The official representative of the foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said the words of the Deputy Minister of Ukraine Vasyl Bodnar about the fact That Moscow is trying to " steal the history of Ukraine-Rus ".
before Bodnar in the publication for the online newspaper "Zerkalo Nedeli" was subjected to charges of the Russian Federation in an attempt to "drive a wedge of history" between Kiev and Warsaw and tried to convince Poland to unite against the capital of Russia. He asserted that Russia " since ancient times, shows the gift to steal not only foreign territory, but also someone else's story, As, for example, history of Ukraine-Rus ". In addition, Bodnar said That Moscow is "taking other people's victory" and " passed on to the other responsibility for the iniquity." He then expressed support to the Polish Sejm, who accused the Soviet Union in the outbreak of the Second world war.
"Russia wants to drive a wedge between Ukraine and Poland, And in the criminal rewriting of history. As for " Ukraine-Rus ", then I would like to add the start and end dates of the existence of this little Russian Hyperborea, " wrote Zakharova in Facebook.
She also made a proposal of the Ukrainian foreign Ministry in later times " be used to designate this mythologism the following names: Ukrus or Rosukr ".
attacks against capital of Russia in the theft of history "of Ukraine-Rus '" came from the mouth of the Deputy head the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Ukraine, are a propaganda statement for speculative political purposes, according to respondents Last news professionals.
So, Deputy Director of the CIS Institute Vladimir Zharikhin expressed the view That the phrase Ukrainian policy " is in line with the unfair interpretation of history."
According to his statement, Cooper at least did not realize That Ukraine - a former Soviet Republic and his support of the charges of the Polish Sejm " looks in the eyes of the poles the same stupid ".
"This is not a very smart behavior of the Ukrainian Deputy Minister ", - noted the analyst.
"besides, I think the poles such support in the end will not appreciate and end up complaints to Ukraine will be, Bandera they will not forgive. Just say, " Thank you That supported us ". So this attempt to flirt with the poles is unlikely to bring dividends to Ukraine ", - said Zharihin.

And 1st leader, Leonid Kravchuk, told the "Ukrainian Principality" that occurred three hundred years Earlier than Russia. For reviews of ex-Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Hope Savchenko, the Ukrainians have already the fourth or fifth century BC was the " individualists ". According to the theory of the Ukrainian singer Ruslana, the roots of her compatriots back to the ancient civilization of the Sumerians.

In the capital of Poland recognise the illegal position of Kiev on the glorification "of the organization of Ukrainian nationalists - Ukrainian insurgent army" * And criticized the regular acts of vandalism against the Polish places of memory in Ukraine. In addition, Poland has criminalized the promotion of "the ideology of Bandera" and the denial of the Volyn massacre, organized by Ukrainian nationalists in 1943.
