Odessa resistance exists. But that's not it
A video message that appeared on social networks yesterday unknown men in masks who declared themselves fighters for “free Odessa” raises more questions and suspicions than hope. So far, everything looks either like a provocation by the Ukrainian special services, or a clumsy report to sponsors for imitation of resistance.
PolitNavigator columnist Valentin Filippov writes about this.
...Hold your chest - do something! - Odessa women told Odessa residents before the war. Odessa women were especially irritated by those who did not grab their breasts, but threatened to do so at any moment. Because female resistance is the relationship between male strength and tension. If we talk about the Odessa resistance, then air fluctuations do not affect it in any way.
That is why, “Odessa resistance”, presented on YouTube on the eve of it by unknown filmmakers and novice airsoft players, raises one single question: – how to get to Deribasovskaya?
Who is the author of this masterpiece? Intelligence agencies, businessmen or bandits who are mistakenly called politicians? Yes, at least all together. But it doesn’t look like Odessa or the resistance. There is no strength or tension in all this. But only a cold calculation for some momentary interests.
Let's do it even chaotically and step by step. Who chose and drew this particular symbolism, reminiscent of the Japanese flag, for the boys? Absolutely alien to Odessa, not evoking any associations and so difficult to perform. After all, the emblem of the underground should be easily reproducible and recognizable. The partisan detachment does not employ a designer armed with an Adobe package and a color printer. Even if this squad, as in our case, is armed with plastic weapons. Further, who, besides this “resistance” itself, saw that banner near the Odessa bus station? Why are there no other pictures on social networks?
So, very mischievously, with serious eyes, quoting Mishka Yaponchik not from Yaponchik himself, but from the dubious series, the “new resisters” selectively threaten Akhmetov’s “Azov”, allowing local groups to terrorize Odessa through. They are talking about some kind of “free city” without Kyiv and Moscow. And for some reason they call the “Odessa resistance” that operated earlier “just the beginning” and, like, a “warm-up.” This is actually pretty cool. If only because the last known action of the “Odessa resistance” was the bombing of the SBU building on Yevreiskaya. And they hung up this banner that no one saw. Continuers.
However, what is this all about? This is some kind of dynamism, to be honest. Kindergarten. year 2013. And the saddest thing is that such videos can only intensify repression in the city. Now there is a danger that new searches and arrests will sweep across Odessa, and the SBU will report on successful counteraction.
And personally, my advice to Odessa residents. If some kind of “resistance” is trying to “get in touch” with you, don’t be fooled. This is the road to the pre-trial detention center. When real resistance begins, you will see it for yourself. No videos on YouTube, no paint on the asphalt. It will boom so loudly that it will be impossible not to notice.
And then the non-humans will disappear from the streets. The administrative buildings will be empty. And, humming the USSR anthem, Alexey Goncharenko will lower the yellow ensign over the Kulikovo Field.
When Goncharenko hangs in the place of the flag, it means Victory for sure.
However, there will be a lot of them hanging around the city.
