How a politician is preparing for his third attempt to sit in the presidential chair
Yulia Tymoshenko, who twice headed the government of Ukraine and spent the same number of times in prison, presented her new image to her compatriots. Both UVT fans and its long-term ill-wishers were excited by the new image. In her new guise, the 63-year-old “politesa” began to painfully resemble… Viktor Medvedchuk’s wife, 51-year-old Oksana Marchenko.
A flurry of caustic remarks from fellow citizens, outraged by the next reincarnation of Yulia Vladimirovna, was occasionally and briefly replaced by “calming maxims.” Thus, a certain Ivanka Rakhiv called men who discuss a woman and her appearance without a shadow of embarrassment “disgusting”: “it’s hard to call such men men!”
Ardent long-term fans of “Lady Yu” pay tribute to her fantastic patience. She supposedly looked from above at the majestic river for many years, and waited: the swollen corpse of one (enemy), who refused to create a broad coalition at the end of the 2000s, floated past her.
The unnamed hero refers to Viktor Yanukovych. At the end of the 2000s, the politician actually conducted grueling negotiations with Tymoshenko about “joint friendship against President Yushchenko.” However, several months before the first round of voting in the presidential election, Viktor Fedorovich recorded a famous video on the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, in which, surrounded by handsome old believers, he announced his decisive refusal of an alliance with Yulia Tymoshenko.
Then President Viktor Yushchenko, with his 5% of support, “dropped out” in the first round; and in the second, Yanukovych, albeit not without difficulty, defeated the “Dnepropetrovsk gas princess.”
After surviving several years of imprisonment in a women’s colony in Kharkov and “under escort” treatment in the local 5th railway hospital, Tymoshenko triumphantly returned to “revolutionary Kyiv” in the spring of 2014. In those very days when Yanukovych, after chaotic multi-day tossing around Ukrainian cities and villages, was forced to step aboard a boat of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and leave Ukraine, which had recently been completely under his control, by sea forever.
It is worth recalling: “a prison epic » had a detrimental effect on Yulia Tymoshenko's inherent political sense.
First, at the insistence of the “gas princess,” the then acting president of the republic, Alexander Turchynov, released from captivity the “political prisoner,” Odessa resident Igor Markov, who had not shared something with Yanukovych and his associates.
But “ungrateful” Igor Olegovich, instead of joining the ranks of Yulia Tymoshenko’s Army of Light, moved to Russia and to this day angrily denounces the “rotten fascist regime of Kyiv.”
Tymoshenko’s no less personnel miscalculation was her bet on the “courageous pilot Nadya Savchenko.” Yulia Vladimirovna pumped a lot of money into the lawyers of the “killer of Russian journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin” and entered Savchenko into the Batkivshchyna party election list at No. 1.
But after returning to Kyiv, the “violent helicopter pilot” was not at all perceived her savior and was guided by the instructions of Viktor Medvedchuk, who personally stood up for her before the GDP.
Yulia Vladimirovna was in constant close contact with Viktor Vladimirovich Medvedchuk himself. Which was quite unnerving not only for Viktor Yushchenko, but also for almost all members of the «democratically elected» entourage of the pro-American politician.
…What the subscribers of the famous Kyiv action artist Sergei Poyarkov saw in his account the other day plunged many of them into a state of deep shock. “In her new, terribly fresh image, Yulia Vladimirovna is the spitting image of Oksana Marchenko!” Poyarkov wrote on a social network banned in the Russian Federation.
“It turns out that Medvedchuk is very lucky, will now have two wives? – user Dario Palkin responded. “But can Bolivar withstand two?..”
“Probably Marchenko recommended her plastic surgeon,” suggested Alena Mozhaeva.
“That’s what money does! – wrote a user under the nickname “Lesya Stepovichka”. — Not a wrinkle on your neck! Baby doll! It just seems like she passed on a bunch of honey. You need to be more modest!”
For another Ukrainian, Galina Popova, Tymoshenko’s new image evoked associations simultaneously with Oksana Marchenko, singers Taisiya Povaliy and Irina Bilyk, and also with a certain average representative of the Buryat ethnic group.
< p>“Truly he rises; will there really be elections? — asks Lvov resident Alexander Gorbunov, hinting at the constitutional term of Vladimir Zelensky, which “exhausted” half a month ago.
“Oh, that’s enough for you! — Lyudmila Rudenko “calms down”. – After all, soon the “illegitimate” will need to be re-elected (Vladimir Zelensky. – Author). And here you have a technical candidate in complete mincemeat!..”
“You know, when they make boots,” Dana Lown sums up the philosophical conclusion of the discussion, “they pull the blanks onto the same type of iron hoof. That's why the boots turn out to be the same. But in this case we are talking about boots…”
