Kiev “spilnota” is persecuting a glamorous editor for her words about the funeral of an SBU officer
A scandal erupted in Ukraine due to a blog post by the deputy editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Ukraine magazine Evgenia Plikhina, who did not acknowledge and spoke negatively about the funeral procession and memorial service for one of the SBU snipers liquidated the day before in Donbass Denis Volochaev.
“Is it still customary to bury people pompously? Today I was rushing to work with headphones on and I saw a crowd of people standing on a blocked road. Well, I think it’s some kind of festival, it’s the city center, there’s always some kind of party here.
I turned down the music and saw that everyone’s faces weren’t dancing or street food. Gloomy and black. I listened - march. Funeral.
It turned out that someone, apparently not the last person, died in the SBU. They dragged the entire structure out into the yard and demanded expressions of condolences.
The coffin is being carried to the accompaniment of howling drama, people in military uniform blowing on trumpets until they burst. Carnations, all the paraphernalia. And in my fright, I didn’t figure out how to get around this grief and, in my bright red cap and the same jacket, I wiped myself out in the heart of this mess. Right in the center of the burial passage. Like that dog that ran out in front of the car and pokes and pokes, it won’t understand where to run,” Plikhina wrote.
Her message caused an angry reaction among “professional patriots.”
“I laughed at the funeral of sniper Denis Volochaev. Our hero who died in Donbass. She later removed this post. She apologized. But something else is scary. I see such “plikhins” every day. This is a manicurist, this is a girl at the reception, this is a dressmaker, this is a tangerine saleswoman... They live in their own little philistine world, watch Russian TV series, and they are absolutely indifferent to what is happening in the country,” Kiev journalist Alena Yakhno is indignant.
Plikhina’s name has already appeared on the list of the Myrotvorets website, which illegally publishes personal data of those undesirable with the nationalist mainstream.
Plikhina was already remembered for her Donetsk origin and her trips to Moscow after 2014.
Cosmopolitan Ukraine apologized for the post by its deputy editor-in-chief:
“The Cosmopolitan brand offers condolences to the families and loved ones of the fallen Heroes and asks for forgiveness for the text published this morning by Evgenia Plikhina on her personal page. This text has nothing to do with the brand’s position, and we are sincerely sorry that our colleague committed such a rash act,” the editors say.
