Topless FEMEN v. Yanukovych-'Bulls'-Get-Everything Pension Reform

Fools get the casket, bulls get the cash.



Looks like FEMEN got a kick out of it. And so did the cops.

If only they could move as fast as Yanukovych.

Yanukovych Walks Pro-Govt Reporters Through His Mezhyhirya Residence

He’s just a guy next door.



Enjoy this long-anticipated but kind of limited-view tour! Get the big picture here.

The show hit the airwaves last night (Constitution Day). Prime time. On just about every major channel.


Out-jogging Tymoshenko

Yanukovych: I believe that every person has the right to a private…life, and there are some areas, like — it’s...doesn’t matter if it’s a politician or not a politician, see — that belongs [sic] to him. And he doesn’t want someone invading…

Kulykov (ICTV): Today, we’ve sneaked a peek into your private life.

Yanukovych: ...to...tou...touching [them]. Well, I do allow…it’s on my permission. I don’t allow just anyone...

Kulykov: And considering...considering...

Yanukovych: ...just anyone. I allow — and every person allows — those whom they allow...those, uh, one has respect for, certain trust in, and you know that this person, they, so to speak, don't carry a big chip on their shoulder. Same with me. I’m like everybody else.

“I’m like everybody else.” Why not put it on this wall?

Yanukovych Wants to ‘Make New Tragedies Possible’

WW II cost Ukraine dearly. At least 7 million Ukrainians died while another 2.2 million worked as slaves.

June 22 marks the 70th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union. Let’s hear what Yanukovych has to say about this.

Yanukovych: It is our debt of honor to those who died to overcome the shadows of the past, to make new tragedies possible. Challenges to Ukraine’s peaceful future will be met with an immediate and harsh response, no matter where these efforts may come from.

Unemozhlyvyty, umozhlyvyty, who cares? As long as I’m in charge. Hell, I can even mint my own coins!


But that’s not enough to keep some of my supporters happy.




Even those who get paid to appear at my courtroom rallies get pissed.

Or maybe by “tragedies” I meant Tymoshenko?








What are you gonna do? Charge me with smoking?

PM Azarov Adores Rent-a-Crowd Rallies

“Hold on with the pics ‘cause we don’t know the lines yet.”



Anyway, if you like Azarov, wave your flag and learn the damn lines!

And don't forget to buy him a bunch of these inflatables.



They look like real reforms, don’t they?

Buy him a whole Potemkin village. Give Washington something to praise!

'Very Impressive!' Says Rep. David Dreier (R-CA) of Tymoshenko MP's iPad 2

Very impressive? Hell no! It's business as usual.



Instead of leveling with grassroots Ukraine, U.S. lawmakers turn to Tymoshenko and her golden boys.

• Never mind that Ukraine's on the verge of default (due in part to Tymoshenko’s gas negotiation skills).

• Never mind that Yanukovych's consumer basket falls short of that extended to German POWs under Stalin.

• Never mind that the iPad 2 equals 3 months of work for the average Ivan in Ukraine.

• Never mind that it’s this type of elitist affluenza that ruined Tymoshenko's presidential bid in 2010.

Since then, Tymoshenko has gone on Twitter, but hasn't learned a lot, has she? And neither has her Western fan club.

Yanukovych Puts Ukraine Behind the Iron Curtain

Ta-da! (4:20)



That's the Iron Curtain that separates Yanukovych from the rest of Ukraine.

And don't you come rallying outside. Not even on Journalists' Day! The guy who runs the nearby village of Novi Petrivtsi went to court to ban rallies.

Reporters then invented this smart excuse: We're here to see if the court order is carried out.

Meanwhile, in Donetsk...



If you got a problem with Yanukovych's eldest son building a parking lot in your backyard, you get beaten by his goons. Now you know why he named his construction company MAKO.

And here's the good news: Ukraine has finally completed the Fool And His Nukes Are Soon Parted program. As of June 8, 2011, there's no enriched uranium left.

It's time for the International Maids Fu** to ship more enriched oligarchium.

