He further expressed his opinion on the issue, what is the difference between Ukrainians and Russian, that is, to compare the “accident Ukrainians” with Russian. Bagirov said that the difference is, and it is today that the Russian General Vlasov considered a traitor and an accomplice of Nazi Germany, and the Ukrainians – Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych – “national heroes”, but all of these “heroes” who have shown themselves in the same as that Vlasov.

The writer explained that for him the word “crest” does not bear a negative meaning.

«This fraternal appeal, the more, anyway, Ukrainians – our brothers. We are one people “, – Bagirov said.

Head of the department of modern Russian Institute of Russian Language after VV Vinogradov RAS Leonid Krysin also explained that the word “toupee” – not an insult, unlike the word “nigger”. Earlier this word is often found in the literature, and only today it has acquired a disparaging sense.
