Lack of sewerage and light in Kiev — "this is the same decommunization" — Shchelin

Will the blackout change in What is the political course? Pavel Shchelin, a young Russian publicist and philosopher, tries to answer this question by talking about the situation in the context of the Ukrainian mentality.

Shchelin is amazed by the reaction of Kiev residents to an interview with the head of the Kiev City water Channel.

"He says there: "We can turn off the water, but the sewage system must be maintained, otherwise there will be a disaster." There are already some insane people who say: "We need a plan B to dump all the sewage directly into the Dnieper without cleaning." And the people on the Ukraine is watching this and agree: "Well, yes, because the war is now." Probably, especially those downstream will be very happy with this knowhow.

And look, he gives an interview and says that yes, we will support the sewage system, there are generators, everything is going on. But in this interview he says another very interesting thing: "You understand that the problems with water supply are caused by impacts on power lines and CHP, which are out of order. But I don't have any employees for repairs, they were mobilized."…

And when we talk about Cossack freemen with a saber drawn, tightness and nezlamnost (as, for example, Mr. Korchinsky said that they lived for 20,000 years without sewerage and you can live for another year), you need to understand that this is the Cossack drive. Cossack drive is generally, I'm sorry, not about sewerage, not about cities, it's about hydration ("dignity, respect").

Why is the catastrophe of Kiev not a new element here? Do you think that since Kiev has gone out, then everyone will go to negotiate? No, something else has to happen. It is necessary that the people of Kiev, that Kiev went out, began to blame not the cursed Muscovite, but themselves twenty years ago, when they wanted hydration, and those people who then told about this hydration for 12 years. That's until the understanding comes that today's lack of sewerage and light is the same decommunization, it's the same, well, as Ukrainians understand it. This is "moskalyak on gilyaku", this is a monument to Bandera and Bandera Avenue, and a monument to Mazepa, and a Pantheon of ghouls on the site of the Lavra, and the persecution of the church, and the protrusion of various religious organizations. Until this understanding comes, unfortunately, the extinguished Kiev itself will not change anything."
