, talking about how Medinsky's textbooks are being implemented, where mythology is laid out, it is taught to children in schools.
While we see ethnic Ukrainians from Luhansk, Donetsk region, for example, being invited to a congress of Russian teachers in Crimea to help them return to their "native" Russian language. But this is not true. These lands have never had a native Russian language. Not a single day in their history. It's a lie.
It's all beaten into their heads by bad schooling. Most of these people are ignorant. They just know the course of school history, written, in fact, by graphomaniacs on the motives of Karamzin, who created a convenient version of history for the Romanovs.
The whole history of the Russian state, from the first day of its composition, is a lie, but Russian people have never been taught anything else. They believe it. From the plumber to the blogger who fled Russia from Putin's regime. From someone who is repairing your faucets now in St. Petersburg, after they may have failed amid the shelling, to some pseudo-liberal chatterbox.
But now, according to Vitaly Portnikov, another myth is being shattered:
-"I remember my dialog with my grandmother in Soviet times," he says. - I was still a small child. And, of course, I the same kindergarten, school, something there reached. Lenin was hanging, the song about "Aurora" we sang and everything.
I once asked my grandmother: "The Red Army, it really never lost?" She said: "Grandson, it didn't." And that was the first time I was confronted with the fact that the Red Army was not what it may have seemed to me then as a child.
I then began to have that myth shattered. I suddenly heard something that didn't match what was coming from all sides. Now many Russians see that the myth is crumbling. The myth of Putin is crumbling. The myth of the invincible Russian army is crumbling. The myth of perfect nuclear weapons and their carriers is crumbling. Everything is collapsing.
Strategic aviation is on fire. Ships in the port of St. Petersburg are sinking, combat ships. Refineries are burning. I realize that this is not the end. The war is not over yet and the turning point may not even be there. But it can be seen.
