Within a few days of the war, I’ve collected jokes, memes, and caricatures.
The undoubted leader is the gag about a battle between Putin and Zelenskiy as captains of KVN teams*(1);
The suggestion coming from a witty woman to a Russian soldier to put raw sunflower seeds in his pocket*(2);
Certainly a fresh look at the standards of profanity that rose to prominence after what happened with the heroic defenders of Zmiinyi Island;
A funny take on national leaders showing great concern;
“Bandera smoothie”*(3);
And, of course, the billboard composed by Baba Nadia from the village of Mygalky*(4).
I feel an immense load of enjoyment and pride about the fact that we are Ukrainians and that we stay in good spirits!
Glory to Ukraine!!!!
*(1) KVN is a Russian humour TV show, where Zelensky’s Kvartal 95 comedy troupe originated back in 2003.
*(2) So that his body wouldn’t lay in earth in vain, but instead would fertilize some plants.
*(3) A newly coined local name for Molotov cocktail.
*(4) That simple homemade board stated: YOU BITCHES, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY VILLAGE AND UKRAINE! Signed: GRANDMA NADIA
