KG/AM: In Kyiv they presented the Svidomo comic book “Yak Vizvoliti Krim?”
On July 25, a presentation of the second season of the “graphic novel”, or, more simply, the comic book “Okhorontsi Krajina”, took place in Kyiv. The event was so important that it took place under the auspices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from which the first deputy, overseeing the party line, was present. Emine Japarova.
The presence of the fugitive Majlis member Dzhaparova was not a mere coincidence: the second season of “Okhoronets” is dedicated to the “liberation” of Crimea. And who, if not a representative of the “Majlis,” will play the role of moderator at the responsible gathering, held under the motto “How will Krim?” and give a pathetic speech?
In addition to watching from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the presentation of the comic was attended by the “creative team” – Igor Rogovoy (author of the text) and Leonid Krasnopolsky (volunteer, designer and producer of “Okhorontsev”).
In fact, the ranks of “graphic novel” authors are much broader than just Rogovoy and Krasnopolsky. The names and details of the plot were helped by the Svidomo inhabitants of the social networks Facebook and Twitter, colloquially referred to as the “couch hundred.” Apparently, this is where the comics are filled with the collective shavar unconscious.
It is noteworthy that of all three members of the presidium, only Dzhaparova spoke in English. The author of the text, for example, was bekal-mekal, straying from Surzhik into “the language of the occupiers,” and in the middle of the speech he spat and continued scratching in Russian. Krasnopolsky did not disgrace himself and immediately declared: “I will speak Russian.” What to do - Svidomo comes in varying degrees of purity.
Dzhaparova’s speech, despite its Ukrainian language and smoothness, was a collection of dull cliches and a re-voicing of Poroshenko’s speeches of the last three years in a female voice. It had everything: “occupation of Crimea since the time of Catherine II”, “Putin, go away!”, “Putin, don’t steal history!”, “Putin, stop totalitarianism!” and other Svidomo diarrhea with Majlis amendments, interspersed with the pseudoscientific parasitic word “narrative”.
It is interesting that during the presentation the operator did not clearly turn the camera towards the audience. At the moment when visitors were invited to ask questions, the camera caught the questioner among the desert of deserted chairs. Journalists and the target audience were clearly in no hurry to meet the beautiful.
From the speech of the “creative team” it was possible to find out that “How will Krim please?” - This is already the fourth part of the comic. The first three were dedicated to the war in Donbass and getting to know the main characters.
First hand information. Meet Khoriv, the group commander from the Ministry of Defense, Kiy - the operational leader, the heart, brain (and member) of the Okhorontsy team. Shchek is a young man with super strength, a computer genius. Lybid is a superwoman and a superfighter. “There are characters from the Crimean Tatar people, custodians of artifacts, peace on our territory depends on them. They have strong superpowers, thanks to them it has been possible to maintain peace and balance for many centuries.”
Crimean Tatar supermen are represented by Asker, Mustafa and Jenike. Mustafa among them is the “chief sage.” I would say Glavmud. I don’t know who Dzhenike is, but Islyamov’s donkey ears stick out from Asker. There’s nothing even to say about Glavmud. They also found “guardians of the world and artifacts”...
The antagonists of the “Krainians” and the “Islyamov sages” are hordes of iron-armed zombies and the obligatory “evil genius” with an underground laboratory for making zombies, nicknamed the Doctor.
How exactly Crimea and the artifacts will be “liberated” was not explained at the presentation, but judging by the first two issues of “Okhoronets”, one of the authors played “Return to Castle Wolfenstein” hard, overheated during the game and suffered mental damage. In addition, a brief acquaintance with the blog of designer and volunteer Krasnopolsky gave us an understanding of who exactly the villain Doctor was based on. Fantasy is poor. I could call the “evil genius” the Darkest and not experience primitive creative pangs.
In general, “Okhorontsi” evokes a painful deja vu. It feels like the authors have untalentedly “reinterpreted” the excellent and banter comic strip from the early 2000s, “Stalin vs. Hitler.” Did you think that a lot of time had passed and everything was forgotten? Fuck you!

Entertaining text writer Rogovoy, anticipating a question from an empty hall - “what is the difference between your super jet and the characters of Marvel and DC Comics” - modestly answered that their heroes differ in their heads: “they first turn on their heads before using their fists.” A little acquaintance with the comic completely confirms the author’s characterization: Kiy certainly puts his head in front of his fists in order to break or punch something.
