Kiev

Map

May 10–12, 2015


Aeroflot is vigorously jerking the Ukrainians’ chain. On the one hand, they’re handing out wet wipes to passengers emblazoned with the ribbon of St George, which Ukrainians are now allergic to. On the other hand, all of the announcements made over the loudspeakers are repeated in Ukrainian (“We wish you a pleasant flight”). Never had that before.

VICTORY! 70 YEARS


Upon arrival the campaigning is anti-Soviet — the poppy represents an outright rejection of Soviet symbols.

1939-1945
We honour
We prevail


Even the Motherland Monument figure, who holds a shield bearing the USSR state emblem, is wearing a flower crown made of poppies.


Mantras.

GLORY TO THE HEROES! The Heaven’s Hundred Heroes never die...


For the time being you can only realise your dreams on a commercial basis.

EU residence permits


The spell worked.

Yanik Gobf is a cunt


Don’t say “homos”, call them “gay people” instead. That’s funny — I thought there was a different term for that.

We’re free because we’re well-informed.
Your respect for someone shouldn’t depend on their sexual orientation.
Homos. Gays. Say it right.


I love Ukrainian ornaments and vyshyvanka embroidered shirts.

Ukrainian vyshyvanka ornaments for your car and other surfaces! Available on white or transparent adhesive film


Another mantra.

Olga Dukhnich.
I am a citizen of Ukraine! Crimea is Ukraine!


I am trying to figure out why Ukrainian soldiers always cover their faces. It’s particularly strange given that the caption says “fearless”. Are you fearless? Then show your face!

Spirited and fearless Glory to Ukraine!


Lenin was here.

Lenin


Second-rate graffiti.


The sign says “shelter”. Such signs can now be spotted all over Kiev; they’re preparing the people for the aggressor’s offensive. Shelter


Meanwhile, it’s business as usual at Sberbank Russia.

Sberbank Russia



Ukrainian flags are popping up everywhere.


All kinds of surfaces are being given a lick of light blue and yellow paint.


Bollards.


Roadside fences.


Apartment block entrance doors.


Cobblestones on Independence Square still haven’t been replaced — they were all ripped out and used for throwing.


However, they’ve already put in neat tourist information kiosks.
