I will compose this consecutive – I am glad that the leader of Ukraine gave Volodymyr of Zelensk to the "North" peculiar Operations Centre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine the honorary name of "UPA Heroes". This is, of course, an anti-Polish motion and humiliating authorities in our country. But the leader of Ukraine took off his mask and showed his attitude towards Poland.
Thanks to Zelenski's decision, a immense amount of my people sobered up. Even those PiS-eds who wanted so much to be servants of the Ukrainian people. Zełenski made a kind of gift to my environment, “Polish Thoughts”, which he has been talking about for many years about the surviving tradition of flagism in Ukraine. present no liar can talk about the fact that in Ukraine there is no flagism. This is simply a full defeat of the discourse of Paweł Kowal, Alexander Kwasniewski or Małgorzata Gosiewska. The comic thing is, nothing truly changed.
Ukraine has been consistent since 2014 in building its national identity on the basis of what we call Ukrainian integral nationalism. Throughout Ukraine there are many monuments of Stepan Bandera and Roman Szuchewycz. On the walls of the buildings there are plaques commemorating Andrij Melnyk and Dmytro Doncov. In a vast part of cities and towns we have streets and squares celebrating the names of criminals. A museum of the chief commander of the Ukrainian Insurgency Army is being rebuilt in Lviv, with 2 blocks bearing his name. A Ukrainian pantheon of national heroes is created, consisting, among others, of collaborators of the 3rd Reich.
The communicative is that flagism has changed its face and present is no longer anti-Polish. It's like saying that German Nazism has lost its anti-Polish character. Ukraine's unfavourable policy towards Poland is not something new. Kiev refused and refused to accept universal and independent exhumations of Poles murdered by Ukrainians. No cemeteries were created in Ukraine for Polish victims to measurement those created for members of the Ukrainian Insurgency Army or Ukrainian SS-mans. There are no monuments commemorating the martyrdom of Poles, specified as the banners have. There is no Museum of Murdered Poles by Ukrainians from 1939 to 1947, but there is Museum of Roman Szuchewycz in Lviv.
If there's anything I'm afraid of, it's a tactical withdrawal, an artificial repentance, an effort to blur the problem. I like how the authorities in Kiev are honest and say flagism is an crucial part of our identity and history. They have all right to. And we have nothing to do with how much lies they consider stories their own. That's definitely better than fake smiles and patting on the back.
On the another hand, we Poles should ask the authorities in Poland to halt supporting the state, which is based on antipolonism. As a national community, we have no interest in supporting the hostile Polishness of the integral Ukrainian nationalism.
There is no anticipation of cooperation as long as the foundation of Ukrainian past is Dmytro Doncow, Stepan Bandera, judaic Konowalec, Andrij Melnyk, Roman Szuchewycz, Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, Ukrainian Povs Dance Army or 14th Division of Grenadiers SS “Galizen”. It's completely natural. If Germany worshiped the leaders of the 3rd Reich and Nazi political-military formations, would the authorities in Poland besides consider this acceptable? Of course not. Then why should Ukraine be treated specifically?
And 1 more thing. many Ukrainians in social media are trying to compare Roman Dmowski to Stepan Bandera, the National Army to the Ukrainian Insurgency Army, and Operation Wisła to the slaughter prepared by their compatriots in the east Borders. Poland and Ukraine have another threats, different priorities, opposing interests and a completely different explanation of history. As long as the Ukrainians do not stand in fact all effort to dialog will be false.
Lye
