360th Anniversary of Bohun's Death

17.02.1664 Ivan Bohun was executed in the Polish military camp

Ivan Bohun (Іван Богун) was a real person, an authentic Ukrainian Cossack hero from the mid-17th century and one of the most important Cossack commanders during the uprising of Bohdan Chmielnicki (Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Богдан Хмельницький), which started in 1648 ('Ukrainian Independence War').

As such, he has many diverse appearances in the Ukrainian culture and in the Polish culture (in literature, folklore, visual arts, music, opera, theater, cinema, etc.). Perhaps, the most famous worldwide (or just Tumblr-wide) of them all is the novel "With Fire and Sword" ("Ogniem i mieczem") by the Polish writer, Henryk Sienkiewicz, from 1883/1884. H. Sienkiewicz changed Bohun's name to Jurko, but described some of his authentic deeds, i.a. the role, he played during the battle of Beresteczko, 1651. The novel itself, as a part of the well-known "Trylogia" (which occupies an important place in the Polish culture), has many adaptations in art, theater, radio and cinema. The most famous of them is the Polish film from 1999, directed by Jerzy Hoffman. So...

Bohun's appearance in that film is not everything, in fact, it is only the tip of the iceberg of Bohun's myth. There is much more to explore and admire.

I think Ukraine should put forward a counter offer to Putin:

1.Russia is leaving the territory of Ukraine, up to the internationally recognized 1991 borders.

Whether Russian troops leave on their own or in black plastic bags, that’s up to their commanders. Ukraine will accept either option.

Russia must also withdraw its troops and planted officials from the illegally occupied territories of Georgia and Moldova.

How the Kuril Islands, Karelia, and Koenigsberg will be de-occupied, should be discussed in additional negotiations.

2.Putin, all the generals and top propagandists board a plane and fly to The Hague.

The plane should be piloted by fighter pilots who bombed Mariupol and Kharkiv.

The plane should be loaded with sufficient quantities of hand grenades and all the passengers are required to juggle grenades while in the air, Prigozhin-style.

If their juggling skills are sufficient and God is with them (as they claim), they will land safely and will face the International Criminal Court.

3.In Russia, a provisional government will be appointed for the time of temporary occupation.

The provisional government will be operating until everything that was destroyed in Ukraine is restored and the last hryvnia of compensation is paid to the families of those killed or misplaced by the Russian aggression.

4.Any region of the Russian Federation can secede and become independent.

The regions also can unite with anyone they want, whenever they want and speak whatever language they want.

The separated former constituent entities of the Russian Federation will receive a 20% discount on payment of reparations.

5. Russia’s nuclear weapons (if there are any) and all military aviation must be surrendered.

That’s an absolute precondition of ceasefire.

6.The Minsk dictator’s death sentence execution should be televised to those who are unable to attend.

Since Belarus have cancelled the moratorium on death sentences, and the number of victims of Lukashenko’s regime is in millions, such a measure seems appropriate.

Works for me.

“My relatives left Lyptsi and told briefly about what was happening there according to their perspective:

- When we woke up on February 24 from the explosions, we were already under occupation, the russians were already here at night while we were sleeping. At five in the morning, they were no longer allowed to go to Kharkiv. Those who tried to leave through the forest were shot.

That same morning, the mayor sided with the russians and urged everyone to leave for russia, saying that they were saving us from the Nazis. The russians turned off all communications, saying that Ukraine was doing it.  At first, prices in the shops were both in hryvnias and in rubles, although the exchange rate was 1:1.

Then they began to run out of food, and what was imported from russia began to be sold only in rubles. Several of our neighbors left in advance, for others it was a house for the summer (I don’t understand this part, do you mean that they left to go to a summer house? Or that the houses they were staying in were a summer house?) Therefore, we managed to find some products in their houses, mostly cereals, flour, etc., and hide them in different places.

