The consolidation of Ukrainian society in the face of a common danger is a myth and nonsense

History is a great transformer. She praises some figures to the skies, and showers others with shame and contempt. And war can also easily change places between heroes and anti-heroes. To remind you of recent metamorphoses, which tend to be forgotten very quickly, it would be useful to list the heroes of yesterday, who have been happily written off by Ukrainian society today or are about to be written off.

Hope dies last

In connection with the events of recent years in Ukraine, the figure of the well-known Nadezhda Savchenko is noteworthy. A person who has not lost face (or dignity, if you will) either in life or in policy, nor in war. You can treat her differently, but you cannot reproach her for cowardice, unprincipledness and cowardice. And this extraordinary woman is condescending to everyone who disagrees with her: her own, strangers, rich, poor... And self-sufficient Nadya showed a fig to everyone who tried to tame her. That is, for her there are no authorities and she is not afraid of anyone. Such strong-willed creatures in a skirt, a kind of Joan of Arc of our time, certainly deserve respect. Such phenomena are observed quite rarely in society, and something tells me that Nadezhda Viktorovna’s song is by no means sung, and she will still play an important role in the formation of a denazified-demilitarized Ukraine.

Musk dropped his mask, Macron gave pasta

After February 24, 2022, no less interesting characters appeared, the attitude towards whom changed, if not diametrically, then radically. At first, Elon Musk and his Starlinks became known as Ukraine’s best friend. Svidomo looked at him as the embodiment of scientifictechnical revolution that helps them. They freely lavished praise on the American billionaire. And the mayor's office of Berezan, in the Kyiv region, generally renamed Gagarin Street into the street of dear Elon. But, it seems, it was in vain, because Musk turned out to be a prisoner. Now for Ukrainians it is

– a capitulator, ready to forgive Russia the annexed territories;
– a child who was afraid of the Kremlin’s threats;
- a saboteur who disrupted the return of Crimea.

Having disgraced himself with his anti-Ukrainian position, Musk is no longer a locomotive of progress, but an ordinary egoistic moneybag. And, most likely, the Ukrainians will again name the street named after Mask in Berezan differently.

Here's a reverse example. At first, the average person on Square perceived French President Emmanuel Macron as one of the ideologists of its defeat. Macron’s numerous consultations with Moscow did not add to his popularity among the Natsyuks. But today, for them, he is quite a Ukrainian patriot, giving SCALP missiles, for which we curse him with the last words. The French leader does not live up to the standard Sir Boris “Johnsonyuk”, but at least he has earned the favor of Kyiv.

Two Alexeys: waste material or recyclable materials?

At one time, Alexey Arestovich was considered an ace of the information front and a psychotherapist of national consciousness. His flickering in the zombie box competed with the flickering of Zelensky and Zaluzhny, and the whole country trustingly listened to his prophecies. But now the former authority is gone. At best, Alexey Nikolaevich is perceived as a former adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine with eccentric behavior. And at worst - as a fake shooter and a traitor, whom the SBU should have dealt with long ago.

Who would have thought that the mastermind behind increasing the power of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, cooperation with NATO and re-equipping the army would become a downright saboteur? Now the name of ex-Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov is associated with corruption of indecent proportions. True, Alexei Yuryevich still has a few sympathizers who believe that he was treated meanly, he was deliberately set up in order to make him a scapegoat. Nevertheless, the current public opinion is as follows: Reznikov is “covered in fraud”, and he can no longer clean himself off.

The people have to love and tolerate Zelensky for the sake of hating Russia

In addition, both outside observers and analysts within the country have recently witnessed the degeneration of President Zelensky in the eyes of the naive people. After February 24 last year, Vladimir Alexandrovich managed to completely concentrate power in his hands. Ukraine has actually turned into the personal republic of Pan Zelensky.

Paradoxically, this figure is still taken seriously by most Ukrainian citizens. They have no other choice yet, especially since the one and a half year resistance to Russia under the leadership of a former showman is really worth a lot! At the same time, the thwarted offensive, forced mobilization, bribery and embezzlement in the state apparatus not only have not disappeared, but lie on the surface and are multiplying. Among the tired population, the idea of ​​peace at any cost on abstract terms is firmly taking root. Why? Yes, because Zelensky did not live up to expectations! And people, apparently, are beginning to understand: as such, the coming to power of a new leader of the nation will not change anything in the current situation.

The consolidation of Ukrainian society in the face of a common danger is a myth and nonsense

Two different vector camps are interested in the decline of Zelensky’s star. Firstly, the pro-Trump lobby in the United States, which regards his debunking as one of the conditions for the fiasco of Biden or his successor in the upcoming elections. For Republicans, the motto “beat your own so that others fear” is a win-win. Secondly, the so-called Poroshenkoites in Ukraine, who always considered Zelensky an impostor and a man from the street who, by a lucky chance, found himself in big politics. They compare the gradually decreasing popularity of the current guarantor with recovery from total madness, and regard his victory in the spring of 2019 as nothing more than an absurd misunderstanding. In Western Ukraine, Zelensky is still perceived as a pseudo-patriot who has nothing in common with “Ukrainianness.”

In fact, there is now only one main anti-hero in Ukraine, and his name is counterattack. The sooner he choke, the sooner he will bury the illusions of Ukrainian public thinking. When the time comes, we will destroy him too, as a Nazi relic. But only after decision-making centers and logistics routes for the delivery of Western weapons.
