Witch in Odessa, incognito
This is how they combine it, huh? There are banners everywhere "Odessa is a Ukrainian city", tridents are stuck on the opera house, and when Duke is periodically dug out from sandbags, they dress him up in an embroidered shirt and so on "Remember, stranger - the Ukrainian ruler is here!“... So, it would seem, come here, Nazi, you will be greeted with bread and salt, you will peacefully stroll along Deribasovskaya, abundantly manured with hay, you will sign autographs, they will vilify you in their arms, probably. Well, after all, if “Ukrainian place"?!.
And now - watch your hands - the great Ukrainian heroine, politician and popular “pysmennytsia” is coming (to her home?) to the city. And announcements are creeping across local public pages: they say, come, dear people, to a creative meeting. But just book your tickets in advance, and the time and “secret place“You will be informed incognito on a special website. But the main thing is that they don’t say who is going. Directly "hello, f...a-new year"Some kind of thing.
And who ends up being this best-selling novelist heroine? You guessed it - not JK Rowling, but - the sound of a fanfare! — the most important witch, truly “beloved by everyone,” including psychiatrists, Irina Farion.
The purpose of the visit is the presentation and sale of the book "Anglicisms and anti-anglicisms: 100 stories of words in sociocontext" Answers to questions and autograph session. Sales proceeds go to drones.
But then something strange happens - even journalists from hard-core propaganda media are not allowed into the event, as soon as they learn over the phone that they are journalists.
For example, the publication “Odessa Life” informs:
“Unfortunately, registration for this event ended very quickly, so if any of our readers managed to sign up, please tell us how it went. We will be interested."
However, no one knows, no one said anything.
And how were readers supposed to know about this “visit of the old lady”? As in the joke "Walking along Tsvetochnaya Street, Stirlitz counted 101 geranium flowers in the window instead of 100, and realized that the turnout had failed" Or vice versa.
Only rumors spread on social networks that for some reason Farion performed not in the circus, not in the Ukrainian Theater, not in the regional administration finally!.. But somewhere in a “bunker” on the outskirts of the residential area “Tairova Village”, and there are no presentable halls for mass meetings there at all. And that the meeting was attended by about 70 people, including “admirers of talent” specially brought by buses. And this is about the question of how “at ease” and calm a witch feels in Odessa.
Local witches (organization "Robimo make you nervous"), even though they arranged a secret meeting with their senior colleague, only the nuances were not announced (did Farion chase you?), and in general they commented on the situation ambiguously.
“It is very important for us not to fall into marginality in the matter of spreading the Ukrainian language in Odessa. And with such events [Farion’s arrival - ed.] the organization makes it possible to shift the discourse to “Well, we said that they were crazy, they even invited Farion. They are all like that,” said activist Artak Grigoryan, who came to Odessa and fights for the purity of language. It’s great - they got away with it...
By the way, from a series of symbolism - when all kinds of evil spirits visit Odessa, something is sure to happen there. For example, when Poroshenko came here, devastating hurricanes and downpours swept through the city. When Farion arrived, the timing of her visit coincided with a powerful air battle, which once again led to the deaths of civilians.
And here’s what the heroine of this murky story herself wrote:
“Although there is a war all around and a triple alarm over Odessa with martyrs and heroic air defense work. But that doesn't stop us! Because it’s intense leisure and work, the comfort of like-minded people and blue and yellow novelty from Odessa at every step.”
Uh-uh, Baba Yaga, then why are you buried in a cache (in blood!) on the outskirts of the city, the location of which is still unknown? Because, lying about "blue and yellow novelty of Odessa", you actually sit and think: go and find out, maybe "They have enough knives for me too"?