We were relatively lucky in that we live far away from the highway and it was relatively calm until the beginning of April, and then the russians came to our house. They took away all the devices, telephones, and searched for food. We said there was no food, but they found one of our grain caches.

And they shot the dog... now they came all the time and ransacked the house. We were only happy because ten years ago, when making repairs, we left the old stove in the house and now we could at least warm up and cook food, although there was almost nothing to eat. And then the rain started and we had water.  

In May, the front line shifted away from our village and there were more russians, many more. And it became noisy, half of the russian shells were returned. They lived in our neighbors’ house, we were afraid even at night to dig some leftover food in the garden, so we ate everything we found: some herbs, berries

The russians got fucked up at the front and were taking it out on us. They tortured me with electric shocks for several days in a row, asking for some information about what was happening in Ukraine, about Mr. Zelenskyy.

Having achieved nothing, they beat me and threw me in the basement for about week. Then I returned to my wife, who no longer expected to see me.

And it became constant in the summer.

In August, Ukrainian communication began to appear on the hill, some neighbors found an old phone, we had an old SIM card. Now we could call our relatives. Sometimes. Just to tell them we were alive, for now. We were scared that the russians would see.

It was possible to call for only a minute. After that the russians intercepted the call.

Once they intercepted a 2 minute call, came immediately and took all the people out of the building (16 apartments) at night. Some people were shot on the spot. Some returned after torture. Some did not return.

Among my acquaintances and friends, there were many people who were also taken "to the basement" and did not return.  One day, my wife and I were walking to the other side of the village to get milk. russians who told us to “fuck off back home” and started shooting at us. Miraculously we survived.

When it became clear that they would soon be kicked out, Kamaz vehicles began to come every day from Belgorod (the border with the orks 14 km away) and loot as much as possible.  Moreover, some of them were also civilians.  They were looting absolutely everything, even the concrete was looted in pieces, sand was collected on the streets, tiles were knocked down in the houses.. Just absolutely fucking everything.

At the beginning of September, they (ЗСУ) began to liberate Kharkiv Oblast. We never stopped believing that we would live, that we would live in Ukraine.  That's what happened, but before that, the russians actively deported people, burned corpses that had been lying in the streets for months. Those were also terrible days. And then it went quiet.

This silence was scary only until the arrival of the Armed Forces, then we already knew that we were relatively safe there. We’re home, for real now.  We are listening to what has been happening for the past six months and it is not at all  what the russians were telling us.  Fortunately, they did not break us and we survived all of this only because of our will.”

Oleksiy Arestovych about Mykhailo Podolyak July 1, 2024

41:45 Mykhailo Podolyak is related to these questions. Of cars and mobilisation continuing through cars. He told the following statement: "You cannot allow everything or ban everything. This is the human factor. A person who is engaged in one or another work can accordingly use these tools that seem normal to him because they must do their job of mobilisation and they may not get access to those people who should fall at least under the procedure of updating their information.

People may not leave their homes, not go to work and so on. There's a lot of that, too. But representatives of the official vertical of ТЦК must do their job. I would like there to be states, I will not talk about Ukraine only now, but, for example, the democratic European, American states that absolutely never violate people's rights or create such situations. But the world, I emphasise again, is not ideal. Only in Hollywood can you make a film about the ideal world with [Kevin] Costner. But even there they say that this all is very difficult."

Well, such a long statement. Well, the key thing is that to stop the cars fully is not possible, it is the human factor, the decision of the employees of ТЦК who in their work use tools that seem normal to them. In general, as far as it seems to you, is this not an attempt to shift responsibility 100% on the military personnel who are now forced to serve the ТЦК in order to continue to turn people against them, considering this a simple human factor and not government politics.