FEMEN’s Topless Oleksandra Shevchenko Recites Taras Shevchenko’s Poetry

Quite a patriotic comeback after that creepy photo shoot with an anti-Ukrainian douche bag?

Politically, Ukraine seems to have fallen into a siesta.

If you’re a journalist and you’re outside Yanukovych’s Mezhyhirya residence on Journalists’ Day, you get the cake and flowers.





He forgot the sleeping pills, didn't he?

$50K Outhouses? Donetsk Orders 10!

No shit.



For that much tax money, you can pack your shitter with all kinds of platinum, Swarovski, wash’n’dry-your-ass stuff.

Or...you can buy a brand new SUV.

Dear IMF,

Please don’t stop. Keep the dinero coming. Help our government pay an extra $150M for every oil rig it buys. Help them hire US law firms to investigate things.

We can always pay you back. We have shitloads of national wealth to spread around. Nukes? Grain? Cash? Maids? Name it and claim it.

P.S. Can you lend him a netbook or something? Too much to ask?

Fenced Crowds, Sand Storm as Yanukovych Visits Uzhhorod

Ukraine for the people? Tell it to the fenced up people.

Yanukovych: If...he doesn’t speed up…uh…the speed…I’ll be forcing him to...even physically...
Fenced folks [laughing]: No, no, no!

Yanukovych: ...so that he’ll be running faster.
Folks: He’s good!

Yanukovych: Huh? We come from different weight classes, so I understand this.

So he knows how to kick ass. And sand too.



Now that beats Kseniya Simonova's sand animation, doesn't it?



Back in Kyiv they're into erotic asphyxiation.

Police Thwart Protests, Scrap Russian Orthodox Tent Church

OMG! What a way to treat state religion!



On May 14 (Day of Anger), scores of anti-government protesters tried to camp outside parliament — only to be detained by police and later released.





Business as usual, huh? Not exactly.

It turns out police also dismantled that Russian Orthodox tent church that had been there since 2005. Yeah, since the Orange Revolution, for Christ’s sake! Now that should grab Patriarch Kirill’s attention!

Or maybe he had secretly blessed the whole operation? To kind of separate Yanukovych from his favorite church? At least for anyone willing to buy it. I mean Dura lex, sed lex v. Cuius regio, eius religio.

Who knows, maybe this little trick will help Patriarch Kirill save on travel and pack bigger crowds in Ukraine. Without resorting to Photoshop.

Smug Pro-Yanukovych MPs Scolded by Struggling Seniors

40 years of work leaves you with $100/month, not enough to pay for utilities.

The rest goes to first-class citizens who worship all things Soviet.

Woman 3: I, Valentyna Volodymirivna, want to particularly address Lukyanov and Chechetov: What do I have to do — how should I get down on my knees before you — so I’LL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN HERE? HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT, HUH? YOU SHAMELESS ONES! I’ve worked for 40 years, I’m disabled due to cancer, and my father died during the first days there, in the war. He wants to see your flag? He doesn’t want to see this humiliation that you cause us! And you think he has interest in your flag! You can put it wherever you want, put it on, go out, have fun, get drunk in your palaces! But don’t touch us. And you [opposition] keep fighting. As sick as we are, we’ll help you. Trust us. And our grandchildren stand ready to help you. So that we’ll never have to see and hear these “wand wavers” [imitates Chechetov] — illiterate “wand wavers” — because all they have is their big mouths, down to their knees! I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

5:37-6:42

Signing the Soviet flag into law


Shut up, you crazy old Untermenschen!


Go dig a grave and wait for the go-ahead from the AMF!

Arbeit Macht Frei!

Tymoshenko as 'The Running Woman'

Tymoshenko's image facelift campaign as it unfolds, powered by social media.

In this 9.8 km jogging video: Tymoshenko, her bodyguard, her dog plus frogs, as spotted by someone who poses as a breathless curiosity-driven cyclist.



In the year 2011, an *innocent woman* accused of a crime has a choice — hard time or prime time.

She must pay or play...“The Running Woman” — the highest rated television show in history.





Happy Press Freedom Day!

Soviet Show on Maidan

♆krainian colors, Soviet choreogra☭hy.



