Civil position[edit]
Khersonskiy consistently speaks as a supporter of Ukrainian independence, opponent of pressure on one's country from Russia and a tough opponent of the pro-Russian forces inside Ukraine. According to him, in this regard, he was subjected to bullying and hostility during the Orange Revolution, and after the next revolution,[8] during the Russian military aggression against Ukraine in 2014-2015 repeatedly received death threats.[9][10] An interview was published on February 10, 2015, in which Kherson said, that I would not stay in Odessa, if the city was occupied.[11] On the evening of the same day, a terrorist attack took place near his house [12] Regarding various riots and provocations in the city of Kherson wrote:
I am almost convinced that the events in Odessa are a kind of performance, the main spectator of which sits at a considerable distance from the events in a comfortable box. The main benefit here is received by the mass media of the Russian Federation. They want a picture for their news programs. They need to maintain in the viewer a sense of constant tension in the region, the presence of pro-Russian resistance. Not the one that is openly manifested in the blogosphere, but the one whose “partisans” will take up arms on occasion. This viewer does not need blood yet.[13]
