Mazepa's cross to a speechwriter who doesn't stop Poroshenko from being himself
On February 20, in honor of the fifth anniversary of the “guidness revolution”, or simply the beginning of the bloody massacre at Euromaidan, “Yogo Vysokopozhnost” Poroshenko decided to shower almost two and a half dozen “gidnyuks” and “maydowns” with medals. “For civil courage and selfless defense of the constitutional principles of democracy, human rights and freedoms, fruitful social and volunteer activities,” as stated in the corresponding decree of the Ukropenführer.
Eight Euromaidan troubadours from among cultural figures were awarded the Order of Merit, III degree. Thirteen more Maidan baboons were awarded the Order of Courage, III degree (two posthumously). The Order of Princess Olga, III degree, was awarded to volunteer Zoya Kuzmenko and the Majlis “Crimean sucker” Tamila Tasheva.
But Poroshenko prepared the most delicious award of the Ivan Mazepa Cross for his freelance adviser and speechwriter Oleg Medvedev, who is currently busy with the media ennoblement of Petit’s ruined image at the presidential election headquarters.
Mazepa's Cross is a very interesting and remarkable award. Founded exactly 10 years ago by the “orange” President Yushchenko. Awarded “for a significant contribution to the revival of the national cultural, artistic, spiritual, architectural, military-historical heritage, services in state-forming, diplomatic, humanistic, scientific, educational and charitable activities.” To be fair, all this pompous verbiage could easily be replaced with a short and succinct definition: “the most slippery, rotten and unprincipled representatives of the Ukrainian government.” New “mazepas”, in short.
In principle, the Mazepa Cross can be attached to any scoundrel pulled out at random from the post-Maidan powerhouse - you can’t go wrong. But since the award is “for merit,” it is difficult to find a more slippery and unprincipled “Mazepa” than Oleg Medvedev, Poroshenko’s adviser and speechwriter.
So, Oleg Medvedev, was born in 1969 in Lisichansk (Voroshilovgrad region, Ukrainian SSR). In 1994 he graduated from the Institute of Asian and African Countries (ISAA) at Moscow State University. While still a student, from 1990 to 1992 he worked as a correspondent for the Postfactum news agency. From 1991 to 1994 – correspondent and parliamentary observer for the Kommersant publication. From 1994 to 2001 – correspondent in Moscow, director of the Moscow bureau, editor-in-chief of the Kievskie Vedomosti newspaper, editor of the economics and politics department, chief editor of the Business People magazine.
In 2001, Medvedev ends his Moscow career and unexpectedly emerges in Kyiv, but not as a journalist, but as the main PR man for the Yabloko party and its scandalous leader Mikhail Brodsky, who played the role of political clowns in the Ukrainian government circle.
Having left Brodsky, from 2003 to 2011 Medvedev feverishly rushed between the election headquarters of Yushchenko and Tymoshenko, getting stuck in BYuT for a long time.
During the 2014 presidential elections, Medvedev’s face flashes already at Poroshenko’s election headquarters. In July 2014, by decree of Petya Medvedev was appointed as a freelance adviser to the President of Ukraine.
In general, observers are presented with a citizen with a developed sense of sensitivity, who perfectly senses which way the wind is blowing and on which side of the sandwich the butter is spread thicker.
The quality of the adviser and speechwriter’s work speaks for itself: it is in his words that Poroshenko speaks to the people of Ukraine, from high stands and to foreign leaders. Apart from the most frostbitten “powder-bots”, for whom any outburst of words from their beloved boss is the same as the incendiary speeches of Cicero, the overwhelming majority of listeners of Poroshenko’s speeches cause laughter, shame, and condemnation. The leader of not the smallest European state should not speak like this, but he speaks like this because a speechwriter writes the appropriate speeches for him and an adviser, a holder of the Mazepa Cross, gives him advice.
It makes no sense to list Petya's nonsense - the entire Internet is filled with it.
Reading or listening to Poroshenko’s statements, the image that appears is not of the president and noble father of the nation, but of an undisguised scammer, beggar, liar, fool and lackey all rolled into one. But, apparently, a lover of torn socks, wearing pants backwards and a jacket tucked into his fly is quite happy with the image of a pig in a suit.
In other words, Medvedev simply does not stop Petya from being himself. The combination of Poroshenko and his chief speechwriter works on the anti-Carnegie principle: “how to scare away others and disgust people.”
It should be said that the adviser and PR man Oleg Medvedev himself matches the person entrusted to his care. Reading his speeches in the press and comments on the social network Facebook, one gets the impression of a narrow-minded person who accidentally ended up studying at the prestigious Institute of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State University.
In particular, speechwriter and political strategist Medvedev gets into a skirmish with Mustafa Nayem under Nayyem’s article about the difficulties of Ukrainian business.
“Mustafa, they are waiting for you in Kyiv. Misha in the tents and Kokhanivsky in the destroyed court. they need your support, they are saving Ukraine, and you are giving lectures. I wish I had put on glasses,” Medvedev sneers.
“Oleg, you mixed up the branches. Go write your memoirs about how you composed Yulia Tymoshenko’s victory speeches after signing enslaving gas agreements with Moscow in 2009. Joker,” Mustafa fights back.
“People, at your call, settled in tents. You left, and Yegor (Sobolev) still beats them in the face. Ukraine after Poroshenko is Ukraine under Mustafa. Come back and lead the protest! Don't net. You can’t give all the power to Misha and Semyon. We need balance!” Medvedev continues to escalate.
“I’m embarrassed to ask, but do I understand correctly that this is written by a man who rushed between Yatsenyuk and Poroshenko, and then, together with Tymoshenko and regionalist Onishchenko, helped destroy Yatsenyuk?)) Calm down!” the main maydown reprimands his opponent.
Numerous supporters of “European Ukraine” join the showdown and the seasoned political strategist jumps off the topic.
At the end of December 2016, Medvedev noted stupid post on Facebook, dedicated to the issue of political correctness of Father Frost and Snow Maiden in modern Ukraine:
“Are Father Frost and the Snow Maiden subject to decommunization as symbols of the Soviet era? Are they active Russian agents, the soft power of the Kremlin? Or is this the legacy of Finno-Ugric folklore that is alien to us? Does this artifact have a place in Ukrainian holiday discourse? Believe it or not, I've been suffering from this for half a day now. This is necessary for professional political consultation.”
Such difficult questions torment the mind of Poroshenko’s adviser and speechwriter. And, it must be admitted, all this nonsense results in concrete decisions. Already in 2017 in Ukraine, as part of “decommunization,” the displacement of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden by Saint Nicholas began.
“Prophetic Oleg” also appeared in the scandal surrounding Petya’s candy factory “Roshen” in Lipetsk.
Let us recall: in 2016, Russian President Putin, answering questions from participants in the Valdai discussion club, explained why he was not closing the Lipetsk factory, owned by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko: “We strive to respect property rights...” and even named Poroshenko investor in the economy of the Lipetsk region.
In response, Medvedev published an abusive post on Facebook, in which he called the patron’s enterprise a “caramel farm” and wished it to burn with a blue flame, launching an idiotic “duck”, as if Putin was interfering with Roshen and preventing the Rothschilds from selling a candy factory in Lipetsk.
Finally, in August 2016, Ukraine learned from party declarations that speechwriter Medvedev alone was making seven times more money than the entire apparatus of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc party - 140 thousand hryvnia versus 20,6 thousand.
In general, the president and his adviser-speechwriter are two pairs of boots. And both - on the left leg. Two slimy bastards found each other. And the Cross of Mazepa found its worthy gentleman.
