Report of the Colorado Cockroach. A strange holiday without smiles
So, October 14. Very strange day.
We have a lot of holidays on this day. For all tastes - the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin, the Day of the Ukrainian Cossacks, the Day of the Establishment of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, the Day of Defender ...
Many holidays, as you can see, for every taste.
I will not write a lot today. Probably enough to list the most important events. We prayed for the autocephaly, tried to demolish the monument to the Soviet general, marched the nationalists, lost some short-haired “seminarians” from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (the police took) ...
I'll start with prayer. Morning. Sofia square. Quote from the performance of the Hydrant:
“Finally, the Ecumenical Patriarchate finally declared illegal the Moscow annexation of the Kiev Metropolis, carried out as early as the end of the 17 century. They clearly and unequivocally stated that the ROC does not have canonical rights to the Orthodox Church in Ukraine, that our Orthodox Church is not subject to the ROC”.
"The unification of the three churches into the United Local Ukrainian Orthodox Church is a voluntary process. However, the Church of the Moscow Patriarchate does not have the right to be called Ukrainian."
Penetrating and praying, they went to administer sensible, good and eternal. That is, once again to demolish the monument to General Vatutin. But then there was a bummer in full.
The fact that OUN activists are going to "damage the Soviet idols as much as possible" was known for a long time. On their pages on the Internet, they boasted quite a lot about it. So the police prepared for the meeting. Then a word to the head of the Kiev police Andrei Kryshchenko:
“When activists tried to commit active actions, the police pushed aside, we withdrew the equipment, we will return it, it is not prohibited.” "The monument to Vatutin is a symbol of the totalitarian era, but there is a legislative act that this is a mass grave, and therefore the monument cannot be demolished."
The chief of the metropolitan police added that he had requested the Kiev authorities to solve the problem with the monument: "Or transfer, or in another way." In general, all that the haters were capable of was a few eggs from afar.
Generally, the police had. And she did not just stand, demonstrating her presence, but worked. Apparently, the upcoming elections were the cause.
I think the general would be pleased with so many guards.
Now about the "seminarians". Police said they detained a man near the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra of 122. A group of men of sports appearance of different ages in the morning concentrated on the territory of the monastery.
"Believers complained that these guys are creating a flea market in front of the Assumption Cathedral. They obviously did not come to pray there."
The detainees did not resist and voluntarily got into the paddy wagons. Some of them told law enforcement officers that they were seminarians.
A memorial to those who died in the war with Russia has been opened on the territory of the Ministry of Defense. The complex consists of the Hall of Memory, in which there is a book of memory with the names of the dead servicemen, and a stele with a bell.
In the days when the defenders of Ukraine died, the bell would be sounded as many times as the soldiers died. Four days a year, when there were no casualties on the front, the bell will be silent. On the opening day of the Memorial, the bell struck once.
Well, the most interesting. The festive procession of our beloved nationalists.
Representatives of the nationalist and right-wing forces gathered in the afternoon near Shevchenko Park in the center of Kiev. Leaders of the National Corps, the Right Sector, Freedom, the OUN, the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists spoke before the gathering. Also, veteran UPA 92-year-old Theodor Dyachun addressed the participants.
And before the march, the participants of the ATO staged a football tournament. I note the fact of who won, honestly speaking, was not interested. There are all the "winners".
The march of nationalists gathered about fifteen thousand participants. The column was led by the participants of the ATO, followed by the leaders of the nationalist forces. I specifically considered the slogans on the march. “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!”, “Moskalyaku to Gіlyaku”, “One united conciliar Ukraine”, “Bandera is our hero!”, “Ganba!”, “To the Knives”, “Bouda Ukraine vіlna”, “Pam'yatay, stranger - here is the Lord of Ukraine. "
Already on the march a banner was noticed: "Turn Ukraine to Ukraine." The march ended on European Square, where a concert is scheduled for the Day of Defender of Ukraine. Later, on the European Square, they sang the hymn of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) “They were born a great year”.
