Ukrainians Cast the Gas Dispute in Collage

Battle of the Brands: Gazprom gets the finger from Naftogaz

As Russia demands the European rate for gas — while paying half the European rate for transit, cutting off supplies to Europe, and painting Ukraine as unreliable — some Ukrainians fight back.

Or, rather, paint back, as this collection of collage illustrates.

A collage based on a Tymoshenko wallpaper and a verse from Sergei Mikhalkov’s children's poem “А что у вас?” (“And What Have You Got?”):

- А у нас в квартире газ!
А у вас?
- А у нас водопровод!
Вот!

In our apartment we’ve got gas!
And what have you got?
We’ve got plumbing!
Ain’t that something?

Two years ago, the verse became a witty household joke describing the Russia-Ukraine gas war(s):

- А у нас в квартире газ!
А у вас?
- А у нас газопровод!
Вот!

In our dwelling we’ve got gas!
And what have you got?
We’ve got a pipeline!
Doesn't it sound fine?
