SYDIR KOVPAK - A SYMBOL OF THE UKRAINIAN RESISTANCE MOVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II
Here People's Deputy of Ukraine 8-th convocation Andriy Lozovyi calls for the removal of the memorial plaque to one of the leaders of the Ukrainian resistance movement in World War II, Sydir Kovpak, located on the house where he lived in central Kyiv, and thus to renounce the Ukrainian partisan movement of which he is a symbol!
I will not retell Kovpak’s biography — it is known and available to every Ukrainian. I only want to note that Sydir Artemovych is one of the symbols of the Ukrainian people's struggle against the German occupiers during World War II and of Soviet Ukraine, in which, among other people, the wonderful Oksana and Serhiy Lozovi — the parents of my former colleague who is calling for the removal of the above-mentioned memorial plaque — were born, grew up, and came of age.
By renouncing Kovpak, Lozovyi and his few like-minded followers propose siding with the German occupiers and their collaborators, the police, with Reichskommissar of Ukraine Erich Koch, who destroyed Ukrainians on the basis of nationality — both Soviet partisans and Ukrainian nationalists and ordinary civilian Ukrainian people. As Erich Koch said: "We need to extract everything from this country to the last... We must realize that the smallest German worker is racially and biologically a thousand times superior to the local population."
Lozovyi and his kind of 'hunweibin' are forcibly coercing Ukrainians to renounce the Soviet period of our history, in which their grandfathers and grandmothers, their parents, were born and lived — the period in which the native Muscovite, his grandfather the Russian poet, composer, member of the Union of Writers of Russia Valeriy Lozovyi (pseudonym Vissarion Klubnyka), lived and created, whose Russian songs were performed by pop stars all over the Soviet Union.
Lozovyi and company, having declared war on Kovpak, seek to destroy our historical past, our memory — in other words, our true Ukrainian roots.
Our Ukrainian history is complex and multifaceted, and it must certainly have room for both Roman Shukhevych and Sydir Kovpak.
Attempting to erase either of them is a straight path to civil war, to death, to the destruction of Ukraine.
That is precisely why I propose introducing a moratorium of 25 years on public discussions and decision-making regarding language, faith, and history, because these matters should be handled by philologists, clergymen, and professional historians, not by every kind of Lozovyi.
Only such steps can stop Ukraine from falling into the abyss of civil war, into which foreign interested parties are pushing us by means of people like those Lozovyi figures.
In the name of God and the Fatherland!👊🇺🇦
