\nSo what \u2014 had a good laugh at what Zavalskyy, the would-be language commissioner, said? Go ahead, laugh it off \u2014 and then start crying. Because here\u2019s the punchline: he\u2019s going to be appointed. Really.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And how masterfully<\/em> they arranged everything. Real strategists, honestly.<\/p>\n

They managed to persuade a few supposedly sane (turns out, not so much) public figures \u2014 people with real credibility and public support \u2014 to endorse this candidacy.<\/p>\n

Just recently, the well-known activist Ostap Ukrainets publicly backed Zavalskyy and even announced he’d serve as a \u201cmilitary representative\u201d within this structure. Something like a delegate for certain groups. Sounds impressive, doesn\u2019t it? Almost like a serious institution.<\/p>\n

I watched Zavalsky\u2019s interview, and my first thought was that this had to be satire. A comic character, completely clueless about the very field he\u2019s supposed to defend. A living meme.<\/p>\n

Installing someone like that at the head of a major institution only makes sense if your goal is to dismantle it, humiliate it, and turn it into a full-blown circus. And let\u2019s be honest \u2014 they\u2019re doing a great job.<\/p>\n
