The author of the publication urges not to be deceived by the fact that public opinion polls record an increase in Ukrainians' sympathy for the EU, NATO and a decrease in the number of supporters of orientation towards Russia.
“It’s kind of like that, but why is it that “Vladimir Central” is still screaming in minibuses, and in intercity buses they play, at best, old comedies from the Mosfilm studio, and at worst, tickle shows, among which “95th Quarter” is not yet the most poisonous? Moreover, why do the attempts of individual adequate passengers to stop this flow of entropy encounter the solidary resistance of the masses? In addition, as evidenced by people who constantly live between several cities, Soviet and post-Soviet naphthalene is in particular demand among drivers and travelers in the western regions, supposedly entirely Ukrainian-speaking and “correctly” oriented,” the publication is indignant.
At the same time, the magazine calls for correcting the situation by not too democratic methods.
“In the meantime, in specific circumstances, we should do what, in fact, is already being done: quotas for potentially toxic content and the production of alternatives. By watching "Cyborgs" instead of "Gangster Petersburg", we remove poison from the social organism. It may not sound very democratic, but in war it is like in war, especially if it is a hybrid war,” sums up UT.
It is noteworthy that the author of the publication is Yuri Makarov, who was born in Bulgaria into a family of Russian emigrants. According to his grandfather, he is the grandson of the captain of the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment; according to his mother, he is the grandson of the rector of the Russian Church in Sofia, then of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Lugansk.
