Well, you haven’t laughed for a long time? The head of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration Olexiy Savchenko wished archaeologists to find the golden fleece and other artifacts of the Conan the Barbarian times. Everything could be all right if Conan wasn’t a fictional hero created by American writer Robert Howard, and a golden fleece was a mythical item. How Conan the Savchenko got the whole network in the mood – in the reactions from DUMKA.
In the beginning, let’s arrange a small background, to know how Konan appeared in Savchenko’s speech and then converted to numerous posts. It was in the local museum during the archaeologist’s presentation of the ancient Greek ritual pot, which was dug out from the waters of the Kinburn spit area… Why am I telling this to you? It’s necessary to read immediately Savchenko’s direct speech, and for those who have iron nerves and time to laugh, below I’ll add a video.
«This find proves that, perhaps, Mykolaiv will prove once again that this is a historic city. And in general, what happened in our area is not just from the days when Conan and our Wild Garden, whom Arnold Schwarzenegger had mentioned, but also there is much more that we can show to the world. I hope that the next find maybe some kind of a crypt, in which the Golden Fleece was kept, or maybe something else, “– it was said with a completely serious face and faith in everything sacred and mythical by Olexiy Konan. Oh, excuse me, Savchenko.
However, on his page in the network, Savchenko decided not to write for some reason, neither about Conan, nor about Fleece, nor even about Schwarzenegger. That’s how the things go, once you recall the decent people who were ready to give their life for Mykolaiv and then you forget about them. What a people? What will Conan relatives say now? What an authority, what the head of the regional state administration…
Should I mention, what was the overwhelming majority of comments? I think you’ve already received an excessive Conan-dose of memes and jokes in your feed, so let’s restrict ourselves to only a few. Here, the Facebook folklore, as I dared to name it someday and continue calling it this way despite the fact that everything is written by one brilliant man. This is a short, poetic generalization of all that has happened. Well, let’s look for a golden fleece, my darlings?
Here, blogger Anton Hodza explained how actually everything happened. You can laugh here, but Mr. Savchenko simply forgot to add that the direct descendant of Conan is a Ukrainian businessman and MP Ihor Kononenko. Fuf. True Conans and Cossacks haven’t gone from the Ukrainian soil; we will hold the door, survive and win!
I’ll tell you more; Olexiy Savchenko is such a person who forgot about the area named Varvarivka, that’s in the very center of Mykolaiv. Historical center, so to speak. Well, tell me that’s not in the honor of Conan? Who will be the betrayal lover who will try to refute something?
And this is not the end! According to political scientist Kostyantyn Bondarenko, the head of the Mykolayiv Regional State Administration for some reason forgot to tell about hobbits and elves, which were mentioned by Freeman and Wood. He says we need to learn history and get back to our roots. Couldn’t you make more spoilers? And if Savchenko was preparing this for the next interview? And what about the people?
But journalist Vasyl Krutchak had tried to explain everything: simply God doesn’t like Ukraine. Sir, be more careful with your words. You never know who will be the next victim of Conan virus.
Alongside the jokes and discussions about Savchenko and Conan were not just a reason for jokes, both of them (although one of them may deserve the independence) became memes that are used as an element of language. Well, here we have a report by journalist Raul Chilachava. Well, everything is organic, isn’t it? Great, my darlings, it’s just great. I think I’ll change my name. How do you like “reactions were collected and the outpost of Ukrainian History was kept by Stepan the Goat»?
Ha, you thought, I run out of screenshot jokes? Half of Facebook is in them, I’ve just taken off the cream from the top. That’s specific but looks funny. I understand badly this jokes, maybe it’s for a greater sense of humor than it seemed to me. So you please, send me a message if blogger Yuriy Gudymenko wrote something not so funny.
And for those who liked it, I give a continuation. Other bloggers have already appeared there. And you said. Conan unites. The only country, the only hero.
You know, without jokes, the worst thing in all of this is not a mistake from Savchenko. But the fact that to protect him, explaining the connection between Conan and Cimmerians began the first deputy prosecutor of the Mykolaiv region. Well… I don’t even know what to say. Perhaps, he’s some kind of a descendant. Thank you for the observation, journalist Olga Khudetska. May Conan protect you.
Everything is all right, the people are in the right hands, stop worrying! At last, it’s said by civic activist Roman Kulyk. Although, don’t forget to turn on your sarcasm and irony chanell.
And a bit of seriousness. Here, journalist Sergii Kostezh recalled that the Maidan was about the same character that turned Anna Akhmatova to Akhmetova. It was «Legitimate” Yanukovych, Viktor. The Maidan, according to Kostezh, was against the humiliation of dignity, and for normal people in power. And now Savchenko absolutely doesn’t fit today’s reality. I would even say neither the first Savchenko nor the second one. Well, friends, let’s have a deconanization?
And finally, take a little bit of the network’s beauty. And let the glory of Conan live with you and warm your heart. See you!
