Kurgan governor considers imitation of Western culture the cause of depression and suicide

The governor of the Kurgan region, Vadim Shumkov, reproached the youth for imitating the “descendants of African-American slaves” and underestimating the importance of the “native national” culture. He believes this is the reason for the increase in depression and suicide. The head of the region wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

According to the governor, the underestimation of the national culture “turns into the fact that many of our children, grandchildren of the victorious people are already growing up, not knowing and not remembering their kind-tribe, singing songs written by the descendants of African-American slaves.” “Hence the growth of frank spiritual emptiness, depression, suicide. Lack of meaning in life,” says Mr. Shumkov.

With the help of biblical allusions, the governor hints that it was “neglect of native culture and commonality with national traditions related to you” that led to the current foreign policy situation today. “In our time, it’s like the biblical Cain and Abel are again going brother against brother, hiding behind foreign “well-wishers”, for whom they are “white Papuans”, an ordinary expendable material …,” he wrote.

“Now there are no tasks in the field of national culture more important than instilling love for one’s roots, for the memory of our ancestors, their glorious and kind history, their heroic past,” Mr. Shumkov believes.
