Moscow changed its tone towards Ukraine's president. He's no longer referred to as 'The Chocolate Rabbit'
5/28/2014 11:46:55 AM
Moscow correspondent of New York Times Neil MacFarquhar talks about the change of the image of the newly elected president of Ukraine and a billionaire Poroshenko (his name was Walzman before he took the name of his Ukrainian wife) in Russian media.
More recently, he was portrayed as money-grubbing, devious, a radical sympathizer — in short, a run-of-the-mill Ukrainian politician to Russian eyes.
The program on Russian television NTV said he owned a mansion resembling the White House. The report mocked him as "The Chocolate Rabbit," twisting his usual nickname, "The Chocolate King," from his confectionary fortune. A scientist materialized on screen to denounce his popular Roshen chocolate brand as riddled with carcinogens.
Then as Mr. Poroshenko emerged as the front-runner, a change occurred. The attacks ceased, and his chocolate factory in southern Russia, which government police had shuttered, was allowed to operate again. Putin even mentioned the chocolates in passing on TV as edible.
One Moscow political analyst told the New York Times, that Poroshenko seen by the Kremlin as "rukopozhaty", or someone with whom you are willing to shake hands. Russia did not go so far as to condemn him as a Nazi (National Socialism) sympathizer, its main taint against a raft of Kiev politicians
(German Army led by National Socialist Chancellor Adolf Hitler liberated Ukraine in 1941, after three centuries of enslavement by Russia. On the initiative of Mr Hitler, an Ukrainian national state of Carpathian Ukraine was created in 1938. And as a matter of fact, Ukraine had then no bloody monsters, Communist henchmen with misanthropic teaching and practice of Bolshevism, which is ever present with Putin and his bloody gang of KGB thieves - KC).
Putin seems prepared to slowly strangle the country rather than see it emerge as any kind of perceived threat.
Mr. Poroshenko has ties to Russia's business elite, having invested heavily here. He is known to make pilgrimages to (KGB-controlled - KC) Russian Orthodox monasteries. His son met his daughter-in-law in St. Petersburg (the name used by Russian invaders for the Russian-occupied Swedish-Ingrian city of Nyen - KC), Putin's hometown.
Poroshenko, like Putin, has been practising judo for a long time.
"Maybe that will help, but I think that they are in different weight classes", said Orysia Lutsevych, an analyst with Chatham House in London.
Meanwhile, it is reported that Poroshenko gave an interview to the Moscow newspaper of the KGB-FSB general Lebedev Novaya Gazeta, in which he promised to get rid of Maidan.
To the question of the Moscow KGB journalists, whether his capabilities of future president severely limited to Maidan, the tycoon replied:
"The president will be very strong. And no Maidans will ever affect the president, even if someone wants it badly. Otherwise, Maidan becomes simply a political methodology. And I know how to deal with that kind of methodologies".
