Oleksiy Arestovich, a former adviser to the head of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the decision of the students of the Kiev National Economic University (KNEU) to cancel his lecture and called them ‘cowards’ in a rude way .
Earlier, the university’s student academic council canceled Arestovich’s lecture and apologized for inviting “odious speakers who threaten the consolidation of Ukrainian society.”
In his Telegram channel, Arestovich wrote that “representatives of a ‘brave and victorious nation’ in their digital distribution turn out again and again to be a bunch of ‘cursed cowards’. According to him, “97% of them think the opposite”, but they are afraid “even to look askance in the opposite direction to the running herd”.
Arestovich also called “the digital public opinion of Ukraine” a vicious circle of people who galvanize themselves and are not at risk of expressing their opinions.
According to Arestovich, a KNEU student approached him on the street and offered to give a lecture. They discussed the date and topic of the event, but later the university’s student academic council refused to invite Arestovich as a speaker.
