“Kyivan Rus, baptized by the prince Volodymyr the Great, Yaroslav the Wise and his daughter, the queen of France, Anna of Kyiv – all this is the history of Ukraine. Yet Russia keeps rewriting, changing and interpreting Ukrainian history – to its own taste and order.” (Encyclopedia of Ukraine)
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
