A theatrical performance with such a plot was organized under the windows of the NBU by borrowers, who were actually deprived of the opportunity to fulfill their loan obligations to commercial banks by the record fall of the national currency.
At the meeting that preceded the presentation, its participants recalled that President Poroshenko, during the election campaign, promised to convert foreign currency loans at the NBU rate at the time of the conclusion of the agreement between the bank and the borrower, but never kept his promise.
“Tomorrow the dollar will be 20 hryvnia, then 50, and what are we going to do?” the borrowers were indignant.
The performance began with a dance performance of a woman acting as a hryvnia, decorated with national Ukrainian attributes. First, she communicated with the “National Bank”, then the “IMF” appeared, after which, with the assistance of “Dollar”, “Euro”, “Frank” and “representatives of the Ukrainian authorities”, the beating of “Hryvnia” began, which eventually fell to the ground.
However, unlike the real hryvnia, her heroine from the theatrical performance was more fortunate: the main character of the performance raised the “Ukrainian people” to the applause of the action participants. The action ended with the performance of the song-prayer “God, save Ukraine. Lord, have mercy on us."
