Even chatten met wat Oekraïense postorderbruiden over de situatie in hun land

Ik combineerde het vinden van mijn soulmate met praten over de politieke situatie in Oekraïne vanachter mijn computer.

Ah, Oekraïne. Het land van Tsjernobyl, de oranjerevolutie en postorderbruiden. Een land zo vol van cultuur dat je bijna zou vergeten dat er momenteel flink wat stront aan de knikker is in het op drie na grootste land van Europa. Gelukkig hebben we de de media om ons daar non-stop aan te herinneren, zoals ik jou er nu ook weer aan herinner. Voor wie niet heeft zitten opletten: alpha-Rus Poetin bedacht opeens dat Oekraïne van hem moest zijn en is het land stukje bij beetje aan het inpikken. De Oekraïners zelf zijn ondertussen in een miljoen kampen verdeeld. Al met al een rotzooitje, maar wel een rotzooitje dat de hele westerse wereld in zijn greep heeft. Zo ook mij. Genoeg reden dus om misschien niet het grootste, maar zeker het bekendste exportproduct van Oekraïne erover aan de tand te voelen. Ik schreef me in op dream-marriage.com, kocht wat credits, en chatte met Oekraïense postorderbruiden over de situatie in hun land en vond per ongeluk mijn soulmate.

Alevtina is de slimste potentiële soulmate die ik sprak. Ze woont in Kherson, een stad op de rand van waar er onrust heerst. Ze heeft een actieve, gezonde levensstijl en zoekt een man waarmee ze haar hart en ziel kan delen. Say no more, Alevtina.

Abel17:39:20

Alevtina08:42:12

Abel17:42:35

Yeah, I do. I'm a journalist.

Abel17:42:53

Can you tell me what's it like where you're form?

Alevtina08:43:00

Abel17:43:32

Do you mean it's fun in Ukraine?

Alevtina08:43:40

I am from South-East and the situation becomes really dangerous here…

Alevtina08:44:18

because the people who call themselves "new government" sent tanks to kill people here

Abel17:44:28

Is that why you want to marry a guy from another country?

Alevtina08:44:51

in my town it is more or less quiet

Alevtina08:45:23

no Abel, I am not looking specifically for a foreigner….

Alevtina08:45:39

I am searching for my soul mate

Abel17:45:45

Oh okay. Would you marry a guy from Russia?

Alevtina08:45:54

Abel17:46:22

I heard a lot of Ukrainian women don't date Russian guys

Alevtina08:46:22

Alevtina08:46:42

we are not afraid of Russians here

Alevtina08:46:50

Abel17:47:02

The news, isn't it true?

Alevtina08:47:04

Alevtina08:47:29

no, it is not true….

Abel17:47:41

Oh okay. What do you think about the situation then, are you pro-Russian?

Alevtina08:48:56

I love that type of the country, where people are not divided on Russian, Ukrainians or Jews

Alevtina08:49:04

like it used to be

Abel17:49:17

When did things change?

Alevtina08:49:31

now, after this coup in Kiev

Abel17:49:43

Have you been to Kiev lately?

Alevtina08:50:30

yes, few times, but when I saw radicals and Nazi there, I stopped going there\

Alevtina08:50:36

I do not like it

Abel17:50:44

What, wait, are there Nazi's there?

Alevtina08:52:06

of course… real fascists, who want to destroy everything, that is not pure Ukrainian in the country

Alevtina08:52:19

they say they want to clear the nation

Alevtina08:52:36

I do not like it at all

Abel17:53:01

I can imagine.

Alevtina08:53:13

I am pure Ukrainian…but I hate racism in any appearance

Alevtina08:53:36

Julia is de lekkerste Oekraïense die ik sprak, maar waarschijnlijk ook de domste. Ze komt uit Donetsk, en zit dus middenin het gesodemieter. Ze houdt van dansen en reizen, en absoluut niet van conflict. Ze zou mijn soulmate kunnen zijn.

Hey Julia, how are your doing?

Julia 07:59:36

Julia 07:59:41

Abel 17:00:10

Really? Do you feel Ukranian or Russian?

Julia 08:00:33

Julia 08:00:42

Abel 17:00:50

Why not?

Julia 08:02:03
