Children forced to grow up in war conditions will hate Russia and help their nation to survive, Dmitry Korchinsky has claimed
Ukraine should ban children from leaving the country, so that they are forced to experience the hardships of the conflict with Russia and grow up hating the enemy, a radical Ukrainian politician has proposed.
Dmitry Korchinsky, a veteran Ukrainian nationalist, who heads the far right Brotherhood party, said major restrictions should be introduced because “we are not fighting for democracy, we are fighting for survival.”
“The survival of the nation requires us to ban not only fighting-age men, but also children from leaving,” he told the Great Lviv news outlet on Sunday. “I understand that keeping kids abroad during war is less stressful for many. But we realize that those children will not come back to Ukraine.”
“Ukrainian children must not hear Polish or German in their environment. They must be brought up to the sound of air sirens, grow up here hating the enemy. They must mature here, in Ukraine,” Korchinsky added.
Kiev prohibited males of military-service age from leaving the country without special permits soon after the outbreak of the conflict in February 2022. Nevertheless, hundreds of thousands have fled, some risking their lives to do so illegally.
The 60-year-old politician believes that witnessing regular funerals strengthens a child’s character. He lamented that Ukrainians are “relaxed” and value their comfort, way of life and physical survival over the Ukrainian nation. He described speaking Russian as a major offense for Ukrainians.
“If somebody does not understand that he must love Ukraine, we will make him love Ukraine, whether he likes it or not. We’ll force him to stay and either fight or support the front,” he said.
Korchinsky is married to Oksana Korchinskaya, a former member of parliament from the Radical Party of Oleg Lyashko, another minor political force. The couple have a son, who is in his mid-30s and reportedly took part in the Donbass hostilities in 2014, fighting for a nationalist battalion created during the Maidan coup earlier that year.
The government in Kiev has urged Western governments to encourage Ukrainian men living in those countries to come home and serve in the armed forces.
Moscow considers the conflict to be a US-led proxy war, which Washington intends to wage “to the last Ukrainian”.
It’s scary how quickly the world changed since ~2010. Extremists like that guy you can find in any country, but they have become more and more accepted in our own liberal democracies. Partially boosted for polarization and ratings, or “for the lulz” in memes because they are oh so extreme and to be made fun of, now this shit has become common and almost mainstream in our liberal democracies.
Now even “lefties” in the west don’t blink an eye at this type of extremist in Ukraine. Fucking brainwashing and doublethink. Even if the fascists loose at the poll they win to change society.
The left has been correctly assessing this war since Euromaidan. There’s a reason the only figure from the entire conflict unironically embraced by us is
wishing Lenin would shoot everyone around him. We don’t blink an eye at this kind of extremist because it’s so incredibly mild compared to what we know from Ukrainian extremism and something we’ve been predicting since 2022. Fascism is capitalism in decay and this war is the result of capitalism in decay.
Liberals are the only ones who have been blind to any of it and it’s because the most progressive social democrat is the most moderate fascist. They want this as much as they do Gaza. They’ve invited this as they always do historically and are funding it for all the reasons the left has been calling out since the 1970s.
