Have you missed Usyk and his expert thoughts? We have some for you. In a recent show by the 112 channel, while answering journalists’ questions, the boxer said that if radicals attack Lavra, he … will stand up to protect monks. According to Usyk, Tomos must be given if people become kinder from this, and we must stop being “angry and prickly towards our neighbor.” More about religious-political expert Oleksandr Usyk – in reactions from DUMKA.
Despite all my impartiality in the texts, I won’t add a video of the conversation. If you gather enough courage to this difficult step, just write “Usuk, Lavra” and get almost an hour of pure… well, just an hour with Usyk I don’t think you need explanations. So, Myroslav Hai, a blogger, volunteer and coordinator of the Myr i Ko Foundation, is convinced that Oleksandr Usyk is an example of the success of Russian propaganda and the failure of our counter propaganda. Well, the guy watched some Russian TV, okay, he will protect monks of the Moscow Patriarchate. What a surprise.
However, Hai is convinced that all this is not a problem of Usyk himself, but of the entire civilized world. In the end, you can use the same as certain signals. So a conditional Usyk will say something like “I didn’t know that Russia killed Ukrainians in the Donbas, and Russian special forces accompanied the referendum in Crimea,” which means Russian pressure and aggression are slightly weakened and require “boxer’s” aid.
Aider Muzhdabayev, deputy general director of the ATR channel, recalled how, three years ago, saying that Usyk is not a patriot of Ukraine, he received a response something like: “FSB agent who defames the patriot.” Back then Muzhdabayev asked just to wait. So, the waiting is over.
Here Dmytro Korchynskyi, a journalist, politician, and public figure, decided to troll Usyk a little bit, noting that “during work-outs and competitions he received a lot of punches in the head,” that’s why coaches should keep the boxer from going to Lavra.
People’s Deputy Vitalii Kupriy instead noted that now taxmen investigate a criminal case on Usyk’s tax evasion on a large scale. In addition, according to the people’s deputy, the big share of that income Usyk received from the aggressor.
Deputy governor of the Donetsk Regional State Administration Igor Stokoz in his turn stressed that it’s not worth bothering yourself with this “righteous indignation”, and the only cure for this is not to create an idol. Something like, draw conclusions and move on.
Vitaliy Deineha, the founder of the project Come Back Alive, in his statements was more sharp and concise, naming Usyk an example for other boxers on the topic of why it is better not to talk about their views, and simply beat opponents. And it would be great if Vasyl Lomachenko understands it on time. For one Usyk is probably enough for us.
Here, we have a slightly different view on everything from the leader of С14 Yevhen Karas.
And while the majority are reflecting on the new pearls of Usyk, blogger Anton Hodza raises a fairly simple question: how many times this should happen again that we finally figure out who is Mr. Usyk?
Well, finally, a short blogger’s story about the epic hero of our time.
