“Putin hacked his account”: Makarevich found something good in Russia
The leader of the Mashina Vremeni group, an openly pro-Western liberal rock musician and lover of post-Maidan Ukraine, Andrei Makarevich, was forced to agree that during the years of Putin’s rule, the old Russian cities of central Russia have changed for the better.
Makarevich himself wrote about this on his Facebook page, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I decided to show my wife Russian beauties (after all, she can’t take me around Ethiopia),” said the musician. – We got into the car and drove to Rostov the Great and Pereslavl Zalessky. I was in these places in 1972 - they measured dilapidated churches and monasteries. I remember very well this devastation, poverty and universal drunkenness. Today these are restored, clean, well-kept provincial towns with friendly citizens, good hotels and restaurants (at reasonable prices). The monasteries are active and open to visitors. There is no trace of the former depression. Miracle!".
The musician’s sudden “epiphany” was commented on by Russian political scientist Oleg Matveychev. “Makarevich is not real!!!!!! Putin hacked the account!” – the expert noted sarcastically.
However, not all subscribers to Makarevich’s page shared the artist’s aesthetic impulse.
“Well, you understand perfectly well why these golden domes, whitish walls and the infrastructure that serve it! – Anatoly Skukin shared his innermost knowledge. “To put it bluntly, it’s medicine, education, this regime in general.”
And indeed, the singer of liberal freedoms did not last long; his next message was a repost from the page of his liberal colleague Lev Rubinstein with a photograph depicting the “running” of a redneck security guard in camouflage on a life-size doll with balls.
“You couldn’t say anything better about today’s life,” Makarevich commented on the image.
