Don’t you know, by any chance, how in a few days we can stop the war in eastern Ukraine? Dr. Komarovsky, as it turned out, for a long time had a strategic plan. Well, kind of a plan. Imagine that the well-known doctor stepped into the president’s shoes and said that he would end the war… by going to fishing with Putin. Imagined? And it was really this way. More about the unexpected and ambiguous plans of Komarovsky – in the reactions from DUMKA.
In fact, the news has been published by one of the Ukrainian media. In his commentary, Eugene Komarovsky asserts that if he became president, the first thing he would do is fishing with Putin. According to the doctor, after that, the war in Donbas would be over. Well, there’s no need in lending the ambitions to this gentleman, however, it seems that something urgently should be done with his rational thinking.
However, such a statement by Mr. Komarovsky hasn’t appeared for the first time. The doctor promised to go fishing with the president of the aggressor state in June, but (what a trouble) remained practically unheard of by his readers. But it’s OK, there are always good-faith Ukrainian journalists to whom you can throw the same news with the exclusiveness sauce one more time. Back then, in June, the political adviser Mykola Spiridonov drew attention to Komarovsky’s words. In his opinion, such statements considerably diminish doctor’s probable political perspectives. And why? Because he hadn’t had a normal consultant. It doesn’t seem that he has him so far.
The repetition of the doctor’s thesis was also noticed by political technologist Olexiy Golobutsky. The answer is not delayed, the same is straightforward and simple, as the statement by Komarovsky himself: how you can say ”vodka” and ”fishing” if Russians kill Ukrainians in the east? The author of the post added that the candidate-pediatrician ”reached the bottom”. Well, it’s as usual when it seems that the bottom is already under the feet, after all, someone must knock. If not with the recipes for influenza, then with the plan to save the country.
The incredibly witty initiative of Eugene Komarovsky has turned into an extraordinary discussion in the network. Of course, the vast majority of it was jokes filled with a double dose of irony and sarcasm. Here, for example, we have a whole set of achievements that the doctor could accomplish only with the help of his visit. Obviously, we can go on like this for a very long time.
Instead, a businessman, public figure and blogger Karl Volokh seriously assumed that Komarovsky could appear in the list of some ”opposition” force. He says that simply throwing of pro-Russian theses by the famous doctor is unlikely to happen: he’s not so stupid. Well, as they say, let’s check. You can bet in comments. The winner will get a wonderful and incredible nothing.
And for someone, for instance for blogger Ivan Erokhin, doctor Komarovsky had died and died completely. Of course, he could live a great life, treat people, make money, but of a sudden, he decided to go fishing with the Russian president. And something, probably, went wrong because of this.
However, it’s far from being a fact that everything would have been successful. Because, as journalist Andriy Miroshnychenko says, the doctor could … accidentally wet his mantoux. Well, that’s only a half of the trouble, but if he did not read Ulyana Suprun‘s posts on this topic, then, we’re screwed.
Or the deeds of Komarovsky could be influenced by those endless eclipses. Such a plausible version was offered by journalist and publicist Serhiy Rudenko. Well, why the fishing with Putin can exist, then what’s wrong with eclipses?
The blogger, Katerina Zolotareva, furthermore, stressed the unexpected tendency for all our ”singers, doctors and other good people” to mess with politics. She asks Komarovsky not to do this again. Well, Mrs. Kateryna, if a person attempts to convey the same thesis twice, then to warn him about something is somehow irrational.
The record amount of letters dedicated to Komarovsky’s statement was by journalist, writer, and blogger Pavlo Bondarenko. The author of the post decided to even imagine the whole conversation between the doctor and the Russian president.
According to ”scenario” of Bondarenko, Putin, after the second glass, would have prepared for the president-pediatrician a list of conditions under which the war could be over. This is the closure of the Crimean issue, and the absence of Russian aggression (of course, in its place there was the civil war), and elections at territories occupied by terrorists, and the amnesty to militants, and a whole number of things that are actually even scary to imagine. There would be a place in politics even for Medvedchuk and Tymoshenko.
And the fairy tale ends, quite expectedly, with a certain morale: for an honest and patriotic man, even the first condition of imagined Putin would be enough to pack up all the fishing gear and go home. Even more: a reasonable person, at least slightly intelligent, understands that in fact, the war ends only in two conditions: victory over the enemy, or capitulation to him. How Komarovsky was going to defeat the enemy in the fishing contest – remains a big secret, or, let’s say, an open story.
And in the end, I’ll share with you the post by blogger Anton Hodza. There is some truth in his words: once the doctor has entered an unknown field the whole facebook found something to joke around and discuss. Therefore, my darlings, be careful and wash your hands after every inadequate information. Because informational hygiene, like Ukraine, is above all.
