Since there's such a booze going on, I'll probably explain the most important thing. In order for a political emigrant with Ukrainian citizenship to be legalized in the Russian Federation, one must be a fairly successful and energetic person. Not an oligarch, but not making ends meet either. A person should have both free time and free money. And the conversation is not about bribes, no one is asking for them. It's just this whole procedure...

It absolutely doesn’t matter “what kind of guy he was.” Who, when and where saw him. What and to whom did he say? How confidently he drove the car over rough terrain. Over these four years, we have buried so many, left so many to die in prisons and forest belts, that it is somehow too hypocritical to mourn over one killed soldier. Moreover, on…

The Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine has prepared a new list of sites subject to ban. PolitNavigator was also on this list. The list will be transferred to law enforcement agencies to establish whether an offense has been committed. In particular, our publication is charged with Article 109 of the Criminal Code (public call for a violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order, or for the seizure of state power, as well as the distribution of materials calling for...

If tomorrow Spain switches from the euro to the hryvnia, then we can say with confidence that Poroshenko never returned to Kyiv, but was stuck in the vicinity of Madrid, where he selflessly drinks with the Spanish leadership. And how else can one explain the fact that Madrid, out of hundreds of paths and roads, chose not only the most wrong one, but in general, the Ukrainian one?...

Instead of the morning planning meeting at the Russian Foreign Ministry, I would play this video. At least in the division that is responsible for Ukraine. And not at all so that the enchanting DB will be remembered, but so that the stunning “our Kyiv partners” will be forgotten. The humiliation of our consul, his denial of access to a citizen of the Russian Federation held by the Ukrainian authorities, is not the initiative of some inadequate...

Once again so that everyone understands. These are not sanctions. This is a war for the European energy market. America wants to sell its energy resources to Europe, but cannot compete with Russia. In Russia, distances are shorter and delivery methods are cheaper. It is much easier to pump gas through a pipe than to liquefy it, pump it into containers and transport it across the ocean. That's why America comes up with...

Oh, what do you know about #menottaken? Kindergarten about your holdings and projects. They didn’t take me, so they didn’t take me. Once in a lifetime and forever. Just once. Everything else worked out for me in such a way that I don’t need to relive this life again. The maximum I can do is to give her 50 years, because I’m stupid...

Being expelled from the Party of Regions for fraud is the same as being fired from the Ukrainian army for drunkenness. Incredible, it would seem. But there is such a copy in Odessa. This is Pavel Serebrenik. Professional fraudster, extortionist and provocateur. Professional because he doesn’t wander around Privoz, breaking banknotes, but quite solidly owns a transport business, honestly wrested from a cop with...

Odessa has seen worse times. For example, the plague. Odessa has seen funnier times. For example, cholera. In the first case, we buried the dead and sprinkled bleach on top. In the second case, we were declared contagious, and we trashed all the mayonnaise jars. Now we have an integrated approach. While we are burying our dead, they have dirtied every corner and square...

A resident of Russia sees this as a “cauldron”. From any fairly safe distance, from where you can’t make out the details, this is a real “cauldron” into which the Maidan workers found themselves. Ukraine is completely surrounded. All real economic activity has stopped. Handouts in the form of non-repayable loans have been stopped. Yesterday’s well-wishers squint predatorily at the smell, but cannot make up their minds because this is not their “cauldron”.…

It always seemed that Jews and Odessa were an indivisible whole. Offhand, in any social circle, in any section of Odessa society, there were always about ten percent of Jews present. However, the older generation still has it. Approximately. Although, after 1991, an insanely large number of Jews left. In general, Odessa residents, not accustomed to dividing people according to nationality, never singled out...

Yes. There is no one else to talk to and nothing to talk about. They are self-righteous imbeciles. But every time I remember that every exchange of prisoners takes place within the framework of the Minsk agreements. And let the Nazis block the “all for all” format. Let them call theirs “hostages” and ours “criminals.” But hope lives in us. Suddenly these brutes will free the Russians. At least…
