    It’s not the first time. He also made teachers celebrate with iconographic portraits of Stepan Bandera (a ukrainian historical figure whose name is a scapegoat on local TV) to find out no one even know ho he looks. I find that a good display of how inept and gullible municipal workers are, and they also work with children and therefore produce new generations of vatniks.
