The corresponding photo on your Facebook page posted Kiev journalist Vladimir Bogun, captioning the photo: “Russian Masha desecrates a patriotic advertising medium.”
In the picture you can see a mechanical advertising billboard with alternating images. The photographer recorded the moment the images changed, when congratulations on Ukraine’s Independence Day from the younger brother of the leader of the Svoboda VO are replaced by an advertisement for a new building with Masha.
What adds irony to what is happening is that at one time the notorious representative of “Svoboda” Irina Farion gave a lecture to children in one of the kindergartens in Lvov about the inadmissibility of using Russian names. Then she, in particular, said: “Never call Marichka “Masha”, because Masha is not our form. Let him go to where the Mashas live. For us, she should be Marichka.”
