Is it true that Ukrainian school textbooks say that the Ukrainian language came from the planet of Venus?

In November, during a visit to the exhibition in the arena of Vladimir Putin, it was reported that Ukrainian school textbooks have a statement about the alien origin of the Ukrainian language - as if he had come from Venus. We decided to check if there is such a theory in textbooks.

November 4 to Vladimir Putin in the exhibition hall Manege showed Stand with excerpts from Ukrainian textbooks. The demonstration of the stand was accompanied by his comments by the chief editor of the Russia-My History project Alexander Myasnikov. On video, which was then distributed by the Zvezda channel, is completely given this fragment of the conversation. “These textbooks simply shocked me when I found out that the language is from Venus,” she shares the butchers with Putin. Putin grinned and asked: "Language from Venus?" Myasnikov confirmed: “Yes, language from Venus. I thought it was a joke. ” Later, this episode was retold by many publications, for example, "Independent newspaper" And "Gazeta.ru".

An excerpt from the Ukrainian book about the extraterrestrial origin of the Ukrainian language has been going on social networks for a long time. This fragment can be found in Livejournal, starting with 2003, he is repeated in the records from 2009 And 2016 years. Everywhere it is given in a constant form: “The basis of Sanskrit is some kind of mysterious Sansar language, listed on our planet from Venus. Is it not about the Ukrainian language? " Also mentioned and quote Ukrainian journalist Grigory Kvasnyuk: “Do you know that the Ukrainian language is brought from Venus? Not you know, no? From Venus! This was proved by Ukrainian scientists. And in the textbooks it is written about this. ” There is even videoWhere Kvasnyuk pronounces these words. However, if you study Biography Kvasnyuk and watch the video carefully, it is obvious that he did not defend this version, but mocked it.

At the exhibition, the operators did not show a close -up excerpt from the textbook, which allegedly spoke of the Ukrainian language and Venus. But this is not at all surprising: the request for this linguistic incident does not lead to Ukrainian school textbooks, but to one specific book called “Phenomenon of Ukraine”. It was written by a psychologist Alexei Bratko-Kutinsky, and from published his work in 1995, after the death of the author.

In this book It is told about the origin of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people and the language. It sets out a lot of amazing and completely anti -scientific theories: about the praquenic origin of Ukrainians and about the history of language, which has hundreds of thousands of years. Astrology in it is seen as an effective tool of scientific research, Ethnogenesis Mixed with Taoism. The author gives Theory On the presence of a power field, which makes Ukraine the center of the inhabited universe.

The book "Phenomenon of Ukraine" was reprinted several times, and it can buy In Ukrainian online stores. But it has never been a school textbook, and in existing manuals it was not possible to find quotes from it. Most likely, the statement “It is written about this in textbooks” belongs to the same Kvasnyuk.

A fragment quoted on blogs and retold to Vladimir Putin really is in the book. In the 2008 edition, it can find On the 65th page:

Translated into Russian, this means the following: “According to the data given in the ancient book“ Dzyan ”(that is,“ Knowledge ”), Sanskrit is based on a kind of mysterious Sansar language brought to our planet from Venus. Is it not about the Ukrainian language. But this is already from the field of mythology and science fiction. But the analysis of a living modern language gives completely real and not subject to doubt of knowledge. ”

Here it is unnecessary to comment on the authenticity of the book "Dzyan", which was first mentioned in 1888 in her work "Secret doctrine»Theosophist and occultist Elena Blavatsky, as well as consider the further linguistic theories of Bratko-Kutynsky. According to the above fragment, it is obvious that even the author of the anti -Scientific book does not consider the alien theory of the origin of the Ukrainian language seriously, emphasizing that it is "from the field of mythology and science fiction." And in blogs, a quote from the book is brought in a cut -out form. Thus, the phrase was given a type of statement, which it is not in the original. That is, the statement “Some scientists believe that Sanskrit came from the Ukrainian language” would be true as true as the statement “some Russian scientists believe that Yaroslav the Wise, Ivan Kalita and Khan Baty is the same person.” Namely Such a theory there is in popular, but False -scientific New Chronology Academician Anatoly Fomenko. But the presence of a serious “Venusian” theory, and even in Ukrainian textbooks, is nothing more than a fake.

Thus, in the dialogue between Putin and Myasnikov there are several false statements at once. Firstly, the phrase about the extraterrestrial origin of the Ukrainian language is taken not from the textbook, but from one specific book. Secondly, the phrase itself is cut and torn from the context, which changes its meaning to the opposite.
