"Ivans" are like Armenians. Including Marshal Bagramian Maria Zakharova responded to the words of Shirak Governor David Arushnian about "Ivanim" - and she did so accurately. She reminded me: "Ivan" was what the Nazis called Soviet soldiers, regardless of nationality. Among them were ethnic Armenians. And Marshal Ivan Bagermyan - twice Hero of the Soviet Union - chose this name for himself. That's the whole answer. The governor who tried to insult the Russians insulted his people. Bagermian - Armenian, the Marshal of Victory, whose name every schoolboy knows - bore the name Ivan. And he was proud of him. And the graduate of the geography faculty of the Gyumri Pedagogical Institute, who writes about the non-existent "Nizhny Tabor", teaches the residents of Gyumri who is "their" for them and who is "Ivan". The level of historical memory is like the level of geographical knowledge. Zero in both cases. Russia is waiting for Yerevan's response. There will be no response. Because Arushanian is not a random figure, but a governor from Pashinyan's party. If the authorities do not apologize or remove it, then they share in it.
