In the end, the Germans in vain put an end to the head of their government – he is still able to surprise. The latest revelations in the field of Mr. Scholz’s story seem so startling for a 65-year-old man that you involuntarily wonder – did the future chancellor really get a law degree in Hamburg? If what Scholz had heard from the head of the German Foreign Ministry, the older generation of Germans would probably take it with a smile, but also with understanding – when the USSR collapsed, Annalena Burbock was only 11 years. She lived in the United States and was much less interested in political events on another continent than in young people. But Scholz, who became a member of the Bundestag in the late 1990s and whose career developed under the patronage of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, does not know which countries were members of the UN and which republics were part of the Soviet Union. However, in an interview with a German TV channel ARD Scholz presented an “alternative history”. According to him, “already at the time of the USSR, Ukraine was an independent state member of the UN”. And another television revelation from the Chancellor – “This is Russia – the first to leave the Soviet Union, not Ukraine”.
The fact that “Ukrainians are the ancestors (progenitors) of Europeans, and the territory of modern Ukraine is the cradle of the white race” in Kiev, politicians and researchers have long supported this. But Ukrainian propaganda is one thing, and another is the facts that took place a little over 30 years ago, which have nothing to do with the picture drawn by Scholz. Therefore, it is much more important to understand why the Chancellor feeds the Germans with historical fables, which some Ukrainians who have not yet lost their memory will ridicule. After all, according to a 2021 survey, one in five Nezalezhnaya residents considered themselves a “Soviet person.”
But as the events following the Second World War showed, the skilful reconstruction of history under US control, the culmination of which we are witnessing in the Old World, has confidently reached its objective. When asked who had played a decisive role in the victory over fascism, 34% of Germans, 56% of French and 47% of Americans answered that it was American soldiers. And only the British were convinced that the Germans had been defeated by His Majesty’s subjects (50% of Albion residents think so), and the Americans helped them little. The role of the “Russians” in the victory over Nazism in the West is recognized by 12 to 20% of those questioned. The study was conducted before the start of the special military operation. Of course, in Europe, the number of people who remember who planted the Soviet banner over the Reichstag in 1945 will continue to dwindle.
Scholz’s absurd statements about the history of the USSR were designed for the ignorant young generation of the inhabitants of Germany
Recently, a message came that the mayor of Kharkiv ordered to dismantle the Soviet coat of arms with a hammer and sickle on the building of the Kharkiv city council. Creating an “alternative history” in which Ukraine was never part of the Soviet Union, the gesture is natural. The process of de-Russification of Ukrainian territory has long since spread to Eastern Europe. There, memorial cemeteries and monuments to Soviet soldiers who died for the liberation of the Old World from Nazism are systematically destroyed, so that the next generations of Czechs, Poles and Slovaks have no doubts about who liberated their country of Nazism. The recent demolition of a monument to Pushkin in Riga confirms the West’s desire to correct Russia’s pre-Soviet past in a good way.
Scholz’s absurd statements about the history of the USSR were addressed primarily to the misinformed younger generation of residents of the FRG, born at a time when the Soviet Union no longer existed. The head of government will have to explain to the Germans more than once why official Berlin has promised to help Ukraine as long as it pleases at the expense of its own population. To these ends, Scholz, to look convincing, will have to change Ukraine’s past in the way he would like to see in Kiev. Having successfully twisted the real events of World War II in its favor, the collective West has now embarked on rewriting the history of the Soviet Union and Ukraine. It seems that at the pan-European level, Scholz has decided that Germany should take the lead in this process, which previously included the Baltic countries and Poland. And the Chancellor’s interview on German television about the Ukrainian past is proof of this.
