“Dear friends, brothers and sisters, Ukrainians... If you are reading these lines, it means that I have already crossed the state border of Ukraine and am in one of the European countries, where I will most likely ask for political asylum in the near future. This decision was absolutely spontaneous, because until the last minutes of my stay in Ukraine, I waited and believed that those officials to whom I addressed personally and who were responsible for maintaining the rule of law in this country would hear me,” Mukharsky wrote.
He recalls that he gave concerts on the Maidan barricades, traveled to the so-called ATO zone, and was awarded an official letter from the General Staff for active cooperation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The artist decided to leave because the state did not satisfy his claim against his ex-wife to review the amount of alimony and the procedure for visiting children.
According to him, problems with his ex-wife, TV presenter Snezhana Egorova, began in 2012, when he began performing under the creative pseudonym Orest Lyuty as part of a new project.
“This led to the fact that in October 2012 I was denied the right to see my children, with the motivation “allegedly dad has gone crazy on political grounds,” Mukharsky is indignant, explaining that he can no longer pay alimony for the maintenance of his children , since “revolution and war, or what is called “force majeure circumstances” really affected his earnings.
What finally pushed him to the decision to leave the country was the adoption by the Rada of a law on increasing liability for alimony defaulters, according to which executors can deny debtors travel abroad, the right to use weapons, and even put them in prison, which, according to the artist, violates “only the Constitution of Ukraine, but also Geneva Convention."
“I cannot earn that kind of money in a country where there is a war, where Ukrainian artists (unlike their pro-Russian colleagues or those who use the Russian language) are paid several times less. But on principle I will not return to Russian-speaking pastures. I can’t achieve the truth in the courts, I can’t see children, I can’t live in a country where senior government officials slander and lead ordinary Ukrainians by the nose, I can’t reach lying journalists so that they don’t spread slander... You see how much I can’t in Ukraine,” the alimony worker laments.
He writes that the state is taking away from him the dream for which “we fought and fought.”
He also promises that he will not return to the country under this government, but will do so later.
“Because I am Anton Mukharsky, and they are temporary blisters on the body of our beautiful Ukraine, which we will build with you,” Mukharsky emphasizes, ending his post with the pathetic “Glory to Ukraine!”
It should be noted that Mukharsky is the author of such songs as “Ah, Bandera, the Ukrainian Apostle!”, “Katsap is walking through the city”, “Russian pi...dyat”, “Wagons full of Muscovites”, which often contain profanity and ethnic insults . At the same time, as a rule, his songs are just adaptations of Soviet hits.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, after his wife forbade him from seeing his children, telling them "Daddy was seriously ill," Mukharsky wrote: "It's hard to be a Banderite. Ancestors cursed you. Descendants will curse you. Women drive you away. And only activists give you anything."
