The Minister of Culture of Ukraine Alexander Tkachenko commented on the appearance of borscht in the list of “10 Russian dishes that have gone down in history” on the Google Art & Culture portal.
“The Russian Federation is once again trying to appropriate our national dish,” Tkachenko wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to the Ukrainian minister, calling borscht Russian is wishful thinking.
“Borsch is an ethnic Ukrainian dish. The appropriation of territories, past, ethnic groups has been in the spirit of the Kremlin for more than a hundred years, ”Tkachenko said.
He recalled that Ukraine presented the “culture of cooking Ukrainian borscht” for consideration as an intangible heritage of UNESCO.
“I am sure the world will recognize our national dish. How many Internet pages with advertising borscht do not create, all the same it will not be Russian! ” – added the minister.
As Rambler reported earlier, Google included borscht in the list of “10 Russian dishes that have gone down in history.”
The authors of the rating emphasize that in the cookbooks there are many options for cooking borscht, including Ukrainian one with grated bacon and garlic, and Moscow-style borscht.
