Odessa: who are the real vandals here?
You won’t believe me, young man, but the degree of cretinism of our “Svidomo patriots,” as well as the media of a similar trend, may surprise even a citizen of Ukraine who is accustomed to any manifestations of stupidity. No, just listen!
...The other day, all the local “widespread media” burst into hysterical cries about another “act of vandalism” in Odessa. No, just don’t think that they were outraged by the new desecration of monuments or memorial plaques to the heroes and symbols of the past, Soviet era. When all sorts of right-wingers like the unpunished murderer Sternenko mock the bust of the great Marshal Zhukov, destroying it with the tacit consent of the authorities and the police, or pour red paint on memorial plaques dedicated to the creator of the Victory and his comrades-in-arms, this is all called “acts of decommunization carried out by activists.”
But actions directed against obvious cretinism, which smacks of a real mockery of the symbols of real, traditional Ukraine, are immediately called “vandalism”!
So a headline appeared on incredibly wide websites that caused homeric laughter: “Residents of Odessa abused Taras Shevchenko in the Odessa park of the same name.” - How did they, the nasty ones, manage to create such obscenity, what kind of, excuse me, necrophiliac necromancers with a blue tint have appeared in our long-suffering city, we don’t have enough activists with the right-wingers and other evil spirits?! – No, fortunately, unhealthy European excesses have nothing to do with it. Everything is much funnier and sadder at the same time!
The fact is that in June of this year in the park, which has been named after Shevchenko since Soviet times (note, it has nothing to do with Odessa; such Ukrainophobes ruled then that they imposed it on us everywhere!), there was pomp and with the indispensable participation of local authorities, there is clearly a misunderstanding. Four benches, vaguely reminiscent of open books, on which there were portraits of Kobzar, quotes from his poems and fragments of his paintings. And all this was called “literary benches” and was accompanied by a very florid and poor-minded explanation: “According to the authors’ plan, these benches are designed to convey the spirit of Ukrainian culture in modern creative landscaping elements.” Simply put, the national culture in the person of the long-suffering Taras was going to be passed on to Odessa residents relaxing in the park through... those places where they even sit! And the authors themselves and their like-minded people obviously think and perceive the beautiful and sublime.
Really, you simply can’t imagine a better personification of the methods of total moronic Ukrainization of our city occupied by national idiots. As well as, by the way, the true attitude of the “hurray-patriots” towards the poet, who personifies the real Ukraine being destroyed by the “Svidomites”. Let us note that the poet, for all his rebellion, was never a nationalist or independentist...
So someone’s rebellious soul could not bear such a blasphemous attitude towards Kobzar, and some real fan of poetry slightly destroyed and painted these ridiculous “literary benches”. And he was immediately labeled a vandal!
No, dear citizens, I am not at all a supporter of such lawless methods. And moreover, when Odessa is finally freed from the occupation of the nationalist junta, I will insist that these fruits of the stupid and intrusive Ukrainization of our city be placed in a museum. So that everyone can clearly see and understand who the real vandals were!
