🇺🇦 Why I was right-wing (a nationalist) my entire conscious life and how I tried to create a rock band :) 🏠 I grew up in a family of patriots and it so happened that the teachers of our school were all patriots and taught us the correct things. I ended up in an environment already in school where honor was valued the most and we never had informers even if for some offense the whole class was punished, then no one turned in the guilty one and even did not accuse him. Even in the teenage age, when girls attacked boys, and boys girls, groping or undressing (then this was the norm) they never went further than underwear out of principles, although this was the era of gopniks due to the influence and propaganda of Russian series (Russian criminal culture which motivated alcohol, robberies and beatings). I recall that already in school I thought that our generation had no chances to become great, because the whole struggle was behind. How I was mistaken… ⚖️ Ukraine was not an ideal country. First of all, Russians ruled us. Pro-Russian oligarchs openly robbed us. Ukrainians were always limited in rights. Not knowing the Russian language we had no possibility to buy something on the internet, because in internet stores there simply was no Ukrainian, even some products did not have the Ukrainian language both Ukrainian and import. There were few translations of films into Ukrainian, and in the times of Yanukovych representatives of the authorities even fought against this as well as against Ukrainian music on radio and TV. And for any request to speak Ukrainian they hung on you the label of nationalist, or even radical. Accordingly, everyone who was against the oligarchy and the occupation of Ukraine by Russia automatically became nationalists. Even organizations and political forces officially ascribed nationalism to their ideology. If briefly, then in Ukraine everyone who was for Ukraine was considered a nationalist and right-wing, who for Russia — left-wing, and centrists were representatives of the oligarchs. Therefore in the fact that I was right-wing there was nothing strange. All pro-Ukrainian Ukrainians were right-wing, if they were active in political activity, of course. As a student they even invited me into the party “Svoboda” but I did not have money for monthly contributions, so I refused. ✊ With experience I became an anti-system person because I hated all that pro-Russian shit, Russification, manipulations, oligarchy and attended every protest and revolution in Lviv. In the student years I played in KVN (the same humorous show-contest where Zelenskyy performed), and also tried to create a rock band and I even had musicians of one very well-known in Lviv metal group even now (although my style was more rap-rock). But in Lviv there was constantly a shortage of a drummer, so we never started. But I became a solo singer, although I consider myself a rapper) And my songs can be known on musical platforms, although I am now changing the distributor, so they will be deleted and re-uploaded. Due to such my activity I had very many problems with the bureaucracy of the university and they even wanted to expel me but I, in the end, finished it) 📢 If you are more interested in my life, then subscribe to my Patreon channel (the link to it in the first comment). And, by the way, I am an introvert ;)
