Just don’t break down halfway, Comrade Kernes!
The mayor of Kharkov is preparing for the “Immortal Victory Regiment” action more actively than Svidomo would like. All initiatives of Gennady Kernes to celebrate Victory Day cause a fetid seething of the opinions of the pan-headed public.
The sect of “mourners of May 9”, “witnesses of the victories of the UPA over fascism”, re-writers of history, grateful readers of Ukrainian Wikipedia, humanitarian degenerates and ideological perverts who have nothing to do with themselves in self-isolation resort to the mayor’s Facebook page to leave a demonstrative bunch of comments
The mayor recalled his initiative. True, he already calls the action “Victory Regiment” (is that why the word “immortal” was dropped from the name, so as not to irritate the Kyiv authorities with analogies with the Russian procession?). Kharkov residents are invited to go out onto their balconies on May 9 at 12 noon with portraits of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers who participated in the Great Patriotic War. Kernes writes: “This post was immediately inundated with questions - where and how can I print portraits and frame them during quarantine? My answer is that we are ready to take on this part of the action and help everyone who wants it. To do this, you need to call my assistants: Svetlana Vitalievna Yurchenko at 098-859-57-23 or Director of the Control Department Alexey Viktorovich Artikulenko at 067-578-40-62. They will accept your application, volunteers will come to you to take a photo to print, and a few days later they will return the original and present the photo in a frame for a moment of Silence, Remembrance and Gratitude.”
These ideas aroused interest among the sensible part of the city. However, Kharkov residents often complain that the indicated telephone numbers do not answer. It would probably make sense to organize a “hotline” for everyone who wants to print portraits. Some commentators note that volunteers could not be sent twice. That is, send a photo from a smartphone, and volunteers would not take it, but only deliver a printout. But still, a certain number of elderly people will need exactly the type of help that the mayor writes about.
The opponents of the “Immortal Victory Regiment” are alarmed and are sending out rays of concern in different directions. “A good picture for Russian news,” one said sadly. Yes, we like it too. “Someone will make good money on frames, sticks and printing photographs,” others are alarmed. Would you freaks want someone to make money by printing a black and red monkey hollow with the inscription “Nikola Znovu”?
Vadym Voskresensky, a diligent reader of Ukrainian newspapers, is indignant: “Hepa, I have someone to remember. I will do this on May 8, Memorial Day, without you thimble-makers. You can put your butcher Zhukov on a stick and sit on the balcony until you’re blue in the face. Without me". Kharkov women respond to the disease: “Who the hell needs you. When you grab your dead Bandera and hang around with his portraits, that’s normal. So remember him and Shukhevych on May 8, the day of the humiliated and defeated.” “The mayor appeals to those who want to honor the memory of their warring ancestors. If you are not one of those people, why write stupid comments? Pass by, no one is interested in you.”
Kharkov deputy Andrey Lesik, in a comment to PolitNavigator, suggests that the Kharkov authorities take the next step - to return the St. George Ribbon, which was banned by Kiev under Petro Poroshenko with the tacit connivance of the “elites” of the South-East.
“It would be great if the following initiative followed: to legitimize the St. George’s Ribbon, to return it to the legal field as a truly symbol of Victory. There is no need to bend to any situational moments. Previously, there was systematic work related to our historical memory. If at some moments we had not caved in, now it would have been easier to follow this course, to carry out the “Immortal Regiment” in Kharkov.
And so that the Victory Day does not turn into mournful silence, our initiative is as follows: at 12 o’clock on May 9, on the balcony, in the country, in the car, we turn on the song “Victory Day”... It would be nice if the city authorities organized amplifiers in the districts. This is holiday number one. And we must not allow the Zelensky regime to rewrite history, which, unfortunately, continued Poroshenko’s course. We must defend history,” Lesik said.