Not that I'm new to ☠ligarch Entertainmen☦, but this one caught me by surprise as I was walking downtown last Saturday.

And you know what they call it? “Майданc” (“Maidan’s”) It’s a carnival-like dance contest that brings together the cities of Ukraine. Last Saturday’s contestants: Odesa, Kirovohrad and Kharkiv.



Looking at all that Soviet memorabilia in motion, I had a couple of flashbacks.

April 1989. I’m one of the top three students to be promoted to the rank of pioneer (Soviet boy scout). In second grade, a whole grade ahead of the curve. We’re rock stars!

The “rite of passage” took place in the Lenin Museum, just a few blocks from here. In just a few years the USSR would be history.

And what about these kids? How old are they? What the hell are they doing?

If you're an oligarch and you want this for your kids, check out these tutorials.

Lukashenka: ‘There's Plenty of Lousiness to the Current Leadership of Ukraine’

One dictator at a time. That’s how the EU does business.

That’s why the dictator next door ended up home alone, unwelcome and underappreciated.

Meanwhile, the dictator-indoor bombarded Barroso, Ban Ki-moon and other Western dignitaries with tin-cup hospitality. Later, he accompanied Medvedev and Patriarch Kirill on their Chernobyl pilgrimage.

Lukashenka: You know, frankly speaking...uh...not so frankly, actually...uh...you ask this question to Yanukovych: Why is the Belarusian president not present at their event? You ask them. Uh…unfortunately...uh...there’s plenty of lousiness to the current leadership of Ukraine. Uh...I’m not going to be fishing for an invite, and to be some kind of, you know, what you may call it...uh...a sidekick of some kind is not what I’m going to be either — of either one president or the other. That’s why this question — why no Lukashenka — one should ask Yanukovych this question. As for...jerks like Barroso and others...just who is Barroso? There was some Barroso in Portugal, then they kicked him out, put him in the European Commission or some other place. That’s why I couldn’t care less about it...uh...whatever blabber came from some European official someplace. There’s a thousand of them. Uh...and the most important thing is...well, it’s probably easier for me to speak here — you can see it and you know it — that...these are holy days for me.

Holy moly! What a stab in the back from the land where Yanukovych's father was born.

And what a cold shower for pan-Slavic unity. Or maybe acid rain?

Classmate Praises Yanukovych in Stalinesque Poetry

How do some Donbasians buy £136M+£60M flats? Well, here’s a clue.

Let me have a shot at poetic translation.

Viktor, you're the light and the banner. With you we'll crush our foes! You brought faith to the people. Happiness, freedom, and home.
Viktor, you're the resplendent one. Ray of light, hope, and love!
Do it, take command, lead us. Till all our foes are no more!

The clouds will go, I know. A bright life will come to us.
All your evil foes, all this yellow* scum
Shall perish instantly. And may prosperity come!
The bright life is coming. There's good news in store.
Do it, take command, lead us. Till all the dark is no more.

*Yellow obviously means orange (as in the Orange Revolution)

Why not drop a love bomb on Kim Jong-il too? For a bowl of rice, maybe?

Buckwheat would be even better. It’s up 300% since Kim Januk-il took command.

Bonus Track
Actually, Yanukovych had enthralled poetic souls long before he became president. Here’s another gem, based on a Soviet patriotic tune, performed by a Yanukovych supporter in April 2007.

We need no coast of Turkey
We need no America
That guy from Doneeeeetsk would be OK
He’s nothing but a mirrrrracle

Highway Cop Kills Teen Cyclist, Gets Promoted

Catch him if you can.



A reporter tries to reach the cop for comment, and guess what? The cop's moving in the fast lane!

Which finally justifies the $100K we paid for this Ukraine brand.




Outpaced and outraged, the reporter goes all the way to the oblast top brass. Only then does Maj. Voloven become more cooperative.

Maj. Voloven: I have the right to have no contact with you whatsoever, right?
Reporter: And that includes running away?

Voloven: Running away?
Reporter: You were running, weren’t you?

