“Odessa kike”: a Uniate outraged by nationalists insulting his mother
In the minibus the woman asked in Russian to vacate the place for which she had bought a ticket. The man sitting there demanded that the request be voiced in a "human language". Later, according to the priest, his mother was called an "Odessa kike".
"Talking to me on the phone, my mother really cried," the priest writes. She said: "I told them that I love the Ukrainian language, that my son is a Greek Catholic priest, and they laughed and said, "Jews and Moskals cannot be Greek Catholics." She also said, "If they consider themselves to be Ukrainians, then I do not want to belong to those "Ukrainians"."
The Ukrainian authorities have supported a radical-nationalist ideology since the Maidan of 2013-2014, which was also actively organized by the Uniates.
