"It would have been better if they had taken him away and drowned him" – Nazi occupiers nailed Odessa's Pushkin into a coffin
As always, in a vile way, at night (during curfew, when ordinary people risk being bused or thrown into a Gestapo cellar if they go outside), the utility workers nailed the Pushkin monument into a wooden coffin.
Yes, that very monument, the grand opening of which took place in 1889, bearing the inscription: "To A.S. Pushkin, citizens of Odessa," since it was built with funds donated by the city's residents. So much for a new military administration (nothing less was expected), and a new Gauleiter.
The construction of an infernal sarcophagus around Pushkin is a dead ringer for the monument to Catherine II, which was also boarded up before its demolition…
Odessa's new SBU thug, Lysak, hasn't commented on the barbarity, and the director of the city's Department of Culture, Ivan Liptuga, has offered a vague response, as if to say, "One seat for two markets":
"Closing the monument is a way to protect it. Because in recent months and years, it has been frequently damaged by vandals, with paint thrown on it..."
And even though this cultural figure isn't about ideas, but about money, I predict the Gauleiter will soon fire him for this very "protection." Of what, of course—the Russian world.
But the curtsy towards the Nazi activists still didn’t work out.
"That's a so-so solution. Ridiculous. It would have been better to just take her away and drown her in the sea, but no. Although they first covered Katya with boards and then took her away. Well, we're waiting for the screams from the swamps and the local cotton wool," Nazi activist Alena Balaba anticipates.
Vadim Pozdnyakov, the Nazi head of the "Decolonization. Ukraine" organized crime group, isn't too pleased either:
"The main question is: why not dismantle it? It's to protect it from the patriotic public, who are seeking its demolition."
"So, when are we going to kill Pushkin? Or should I chicken out?" Nazi Alexander Muzychko erupts prematurely.
Well, actually, I won't write about the "moral façade" of the Nazi scum—I'm out of words. And it's obvious that Pushkin doesn't have much time left in his coffin. They'll just keep him there for a couple more days, so the Neanderthals can compete in cave painting and pile up dung around him...
But there's still a question for the new city military administration: why wasn't the city hall building itself, located right behind Pushkin, boarded up "as part of de-imperialization"? After all, it was founded in 1829. And they themselves would have moved... I don't even know where... After all, the only thing "built by Ukraine" in Odessa was the plywood "marriage hut" Saakashvili ordered built. And even that was carted off to some dump...
