Mental provocation

(notes according to the motives of series of the publicistic articles by Y. Hutsala “Mentality of the horde”)

“Mentality of the horde”– is a great provocation. You read: Oh, my God, everything is true! But the true is given emotionally and one-sidedly. There is no even a hint on deep and detailed analysis! However, understanding the state of affairs of that time (the middle of the 90th), you admit that a different thing was impossible. Because it wouldn’t have been heard. Because the regular politically correct comparative analysis of mentality of Russians, Ukrainians and representatives of other nations would have been lost in thousand similar voices, dissolved in the chaos of idle talk.