Voloven: Well, I didn’t want to talk to you.
Reporter: Do you feel guilty?

Voloven: Well, yes, in the sense that I could not have prevented this situation, I take full blame for failing to react in this situation.

Teen’s mother: What did you kill my child for?
Voloven: Well, you do realize that...

Mother: Look me in eye! What did you kill my child for?
Voloven: I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose, right?

Mother: Then why are you, a major of the police, running from justice and providing false testimony?
Voloven: I...
Mother: You know I’m telling the truth. It happened right before my eyes.

What can I say? Another success story.

It's got character. It takes character to evade “the justice of the law and the inevitability of punishment” Yanukovych talked about last week.

Yanukovych to Ukrainians: ‘Show Some Ukrainian Character’

The Yanuking speaketh...

Yanukovych: From this treebune...tribune, I want to reach out to every Ukrainian with this: No more complaining and humiliating yourself. Ukraine is a strong and ambitchious state. It’s time to show some Ukrainian character — to prove to yourself and to the world that Ukraine is a country that leads the way.

As if saying трибина instead of трибуна wasn’t enough!

Ambitchious would be a mistranslation. What he actually mumbled out defied translation: амбідна — a portmanteau of ambitna and bidna (ambitious and poor).

How badly does he want poor Ukraine to show some Ukrainian character? I mean, like they did in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya?

Or at least, like holding him to his promise? Last year, he promised us to show his Mezhyhirya property, remember?

Pools, lakes, mansions, club houses, guest houses, pigeon houses, bowling, tennis, golf, helipad, underground shooting range...





Just how much character does it take? To keep all this stuff around while holding the country's highest office?

UPDATE
Segodnya.ua offers a fresh collection of bird's eye views of Mezhyhirya.



Hangar




Club house


Pigeon houses



Visit Segognya.ua for breathtaking video (Part 1) from a Mezhyhirya-Kyiv chopper flight. Part 2 coming soon.


In case you failed to notice, last year, Yanukovych made $115K and his wife $2K.

Governor, Wife Play (Taxpayers Pay)

Drinking and dancing on the taxpayers’ dime? Yes we can!

Ternopil Governor Valentyn Khoptyan: Look, we’re not celebrating Women’s Day, we...we were invited to [this place] where they have young talent, including those from the land of Ternopil, and I wanted to see...because the head of the oblast administration, he has to deal not just with industry, agriculture and the budget, but he also has to deal with life issues, ones pertaining to our region, including, including culture, health care, education, I mean, all those reforms that should be in progress today — there are 21 — ones that the president of our country has set forth. So this...that was, that was not a festive event and not recreation, that was a field trip, a learning experience, as it’s...the kind of work that’s done in Husyatyn Rayon (County), and, as you know, my wife is the chair of the rayon council there.

Reporter: Yes, I do know. So you bel[ieve]...in the report, they didn’t say it was a field trip of yours.
Governor: I’m telling you, I’m telling you: It was...

Reporter: In the report, they said it was the governor...
Governor: They were wrong. I’m...it was a field trip. And every time wherever I go, likewise, likewise, I always want to see our talent, and the land of Ternopil is rich in talent, both young and mature.

Reporter: Let me get this straight one more time. So making this report with state funding and showing it on state television, you believe, is absolutely acceptable?
Governor: It was a field trip of mine...and I...and we should be organizing this kind of work — the recreation of our people — in every rayon, city and village of our region.

What about all those people now making a living in Italy, Spain and Portugal?

How much more “recreation” do we need before this country runs out of people?

‘Let the Damn Motherfucker Die!’ (Babushka on Yanukovych)

Ever wonder how people really feel about you? In your home town?

Yenakiyeve, Donetsk Oblast

Reporter: Hi, I’m a reporter! We’re doing a poll. How would you rate Yanukovych’s first year in office?
Respondent: Let, let the damn motherfucker die! Just put it down word for word and have it published.
1:20-1:30

What, no happy priest and kids scenes? That’s one hell of a generation gap. Just who the hell does she think she is? Ruining all those childhood dreams?

