Yesterday evening in the city of Odessa, I was walking along Yekateriniska Street and on the corner of Lanzheronovskaya Street I saw the signboard "Men's Club". behind the door of tinted glass stood two lovely young ladies, they were wearing high boots, short skirts from under which looked out red pants, and concise tops with a deep neckline. as far as I know from eyewitnesses, spending an hour of active rest with such a young lady costs 200 US dollars.

And today I read on the page of the museum director “Pirogovo” Oksana Starak-Povyakel that they came to her search, because law enforcement officials could not believe that with a salary of 6,000 hryvnia (217 US dollars a month) you can live honestly steal.

I myself can not imagine how to live on such a salary.

I am also the director of the museum, and my salary is 4 567 (or 4 576?) Hryvnias. i.e. 165 american dollars a month. that is, Mrs. Oksana gets a little more per month than a young lady in an hour of classics and screamed, and I am less.

But I feel better. I paint and sell paintings. and here is how a researcher who graduated from the Academy of Arts for a salary of 3,700 hryvnia ($ 134) lives, I can not imagine, there are no such rates per hour in men's clubs.

Dear Mr. President of Ukraine, Dear Mr. Prime Minister! i know you took the budget. is it possible to somehow make the museum employee's salary equate to the fee of the young lady from the men's club if not for the whole night, then at least for 2 hours? or for 2019 it is already unrealistic and it remains to be hoped that this will happen in 2020?.

Maybe I mistook something. like $ 200 per hour, this is Kiev rates. In Odessa, they may be more modest.
