Chairman of Russia’s State Duma names “Ukraine’s most despicable act”

19 FEBRUARY 2023

Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the Russian Federation’s State Duma [the lower chamber of the Russian parliament], has taken offence at Ukraine’s plans to cancel the celebration of Victory Day on 9 May. 

Source: Volodin on Telegram

Details: Volodin started listing that Ukraine supposedly “banned speaking Russian, demolished monuments to those who saved the country from fascists, and divided the Russian Orthodox Church”.

Quote from Volodin: “They did not stop there. Started destroying their own culture, which cannot be divided into Russian and Ukrainian – it is shared, just like faith.

After excluding our classic authors from school programs, they began renaming streets and cities.

Today, they are planning to cancel the Day of Victory – 9 May. The most despicable act.

The memory of the victory unites the people of our countries. This haunts the current Kyiv regime led by Zelenskyy. 

It [the regime – ed.] committed a lot of crimes, but cancelling the Day of Victory is the most despicable act regarding those who gave their lives to liberate the world from nazism.”

Background: A bill is registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine that offers to cancel 8 March (Women’s Day), 1 May (Worker’s Day) and 9 May, introducing three new holidays instead.

  1. “It [the regime – ed.] committed a lot of crimes, but cancelling the Day of Victory is the most despicable act regarding those who gave their lives to liberate the world from nazism.”

    The world is in agreement that it is mafia land who is committing crimes in this war, and this massively. Reversing the culprit/victim role is standard mafia methodology, and it only works with perfect buffoons. And, the world was liberated only of German Nazis. Unfortunately, we now have ruskie Nazis to deal with.
    At any rate, Ukraine will soon celebrate an even more important date; the day of victory over mafia land.

    • “They did not stop there. Started destroying their own culture, which cannot be divided into Russian and Ukrainian”

      Says the desperate Moscow Misfit that represents a nation with no redeeming history whatsoever. Yeah they put up a fight at Leningrad and provided some ground troops toward the end of WWII…but…their pact with Hitler sparked the damn thing to begin with. They continue to try to steal Ukrainian history and they continue to fail.
      Besides that, absolutely nobody is interested in Russian victories since they invaded Ukraine last year. Any notion of Russian victims has now been erased by their habitual tyranny and aggression.

      • Indeed, there are no ruskie victims. Every sane person is happy to see their death-rates rise. This is a normal way to feel about wickedness.

  2. Freedom means celebrating the things you feel like celebrating.

    Who is Volodin to say what Ukranians should value? He is just a vulture parroting a dictator so as to stay on the payroll.

    I’d say rather God has afforded humans far more choice than Putin ever would.

    You can laugh but I really thought Gorbachov was setting up Russia to be a modern country. While he seeking investment Fortune 500 executives back in 1990 his wife, Raisa, had lunch with just a normal local family and then made an impromptu stop at a drugstore to ask about working conditions, maternity leave, and differences in quality between similar products.

    It’s too bad democracy didn’t work because real voters often think about the economy, and make that a priority because it affects them personally on a daily basis.

    • It’s no laughing matter, Honestly. The entire globe probably thought the same thing. The problem is, the ruskies are abnormal. They enjoy being abused, underdeveloped primates too much. Democracy is completely foreign to them.
