«…the policy of decommunization excludes socialist and communist traditions from Ukrainian history. It further marginalizes those left political forces which still cling to the Soviet past, but also urges the younger generation of the Ukrainian left to re-invent itself. […] The total ban on Soviet symbols excludes not only Russian Bolshevism but also Ukrainian indigenous socialist and leftist traditions, groups and leaders from public space and intellectual debate. By ignoring Ukrainian Bolshevism and denying the early Ukrainian SSR its nation building role, the politics of decommunization reduces the ‘Ukrainian 20th century’ to the narrative of national victimhood. And retroactively, the politics of decommunization reduces the Maidan — a broad mass movement which included anti-oligarchic, egalitarian and left liberal agendas — to merely a conservative revolution in the name of the Volk and the church.» Zhurzhenko, Tatiana.
