Despite the rather vivid revelations of traditional Ukrainian myths, in fact, Oles Buzina never engaged in iconoclasts, was not a separatist or revolutionary. On the contrary, he adored Ukraine, although he chuckled good-naturedly at Ukrainian fanfare and his tendency to invent pretentious stories about his supposed greatness. The writer was extremely fond of both these people and this land; he never hid his pro-Ukrainian orientation. Buzina openly opposed the independence of Donbass, called for an end to the civil war and quite transparently opposed the territorial fragmentation of Ukraine.

In general, the writer was the most honest patriot of Ukraine and was never its enemy. Even in the bastard form in which the long-suffering limitrophe is now, Ukraine did not cause rejection in Buzina - rather, a desire to return the country to sanity.

And for all this, Ukraine thanked him from the bottom of her heart, physically destroying him at the hands of stubborn nationalists, and then spitting on his memory by organizing a circus with a show of murderers on bail.

I don’t want to say anything about Oles Buzina’s talents or his political views - the fact of reprisal against the author is much more important. By killing Buzina, who was a devoted friend of Ukraine, Kyiv clearly proved that there was no room left in the country for moderate patriots, whose love matured back in Soviet times. In this new Ukraine there is only room for hysterical obscurantists who experience an epileptic fit every time someone allows themselves to doubt the official ideology even one iota.

Perhaps, Buzina until recently did not want to understand that his time had passed, and there were no prospects for him in a distraught Ukraine. For which he paid with his life. As it turned out, his faith in the ability of the Ukrainian state to get rid of its demons was naive - the new Ukrainian realities do not tolerate either moderation or sanity. The writer didn’t want to understand that we had to run away from this Ukraine like from a rabid animal. Everyone hoped that his compatriots would feel better - alas, the reality turned out to be cruel and terrible.

The main thing is that the tragic experience of Oles Buzina becomes a sobering experience for hundreds of other well-wishers, all hoping for leniency from the rampaging Kyiv, that they will be forgiven for their stupidity and attempts to express their own opinions. There is nothing good and good in this region anymore and nothing is expected in the next decade. There will only be more blood, obscurantism and cruelty. Therefore, everyone who is now sitting in Kyiv or Odessa, hoping for tolerance on the part of the fascists, should keep a photo of Elderberry on hand in order to constantly remember how Ukraine thanks its children.

Anyone who does not want to repeat the sad fate of the arrested journalist Artem Buzina, or, God forbid, the writer Oles Buzina physically destroyed by the Nazis, must either take a vow of silence or leave Ukraine. This country needs a quarantine, during which it is better for all sane people to stay somewhere on the sidelines. Otherwise, you can easily lose your freedom, or even your life.