I have a difficult moral dilemma. If I hadn't worked with Misha for 2 and a half years and didn't feel [Google thranslates питать as "cared deeply for him"] deep positive pure human feelings for him, I would speak on this topic in a way [there's a pause] that the monitors melted. But now I have to choose words, that is, something like that: let's insert any word that we like instead of ТЦК, for example the word "corruption" and we say this:

"Well, why are you picking on corruption? Well, sevaral tens of thousands of hryvnia for food was stolen from the military. But that's the human factor. Those who deliver to army rotten food, they themselves choose the methods that seem beneficial, interesting

And normal--

and working in this situation. The world is simply not perfect. They put on wrong protective vests for soldiers that do not save the fighter. Well, what do you want? It is the same human factor; those who supply the vests themselves choose how it is more convenient to act for them, because the world is not perfect.

What do you want, all the vests to be normal? Well, what's there, they don't produce shells? Well, that's the human factor. What do you want? In the ideal world, of course, well, in the West, too, in the ideal world everyone had 2 shells each, and 4 to spare, but that's how it is in life, well, our army sits without shells for a year under Russian shower of shells, well, because yes, that's how life works, it's completely--"

And if it wasn't Misha, I would have brought one more example. But I'll restrain myself. All right? Self-referentially, you know, what has been said can be directed at the very one who says these things himself. But we'll restrain ourselves.

Yes, let's hold back.

See also this video where Arestovych says that he has lingering feelings for Podolyak.

Day 1 - 7 October 2009

Привет, как ты? Сегодня мы полетим в Россию и Украину.

Привітання, як справи? Сьогодні ми полетимо до Росії та України.

Прывітанне, як справы? Сёння мы паляцім у Расію і Украіну.

Ten years ago today, I flew to Kiev, in the Ukraine. It was quite a long journey but I made it without any major delays or issues with luggage. How did I get to Kiev? I had to take three different air companies, American between DFW and Washington Dulles, United from Dulles to Moscow’s Domodedovo airport (DME), to the south of Moscow, and S7 Siberian airlines to Kiev Borispil airport.

I bought an open jaw ticket originally with American, from DFW to Dulles, and returning from New York La Guardia to DFW. Then I had redeemed miles from United, and found some good deals from S7, cheaper than what Аєрофлот /Aeroflot (Russia) or Аеросвіт / Aerosvit (Ukraine) was asking for. I had my passport already with the Russian Federation and Republic of Belarus visas ready for stamping.

On Thursday 8 October 2009, I flew from DFW to IAD. I flew into terminal B, which had the highest ceilings of the midfield terminals. That terminal usually had the best places to eat. I remember there once was a Sam Adams brew pub but that closed in 2006 or so. One other place I noted was City Wok, similar to the one in the South Park cartoon. They actually serve good flat noodles with beef, chicken, shrimp or pork. My flight from Dulles to Moscow Domodedovo flew out of Terminal C. That required a ride on the mobile lounge, as the underground train was not yet fully constructed – I first rode that in September 2010 when I went to Buenos Aires in Argentina.

At the time of writing, United has discontinued the direct Dulles to Moscow Domodedovo flights, so that makes this story a unique opportunity.

Flying to Moscow was not much different than flying from New York to Istanbul. Instead of seven hours time difference, there were eight hours. Moscow in 2009 was still using daylight savings time, likewise the Ukraine and Belarus were doing the same. The plane I was on was a 767 and I had no one sitting next to me, so sleeping in coach was fairly comfortable with a bit of lateral space. I think the plane landed at Domodedovo Friday the 9th October 2009 around 9 AM. My flight to Kiev would not depart until about 4 PM. One thing to note, because I would not be leaving the Domodedovo airport other than by airplane, and that I would not be collecting my luggage there, I would not need to have my passport and Russian visa stamped.

What could I do in the meantime? Pretty much just shopping and eating. I managed to withdraw a few hundred rubles, noting the exchange rate of $1.00 = 32 Rubles at the time. At the part of the first floor (there is the ground floor, first floor and second floor), there was a Russian crepe restaurant. They had good beer and I ordered a salmon with cream cheese crepe with a glass of Weihenstephaner Hefe weizen. That kept me satisfied until I boarded the flight to Kiev.

