Oksana Zabuzko is simply a pet of the Warsaw and Kraków salon, it is the face of “Ukrainian literature” which is now intended to replace Russian literature, which is said to be not worth the trouble.
And what does that Zabużko say? We can read about this in the Saturday edition of “Gazeta Wyborcza” in a passage of her fresh book “The Longest Journey”, which has us, stupid and ignorant Poles, to show what Ukraine has been since Roman times. I'm overreacting? Here you go, let's quote:
‘A Ukraine has a history, that's the thing. It has something much more primal and meaningful that Russia does not have: the past of a nation that had not to be invented by the power of any czaric displays. Ukrainian autochthons since the dawn of past They settled lands “from Sanu to Don“ Almost Since Ancient Rome orali them with ploughs of their own structure (triangles, with a wheel and a buffer), all over the territory, they utilized 1 language and a 1000 years of it scratched graffiti at the Sofia Council choir in Kiev; This nation created its own version of east Christianity (the Kiev Law is simply a common origin for both Ukrainian Orthodox Church and Greek Catholic Church), State form – Cossack Republic’.
Russia was simply based on the “grey Ukrainian eminences” that carried her education and civilization cagans: “The Ukrainians stubbornly developed the “wind” of this imperium – taught to read and write, reformed the church, they established convents-school-universities (...) No. No. Little literate Peter I, Only Teofan Prokopovich, truly a prominent thinker of Ukrainian Baroque, was the author of the alleged reforms of Peter the Great, and not Catherine II, but her Chancellor Alexander Biezborodko, the boy of the last general author of Hetmanszczyzna, was an autor of her abroad policy, including victories over Turkey and partitions of PolandIt’s okay. ”
Ladies and gentlemen, all this nonsense that has been known so far from the stories of Ukrainian guides from Lviv, which is the subject of jokes and mockery, tells us on a tray a “writer” who has been fededed and promoted by “Gazeta Wyborcza” without any comment or explanation. This is how we learn how “Ukrainians” not only plowed the land already in Roman times, but besides created Russia, “Ukrainian Baroque” and... did the partition of Poland. I'm asking you, erstwhile will individual halt allowing this chauvinist madness?
