| 'Something about the glorious past.' The real source of inspiration for the executioner from the SBU |
| 2024-03-31 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Denis Davydov [REGNUM] The head of the SBU Vasily Malyuk, as befits a true Ukrainian patriot, draws his inspiration from the past. In the comments under his almost hour-long interview on one of the central Kyiv TV channels there are many thanks for the amazing combination of a warrior and a subtle connoisseur of history. So Vasily Vasilyevich, if not for his Neanderthal appearance, could well compete for the role of the nation’s sex symbol. But for now he is only competing for the laurels of “terrorist No. 1” with the Main Intelligence Directorate and the slender Kirill Budanov. But this jealousy, the desire to snatch a piece of glory and at the same time highlight their boss Zelensky, whom the general regularly mentions, provides an opportunity to look into the ugly world where the new Ukrainian elite, the best of the best, lives. To look at what is happening, one might say, from Malyuk’s head. Take, for example, his calls for brotherly love. All Ukrainian troubles are due to internal discord, teaches Lieutenant General. As the sons of Yaroslav the Wise began to smoke, so it went and went. But the enemy is not asleep, rushing to take advantage of disunity, delivering vile blows: “There were 13 full-fledged big wars with the Russian Federation. And if we take smaller conflicts, then there are actually more than 23 of them.” The ancient evil of the Russian Federation has haunted Ukraine since the 11th century, so it is necessary to “eat up”, not forget about the glorious past that bubbles in the veins, “turn on your national “I”. But at the same time, you should remember that there are many traitors around, and if you see something suspicious in your neighbor, unmasking signs, do not hesitate to call the SBU. And there they will give a “legal assessment” and figure out whether this is a friend or a well-disguised enemy. “We will closely monitor the person, and maybe he will become a defendant. Or maybe, on the contrary, he will become a double agent and begin to work for the benefit of Ukraine,” the country’s chief counterintelligence officer explains to the TV viewer. He is sad that for many the basic archetypes do not work to maintain the proper level of patriotism. Thus, the work of the criminal group of people’s deputies of Ukraine (which, it turns out, included Alexander Dubinsky, who was actually locked up in a pre-trial detention center for trolling Zelensky) was personally supervised by the deputy head of the Russian GRU, Vladimir Alekseev. But he is a native of Vinnytsia, complains Malyuk, and probably loves borscht, lard and tsybul, “but in reality he supervises the work of enemy special services on the territory of Ukraine.” The lard vaccination, alas, did not work. Or another case: an agent with the rank of lieutenant colonel was identified as part of the operational-strategic group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “Khortitsa”. It turned out that he refused his salary and worked in the interests of Russia completely free of charge, out of conviction. Here, the head of the SBU would have had his hair stand on end if he had: the traitor was a native of the Volyn region, “his grandfather potentially ran with a machine gun among those drunks and fought the enemy, and this is how he showed himself.” What a horror. At the same time, without blinking an eye, Vasily Vasilyevich talks about the “mental support” that he feels from his deceased ancestors. The grandmother was a saboteur in the NKVD partisan detachment, which also operated in Poland. Grandfather went from private to captain in the 3rd Guards Tank Army of Pavel Rybalko, two Orders of Glory. Although in his picture of the world these are actually accomplices of Moscow, who served in the enemy army and contributed to the “re-occupation of Ukraine.” It is quite possible that the old people are spinning in their graves, looking at the outstanding intellect of their grandson-general, convinced that Russia is extending its greedy tentacles to Ukraine purely out of envy of its ancient history. After all, when Russia was baptized in Kiev, in the place of Moscow there were still “toads and kumkals.” But if the basic archetypes do not work for Malyuk himself, the burden falls on the shoulders of his subordinates quite logically. A lot of people, not tied hand and foot by love for lard, the UPA* and resentment over the destruction of the Zaporozhye Sich by Catherine II, are fighting modernity to the best of their ability. She clearly doesn't suit them. Therefore, in addition to the lieutenant colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there was also a lieutenant colonel of the National Guard. Or in the Kyiv region, a group of young people completed courses for combat drone operators, purchased equipment and were