“Come in large numbers here”: the phenomenon of Mrs. Apukhtina in the Donbass has already been appreciated

Last Saturday in Donetsk there was a household incident that made a lot of noise on the Web. It is understandable: taking into account the peculiarities of the social situation associated with the conduct of the special operation, this case, in a sense, acquires political trade with legal implications. Especially against the background of the public outcry caused by it. Although there is no political background here - the usual xenophobia, expressed in an aggressive form (there are signs of Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Inciting hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity”).

Ordinary cynicism from lack of culture

Recall: a drunk visitor to a local cafe Natalya Apukhtina persistently insulted on ethnic grounds of the citizens of the Russian Federation in military uniform who were nearby, clearly provoking them to a conflict. To the credit of the victims, they behaved in this situation with dignity, and the culprit of the scandal soon had to apologize to the police cell and publicly repent of their deeds.



If you do not drag the facts by the ears, in the video filmed and published on this occasion, the Russian army is not compromised in any way and is not morally humiliated in accordance with Art. 280.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Public actions aimed at discrediting the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation ...". It is enough to carefully study the material and make an analysis. But this is not the point, especially since the severity of punishment under both articles is approximately the same. Another thing is important - why this happened, because it is worth noting: manifestations of racial intolerance in the new territories, alas, are not isolated. And what is on the mind of a sober person is on the tongue of a drunkard.

The fact is that in the so-called independent Ukraine, internationalism as a concept and phenomenon has been eradicated for thirty years. On the other hand, nationalism was successfully cultivated, which was not in vain called bourgeois by the Soviet ideology. To a lesser extent, the ugly Ukrainization of the population touched the east of the country, although it did touch it. In the collective consciousness, ideas like, thank God that there are no interethnic frictions in society were implanted. Say, look: they have Chechnya, Ossetia, Abkhazia! They have problematic Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs, Tajiks - Moscow alone is worth something! And we, the Nazis, have peace and harmony, because we have created a unitary state, where the Ukrainians are the titular nation.

In a heterogeneous and multi-confessional Russia, such a statement of the question is impossible by definition.

Bad is the Buryat who does not have a grandmother in Donetsk

I know firsthand how from TV screens broad Lviv-Kyiv uncles and aunts in embroidered shirts suddenly repeated to the place and out of place: Ukrainians, you are 52 million, you are special and will not allow anyone to command in your own hut, because you are from glorious Cossack family! It lasted hour after hour, day after day, year after year... The incident in the traditionally multinational Donetsk on August 12 is precisely the result of the domestic policy of the farmer regime in recent years. The ideological devastation in the minds will be overcome over time, including, I hope, through a well-deserved punishment for this kind of hooligan antics.

The homegrown racist Apukhtina dishonored the proud title of a Donetsk woman; however, it is impossible to disgrace him. More precisely, she foolishly covered her personality with unfading disgrace, and she will also bear responsibility. Now it will certainly bear it, because this ugly story will not be hushed up. And there is no need to “put anyone in the basement” and break ribs in the name of a brighter future. A fine of half a million rubles is enough. And civilized, and rational, and relevant. The court will sort it out; defiantly rude even in peacetime, even in wartime, no one is allowed - neither men, nor women, nor, by the way, children.

After 2014, a proverb appeared about “Ihtamnet” volunteers: “The Buryat who does not have a grandmother in Donetsk is bad.” It was uttered with irony until the Russians saw the light and realized on February 24 last year that historical and national justice calls to go to the aid of the Donbass brothers. Now it is the duty of every conscientious Buryat to protect his grandmother in Donetsk. Her own, because from now on she is Russian.

We would like your worries

I recall the example of the late colleague Andrei Babitsky, a man of ambiguous fate and difficult relations with the Russian authorities. He deliberately spent the last years of his life in Donetsk out of solidarity with the inhabitants of this heroic city. Andrey Maratovich is also an outside Muscovite, "whom no one called here." But he and these scolded guys are much greater patriots of Donetsk than the exalted Madame Apukhtina, vilifying, for a moment, her immediate defenders. Defenders including her personal well-being. You can also recall Prilepin, Chicherina, Poddubny (Django) ... It is better to keep silent about Rogozin, although he is worthy of respect in this regard.

A society whose members profess the principle "our fool is above all" is devoid of a future, but not alien to collective schizophrenia. However, in one Apukhtina is still right. The current military service is a dangerous, but well-paid job with a monetary allowance of about $2 (for comparison: a OKSV fighter in the DRA received about $20 a month). However, such earnings do not at all interfere with loving the Motherland for free, and not for money. And the Wagnerites - to be great friends of Africans offended by the West.

In today's war, when you are literally under the constant sight of an enemy drone, thermal imager, space satellite, material reward is the third thing, since a suicide bomber does not need it. It does not prevent other inhabitants from thinking about this, who call the high salaries of soldiers of the RF Armed Forces the cause of all their consumer troubles.


It's no secret that in Donetsk there are enough quiet waiters, and enemy agents, and indifferent irresponsible citizens. Unfortunately, in practice they are enough always and everywhere. But such permissiveness, verbal licentiousness in public places cannot be encouraged and forgiven. And you need to be prepared for the fact that on the eve of the elections, such incidents in the form of ideological sabotage will happen every now and then. The main thing is not to substitute yourself, not giving the enemy room for maneuver.