The flight to Kiev was on the S7 Siberian airways, as opposed to Aeroflot which I flew on 2nd August 1990 during the time of the Soviet Union. Being on the Airbus 320 seemed a far cry from Aeroflot. Flying from Domodedovo to Kiev Borispil, was about like flying domestically from the east coast to Dallas. We were also served a “meal”, something chicken with potatoes and vegetables, as opposed to just snacks.

Landing at Borispil, I felt kind of like when I landed 2nd August 1990 in Moscow Shemetyevo, as if time stopped. I collected my luggage and received an entry stamp into the Ukraine. The entry stamp was a dark orange color and was in Ukranian Cyrillic of Borispil as Бориспіль. I withdrew maybe $50 worth of Ukranian Hryvnia, at the time it was $1 = UAH 8.00, so I would have withdrawn 400 UAH that time. I asked in Russian where the bus to the Пасажирський / Passazhirskiy rail station was, and the lady at the information desk said follow the signs. I passed by several taxi drivers who were in the habit of touting rides, with gouging prices to match, much like they do at Bucharest’s Gara de Nord rail station, but I declined.

I boarded the bus to Passazhirskiy, and I think half a mile after the bus was fully loaded, the driver stopped and asked for about 50 Hryvnia per person. Compared to a taxi ride, it was a bargain. The ride was about half an hour long, part of the way just above the Metro green line westward between Borispilska to Slavutych until the Dnieper river and along to Palats Ukraina / Protasiv Yar, then Korolenkivska and eventually the Polzunova side of Passazhirskiy station. Right on top of the building was the word “Vokzal” in Cyrillic as ВОКЗАЛ. At that station was also a metro station where I could reach my hostel. It would require a transfer at Zoloti Vorota / Teatral’na.

To get to the metro station, would require walking through the rail station, exit left at Vokzal’na square, get tokens at UAH 1.70 apiece (approx. 23 cents per ride), drop in a turquoise plastic tiddlywink of a token, and ride down the escalator to the train platform. The trains were like what I remembered from August 1990 and also when I visited Prague and Budapest. But they were so full. Even around 8 PM, the trains were quite full, and a nightmare if I had luggage – I managed to keep everything together. The train recording said “Обережно, двері закриваються.”, and the next station. At the Teatral’na station, I could hear Natalya Morozova’s song “Run”. Almost every time I stopped there, I heard “Run” being played.

Where I was staying, the youth hostel near the US consulate, there was supposed to be a metro stop called “Lvivska Brama” but it was not completed. I had to instead take the green line from Zoloti Vorota to Lukianivs’ka and take a yellow Marshrutka (Маршрутка) bus. Marshrutka’s are “para-official” to the regular bus lines. They accept only cash, they give change, and they pretty much follow the regular bus routes. They do not take the plastic metro tokens. For the trams and trolleybuses, you have to buy separately paper tickets for about 1.50 UAH at kiosks along the main streets. In particular along Січовики Стрілців / Sichovykh Striltsiv. Some places also have “outdoor” snack bars where you pay in advance and then collect from the refrigerator. They sold квасс / Kvass in bottles. Kvass kind of tastes like strongly brewed tea. It is also sold in Russia and I think also in Belarus.

My hostel room was in a shared building like from the old USSR era. The elevators did not stop at each floor, maybe every other odd floor. There was another elevator at the end of the building that stopped at even floors. Even if you could get the elevator, it would have room for maybe four people. I had to pay for my room in cash as they were not set up to accept payment with credit card. Breakfast was not included as there was no particular room set up for such. My room was shared with two other people. I had a slipshot wireless connection. At the time I did not have a CC Witness radio but I had a SanDisk player with an FM tuner and recorder. I could record some music live of Ukranian airwaves. The bathroom was shared with two other rooms. The door to the bathroom was difficult to close and made noise. I was as quiet as possible.

