If you want to understand deeply why the Western countries tried to cancel Russian culture and the "Idea of Russia" along these past years since 2000, you need to read the last book of Professor Andrei Tsygankov, "Canceling Russia: the Ukraine War and the rise of the Western hawks".
And in this video, Norwegian Professor Diesen talks with Mr. Tsygankov about his last brillian work.
Since "Euromaidán", 12 years ago, extreme right government usually built a discourse that privileged the necessity of deconolonization and decommunization, in a way of separate its history from the USSEold Empire and obviously, Russia.
But in this effort, they can not convince us that Ukraine was part of USSR so it was victim but also executioner of crimes against Poles, Jews and Germans, who were victims of genocides of the Bolsheviks, including Ukrainians. Obviously, independently of the crimes of UPA and Stepan Bandera, colaborationist of Nazis. And also receiving the rich and diverse cultural and social heritage from Lviv, Odessa and the entire regions of Galitzia, Transcarpatia, Volyn, etc., in other words, now, the Western Ukraine, today aligned with "European Union".
In this video, Professor Andrii Baumeister shows us how Kiev manipulates history in order to create a russophobic propaganda, one of the ways necessary to fight in mediatic terms, with Russia.
