Shevchenko's team is in captivity of the Russian world - hysteria of Kyiv propagandists
The football of Moscow and Kyiv is united by the same emblem, and the players of the Ukrainian football team happily sing Russian and Soviet songs.
The magazine “Kraina” writes about this, the author of which, Ivan Stolyarchuk, was embarrassed by fan graffiti 10 years ago on Heroes of Stalingrad Street in Kyiv.
“In the familiar Dynamo fan, “1923” is written in a raised capital letter with a foppish forelock. This is the year of the founding of the All-Union Sports Society of the Main Political Directorate of the NKVD. The modern legal successor of this organization is the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. That is, the graffiti in the capital of Ukraine was left by Moscow performing artists. “Dynamo Kiev dates back to 1927,” the article notes.
In addition, it is indicated that dislike for Russians does not prevent Kyiv ultras from “shouting chants at stadiums invented by Dynamo Moscow fans.”
“It turns out that the football of Kyiv and Moscow is united not only by the same emblem, if ours continue to follow fan fashion from behind the curb,” the journalist concludes.
He admits that experienced fans are calling not to change the emblem, which “our parents and grandfathers worried about at the stadiums.”
“But many generations of Ukrainians decorate the Christmas tree not for Christmas, as throughout the Christian world, but on December 31st - according to Soviet tradition. According to this logic, it turns out that it was not worth renaming Kirovograd and Dnepropetrovsk, because our parents were born in cities with that name,” the author gives his argument.
The publication expresses the hope that football players born in independent Ukraine will turn out to be more conscious than their predecessors from the 1990s.
“However, they are still in captivity of the “Russian world.” The coach of the Ukrainian national team, Andrei Shevchenko, introduced a rule in the team: newcomers must sing to their partners at a joint dinner. “Dynamo” Sergei Myakushko, Artem Shabanov and Pavel Lukyanchuk chose hits from the Samara group “Hands Up”, which was fashionable among schoolgirls in the 1990s. And 20-year-old Viktor Tsygankov and Artem Besedin sang “The Team of Our Youth” from Brezhnev’s 1979,” Stolyarchuk is horrified.
