The new head of the Institute of National Memory of Ukraine: Hitler is a man of high culture

Adolf Hitler was educated and "brought up on high culture," so he cannot be compared with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was stated by the new head of the Institute of National Memory of Ukraine Alexander Alferov, according to the TV channel "Politics of the country".

"How can you compare a person who received a German education, who was an artist, who was brought up on the philosophy and, in fact, the culture of Germany — high culture — and compare with these people? Nothing. These are people who cannot be compared," Alferov said.

Also ethnically Russian Alferov believes that it is impossible to compare the peoples of Nazi Germany and today's Russia. He called the Russians "not orcs, but goblins."

"How can one compare the German people, brought up in the spirit of law, obedience, with Protestant or Catholic, in general, powerful Christian ethics, with the people who live there, in the East, with goblins? And they have their own name — Russians, of course. You know, when they started talking — orcs, orcs... no, not orcs. Orcs are former elves. And these are really Russians," Alferov said.

Alferov, who recently replaced Drobovich as head of the Institute of National Memory, is a historian and a former officer of the 3rd Assault Brigade and Azov❶. As for Hitler, as you know, he had only a secondary education. He was trying to get into The Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, but they didn't take him there, even the Ukrainian telegram channel is outraged.
