Former deputy from Odessa: “I don’t care what’s wrong with the board!”
Ex-deputy of the Odessa City Council Igor Dimitriev, who left his hometown due to participation in the tragic events of May 2, 2014 among supporters of the Russian Spring, sharply criticized the residents of Russia, who today blame Odessa residents for the lack of a decisive rebuff to Ukrainian nationalists who dismantled the memorial plaque to Marshal Zhukov the day before .
Dimitriev explains that the residents of Odessa have learned from the bitter experience of 2014-15, when they were counting on Russian support, but it did not come.
“Let me tell you about Odessa. Let's! Each of your f***ing stories about pro-Russian rallies in Odessa in 2014-2016 was worth several arrests. That is, almost every time you said something on TV about the Bandera junta, and one of the residents of Odessa commented on you, he went to prison. Or no, I didn’t go to jail, I got hit on the head. Or the whole family would lie down with their faces on the floor in their apartment at five in the morning. Every time.
And to this day, some chicks from the editorial offices of your talk shows call me and ask “Igor, do you have anyone who can comment on the events in Odessa?” In all seriousness.
Well, that's not what I'm talking about. I mean that during the media coverage of the events in Odessa, hundreds of people passed through the prison. The most active, decisive, strong. Those who believed that they were more needed in Odessa than in Donbass (because most of them went there).
So, in addition to lost health and wasted years of life, each of them lost their job and became a burden to their own family. After all, every day of stay in a Ukrainian pre-trial detention center is a certain amount. Food, cigarettes, household items, phone payments.
By Moscow standards - ***nya. A resident's monthly allowance can be spent on lunch at a Moscow restaurant. So which of you sent at least one such lunch to prison? A? Nobody! Bloggers, fuckers, talk show guests. I know one guest of the Solovyov talk show who sent messages regularly, but he does not have a page on social networks.
How many of you have met at least one exchange prisoner? After several years locked up, without documents, without a penny in my pocket, without chances and prospects. They look at you and ask: “Igor, where should we go now?” You have a glass with them and say: “There aren’t a lot of options, guys. Now we can give you allowances for initial expenses, clothes, a phone, then I’ll ask my friends about the job. But you need documents, and this is almost unrealistic. Who else is left in the pre-trial detention center? And how to keep in touch with them?
When one of you, some fucking scum, blurts out on the Internet once again: “There weren’t any men in the whole city to punch these guys in the face who knocked down Zhukov’s ironclad. Yeah, Odessa has merged,” and someone will take these words to heart. Some naive Odessa resident will go and hit. The honor of the marshal will be upheld, so to speak. So this will mean that I and someone else from us will have to convey warmth to them, run around with requests to be included in the lists for exchange, then meet them, bring them to their senses, and think about how to bring this person back to life.
And he probably won’t be able to submit Russian documents, and then the same fucking bastards will write about him: “Well, there was no point in violating the deadlines for submitting documents, they were deported correctly!”
So I don’t give a damn what’s wrong with the board!” – Dimitriev concludes emotionally.
