I do not think that without the consent of the inhabitants the city will be renamed
Without the consent of the inhabitants of the city should not be renamed, he said in a comment “GORDON” chairman of the Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine, member of the Supervisory Board of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union Iosif Zisels.
“I’m not sure that without the decision of the local community, you can rename the city. But you’ve seen over the last 23 years, at least one law, which is performed in its entirety, just as it was written? We live in a space where the laws are not in order to fulfill them. laws of the people do not obey the laws of the people do not respect the laws of the people do not follow. They use the laws to achieve some of their goals. I do not think there will be a city renamed without the consent of residents. This should be without hysterics, and in a peaceful discussion. I do not think that without a Announce the masses it can be done then we will get additional negative effects, which have enough “, -. Zissels said.
There is a clash of two civilizations, so think about what the consequences will ban communist symbols more correctly, he said.
“There’s a novel in which the hero is a young man seeking a countess, she was refused, he turns the whole world, conquering all of Europe, and when the Countess is ready him to give up, it turns out that it is – an elderly woman and he no longer needed so. . and with that we now live in a turbulent time, we have a war on, and not just between the separatists and the Ukrainians, but a war between two civilizations -. European and Eurasian It’s so powerful collision, what to think, what consequences will result in a ban of symbols, I it seems to be incorrect. I do not think th that it will lead to some serious consequences to the positive or to the negative “- Zissels said.
However, in his opinion, for many people, the victims of the regime, this decision will be important.
“I have not yet comprehended once the consequences of yesterday’s solutions. I dreamed about it many years ago, because he was a dissident and was imprisoned in Soviet times for political activities, but it’s been more than 20 years. Although many people for whom life was a struggle with the communist system, it is very important that finally at least the end of life to get satisfaction from the fact that these misanthropic ideology abolished and banned, “- said the expert.
The honey, he said, the current law many inaccuracies that should be corrected.
“East is bad knows what the UPA, and the West does not speak what the UPA. It was a long time ago. So many myths of positive and negative during the Soviet period was unwound. The very acronym UPA with a hyphen, which created the Soviet ideology, did not exist in nature . The law had a lot of confusion -. terminological, factual, grammatical Before this law was passed, I was just going to make corrections I have quite an old man, to know how to be called in reality there are mixed up the names of organizations…History is no such organization “OUN” Yes “OUN” one, is “OUN” Second, there is a “OUN” third -. There are three “OUN” – Zissels said.
“Live – see very little consequence were other laws, I think, will also be with these Someone uses them for next separatist sentiments, someone on the contrary uses the dominance of pro-European sentiment in the end still everything goes and vanishes… “- he concluded.
Recall, April 9, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law recognizing the communist regime 1917-1991 criminally and banning communist symbols.
The adopted law about the condemnation of the communist regime contained rule to rename the settlements, which are named in honor of the communist-era figures.
