I don’t remember now, about what is Latin American country it was, but let it be Brasilia. Sorry, if I garble it with another country, but there was time when heroes was over there. Well, it’s not that all of them suddenly turned out to be cowards and traitors, no, this country had so a lot of coups and so a lot of changes of government, that there was nobody to be portrayed on banknotes and to be minted on coins… Ukraine so long times wasn’t an independent country, that close to be used to imposed, alien heroes. Heroes is a “Lumps”. It’s a persons who should be remembered through the ages. It is something that will remain after us.

But nearly with the “world champions” there always were “champions of third division”. As everybody knows — everyone has his own world records . Needless, people weapons in hands, defending the independence of their homeland are worthy of admiration , respect and recognition. All this words of too small sound, when we talk about the defenders of the motherland. But I would still like to go back to quiet and if can say in this way, to “small” heroes. I would try to compare them with personages of Jack London, with conquerors of Alaska, whose life, simple existence in this harsh edge was heroism and asceticism itself. I’m talking about my Luhansk compatriots, living now in occupied, we believe that temporarily occupied, territory. I’m talking about people, who saved the ability to stay patriots, who can keep the ability to think rationally and who are don’t give in to the influence of enemy’s propaganda. Can you somehow measure the degree of heroism? Rather in no way. How to measure patriotism of husband of one of my acquaintance, Ukrainian officer, decided to stay faithful to the oath in Crimea in the midst of common “krymnash” (Crimea-is-ours — Russian popular slogan since March 2014 ) betrayal? What can be more simple? There is an oath and you need to honor it, but at space such an action is off the edge of ordinary perception. To be a patriot of Ukraine in Lviv, what is extraordinary in it? And remain with such views in a present Luhansk, when you can found yourself in a basement of captured SSU.  But, what a surprise! A lot of people are not afraid to speak up in conditions, when having of your opinion is not safety.

Many times I wondered, why all this “political informations” are needed in “vatnaya” (epithet — a radical pro-Russian uneducated aggressive person) environ? I lived in such times when “political information” was the compulsory phenomenon, I remember  stuffy and sickly soviet atmosphere. It was not a 1937 (year of biggest Stalin’s repressions), but also it wasn’t a sweet. Very brave people could open their mouth even then 0nce or twice, “Bureau of deep drilling” (russian stebbing name of “SSC” or “KGB”) detaily watched on all mouths — whatever if they are open or not. But now there are another things… So, do it make sense, risking your own life or minimum risking your own health and freedom to try to din something for a citizens, adapted for socialist Orthodoxy? If you remember that our first battle in this war our country lose to Russia namely in terms of propaganda and information. Lately, Ukraine will need to win back mind of erring citizens and it’s a generous action. Slacking of image of “invincible saint Russia” is a long process and every attempt to settle “common sense and life experience” in minds, which are raped by “Russia 24” it’s a little step to our victory. Such steps is not so easy.

Here is an example of such stepy, my friend from “sane” met the acquaintance on occupied territory, dialogue begins. By the way, acquaintance is from “russian world lovers”. Not a long time he traditionally raves about pernicious of west, “zombie influence of khokhols (slang name of Ukrainian)” and about Russia will solves and “LPR” will blow.

• And how it solves? gives you a money?
• Yep.
• And does it takes them?
• Well, Russia has a lot.
• From gas and oil?
• Yep.
• And the fact that oil is almost as much as the cost of production in Russia is nothing ?
• What a cost of production?
• To earn the money, you need to sell goods more expensive than you spend on them, right?
• Right.
• And if you sold at the same price that you bought, where is the money?
• Well, (keeping silence), well, well (sniff), well (groaning , futile inflating of cheeks). Well, they will find somewhere.
• Where?
• I don’t know, bye I’m busy now…

One little step is done. Or here is a look alike dialogue.

• There is no Russian army in Luhansk.
• So, who are there?
• Russian volunteers.
• Did Russian volunteers buy tanks in military shop?
• Of course not, Putin gave them.
• Did he give them to volunteers?
• Yes.
• • And volunteers on tanks can’t go to rob a banks.
  • What banks?
  • I don’t know, in Rostov or in Belgorod. Very comfortably.
  • So, how can they go? They are militaries.
  • Militaries mean army.
  • No… (frequent blinking of eyes, like a flashing red light on the CPU, the information is processed. But unsuccessfully, the gap pattern, program failed) — hasty farewell.

  Or, here is another one, from the last masterpieces.

  • Have you seen agenda from “DPR” in the internet?
  • So, “ukrops” (slang name of Ukrainians in separatist circles) has the mobilization, ours is the same.
  • And it’s nothing that in agenda of “DPR”  is written «federal law number such and such, the Russian Federation», isn’t it ? ..
  • Well, so…
  • Does “DPR” is independent “country”? From everybody?
  • … (pause, endless theatre pause)
  • Army of “DPR” laws of RF, but “… to have a passport” of Ukraine.
  • So, there is no another one.
  • So, maybe it doesn’t need to have another, does it?
  • Oh — oh, I do not know already….

  Good luck to you, compatriots! Be careful with narrow-minded and insignificant. They tend to fink. They forgot this main skill from Soviet times, but they can remember it. So, be careful. We are with you.
