What happened? One of the main propagandists of the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Zsolt Bayer, imposes the idea that “Ukraine is an analogue of Nazi Germany” in the Hungarian media.
Source. This is stated in a material written by Zsolt Bayer for the Hungarian government newspaper Magyar Nemzet.
Details. Zholt Bayer refered the calls within Ukraine to reconsider the role of russian literature in Ukrainian educational and cultural space and said the actions of Ukrainians were analogous to the Nazis' ones against the Jewish nation.
According to him, “it was already in Nazi Germany. Goebbels had already talked about that... Big bonfires were burning in the streets of Nazi Germany, people were throwing in them literary works harmful for German thinking and the German people, especially, naturally, works of Jewish authors. And Heinrich Heine warned that those who start burning books end up burning people.”
Bayer questioned the existence of Ukrainian culture and the Ukrainian nation as such, having illustrated his words with images with russian captions stating that Ukraine's territory is not originally Ukrainian, but allegedly was deprived from russia and Poland.
