The situation around Svetlana Alexievich is not a trifle. This is the diagnosis of the disease that must be treated.

It's not even that the appearance - even for a few hours - of the Nobel laureate and outstanding writer Svetlana Aleksievich in the lists of the "Peacemaker" is a wonderful topic for Russian propaganda, the opportunity to expose us as idiots in front of the entire civilized world. In the end, what does it matter what else will Russian propaganda come up with?.

The main thing is that we look like idiots and madmen before ourselves. That we offend one of the few intellectuals of world significance who have always consistently supported our country and condemned Russian aggression. And it is absolutely not important that in order to justify this insult they used the "testimony" of the propagandists from "Russia today". Because it is possible to disassemble by bones what Alexievich said during the public speaking a few years ago. One can agree with some of its theses, we can say that she made a mistake or unsuccessfully expressed her thought. But the main thing is that a person who struggles all his life against the evil who started this struggle even when many modern accusers and self-appointed patriots still did party or Komsomol careers, call with Russian propagandists and saboteurs! And by the way, by the way, they compromise the very idea and mission of the "Peacemaker", turn the search of those who challenged the Ukrainian statehood into provincial clownery. What nonsense, what a shame, what a shame!.

You can, of course, tell yourself that this is all another Russian provocation - and calm down. But this is not all the truth. And all - it is that provocateurs among us are really quite a few. But well-intentioned idiots even more.

The Maidan brought to politics and social life a huge number of new people. Among them there are many clever, decent, talented. These people have been defending the country, reforming it,. But at the same time - as it always happens during such serious social changes - ignorant opportunists appeared, and just people are just as honest as silly people. And these people become prey to any provocation, generate any stupidity. And do not assume that it's just annoying little things. The situation around Svetlana Alexievich is not a trifle.

This is the diagnosis of the disease that must be treated.

In the past, all attempts to create a full-fledged Ukrainian statehood suffered a fiasco, not because there was not enough courage, but because the mind was not smart enough. Because provocateurs and idiots defeated intelligent and professional people and received broad support.

One should not allow Ukraine to be turned into a country of fools again this time and destroyed. Enough. Have reached.
