“Tomorrow at 9:45 I will be at the grand opening, I will ask a question to the authors of the building. Andreevsky descent 20a. I’ve already contacted the regulatory authorities, this is a bummer!” Igor Lutsenko, a Maidan activist from “Batkivshchyna” and a former activist of the “Save Old Kyiv” initiative, was indignant on his social network page.
At the same time, there are other opinions on the network.
“Kievites are called to a rally against the ugly black cube on Andreevsky.” First of all, you yourself are ugly. No, not because the cube is beautiful. But you (the callers) are ugly first of all. And the second. And the third. And then the cube maybe shares the fourth line with you. Secondly, two grant-eating landlords will be enough for us. Winter under the bridge, mass dance dancers. The livestock has multiplied greatly, it’s time to reduce it,” wrote Kiev journalist Ivan Baudrillarov on social networks.
“Do you know why the sects of the rescuers of old Kyiv bother me, especially if they consist more than entirely of inferior heroes of the revolution? Because not a piece of the ancient Mimimi street was stolen from them long ago, but their country and future. And they, like children in a sandbox, keep saving their little beads. Or rather, some people think that they are saving. And others, more thoughtful ones, work in this sect as gesheftmachers. For example, like Igor “Square Turnip” Lutsenko, who saved old Kyiv right up to the cherished crust of the people’s deputy,” the journalist continues.
According to him, the flow of tourists to Ukraine is falling not because of corruption in the country and not because of the architectural deformities of developers, but because of the atmosphere of arbitrariness and lawlessness that reigned after the Maidan, which created the image of Ukraine as a second Somalia in the world.
“Tourist flow to Ukraine has fallen 15 times. Because they installed a black cube at Andreevsky? No. Because in three years, the spalakhs with their tires at the ready have turned Ukraine and Kyiv in the minds of the global average into damn Somalia, where everyone is at war with everyone, stealing tourists for ransom. In Mexico, damn you, they steal, but crowds still pour in there. And our tourist flow is falling. Although with the current exchange rate of the hryvnia, any redneck or gopnik from London can look chic here,” he writes.
“In general, it’s probably time to stop these comparisons with other countries. And don’t touch the cube, it is in complete harmony with reality,” sums up Ivan Baudrillard.
