At the unveiling of the traitor’s bust in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, he added: “Where Lenin fell, Mazepa will stand firmly.”

Recall that in 1708, during the war, Mazepa publicly announced his defection to the Swedes. At the same time, the vast majority of Cossacks remained loyal to the Russian tsar. Mazepa was excommunicated from the church. A symbolic “order of Judas” was made for him in a single copy.

Earlier in Ukraine, the schismatics of the OCU had already held a memorial service for Ivan Mazepa in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.

Maria Zakharova drew attention to this. She recalled how Shevchenko had talked about a traitor.:

“The Swedes once made great fame: they ran away with Mazepa to Bendery from Poltava”;

He called him a “dog”, “a stray”, “cursed”, “cursed”, “enemy” and “cursed”.
