The Ukraine You've Never Seen before

for the last seven and a half hours and that's because I didn't do anything other than sit in a chair have a cup of coffee have a beer in town some pizza nothing of interest I'm cold and cold and I want to keep going train that I hope it arrives soon. I am traveling overnight to Odessa. She's nice, especially I'll just look for a mosaic. Wow, think how many people have left that train station to pass by Soviet stars and celebrities. The cosmonauts that everyone wanted to get off. to odessa and here we are, behind me there is a statue of this arena, catherine the great, a woman who, according to rumors, used to like to play with thoroughbred horses, now i don't know if that's true or not, but what Yes, I know that in 1794 she considered that a city should be built here on the shores of the Black Sea and they should call it Odessa, you dirty bastard.

Well, now we are heading to the mosaic. I want to show you here in Odessa, we are passing through a region, a famous region, the city called maldavanka a word that every soviet citizen knew because moldavanka was the capital of the jewish mafia in a soviet union they controlled the port and therefore all the smuggling routes that came in and out and the contraband that went in and out of the country moldavanka now, of course it's a little safer, I think in those days there wasn't any shady babushka around to hit me, I don't think you'll ever know, even if you're always on guard in the Moldovan mafia, guys look where we've come.

This is the mosaic I want to show you here in Odessa. It's not very impressive. It's just a small Soviet mosaic of a small sailboat on the gentle waves. It is not as impressive as the monumental ones we have

seen

before, but it represents the black sea the black sea the ancient waterway that led to the Phoenicians the Venetians the Greeks the Romans all traded in the black sea and that is what gave the City of Odessa its reason for being that is why a warm climate port was built here so that the Russian Empire could import its products all year round and send its navy when necessary. wow, look at it, how amazing, how sweet, I would love to have a Soviet mosaic on the side of my crew, shopka, lucky bastards who live here.
