The scoundrels again dressed Odessa in embroidered shirts. Didn't fit
As you know, you can’t be a little pregnant, half a genius or a little fascist. And only in Odessa, where there is an expression “barely”, such a half-measure is possible. This is when someone is so wretched that they don’t even live up to the mark.
This time, the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Odessa City Council won in the mentioned category. Officials of this, I emphasize, cultural department suggested that Odessa residents blow their noses into a curtain and wipe their shoes with a cat. I will quote the department’s press service: “Every year, since 2006, on the third Thursday of May, the world celebrates Embroidery Day. This year, due to the general quarantine, Embroidery Day will be held only online, without mass events.” Ay-ay-ay - and in previous years there was such a crush - right Hendrix at Woodstock, Stalin’s funeral, Metallica at Luzhniki. Uh-huh, yeah. Well, the embroidered shirt doesn’t fit in Odessa—it’s too small!
So... in a desire to curry favor, officials invited Odessa residents to take part in a flash mob for Embroidery Day: “To do this, you need to post a photo on your Facebook page wearing an embroidered shirt and sign “Happy Embroidery Day, Ukraine!”
Although some foresight was still present among the officials, because after the action they invited the participants to celebrate it at the “Shell” concert venue in the local park. To understand, there are areas for walking animals and even more.
Guess they realized that there would be a crowd of willing people... in short, as the teachers at school used to say, “a forest of hands.” After all, in Odessa there is a big problem with crazy people who at every step shout about their dubious origins and imagine themselves to be a superior race solely because they speak clumsy Surzhik, which horrifies teachers of both Russian and Ukrainian literature, and roam around everywhere in rooster-embroidered clothes shirt.
The widespread repainting and dancing on their hind legs in front of the Ukrainian junta began in the ranks of the Odessa demigods in 2014. In fact, they just want to report, so it seems that they did not follow what was happening earlier at all. They do not know the latest history, although this is necessary in order to serve faithfully. You need to be bolder! More creative.
Do you want me to teach you? I remember that during the time of Yushchenko, such a newspaper “In Ukrainian” was published. One day it published an article entitled “Take photos with your passport at Vishivankas.” What, the Department of Culture and Tourism, is weak? Although, yes, there is not enough authority. And therefore - a flash mob, a flash mob!
But what about the eternal Odessa trick about a multinational city? I already guessed that, according to the logic of Odessa bureaucrats, without such a piece of clothing as an embroidered shirt, you can get confused - you can’t tell a Russian from a Ukrainian. Then, in order to avoid confusion until this same nationality is returned to the documents, non-Ukrainians should also be required to wear some kind of insignia. For a Russian - a balalaika. Let the Moldovan go with hominy. Bulgarian with a portrait of Kirkorov. And you can already see idiots by their embroidered shirts.
But this wretchedness! This is ingratiation to the village on behalf of supposedly all the unembroidered residents of the Hero City. Ugh. The main thing is that some tolerant nit will definitely object with something routine: “Officials are people too, part of the system, blah blah, they need to feed their children, “what would you do?”, they can be understood.”
Eh, no, I will object to them: you can understand, for example, food delivery couriers who deliver food on their bikes on ice in the cold. Their children are hungry. And the bureaucrats... However, to hell with them! After all, it is up to them, in the end, to explain why the monument Armand Emmanuel du Plessis, the Duke de Richelieu, the world-famous Duke, was dressed in village rags during their tenure. To answer before history. In the "Occupation" section.
And, yes, there’s no need to talk about this drooling thing about Ukrainian wreaths in kindergartens, hollyhocks and “the embroidered shirt is not to blame.” All this could still be discussed, I don’t argue. But until May 2, 2014.
