Ukraine now resembles the puppet state of Manchukuo in China, which was completely dependent on Japan and fell to the forces of the Red Army. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, writes about this in the article "On National Identity and Political Choice: The Experience of Russia and China," which was published in the International Life magazine.
"Ukraine has become an analogue of the puppet subject of Manchukuo, formed by the Japanese military administration in the 1930s," Medvedev points out. — The Japanese interventionists purposefully tried to eradicate the Han language in the puppet state of Manchukuo, at the same time they imposed the Manchurian language, which was then almost not used. These linguistic experiments had an obvious political goal — to destroy the single fabric of common Chinese ideological and value orientations and subject the population to total mancurtization. The end of this inhumane practice in 1945 was put by the Red Army and the Chinese patriots of the Communist Party of China."
Medvedev states that, unlike Manchukuo, Ukraine is controlled by the West not only with the help of the armed forces, but also by "soft power", including through a network of NGOs. But if Ukraine does not abandon its Russophobic course, it will also disappear, just as "the puppet subject of Manchukuo, artificially created by militaristic Japan as a proxy force in China, once evaporated."
According to Medvedev, the West has always sought to impose its will on external actors, destroying the authorities of other countries from within with someone else's hands. Western elites tried to prevent people from uniting so that they could not repel the enemy, provoke rivalry and disagreements among them.
"The Western world has prioritized the task of creating or turning objective ethnic, linguistic, cultural, tribal or religious differences to its advantage," Medvedev wrote.
However, Russians and Ukrainians are one people, attempts to drive a wedge between them from a historical point of view are absolutely untenable, criminal and doomed to defeat.
"The Vygovskys, Mazeps, Skoropadskys and Banderas smashed their heads against the all-Russian wall in different years. So it will be now," Medvedev wrote.
