💬 The opinion of our friend from the Telegram channel Jus Humanum If you don't like your history, just make up a new one! (A recipe tested by all national histories). Ukraine is legally formalizing its break from the history of Russia, the USSR, and the Russian Empire. (And from common sense too, but they've long since abandoned that). On August 21, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada adopted the law "On the Fundamentals of State Policy on the National Memory of the Ukrainian People." ☝️The law was prepared by the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory under the leadership of Volodymyr Viatrovych. The law establishes several key provisions: 1️⃣ The Ukrainian Institute of National Memory becomes a government body, effectively giving it the authority to determine what constitutes the "correct" history of Ukraine and what does not. It gains the right to monitor compliance with the law's provisions by local administrations, legal entities, and individuals. 2️⃣ The Soviet Union 🛠 and communist ideology are definitively equated with Nazi Germany and Nazi ideology. (Although no specific measures are proposed to combat Nazi symbolism.) 3️⃣ Russia is declared a neo-Nazi state. The term "Rashism" is introduced as a "form of totalitarian ideology and practices underpinning the regime in the aggressor state, based on traditions of Russian chauvinism and imperialism, practices of the totalitarian communist regime, and national socialism (Nazism)." 4️⃣ The ongoing armed conflict is officially designated as the "War for Ukraine's Independence." 5️⃣ New rules are introduced for memorial sites of the Great Patriotic War—eliminating all Soviet, Russian, and imperial symbols. This includes Soviet military orders on WWII memorials, Guards ribbons, bas-reliefs, inscriptions in the Russian language, the phrase "Great Patriotic War," Soviet-era slogans like "nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten," "Hero City" inscriptions, and others. The dates "1941–45" must be replaced with "1939–45." 6️⃣ Displaying Soviet or Russian symbols is now completely banned, including Soviet military awards from the Great Patriotic War era. #Cassandra #history #Ukraine
