Zelensky to consider replacing Catherine the Great statue with gay porn star monument in Odesa
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/13/22 | Brady Knox

Posted on 07/13/2022 12:44:19 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

A petition demanding the demolition of a statue of Russian Empress Catherine the Great to be replaced with a statue honoring gay U.S. porn star Billy Herrington has acquired enough signatures to ensure that it must be considered by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

As of the publication of this report, the petition, which comes months into Russia's war in Ukraine, had 25,786 signatures. It is required by law that any petition surpassing 25,000 signatures must be considered by the president of Ukraine. The petition must be considered within 10 days of reaching the required number of signatures.

The petition, started on May 20 by Ukrainian activist Oleksiy Yuriyovych Matveev, decries Catherine the Great as an oppressive figure to Ukrainians, claiming she "caused great damage to Ukrainian statehood and culture." He added, "The very fact of erecting this monument was a terrible mistake, and every day of its continued existence signals that Odessa is in the zone of Russian cultural influence."

The petition gives several reasons as to why a gay U.S. porn star should take her place, mainly that it will serve as a "renunciation of the infamous Russian heritage and a loud statement that Odessa is not some provincial town of the Russian Empire. That Odessa is not a part of Russian culture but has its own culture and sense of humor." He further added that the statue will be "a clear signal that Ukraine supports the LGBT community."

I think it would be a first. Does anyone know if there is any statue in public view of a porn star anywhere?

Not reputed, rumored by her enemies. She was promiscuous with many men though and was a despot, so the only great thing about her is that she wanted Russia to catch up to the Age of Enlightenment in science and culture that Europe was experiencing.

So the headline is pretty misleading and infers that this is Zelensky’s idea when in fact it is a petition driven proposal that he must consider. Doubtful that the Catherine The Great monument will come down as it is a historic tourist attraction and was the bane of the Bolsheviks. The whole gay Billy Harrington having a beer statue is pretty obviously a joke and even the activist who started the petition admitted it would be funny.

Isn’t it amazing that Nancy and her minions impeached Trump after accusing him of doing the exact same thing Biden bragged about doing on video, and not one person in the media has ever mentioned this as far as I can tell.

Liberal logic 101: Impeach a Republican President for the suspected extortion of the Ukraine for which there is zero evidence.

Take a democrat who bragged on video about extorting the Ukraine and make him President

Zero chance Zelensky will consider this Putin effort to defame him.

There's a erection of BJ clinton in Kosovo, does that count?

Are you a teenager or a Leftist? Not that there is much of a difference.

I'm pretty sure about one thing--you would never say that in person (one hopes), so maybe you should can the rhetoric.

Of course the comments are loaded with people who read the headline only and not the article.

Did you even read the article?

I would absolutely say it in person, you scum.

I protested three years against a dictator, in front of his palace, and saw people shot down in the street, and was thrown in prison twice. A couple of my friends were murdered by agents of that shithead. Thats when I was much younger.

Face you, a pathetic minion of a tinpot dictator? No problem. At my age, I am looking for a good reason to die. Taking one of the worlds minions of Satan with me looks like a good way to go. I will be in the US again next spring. We can make a date.

Screw off with your labels.

The story is about a petition and has nothing to do with what Zelensky is considering.

And if you really think the invasion of that country, cities destroyed and thousands dead, prime fighting for their lives,
Has something to do with a damn gay statute petition,
You’re a damn moron.
Idiots like you deserve the disasters that are coming.

"At my age, I am looking for a good reason to die."

Why are you posting on an American forum instead of volunteering for the front lines on Ukraine then?

You and your fellow posters, based on what they put here, have no appreciation for what the people of the US have labored to create for themselves and their posterity, and cheer on politicians who would sell out their felloew countrymen for a cut of the money laundered from the pockets of those they supposedly represent.
Your post, and those of others, devolve into threats and invective when questioned, which is why those farmers started dropping Redcoats at the Concord bridge and along the road back to Boston.

Maybe you should stay home and work to improve your own country instead of picking the pockets of America.
