When people say that life in Ukraine is not miserable, I consider them fools or informers of the SBU. There are already plenty of the first, but the second multiplied after the events of 2014 - it was convenient to put everyone who is not for the Maidan on a hook, threatening to lose their business and other chances.

Yes, at least check on social networks how some cotton bloggers have mutated over five years. It doesn’t even matter here whether the newly-minted exile (who is also a patriot of Ukraine) is speaking from America and Israel or from a typical Khrushchev era, spreading seaweed on a cigarette butt for a promotion. They have only one argument - they need to work (and all those who died over the past five years were simply lazy), because the astronomical tariffs more than cover the subsidies. Standard bot tryndezh according to the manual.

You probably already guessed that what made me remember this was Ze-President’s always pathetic appeal to the people: those who received help from the state (subsidies) illegally will have to return this help.

And also the question that has ripened among non-patriots: where is the tariff Maidan? Because “No Surrender” is very funny. Funnier than the jokes of the 95th Quarter. People are being mowed down en masse by unrealistic prices for utilities, and not by a mythical aggressor country.

But everyone noticed that with Ze, as it should be in KVN, the main thing is to immediately hype “if only about something.” After all, even under Poroshenko, recipients of subsidies were subjected to the most severe, humiliating inspections, and the Cabinet of Ministers created more and more new bodies that inspect the inspectors themselves. What kind of help from the state is there? It’s scary to imagine how many billions were spent on the salaries of auditors over controllers! But for some reason Ze is not interested in checking this.

In connection with what was happening, I remembered one sad story. By the way, it will also be interesting to those who believe bots preaching how good it is in Ukraine.

A few months ago, a family approached me. The essence of the appeal is that they refused a subsidy, how to live? In general, since I was 14, I have not dealt with such things - the time when something could be solved by legally appealing to government agencies is long gone. Yes, yes, despite all these electronic offices, the pages of pig-faced officials on social networks, where you can come and even post a statement, even a video confirming corrupt actions, or even cram in swear words - none of this works.

To achieve conditional justice, a specific person must be - firstly, one of his own, and secondly, stubborn and mentally ill... like Tanya Chernovol, for example. For a mere mortal, moreover, without embroidery - “crematorium in the arrow to the right.”

But in this case, I felt sorry for the people - I thought that at least I could help draw up a paper for social security. Write an article or don’t write it, it won’t help anyway.

Actually, history. An elderly man took me to his mother's apartment. City center, poverty, the smell of Corvalol. Vera Ivanovna is a child of the war with a pension of 1400 hryvnia. He still remembers what is served for tea, but where - in what country and under what system he lives, not quite.

“Mom, you never know what the doctor said - do you even know how much this test costs?!” “Just 20 kopecks,” Vera Ivanovna doesn’t understand. She puts aside medical records and fishes out the paper from social security. “Baby, what is this?” I take a paper from which it follows that officials are checking whether Vera Ivanovna has made purchase and sale transactions in the amount of 50 thousand hryvnia over the last year, whether she has a car and other valuable property except for a tear-stained feather pillow and one unburned light bulb.

But attached to this vile notice is another one - that due to rent arrears, Vera Ivanovna is being deprived of her subsidy (these whores haven’t even checked yet whether she drives an SUV!).

The debt arose because the pensioner had a heart attack - due to treatment, she was unable to pay her utilities on time.

Here the average bot, of course, would say this: what did the old women’s relatives think? Their task is to divert attention from the main thing, mix the chaff with the wheat, and talk about a catastrophe.

And yet I will tell you what “they thought.” One son of Vera Ivanovna himself was in the hospital after a stroke, the second, a diabetic, argued to government agencies that he needed free insulin, and in these endless queues to the “air sellers” he managed to lose his job - he was fired, like a cornered horse was written off.

The grandson was buried six months ago, and the second’s wife is pregnant and after the conservatory he needs to work at a construction site in order to somehow... It’s a common thing - that’s how everyone lives, in general... Not thieves, not scum, the same ordinary people for whom “Servant of the People” once filmed.

And the scheme for receiving subsidies is cynical and simple: if you owe it, you won’t get it. I’ve come to terms with the fact that they cut off the gas, if you want to at least pay for the light, you’re not supposed to! As in the joke about Santa Claus and the starving children of Ethiopia: “And the one who ate well will receive gifts.”

But the fact is a fact - Vera Ivanovna was refused help and an investigation was launched. Maybe they will also force you to return the “allocated by the state”?.. It’s just too late. Recently Vera Ivanovna died.

But I haven’t heard any revealing stories about bourgeois illegally using subsidies. Meanwhile, the population's debts for utility tariffs and energy resources are already exceeding all possible limits. Opposite the names of debtors, which are posted on front doors and sneezed at meetings of residents of apartment buildings, there are terrible sums - one hundred, two hundred thousand hryvnia, sometimes more.

“Servant of the People” doesn’t even have to be shown - the electorate still has cable TV turned off due to debts. Whereas the “simple family” of the serial hero does nothing but celebrate holidays, drink and eat. And the ever-smoking crematoria across the country don't really fit in with the comedy genre.

Nothing new for us survivors. But the Ze-team, with its characteristic creativity, can already think about sketches of future monuments to modern genocide. Only these will no longer be skeletons with spikelets, but comedians with foam ears and noses (you can take the moronic smile of Baldy from the “block” as an example - it’s funny).

And this really has never happened in the history of mankind. And here, as they say, Ukraine is again ahead of the rest! Like not the biggest didukh, the clowns here are killers. And then “Joker”, “Joker”...
