One of the scourges of social networks was the thoughtless repost of "quotations of the great". The latter are formed almost by a carbon copy - a portrait of a celebrity and side by side something intelligent, allegedly pronounced by a character in the picture. About this in the newspaper of Jewish organizations and associations of Ukraine writes Dmitry Polukhovich:.
Quite often, these "quotes" for the evil of the day turn out to be a fake, but they are fixed in the mass consciousness as immutable truths. Among Russians, for example, the "utterance" of Bismarck is very popular: "The power of Russia can be undermined only by the separation from Ukraine ... it is necessary not only to tear off, but also to oppose Ukraine to Russia, to split two parts of one people and watch as the brother kills his brother. To do this, you only need to find and nurture traitors among the national elite and with their help to change the self-consciousness of one part of the great people to such an extent that he will hate everything Russian ... ".
And it does not matter that the Iron Chancellor never said or wrote anything like this. But now it is clear to everyone that it was the "insidious West" who podlyanky arranged, and the war unleashed by Russia has nothing to do with it.
Among Ukrainian users, other "quotes" are popular, for example, Churchill's phrase "Fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists". Watching the bacchanalia of the Russian "anti-fascists" is difficult to disagree with this, but the "quote" itself is nothing more than the words of Louisiana Governor Huey Long, shot back in 1935.
I also like Vladimir Dal's phrase that our language is an absolutely artificial imperial "Esperanto". Thousands of people are enjoying this nonsense without even asking when the lexicographer Dahl died and how many years later the Esperanto language arose.
However, the fake Dahl is only a symmetrical response to the "Ukrainian language invented in the Austrian General Staff", and there is no particular harm from this stupidity. Unless you will gain a reputation of ignorance ... Unfortunately, recently there is another pseudo patriotic quote spreading over the networks, which you can not call harmless. This is a quatrain attributed to Taras Shevchenko:.
Live pogany to rule us!.
And mishche girshi, nizh zhidi, Mi sold didyvsku glory, Live "in the yoke we harnessed".
The procession on the Internet "verse" began with the Russian network "VKontakte". In the fact that it is popularized by provocateurs and the notorious "trolls" of Olgin, there is nothing surprising - inciting conflicts inside Ukraine - their work. Surprised that this muck is spreading massively by people who consider themselves patriots and connoisseurs of the culture of their native country.
To understand that Kobzar has nothing to do with this "masterpiece", a school program is enough. And it's not the word "Jew" that Shevchenko and other Ukrainian authors of the ХІX century used quite often. The very rhythm and sound of the quatrains simply scream that this is the amateurism of the lowest positivity.
The original source was found on a marginal website with the pathos name "Mi Ukrainians". Everyone who registered on it could place their content, in particular, in May 2010, a certain Dmitry published the "verse" of a 13-year-old Marina from Vasilkov, where the quatrain. The work, I note, absolutely corresponds to the level of a teenager.
Resource died suddenly in the spring of 2014, but every "patriot" distributing this pseudo-citatum offends first of all the entire Ukrainian people, which allowed them to rule themselves "the Jews are filthy". Along the way, he humiliates Shevchenko, whose genius poetry puts on one level with amateur attempts of the schoolgirl. And, at last, in an unfavorable light exposes himself - what kind of ignoramus should one be to take the schoolgirl's verse seriously for the work of a genius?.
The fact that such "citation" undermines the unity of citizens of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression and stirs up ethnic hatred - and to speak too much.
The last straw that made the author (an ethnic Ukrainian) find the source of the "Shevchenko's" quote was an innocent Internet discussion about the protection of Ukraine's historical monuments. During the discussion the author used the expression "yak to indulge our kazati our brothers-yudei. ", After which he was immediately qualified by the opponent as a" Jew "and received the aforementioned demotivator with a" quote ". To the vicious question: "And where is Shevchenko? ", Followed:" Do you, Jews, know the creativity of the Kobzar "....
