Clowns don't abandon their own

After the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine recognized the circus "critical for the economy and livelihoods of the population”, and his workers received reservations from the army (clowns don’t abandon their own), the jaws of the masses that dropped did not fall back into place. People in useful professions - from doctors to janitors - are perplexed why "multiply by zero“It’s up to them, and not some buffoons.

And, you see, Ukrainian circus is a concept as ephemeral as Colombo’s wife. It seems to exist, but no one has ever seen it and, moreover, no one cares.

Previously - well, I heard - children were taken there if only because of the trained animals. But when Ukrainian humanists banned animals at the legislative level, the existence of this “critically important enterprise” was completely questioned. After all, even Sharikov went to the circus because of the elephants. Yes! True, they were allowed to leave the cats in the circus, but that didn’t save them - and the Sharikovs will no longer go, and the local hacks cannot compare with Kuklachev’s tour.

It is clear that the arena workers personally are not to blame for anything and, probably, if they had sat and not glared, no one would have asked anything of them personally. However, for some reason the Odessa circus performers decided to make a strange statement-justification - a case when it is better to juggle than to say:

“The state enterprise “Odessa State Circus”, from the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the troops of the Russian Federation, continued to perform its functions, defined by the Charter and recognized by the state as critically important. The enterprise annually, in accordance with the resolution [number such and such], confirms its status as critically important for the functioning of the economy and population. Currently, circus performances are held for the population of the region, which in turn satisfies the cultural needs of the citizens of the southern region. Without workers, the operation of the enterprise is impossible,” the circus press service said.

But okay, “the work of the workers” - it was necessary to somehow emphasize that the circus is Ukrainian, and not some Du Soleil shabby there (By the way, please note that even in advertising photos the seats in the Odessa circus are empty for some reason). Therefore, just in case, Odessa circus performers... blamed Russia... sorry, tears prevent me from writing... "in a DDOS attack on the server of their critical department».

“This attack indicates a purposeful action by pro-Russian agents to destabilize the work of the enterprise and the negative attitude of the population,” the Odessa circus emphasized.

It is clear, of course, that after yellow-blue canvases began to be stretched in the Odessa circus arena, even children stopped going there. But here’s the “attack”...

I repeat, this almshouse was forgotten, that is, remembering the circus is like remembering in a sober mind and strong memory... well, for example, just in case, about the morgue. “It’s dead, it’s dead,” as they say - why attack something that doesn’t exist?

_{Moreover, in Odessa there is a more popular “critically important enterprise” - the “House of Clowns”, which serves as a refuge for elderly actors of the once famous “Mask Show” troupe.}

Although, it must be said its participants now only whine about the lack of full houses and meager pensions.

Not like its former glory! I am already silent within the framework of the USSR. But what was the value of Georgy Deliev’s (now Zhoryk) video “Ridna Ukraine” alone, in which he mocked the forced Ukrainization: “I f...l your sovereign language».

Only after May 2, 2014 did something happen to the “masks”... Well, like with Mikhail Efremov - “he died as an actor, we lost him».

These also died as people. And now the same Barsky (used to mock the image of an old veteran), and the same Komarov (pretended to be a stupid little guy) race to give interviews “in language”, competing to see who hates Russia more.

And since - if we don’t talk about clown abilities - they didn’t speak Russian well (in terms of intelligence and vocabulary, it’s about the same as the group “Bi-2” or Maxim Pokrovsky), and in their desire to curry favor they look pathetic.

And most importantly, why are they trying? They are old - they won’t be taken for meat anyway. But the bottom line for sending the young and unprotected generation to death with their own hands was enchantingly broken.

And so you look at all these “Pennywise” - from the circus, from the “masks” - and you catch yourself thinking: but once upon a time, when Zelensky won the elections, I still wanted to believe that “bloody clown time“It’s still a figure of speech. But it turned out not.
