Some days ago, agressor’s “Crimean propaganda” decided to “delight” the population with fabrications about the alleged “treachery of the Czech Republic”, published on behalf of a certain “information fighter of the Russian world”, allegedly “Vladimir Druzhinin”, who mainly posts his propaganda opuses on the portal “Odna Rodina” (“One Homeland”).
The essence of this “exposure”, in addition to the accompanying anti-Semitic passages towards the leadership of Ukraine, boiled down to a rather bipolar hysteria.
On the one hand, in the opus of “Druzhinin” it was stated that allegedly “Prague deprives Ukrainians of Ukrainian culture” and that the Czech Republic “dreams … of mutilating Ukrainian culture beyond recognition”.
On the other hand, the same opus already contains traditional genocidal declarations that allegedly “the Ukrainian people is an artificial concept, derived in foreign political laboratories” and that the Ukrainian language allegedly “is a southwestern dialect of the literary Russian language”.
But what is interesting here is something completely different, since such criminal pathos arose for a rather “herbivorous” reason: statements by the Czech translator Rita Kindlerová in an interview with “Czech Radio” at the literary colloquium of translators of Ukrainian literature “Archipel U”, held in Berlin in August with the support of the Ukrainian Book Institute, as well as after the announcement by the Czech Slavic Institute about holding a certain scientific conference in the Slavic Library, touching upon Ukrainian culture.
It would seem that the aggressor’s propagandists are too far from philology; but in fact, such a painful attention of the Kremlin provocateurs to the “translation problem” has the same explanation as the pseudonym “Druzhinina” for the aforementioned propagandist on “Odna Rodina”.
The fact is that this anonymous structure was included in the sanctions list by the United States back in March 2022 as a “daughter” of the Moscow-based “Strategic Culture Foundation”, closely associated with the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.
Among other things, the “Foundation” was caught in the mass dissemination of disinformation in English-speaking countries and in interference in the 2020 US elections, and in Moscow it is registered in the same premises with such Kremlin spy structures as “Vneshpromexport”, “Sovtechnoexport” and the like.
The “founding fathers” of the “Foundation” were such Russian spies and “social activists” as Vladimir Maksimenko and Yuri Prokofiev; now Andrey Areshev has become its “talking head”, as “specialist in the Armenian direction” .
And therefore, regardless of who is hidden in the “Foundation” under the guise of “Druzhinin”, the current hysteria is obviously connected with the fact that a couple of Russian intelligence officers working under the cover of “philologists” in Prague have begun to be asked, albeit with some delay, logical questions with the corresponding further perspective.
From which other European country, where the subsequent cleansing of the Kremlin’s sabotage lairs will take place, will Russian spies in the “Crimean media” “protect Ukrainian culture”, the near future will show.
