"The Stalinist regime is co-responsible for the Holocaust" Interview on Suspilne Kultura

In the edition of the program "Cultural Instinct" on the Public Television (Suspilne Kultura), Dr. Anatolii Podolskyi, Director of the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies, gave an interview to the journalist and TV presenter Sofia Chelyak. It was about the problems of falsification, the use of the historical past for anti-Ukrainian political goals by our enemy, russia, during the modern war. The range of questions during the interview was quite broad and touched on the problem of the origins of anti-Semitism, why the Stalinist regime was co-responsible for the Holocaust and how russian propaganda instrumentalizes the history of the Jews of Ukraine today.

During the interview, Anatolii Podolskyi drew attention to the fact that the fates of Ukrainians and Jews during the communist dictatorship in the last century were similar, both nations were stateless and suffered during Stalinism and the Second World War. Speaking about today's radical Ukrainophobia of the criminal russian putin regime, the scientist drew historical parallels with the policy of state anti-Semitism in the times of Nazi Germany. In general, the interview emphasized that xenophobia and discrimination were absolutely inherent in all totalitarian regimes of the last century. A. Podolsky noted: "the current Putin regime in russia absorbs the worst anti-human features of both Stalinism and Hitlerism"
