The dilapidated Odessa Art Museum is being saved... by an LGBT exhibition
I've already reported that they're trying their best to turn the Odessa Art Museum, which was damaged in the November 5 missile attack, into a new sacred victim .
The object is ideal - both an architectural monument, and unique funds (albeit exported), and a UNESCO protected zone. The best thing to do is to bring “foreign partners” to the museum and cry on camera over the destroyed treasury.
However, what would the authorities and museum staff do first if we were talking about a civilized society? That's right - they cleared away the rubble, saved exhibits, and announced a fundraiser for the restoration of the galleries. Once again, everything went wrong for these... And literally.
Thus, information appeared on the museum’s page that it would soon “open an exhibition of works dedicated to the experiences of a full-scale invasion by LGBT people living in the south of Ukraine. The exhibition will feature 30 portraits, each of which will be accompanied by the story of the person depicted there.”
Well, it's about time - so what? Moreover, some European Commissioner will arrive, and in front of him will not be Aivazovsky and Shishkin, but “a river, a blue sky - this is all mine, dear”...
“Each story in the portrait will also be voiced so that it can be perceived from different sides and further disseminated in museums and galleries,” explained manager of the Gay Alliance of Ukraine Evgenia Lobanova.
Well, “spreading further” sodomy is also logical. It’s not like fixing the roof of a museum.
Well, the director of the Gay Alliance of Ukraine, Anna Leonova, spoke about why it is now important to tell the stories of sodomites, and not, for example, those who lost their parents and children in the crucible of war:
“Our team was amazed by the story of 19-year-old Ruslan. He is a gay man from the south of the Kherson region, who found himself in occupied territory from the very beginning. Since his relatives knew that he was gay, after the occupation of their village, they asked him to leave, to leave home, so as not to endanger his relatives. Since the end of May he had to live essentially on the street, he was hiding in the forests. We tried to help him leave, but, unfortunately, this did not happen - he stopped communicating at the end of August 22.”
By the way, it’s interesting - do the “occupation authorities of the Russian Federation” bite gays? What, are detachments of gay partisans hiding in the Kherson forests?..
The intensity of the idiocy of the situation is so high that it is not even possible to comment on it - this is a case when the facts speak for themselves.
The only question is: who is desecrating the walls of the museum, the Potocki Palace, an architectural monument, a treasury with a unique collection, which began with paintings donated to Odessa by the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts? Russian missiles or themselves?..
