I have a sad story, indirectly related to the late Maushi. It happened in October 2011. On Wednesday, Zenit played in Donetsk with Shakhtar in the Champions League, and on Sunday in the Russian Championship with Rostov. Some of my friends from the SBG movement and I did the so-called "double" - we supported our favorite team in two away games in a row. It was decided to devote the three-day interval between the games to wandering around eastern Ukraine: from Donetsk to Kharkiv, then to Lugansk, and from there to Rostov. Current situation in Kharkiv. We write to online friends known from the football related public, they offer to travel to their area and spend time there. It's a little scary - a foreign city, a foreign country. But we had no enmity with metallist fans, communication in chats was friendly, so we take a beer and go to some Khrushchev yards on Naoki Avenue. In the specified place there are horizontal bars, on which a dozen young people aged 20-23 pull themselves to Misha Mwashi's track. It's funny to us - we're from the drinking side of the movement and Mwashi's healthy lifestyle pathos is comical to us. The people of Kharkiv were surprised by our beer and the response to the music, so they moved to 25/17. We stood around and chatted, it turned out that the boys were not so much into football, but simply into right-wing ideology: they refused the beer, we refused the offer to compete in the "exit by force", and there we parted. It was funny then, now it's sad: Russia had an active instrument of influence on the Russian-speaking Ukrainian youth, an instrument of that infamous "soft power": the Russian national narrative was one of the dominant ones among the youth of southeastern Ukraine. This can be seen from one of the leaders of the "Azov" terrorist. But at the same time in Russia, Russian nationalists began to systematically spread decay, and in Ukraine, Ukrainian nationalists, on the contrary, received systemic support: the symbols came to their senses and hired their youth.
