Authorities Asking Money For Memory Of Suffered Ancestors

Stalin’s Line appears more important for our government, than the Chernobyl Way.

Lenin! Aye! The Stalin Line? Yes! The Chernobyl Way? Not really heard of it.

How can we do without Lenin and Stalin? Only with them we can go to the brighter future, there’s no other way. What about the Chernobyl Way? Well, that was long ago. 33 years have passed. There is no more of that radiation and the problems it caused. Right? We abolished all those problems with decrees and ordinances. Why reminding people? There are no diseases from Chernobyl. It all seems to you. Regain senses.

Let us better build the bright future “with Lenin and Stalin”. Chernobyl? What about it? Down with that memory and the way. If marching someplace, let it be the Lenin monument. If putting flowers, let it be him, the founder of our happily ever after. If you want a piece of history, or play some war games, welcome to the Stalin Line. Why not? It wasn’t him who shot our ancestors dead, right?

He’s not like that, he is a builder! That is why his line is more imnportant for our authorities than the Chernobyl Way.

The harshest discipline, the iron order – this is our everything. There must be silence, like in a library. Silence! Order and culture. Gate arms at the entrance and exit. Metal detectors.

So, forget about the Chernobyl Way. There is Lenin, Stalin with his line, Communists, the BRYU, the pocket trade unions, the country’s “best people” in the “parliament” and other key posts. Many residences for the skillful, operative and precise state administraton and ruling over these people are also present. Markets, festivals, Dazhynki fairs, battery plants and other valleys, the new NPP – here! There’s everything one may need for living in this country.

No Chernobyl Way though. It’s time to forget that pain, those people. Stop wandering around in those ways, scaring people. Reclaim all the lands in those places, sow seeds for future yields. More use. Profit.

We gave away the Freedom Day, Kurapaty, the Chernobyl Way. We only have ourselves and the country to give away. The society quickly and without a fight just gave away and lost many standards of resistance. Because the authorities are asking money for the memory of the suffered ancestors. Much money.

We bow down before those who stood in the way of that disaster. Chernobyl is not to be forgotten. The Chernobyl Way will always be with us. Even if it’s only in our hearts. This is not forever. In any case, it will be returned. It will be held with conscience, memory and civic position.
