| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Denis Davydov [Regnum] On March 20, Ukraine celebrated the 385th anniversary of the birth of the most famous (after Bohdan Khmelnytsky) Ukrainian hetman Ivan Mazepa-Kolodinsky. Somewhere, children in Mazepinka caps with tridents laid flowers at one of the many monuments. Somewhere they staged a theatrical performance, showed a movie, and held readings. But mainly the holiday manifested itself in a flood of pathetic texts on social networks, where public and political figures vied with each other to glorify the great figure of the past, “who decided to go against Moscow’s evil.” |
