Катерина Кам‘янецька (або Catherine Stone, Кетрін Стоун) - головна героїня моєї історії (вона/її).
Серед чотирьох друзів дитинства, вона - єдина, хто наразі не бачив мітичне створіння під назвою Зірниця (вони/іх). Але можливо Катерина буде першою, хто потрапить у світ Зірниці і саме там її зустріне?
«Вони кличуть себе Вартовими Зірок, і зазвичай не втручаються в життя людей…Але її бачив я, і ще двоє наших спільних друзів. Що якщо тепер твоя черга?», каже Катерині її друг Мін.
Kateryna Kamianets’ka (or Catherine Stone) is the main character of my story (she/her).
Among the four childhood friends, she is the only one who has not yet seen a mythical creature called Morningstar (Zirnytsia in Ukrainian, they/them). But maybe Kateryna will be the first to get into the world of Morningstar and meet them there?
“They call themselves Star Keeper, and they usually don’t interfere in people’s lives… But I saw them, as so did two friends of ours. What if now it’s your turn?”, says Minh, one of Kateryna’s friends.
Watched a documentary about the (now legendary) football games between the national teams of russia and Ukraine in 1998 and 1999. The sheer levels of imperialistic fascism the russians were displaying leading up to those games is just typical. And yes, both those games took place before putin came to power, russians have just always been like that.
Patches and pins "russian invasion of Ukraine 1998" were popular among the russian fans leading up to the first game in Kyiv:
The rhetoric in the russian media about Ukraine not really being a separate country intensified.
For the record, russia lost that game 3:2.
But all of this is nothing compared to the second game, in Moscow in 1999. Russia needed only to win in order to move on in the tournament. Ukraine could settle with a draw. And that is when the true madness unfolded.
Probably the best known episode was this headline in one of the biggest sports newspapers in russia:
You see, they had a player with the last name "Khokhlov". So, on the surface level, the headline says, "Kick, Khokhlov, save Russia!" However, if you read out the headline, it also says "Kick [slur word for Ukrainians], save russia!". The slogan is a paraphrase of one of the main slogans of the russian Black Hundreds (ultra-reactionary, ultra-nationalist pogromist monarchist movement in the russian empire in early 20th century), only in the original versions there was the slur for Jews there instead. The russians were very proud of that pun. It was everywhere at the time.
Vladimir Putin, who was the russian prime minister at the time, was present at the game. The way the russian commentators already went out of their way to keep singing his praises for no reason is a good indicator how russians tend to make a cult of personality around everyone who happens to be a figure of authority.
And then the game finished with a draw 1:1 after an unbeliavable goal by Andriy Shevchenko (and due to a mistake from russia's goalkeeper):
Putin got really upset. He stopped showing up at such sporting events for years after this.
The bus with the Ukrainian national team got attacked on its way to the stadium before the game (according to Shevchenko, russians threw bottles at it) and especially after the game (with all sorts of objects being thrown at it, from beer bottles to rocks).
Absolutely typical. And one of the clearest views of ruscism.
This person added this asinine comment to this post, and I gotta say, not only does this kind of shit piss me off because it’s obviously not true, but what really pisses me off is when people like them put this kind of bullshit on other people’s blogs but are too fucking cowardly to say it with their whole chest on their own blog. They wanna post pretty pictures without ever letting their followers know what absolutely SHIT beliefs they are quietly harboring. So they pull chickenshit like this on other people’s posts.
OP who left this stupid ass comment hasn’t posted since the war started, but they got all the time to troll pro-Ukrainian posts. 😒
I get this kind of bs from pro-Russia bloggers all the time and I always say Imma call them out when they do shit like this, but I never get around to doing it. But today, I got time.
Russia is the aggressor. Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine did not invade Russia. Russian is targeting civilians, apartment buildings, schools, churches and hospitals … with lethal bombs and weapons. The Russian army is raping women and abducting thousands of young children and putting them into “re-education camps” where they teach them how to be Russian—literally one of the definitions of genocide. And because I know how brain dead tankies can get on this website, NO, Ukraine wasn’t in NATO when Russia started its war on Ukraine, and NO, Ukraine wasn’t even applying for membership to NATO when they were invaded by Russia.
But Ukrainians and their neighbors would be crazy not to want to be in NATO now.
It ain’t Russophobia, it’s consequences.
Anyway,
