Did Johar Dudaev say: “The biggest mistake is to neglect Ukrainians”?

On the network for years, a statement of the Chechen politician with praise to the Ukrainian people and a warning to everyone else has been distributed for years. We checked the authenticity of this quote.

The utterance looks like this: “The biggest mistake is to neglect Ukrainians. Count the Ukrainians weak. Offend Ukrainians. Never offend Ukrainians. Ukrainians are never as weak as you think. Do not let Allah Almighty expel Ukrainians or take something from Ukrainians. Ukrainians always return. Ukrainians will return and return their own. But when Ukrainians are returning, they do not know how to calculate power and apply it in proportion to. They sweep everything out in their path. Do not offend Ukrainians. Otherwise, when Ukrainians return to the ground, where their ancestors are buried, those living on this earth will envy the dead. "

In 2023, the former president of Ukraine published a quote on Instagram Victor Yushchenko. The video of the Ukrainian news resource posted on YouTube In Time Ukraine With this phrase I gained more than 600,000 views. Popular publications where the statement attributes to Dudaeva also appeared in Facebook And Telegram.

Ukraine was not alien to the first president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. In the 1980s, Dudaev for several years He served chief of staff of the air division in the Poltava region, and today in the regional center installed A memorial plaque dedicated to him. In several cities Ukraine The streets are called Dudaev. This is due to his support for national movements in the former Soviet republics, striving to minimize their dependence on Russia. Shortly after the beginning of a full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, a fragment of an interview, which Dudaev gave in 1995, gave the View program and in which predicted Conflict because of the Crimea and the war: “Ukraine will still clash with Russia. <...> While Russiansism exists, he will never abandon his ambitions. Now Slavic, under this brand, want to crush, as in the old days, again Ukraine, Belarus, and get stronger. <...> Russia, in fact, is a racketeer. She is in threats, tanks, armades, knocking out money. ”

However, neither in this interview, nor in other authoritative sources, it was “verified” that the statements were not to neglect Ukrainians. In social networks, as the primary source, the quote is often mentioned by the book "The attack of the Ichkeria wolf"(With the subtitle" Essays on the political history of Ukraine "). But Dudaev did not write such a text, his biographies with this name also do not exist.

As the analysis shows publications V social networks, signed by Dudaev, the statement that Ukrainians cannot be neglected on the Internet on August 11, 2014, a few months after the start of military operations in the east of Ukraine. The take -off of popularity that day was provided by the publication on the page of the Ukrainian battalion "Polesie" in Facebook, although it was not the first chronologically.

In 2012, Russian writer and journalist of Chechen descent German Published Collection of essays "Wolf jump. Essays on the political history of Chechnya from the Khazar Kaganate to the present day. ” In one of the texts, the author writes about the importance of building the right relations between Chechen and Russian peoples and Notice: “The biggest mistake is to neglect the Russians. To calculate the Russians weak. Offend the Russians. Never offend Russians. Russians are never as weak as you think. God forbid you to expel Russians or take something from the Russians. Russians are always returning. The Russians will return and return their own. But when the Russians are returning, they do not know how to calculate power and apply it in proportion to. They destroy everything in their path. Do not offend the Russians. Otherwise, when the Russians return to Earth with the graves of their ancestors, living on this earth will envy their ancestors - dead. "

Thus, the statement of Ukrainians attributed to Dudaev is a converted quote about the Russian authorship of Sadulaev, which is actively supports Russian invasion of Ukraine. The name of the book from which this fragment was allegedly taken was also changed - “The jump of the wolf. Essays on the political history of Chechnya from the Khazar Kaganate to the present day ”for“ The attack of the Ichkeria wolf. Essays on the political history of Ukraine. ”