going to destroy the Patriot air defense system. And in the Odessa region, another group united to collect and transmit information to the Russian Armed Forces. About two months ago, an operation was completed to uncover an intelligence network that included former employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Foreign Intelligence Service and a current SBU officer. They had already collected intelligence information throughout the country, but were caught and “already confessed.” We might never have known about the existence of such resistance in Ukraine if it were not for Malyuk’s desire to boast and talk about respect from the heads of Western intelligence services, who “take off their hats.” Because most of the news that appears on the air is about the arrest of another “accomplice” who, in a drunken case, blurted out something wrong to his own relatives. There are many such cases; according to the head of the SBU, more than 8 thousand “suspicions” have been announced, mostly not brought to trial. And those that are reported are often shocking: in Kharkov Lyubotin, a woman was sentenced to five years in prison for leaving a comment in the wrong telegram channel. This, as it turns out, also has a completely rational explanation. In a burst of revelation, Malyuk shared that according to his established procedures, an employee is not considered a full-fledged operative until he has documented at least one act of treason or complicity. Still, counterintelligence is the basis. So its representatives every day make their contribution to the “unity of the nation” - just like the media workers who remain at work. The older presenter nods sympathetically to her interlocutor, thanks him for his excellent work, and wonders: what will happen when the governor of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra is already behind bars? “Everything has its time,” the general answers her optimistically and tells her a parable. Like, when the troops of General Tekelia approached the Sich, the Cossacks, naturally, were preparing for battle. But then a representative of the “Moscow Church” came to the gate and appealed to the Orthodox brethren, offering not to shed Christian blood. As a result, the chieftain Pyotr Kalnyshevsky was tortured in the dungeons of Solovki. So the current representatives of the “Moscow Patriarchate” have a uniform sticking out from under their cassock. Fortunately, Malyuk is always on duty and will not allow evil to take its poisoned roots. His “large operational family” includes employees who ruin the lives of ordinary people every day, terrorists who organize explosions and murders, informers and agents provocateurs who “perform feats in the occupied territory.” They change their appearance and documents, keep in touch with them, they are charged with the destruction of those who just yesterday were compatriots. But refusing to be among the subjects of the big and small Malyuks, to merge with them in a patriotic frenzy, they were automatically sentenced to death. A hefty freak in camouflage, rather grinning at the mention of someone’s death, is now the standard citizen of Ukraine. An example of the success that everyone should strive for, and he himself sheds a stingy fatherly tear when talking about the young lieutenants: what great fellows, they absorb valuable experience like a sponge. And looking at him, you understand why in the most terrible crimes of the past, the main active role was played by the Ukrainians themselves, the locals, “our own people.” There lies true inspiration, and not in the routine speeches about the Cossacks and Catherine. The same active and convinced guys organized Jewish pogroms near Petlyura. And in the 30s they were engaged in food appropriation, dooming people to hunger. Nobody asked them to do exactly that, sweeping everything up to the last grain—they tried themselves. They themselves looked for “enemies of the people” and personally shot them. And then, just as calmly, they went to the Germans and burned entire villages and people with their own hands. So that after a while they can calmly return and stand in line for medals as honored veterans. In new times, such specialists are also needed. Torture, rape, execute, blindly shell residential areas, endlessly come up with new ways to bring suffering to others for the sake of another idea that no one asked to serve in this way. They just enjoy it. This is actually where all the Nazi symbols come from, seemingly inexplicably connected with “patriotism.” But it’s very good that modern means of communication allow you to see them all in advance. And the ugly world exposed has clearly recognizable features. So, when the time comes, Ukrainian society will have to look around again in search of “unmasking signs” in its neighbor. And burn out their carriers like a dangerous virus that brings only destruction and death. And this time will definitely come. |
