Honored Artist of Ukraine, theater and film actress Irma Vitovska is convinced that Russia has been zombifying people long before the invasion of Ukraine. Many years ago, she began to notice how the Kremlin was creating inferior images of Ukrainians in movies, imposing propaganda narratives on viewers.
That's why the star avoided projects related to history, ideology, and power structures. She spoke about this in an interview with the Mezha channel.
The actress shared that she often raised historical topics with her Russian colleagues and noticed that it was difficult and unpleasant for Russian citizens to learn about their true past, because it went against what the authorities dictated to them.
"I have never filmed, seeing how they started propaganda after the Orange Revolution. They were sharpening propaganda where Ukrainians were made to look inferior," the celebrity explained.
She added that Russian producers added "bad" Ukrainians even to movies that were not supposed to be filmed in Ukraine. According to Irma Vitovska, this was done to impose on Russians the image of a Ukrainian as part of an "unhealthy, treacherous and hateful" nation.
"They are beginning to create a Ukrainian for Russians, for their own, as a figure of a bad, unhealthy, treacherous nation that hates us. Everything that they are suffering from now on a massive scale was starting to work on the population in a dosed way back then. As a person who saw it, I realized that after Georgia, we would be next," the actress recalled.
Earlier, Irma Vitovska spoke about the discrimination against Ukrainian actors in Ukraine after 2014. The actress spoke out sharply about the idea of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. She considers this topic very complicated and has no definite opinion.
Earlier, OBOZ.UA wrote that Irma Vitovska for the first time told how she spied on the Maidan, swore at the Verkhovna Rada and received threats.
