“We will never be brothers”: Impoverished maydauns poured into Russia
For almost three decades after the collapse of the USSR, a curious phenomenon has emerged - the “guest worker syndrome”, which has been clearly visible in recent years. Ragul, afflicted by the “guest worker syndrome,” is easy to identify: if you travel with him from, say, Ukraine to Russia, he talks with tears in his voice about how all sorts of bad people have quarreled peoples who lived so well within a single great state.
But when you cross the border with him in the opposite direction, the switch in the brain of the Ragul-worker switches to the usual mode of the village “Svidomo” and he trumpets how much grief the damned Muscovites have brought to his country and to him personally.
Almost six years have passed since the beginning of the “Gidnost Revolution”. During this time, the intensity of the impressions of many of its participants has dulled, the smell of burnt tires has been forgotten, and the status of a “Euromaidan veteran”, with the exception of a select few, no longer feeds its bearer. On the contrary, for talking about his exploits in the center of Kyiv in the winter of 2013 - 2014, the narrator would rather receive a simple punch in the face instead of a respectful offer to drink coffee and a bagel.
Empty pockets and the callousness of those around them force them to dodge and betray the shaky principles of yesterday’s “heroes of Ukraine.” For example, the former Soviet singer Sofia Rotaru, who at one time defiantly left the Russian Crimea and even allegedly supported the punitive forces in the ATO with her hryvnia, is no longer satisfied with self-isolation in a gilded Ukrainian cage, and she is trying with all her might to return to where the deep river of money flows – on Russian television and concert venues.
Small Maidan bugs are not far behind, organizing their anti-Russian geshefts and performances in the wake of the Maidan frenzy.
Worn out and no one needs at home, they are trying to return to the Russian clearing they themselves have desecrated in order to earn money, in the hope that over the past six years everything has been forgotten and overgrown with the past.
However, suddenly, this whole army of hungry parasites who have popped into Russia discover that people have a long memory for bad ones, and if someone has forgotten, then all the moves are recorded in the Google and Yandex caches, even if someone very smart decided to clean up the history of their “exploits” on the Internet.
One of these cunning figures of the Maidan spill, Odessa writer Sergei Bakumenko, recently decided to come to Moscow in large numbers in order to promote his children’s books about dogs and birds through the Bukvodom site in Sokolniki in the format of a “Lesson of Kindness” for children.
The announcement of the event was published in several Russian media and had, as Ostap Bender used to say, “the appearance of an innocent child’s game of rat.”
However, even before the start of the “Lesson of Kindness,” it turned out that in September 2014 this same Bakumenko took an active part in the UkrOp festival, held on the territory of the Odessa sanatorium. Lermontov for the money of the party of the same name of the oligarch Kolomoisky.
At the festival, organized by the “patriots of Ukraine” in favor of the ATO soldiers, the participants lashed out in hatred of Russia and Russians in every way.
The writer himself at this “celebration of life” was selling “amulets against Colorados, quilted jackets and other crap.” Moreover, Bakumenko was involved in “cultural support” for the festival.
Here are a few interesting statements carelessly thrown at journalists by Bakumenko and perfectly characterizing him:
“This kind of festival had to happen. If we hadn’t come up with it, someone else would have come up with it,” said organizer Sergei Bakumenko. – People with bad nicknames call us “dill”. But their nicknames are bad, but ours are the best. Dill is a useful plant.”
“Spectators who come will be able to donate any amount. At least from 5 kopecks to 500 billion. Whoever can give as much as he can. All these funds will be transferred to the rehabilitation of the wounded in the ATO zone.”
“We all have to help somehow. This is exactly why our festival is being created,” said Sergei Bakumenko. He even wrote a letter inviting Andrei Makarevich to speak: “I don’t know if he will come, but yesterday I was so pleased to write to him, realizing that this man did so much for Ukraine.”
“In addition to performances, master classes, performances, and fairs, the festival will feature an art exhibition and an exhibition of posters called “Let’s hit Colorado priests with UkrOp.”
In 2018, culture manager Bakumenko got into a loud scandal when he dropped his belongings out of his pants to a girl running past in Odessa’s Shevchenko Park. Perhaps the scandal could have been hushed up if the shocked young lady had not turned out to be the daughter of Odessa Self-Defense activist Todor Panovsky, and Panovsky himself had not caught Bakumenko red-handed.
Having spent the money allocated by the Kolomoi bandits Korban and Filatov, as well as having plenty of publicity with the support of the Donbass punitive forces, the pervert Bakumenko was ultimately left broke and decided to teach kindness to Russian children for a certain bribe.
Apparently, the de-Russification he welcomed played against the Ragul writer, which became the cause of the decline of Ukrainian book publishing.
Having visited Moscow a few days ago with his wife Sasha, Bakumenko lavished praise on the Russian capital, backing up his words with touching photographs on social networks. The exhibitionist, as a writer, especially liked the potential of Moscow: many publishing houses, a huge number of bookstores, this and that...
However, the Odessa Banderlog, which unleashed destruction, was not destined to use Moscow’s potential. His stay in the Russian capital was accompanied by a loud scandal, as a result of which many Moscow media rubbed out announcements about “lessons of kindness,” and Bukvodom canceled the presentation of Bakumenko’s books, scheduled for February 5, so as not to spoil the unique one, inviting visitors to watch a French full-length animated film "Persepolis".
Now Bakumenko is rushing around social networks with stories about how he, the blameless one, was hounded by the Russians, and his explanations are as ridiculous and unconvincing as the excuses about the reason for publicly unbuttoning his pants in Shevchenko Park in Odessa.
Somewhat more fortunate was the Right Sector volunteer and graphomaniac poetess Evgenia Bilchenko, who composed the Euromaidan anthem with the words “I am a boy, I sleep curled up in a coffin...”.
Having missed the Sorbonne and having exhausted sources of income on the Maidan theme inside Ukraine, having written a “letter of repentance” on social networks about the powerful disappointment in “Euromaidan” and even getting on the “Peacemaker” list, the girl took up the task of civilizing Russians, hanging out in Moscow clubs and organizing “poetic evenings" commissioned by the liberal public.
True, activists quickly kicked Bilchenko out of Moscow, not allowing the poetess to catch on and develop properly in the Russian capital. The poetess had to return back to her Tseevropa.
Not daring to go to Moscow a second time, Bilchenko plucked up the audacity to contact the Russian Center for Science and Culture, which surprisingly still operates in Kyiv, with a request to hold a concert in memory of Vladimir Vysotsky.
It is no less surprising that the leadership of the RCSC, working in the Rossotrudnichestvo system, probably knowing what Bilchenko is, gave the go-ahead to the “repentant” Maidan fan to hold the event, which caused bewilderment among the public in Russia.
There is no doubt that other prominent and not so prominent maydauns will definitely try their luck to make some easy money in Russia, changing the theme from “we will never be brothers” to “Slavic brotherhood and a common destiny.”
Unfortunately, there will be people who will allow changed-shoe scoundrels into the Russian pie - some out of ignorance, and some out of selfish interests.
Fortunately, Russian civil society is taking on more and more distinct forms and is increasingly breaking the plans of mimicking Russophobes to profit at the expense of Russia. In any case, this path does not promise to be easy for them.