Some personal observations. At the beginning of the article, I wrote about a large number of October 14 holidays. And on holidays, people rejoice. Pay attention to those celebrating. Not a single happy, smiling physiognomy. These are the faces of the fighters before the attack. Or those of criminals before the beginning of the "case". Your choice. Go.
Yes, there were a lot of pyrotechnics, fire boxes were distributed like grenades on the front lines. But - characteristically - not one flew through the window or anywhere else. Everything was very well organized.
In some photos you will see children with blue flags with the words "National Corps". Do not look that most of the demonstrators are in childhood. This is not your "Unarmia". It is an ultra-right, ultra-radical organization that has become a party and even has 2 seats in the Rada.
The Corps was created by Andrei Biletsky from the “Azov” battalion on the basis of the public organization “The Civil Corps“ Azov ”. With all the ensuing consequences.
A kind of school for Avakov militants from the National Guard, who are the next stage. Compare on a photo the faces of representatives of the corps and the squads. Wolfy and wolves! Honestly, I didn’t want to approach these “superhumans” ...
Sweetie, right? There is even such a skeptic, as I do not doubt a penny that such as this centurion, will lead us where it should be. In a sense, in a bright future. I have only one question here: in the future, what will they shine with?
Police special forces were as usual, for the Rada. But, unlike the previous gatherings, the police worked yesterday, beyond all praise. And everyone felt it. From all these fighters to simple onlookers. A good training before the election ...
Speaking of symbolism. I do not know whether you paid attention to the abundance of various flags, uniform jackets, chevrons, uniforms. Even the "Right Sector" (banned in Russia) in this mass is not too noticeable. But noticeable.
By the way, pay attention to the age of pravosekov. These are not football fans, not children who have difficulty with their brains. These are men 40 plus. Those that should already be able to think. And have convictions!
Note. Flags of the veteran organization of the participants of the ATO, the chevrons of one of the battalions of the "Right Sector".
And the last. Some flags express not even the symbolism of the organization, but its main ideas. Pay attention to the EU flag in the hands of supporters Yarosh. EU flag crossed out by a red cross.
Do you know what this means? We have our own way and with the EU we are not on the way. In contrast, for example, from the same Tymoshenko, whose election platform now says that "Our future is in the EU, our defense is in NATO."
And now I once again invite everyone to look at the joyful faces of the celebrating people. Can't see? Okay, I don't see either. I see people who came to declare that they are. And you can not argue with that. One can only carefully look at the faces and emblems. And draw conclusions.
True, you thought the same thing as me? Okay, continue.
Spiritualized face, yes?
And so?
Persons, I repeat, look at faces!
Nice, right? Ukrainian Zhinki also united in the name of ... Oh, I will not say anything. You know yourself who is my editor at home. The only thing I will note is that these are completely appropriate here. And the matter is not only in caps from the OUN-UPA (although it was well sewed), but in the charter of the Yavorina organization, which someone, by its laziness, simply copied from the charter of one women's organization called NSF ... And acted in the Third Reich ...
And I want to finish the material is not quite a festive conclusion. Nationalists and all these ultras are no longer children. It is not a cub. They are experienced, wolves who tried in blood in the Donbas.
And if we are talking about a fight (well, you often speak in your comments), you need to fight them in an adult way. Cruel and without regard to humanism and other "democratic values". The authorities they will not give up. I am very sorry to say this, but our "holiday" showed just that.
Compare photos of the corps and the squad ... Schoolchildren and fighters. And already trained and ready to fight on the orders of the centurion. Straight Germany 30-ies of the last century.
The only thing that comforts is that the 15 of thousands of 3 000 000 is still not so much. And the main part of the Kiyans are not shy away from the head with a Freedom prapor and are not pounding their heads against the icon with Bandera. This is also a fact.