The next respondent gave Yanukovych an A on Euro 2012 and an F overall. All but two respondents rated Yanukovych negatively.


It’s good to be home!

Not in Ukraine? Let Your Pal Vote for You!

Every time you leave, leave your card in good hands.









That’s the house rule. From coalition to opposition, everybody “plays the piano.”

For all the talk of a foolproof system, the Mar. 17 proposition didn’t pass, falling short by 4 votes. Fingerprint recognition? Why bite the hand that feeds you?

STB names and shames the latest card rentals: MPs Maksym Lutsky and Iryna Berezhna of the ruling Party of Regions. The two went to the Council of Europe and guess what? Their cards back home voted 6 and 4 times respectively, the record shows.

Reporter: How’s your card doing now?
MP Lutsky: It’s not.
MP Berezhna: My MP card is in Kyiv, but it’s not voting.

If only I had veto power...I’d vote for Berezhna as Yanukovych’s spokeswoman! Not only would she be a better match, but she would also be able to match her biorhythms to that of her boss.

I mean, showing up late for work wouldn’t be a problem.

Woman Mayor to Woman Reporter: ‘Bitch’

Welcome to the Cougar Town of Ukrainian politics!

Reporter: Everybody had assumed there would be some changes for the better and novelties, but that didn’t happen.
Mayor: Bitch.

That’s Nelya Shtepa, mayor of Slavyansk, Donetsk oblast, speaking at her “100 Days in Office” press conference.

A member of the ruling Party of Regions, Shtepa denies saying the word sookah (bitch). What she really said was Sanya, diminutive for Olexandr, the electrician she invoked once a nearby heater had gone off. So she says.

Gordon Brown should have known better than to give up like that. He should have come up with an alternative interpretation of his “bigoted woman” remark. How about he meant Thatcher?






Ain't it a bitch to run Ukraine for the People?

UPDATE
Shtepa is now suing YouTube for what she considers defamation.



Try hard as they did, ICTV reporters couldn't find an electrician by the name Sanya in the Slavyansk City Hall.

The good news is, Shtepa recently married her driver, 15 years her junior.

Tymoshenko Visits Mom, Changes Hairstyle

Girl falls in love with boy. Boy dumps girl. Girl loses to boy. Boy grounds girl.

On International Women’s Day, boy yields to girl. Girl roams free, heads back to her native Dnipropetrovsk for a family reunion.

Foreign travel? No way. You can take the hair out of the girl, but you can’t take the girl out of his hair.

Tymoshenko: I had to go through a whole variety of Nechvoglods (that’s the investigator’s name, Nichvoglod). So I had to go through a lot of Nichvoglods to get that special slip that allows me to visit mom.

Oh boy...banning *the* opposition leader from foreign and domestic travel? What a mood killer! Even for John McCain, whose associates have lobbied on your behalf?

You can take the girl out of the West, but you can’t take the West out of the girl.

It’s just that some girls wanna have so much fun that others have no business left in this country.

Meet the other Yulia. Yulia Smaga.




Ukraine's got talent! In Spain.

Kids Worship Yanukovych in Live Feed

Welcome back to Yanukidstan! Where Caesar is Christ.
☭owered by Cradle-to-Grave ☠ligarch $olu☦ion$.

Kid 1: Viktor Fedoroveech, welcome to our place!

Kid 2: We earnestly thank what you’re doing for us! [garbles her line, puts a whole new semantic spin on it: as if she thanks him for working for us]

Chorus: We love you very much! Viktor Fedorovych, we can’t wait to see you! God save you!

They’re not kidding. You just saw a portion of Yanukovych’s Feb. 25 grand press conference, capping the 1st year of his presidency.

What did you miss? More of the same: rent-a-crowd live feeds, Soviet-style astroturfing and feel-good questions. “

How to survive on a Hr. 800/$100 monthly pension, less Hr. 780 on utilities?” That’s one unorthodox question that somehow made it through but missed the happy ‘I Hear Everyone’ hour and ended up ducked.

Btw, FEMEN, who chant in choruses of their own, took a more secular approach.


“How come you’re so fucking awesome?”


Awesome possum
