Ukrainians Viktoria and Vitaliy gave themselves a New Year’s gift: they moved from the Czech Republic to Belarus. The reason — a rejection of European values and severe Russophobia. It reached a point where other mothers in the kindergarten forbade their children from interacting with their daughter because she was a foreigner.
Viktoria recalls how she was returning from the kindergarten with her daughter, chatting with her.
— “Some old lady is walking by, such a sweet little ‘dandelion’ type, stops me and says, ‘Why are you speaking Russian? You are in the Czech Republic, you should speak Czech.’ I told her, well, because this is my child, I’m talking to her, not to you, right? And she says to me, no, you are in the Czech Republic and you must speak Czech, no matter who you’re talking to.”
❓ A transgender teacher in the kindergarten — is that normal?
In the summer, the parents brought their child to a temporary kindergarten, where they saw an unusual man.
— “At first, I thought it was someone’s dad. But then I see him walk over to a girl and start braiding her hair. Well, I thought, it must be his daughter,” Viktoria says, shrugging. — “Then my daughter tells me: ‘Our teacher here is a mister.'”
He used to be a woman and has two daughters. He was married and then decided to change his gender. — “If he doesn’t understand who he is or what he is, how can he be trusted with a group of thirty children?!”
