Сонет #16

Я скажу тебе: «Послушай!» 

Ты ответишь: «Не спеши.

Дождик шлепает по лужам. 

Посидим, давай, в тиши. 


Ты замёрзла? Я согрею. 

Дай, в ладошки подышу.  

Я понять тебя сумею.

И ни слова не скажу.»


Посидим немного молча, 

Прислонясь плечом к плечу. 

Я подумаю: «Не стоит» 

И, как прежде, промолчу. 


На столе всплакнёт свеча. 

Нет смысла спорить сгоряча.

I am witty enough to be wild... strong enough to build the life I want... proud enough not to be arrogant... And yet, smart enough to understand the consequence of the above... VGM

  I would like to address my people today.   When I am saying, my people, I mean my Ukrainian and Russian friends and family. My dear Russian friends and family! I understand and respect your silence. My heart is breaking to see how lost we all are.  How can I explain to my child that her DNA is based on hatred?... I can't imagine her Ukrainian and Russian chromosomes being in the state of war with each other... Please, take care of one another! Please, be safe! I love you all with all my heart! My dear Ukrainian friends and family! I am so proud of your strength and courage! I understand and respect how much you love your country and your freedom! My heart is bleeding with you! I am praying every day for your safety! I love you more than you can ever imagine! You are my heroes! I guess our nationality is solely our decision these days...   I can be pronounced a nationalist by stating:  "I am a  Ukrainian"  as much as "I am a Russian" I am not looking for unders

A vision...

This is how I see the future of Crimea… 1. It should become an independent republic under the Ukrainian flag. Remaining under Russia is a financial, economic  and political suicide. Russia is going to suffer the consequences of the Ukrainian invasion for years to come.  2. I see a democratic parliament where EVERY NATIONALITY of Crimea is represented. Inclusivity can’t be underestimated! Over the last eight years the Russian population was artificially inflated in Crimea.  3. Crimea, including Sevastopol, should become a MILITARY FREE zone. It will bring peace to the whole Black Sea region. Its military defense should be supported by the Ukrainian military located on the mainland, using the newest technologies.  4. Crimea is a gorgeous peninsula that has been mistreated for hundreds of years. Its beauty - is a natural resource that must be finally introduced to the world! The main focus should be on agriculture  and INTERNATIONAL TOURISM. I see a great potential for Crimean prosperity

Once upon a time, a little boy was born…  He loved the world, the sky, the woman who smiled at him and smelled like milk…  He loved the unshaven, tired man, that held him in his arms…  He inhaled the peaceful life of a simple human…  The boy didn’t know… he had to die… because  someone decided his life was expendable… VGM

History never repeats itself…  or… does it? Now is the time when Russian last names will be changing from  Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov…  to  Ivanoff, Petroff, Sidoroff…  It reminds me of Jews, Germans, Poles, Turks, Tatars and many other nationalities who were born and lived in the USSR. Many of those people changed their last names to sound Russian to save their lives in the 20th century…  History never repeats itself… or does it? …   VGM   PS: Every remodeling starts with demolition…

A blind man…

I remember my great grandfather... I was absolutely fascinated by him...  I don’t remember how old he was at that time. He had lost his hearing and vision completely… Even though he was always able to recognize my great grandmother… he spent lifetime with her… I kept asking myself what does his world  feels  like? …   It seemed  to be incomprehensible, scary and devastating… The same event is happening now, not with one human being, but with a nation… nation of deaf and blind…where the mole is a king… VGM
