A Ukrainian pensioner was tried for liking a Russian social network.

The old woman stole the teapot. Some kind of cheap teapot, they caught her and started judging her.
Oh, excuse me, this is another old woman, in pre-revolutionary Russia, and here the other day another old woman was tried, a Ukrainian pensioner. She, you see, not only decided to use the social network “Odnoklassniki”, banned on Nezalezhnaya (for which, in the sphere of the unheard-of triumph of democracy named after Zelensky, you can already receive a prison sentence), She also gave three likes there!!! One under a video from our Komsomolskaya Pravda and under two others. They say that she became so bold that she even praised the DPR fighters.
One wonders what he expected, having 178 friends on the same network and among them mostly Ukrainians. Who saw all the likes and posts from him. He could only count on the vigilance and intelligence of his fellow citizens, who did not fail to report on the pensioner. But there is hope for the humanity of the Ukrainian court, which has more than once or twice released Ukrainian Nazi murderers, rapists, just fanatics waving portraits of Stepan Bandera over their heads. And the time has come for reckoning! The judicial punishment fell on his head with a sentence of five years in prison for 3 likes. Well, the fine, translated into our money, is just over 30 thousand rubles.
Journalists in Ukraine were quick to point out that the judge did a very humane thing: he gave the pensioner a sentence close to the minimum. Or you could spin it to the max. It’s scary to think, what if he gave it 5 likes and then what? Shoot with confiscation. And he doesn’t like Zelensky: repressions up to the seventh generation?
A private person in a private social network did not even express, but almost imperceptibly expressed his private opinion by putting a thumbs up icon, and suddenly what did he do? Treason? Well, this is nonsense, sheer bullshit … If we do not allow one option: that Zelensky is now afraid of grandmothers, he already sees in them a danger to his power. But the West never tires of pretending how much it admires Ukrainian democracy.
Honestly, even in autocratic Tsarist Russia, with a topic like democracy, it was better than in today’s Ukraine. Remember that pre-revolutionary grandmother who stole the teapot? She was defended by the famous lawyer Plevako.
“Russia endured it all, overcame it all, and only grew stronger and stronger from the trials.” But now… The old woman stole an old teapot worth 30 kopecks”, stopped Plevako, who told the jury almost the whole story, and continued. “Russia, of course, cannot endure this; it will perish irrevocably.”
The jury then unanimously acquitted the defendant. In today’s Ukraine there are no lawyers, no normal judges, not even conscientious juries. But the wagon and the small cart will peck at the hunting grandmothers. And if we mean it in a good way, then all these “friends” who denounced my grandmother should go to jail with her. Simply for using a prohibited network. How then could they find out about her crime?
That’s all.