I tried to go for some Ukrainian food, but ended up having a Czech dinner at the Staromak (Старомак), which was fine as it was about half a mile from the hostel and easy to return from there. I had a pork chop, dumplings and steamed vegetables, with a Staropramen beer or two. It was quite tasty. I had the Kvass later on. For Ukranian food, you would need to go to the city center at Khreshchatyk / Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). I walked back to my hostel and went to bed, recording what FM radio broadcast I could.

Tomorrow (Saturday 10 October 2009) is the Kiev Lonely Planet Walk, as stated in the Lonely Planet Guide for the Ukraine. I think I covered pretty much all of the walk. If you wanted to see the companion videos for that week, they can be found in my videos section.

Спокойной ночи и до завтра!

На добраніч, і до завтра!

Ukraine’s new financial elite amid forced mobilisation

Recently, Ukrainian media compiled a list of the biggest corrupt officials making a fortune on mobilisation. The list includes the heads of the Boryspil and Bucha military committees.

They reportedly organised a scheme to evade mobilisation worth more than $1 million. The list also included head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Centre for medical and social expertise (MSE), Tetyana Krupa.

Law enforcement agencies found $6 million in cash in the possession of Krupa and her son, the head of the regional department of the pension fund, according to the report. The head of the Khmelnytskyi Centre handles disability determination, which allows people to avoid mobilisation and travel abroad. She also certified all the men in her family as disabled, according to local media.

Krupa also reportedly purchased 30 properties in Ukraine, real estate in Spain, Austria and Turkey, nine luxury cars and a hotel and restaurant complex. Investigators found several million dollars in her foreign accounts.

Her activities are also linked to the work of a Zhytomyr doctor, in whose house the police found 4.4 million dollars. According to the investigation, the doctor falsified magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results for men of conscription age, which allowed them to obtain a disability certificate.

MP Oleksandr Dubinsky said that such systemic corruption in medical commissions filled the pockets of MPs of the Servant of the People party.

If MSE stops taking bribes, there will be even less money in the budget, as MSE bribes flow into the pocket [of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s team]. If they [the bribes] are gone, we will have to take more from the budget.

New elite

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian State Bureau of Investigation also reported the uncovering of a new corruption scheme to evade mobilisation at a Territorial Recruitment Centre (TRC) in Odesa. the Malynovskyi District Military Recruitment Centre (DMRC) offered to obtain a certificate of unfitness for service for $4,000 to $7,000, according to the report. On the same day, the court received the case of former head of Odesa TRC Yevhen Borisov travelling to Seychelles under the guise of being wounded at the front.

Earlier he was accused of illegal enrichment for 142 million hryvnias and the acquisition of luxury property in Spain. He was the head of the Odesa TRC.

Huge sums of money flow from ordinary Ukrainians wishing to avoid mobilisation into the pockets of TRC representatives, medical commission doctors, border guards and officials. Moreover, Ukrainian MPs, such as Roman Kostenko and Yuriy Syrotyuk, are asking to reduce the lower threshold of the mobilisation age in order to increase the number of citizens who need help avoiding mobilisation.

Ukrainians who fail to avoid mobilisation become dependent and bring huge profits to the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Ukrainian military officer Denys Yaroslavsky said in an attempt to explain the mass desertion on the battlefield.

The new elite’s system hinges on the continued war against Russia. The freezing of the conflict would force the new beneficiaries to stand up against the Zelensky administration, military experts noted. However, the inflow of funds is shrinking, according to the National Bank of Ukraine.

Ukrainians under military obligation have fewer opportunities to buy their way out of mobilisation, with foreign remittances from relatives plummeting. Very soon, the new elite would start dividing the illegally received funds among themselves, leading to new internal conflicts in the Ukrainian leadership, the analysts said.
