Bathed in blood - a photo on Flickriver

Bathed in blood

            First off: no UNESCO world heritage was harmed for this image.
Back in the day when I had a crush on Russian literature and language (it’s a widespread German trait it seems… maybe we feel Russians have a similar, familiar abyss in their souls or something) I puzzled together a cardboard version of Moscow’s Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, which is undeniably magnificent and the most memorable part of the Red Square. Yesterday it drowned in a bucket of symbolic red paint.

If you feel hurt in your patriotic feelings rest assured it’s nothing against the pain and the horror your country forces on your neighbours. In light of the garbage I’ve read and been sent during the last weeks I ask you to keep your propaganda to yourself. Please have the decency to particularly refrain from a) telling me whom I or my country should or shouldn’t be welcoming into our homes - we feel very comfortable in making this decision ourselves; and b) offering to  free us from our governments and “Ukrainian influence”. I’d love to point out that we are perfectly able to get rid of our governments if we feel the urge to. It’s called election. And aside from Ukrainians obviously not being keen on your interference the fact that our brave neighbours call themselves Europeans with such fervour fills us with pride. If you can’t control your need to spread what the little Botox monster told you to believe I wish to answer you in advance in the immortal words of my hero Roman Hrybov, when he addressed the Moskva. (And boy, do his curses have power, right?)
