There will be a new cult: how the celebration of May 9 in Russia will change

May 9th is approaching – ” Victory Day” for Russians. If earlier Russia glorified the “greatness of the victory” of the USSR, now the emphasis of the celebration will change.

Ukrainian journalist, media manager, deputy general director of the ATR TV channel said 24 Channel that now Russians will have a cult of new “heroes” of the country. The greatest pressure will be placed on Russian youth.

New cult

According to Mudzhabayev, the emphasis will be shifted from the “great patriotic war,” as the Russians say, specifically to the war against Ukraine.

They will create a new cult of SVO veterans who are rapists, murderers and terrorists. They like to create idols for young people out of these,” noted the Ukrainian journalist.

The greatest pressure, according to Mudzhabayev, will be on schools and universities. We will see videos of Russians about honoring veterans of the so-called “SVO”. The Russian military will talk about their “exploits”, talk about how important it is to go to war and kill Ukrainians.

Now is no longer the time for such abstract appeals to grandfathers. Here the great-great-grandchildren have grown up, they kill and are proud of it. There was a cult of the murdered, but this will be a cult of murderers,” the Ukrainian journalist emphasized.
