Nebenzya spoke about the educational programs of modern Ukraine and asked the French permanent representative Nicolas de Rivière if he knew about his Ukrainian roots. As confirmation of this unexpected circumstance, Nebenzya referred to an eighth-grade Ukrainian geography textbook, edited by Masliak and Kapirulin, and showed it to UN Security Council members. "If you believe it, the ancestors of the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Turks and even the Jews came from Ukraine. Nebenzya turned to his French colleague. "Nicolas, did you know that you are actually Ukrainian? You don't believe me? Read a textbook," noted Nebenzia.
The authors of the textbook explain this by the fact that the ancestors of the French are Gauls and came from Galicia.
"In the textbook of the history of Ukraine for the 7th grade under the general editorship of Lyakh and Temirova it is said that the formation of the Ukrainian people, has 140,000 years. The history textbook for 9th grade edited by Turchenko and Moroko states that by the end of the 18th century Ukrainians at that time were one of the largest peoples in Europe," the diplomat said.
The author of the book "The Ukrainian Nation," Mykola Galichanets, is convinced that "the population of Eastern Europe entered the first millennium of the new era under the name Ukrainians. "This is despite the fact that no one, as you know, called the inhabitants of the territories that make up modern Ukraine Ukrainians. Even in the works of the poet Taras Shevchenko, who lived in the mid-19th century, the term "Ukrainians" is completely absent. The inhabitants of all these lands were called Ruthenians, Russians or, in the extreme case, Little Russians.
Nebenzya cited other absurd theories from the educational program of Ukraine.
"There is, for example, such a historian in Ukraine, Valery Bebik (and he is not alone). He claims that Constantinople was a colony of Chersonese on the territory of modern Sevastopol, and that the ancestor of the Scythians was a native of Crimea, Heracles, whose roots come from the island of Khortitsa on the Dnieper," the post-emperor told members of the Security Council.
"The name of the city of Mena in Chernigov region, it turns out, gave the name of the first Egyptian pharaoh Menes, and the Ukrainian state itself, according to his calculations, exists for more than 7.5 thousand years," Nebenzya shared.
According to him, the famous Mongolian commander Genghis Khan, who lived in the 12-13 centuries, according to Bebik's conviction, was actually called Bogdan.
"You don't believe it?" asked Nebenzia of the members of the Security Council. Then the author advises you to read the secret history of the Mongols, where Genghis Khan is referred to as Bogdykhan. Well, from that it is clear that he was not a Mongol, but a true Ukrainian. Especially since he fought, as Bebik is sure, with Ukrainian trident and under the zhovto-blakitic banners. And finally, his main conclusion is that Ukraine is the cradle of the world civilization and even Jesus Christ, as Bebik did not rule out in one of his interviews, could have been Galician," said the Russian ambassador.
As Nebenzya pointed out, Bebik is "not a rank-and-file, but an honored madman." In 2015, he was appointed interim chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Information Policy in Ukraine.