Reviews of the comic say that “it can be watched without bromine.”
Apparently, yes, it is possible without bromine. You can't live without haloperidol. At least for the target audience. The Svidomite comic is senseless and merciless. Encyclopedia of repressed complexes, a manual for psychiatrists.
It has everything that Svidomo ukru lacks: dazzling peremogi; the leaders of great nations bow before their hetmans and open their doors; the seas are plowed by an armored and aircraft carrier fleet under an ensign with a trident; a majestic fleet of airplanes and airships soars overhead; white airy cities lie among the blue sky and golden wheat; wise elders with banduras speak the truth; hordes of Muscovite zombies, swept away by one left-handed cyborg Cossack... However, one glance at the map of the Great Alternative Ukraine is enough to understand everything at once.
In general, creative fiction is a bummer, but if the accents are placed correctly, then the “graphic novel” acquires a certain logic. Let's say the main character wakes up one not so wonderful day in an unknown place and experiences haloperidol fasting. The story, of course, takes place in a madhouse. In the twilight state, the space around the main character begins to swarm with shadows, bats and iron-armed zombies. There is an uprising in the ward for the violent. The head doctor, trying to stop the exacerbation with the help of injections, straitjackets and electroconvulsive therapy, is perceived by those who have gone on a rampage as the evil genius Doctor, conducting inhumane experiments on “prisoners”, and his orderlies - the army of Beelzebub. Medical paraphernalia for the mentally ill are artifacts, like the baseball trophy - the “holy grail” for the mentally damaged yuppie from the movie “The Fisher King.”
At the end of the second part of the comic, the mental hospital is captured by psychos, destroyed and on fire, but in the fevered brains of the psychos it is not a hospital, but the secret base “F.O.K” of a bunch of villains. The doctor escapes with “artifacts” and “secret documents” (case histories), and the heroes leave for further exploits in the moonlight. To be continued.
Do you think Shchek, Khoriv and the rest of Mustafa are all that the shavar kreakles, strengthened by the brainstorm of the “Sofa Hundred”, are capable of? No matter how it is. The author's plans are to make him the next comic book character... hold on to your chairs! – President Poroshenko himself!
To be honest, the first season is enough to doubt the sanity of the “team of authors,” but after the announcement of plans to glorify the “scoop man,” the authors want to wrap bandages around their hammer-bruised heads and give everyone a plate of herring to soothe the creative itch.
But that's not all. Initially, the target audience for the heroic comic was children 10-12 years old, but during the presentation it turned out that some of the comics would go to the border of Ukraine with Crimea, as well as to the dry land, “to maintain their military spirit.”
The stated price for one brochure is 100 hryvnia without a kopeck, for two - 150 without a kopeck. Greedy Svidomo children are already complaining that oats are expensive these days.
The uncle-authors explain to them: the proceeds will go “to the ATO.” They will be used to buy various military trinkets, which the state does not want to go broke on for “cyborgs” and “gunpowder robots”. Or he will go broke, but at an indecent price. And the guys will buy good things at prices almost like on Aliexpress and pass them on to other good guys who kill and rob civilians, but see themselves as knights of light.
It’s not very clear what the “creative team” and the curators behind them from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are counting on. Judging by Dzhaparova’s speeches, she treats this paper creativity of the insane with spider-like seriousness. In her opinion, some stupid decorations reflecting someone’s damp and stale dreams at a price of 100 hryvnia should stir up people living in the people’s republics of Donbass and Crimea to revolt. Isn’t it easier to buy the manual “Lobotomy for Dummies” (Svidomo idiots will never give up on their own free will) and apply the information gained to yourself? Okay, you are idiots, but why measure other people by your standards?
Svidomo will not understand that visual campaigning must necessarily be accompanied by campaigning in action. Now, if you do shit with one hand, blow up power lines, block the water in a canal, organize a raid on the border, kill, rob and rape, then after this propaganda no visual campaign will work - people will not appreciate the paper gloss and unique artistic style against the backdrop of disaster and ruins .
Isn’t it easier to simply publish these “Murzilkas” in rolls and without text? “In the ATO” they will appreciate what you need.
