"I have two bachelor's degrees, but I can only work as a prostitute."
"I'm sorry for my grandmother— she's an eagle over Stalingrad, and I'm just a prostitute."
One day, on the streets of Ukraine, a skinny woman took to the streets with her grandmother's relics, which were many, many Soviet medals. A young man inquired about the origin of the medals and bought them, including a rare "Hero of the Soviet Union Medal."
The woman's name was Nadya, probably not her real name, and her grandmother was a pilot and a Soviet hero. But now, her life is on the verge of collapse. The whole of Ukraine is full of women who have lost their feet, the pressure of competition in the pornography industry is very high, and she has no one to patronize in her old age, and she can only rely on selling her grandmother's medal to survive. Some speculate that Nadya's grandmother may have been a famous female combat pilot and Soviet hero Antonina Fedorovna Hujakova, who died in 1998.
It can be said that the victory of the Soviet-German war is inseparable from the bloody sacrifice of Soviet heroines like Antonina. Heroes deserve to be respected, but how did their descendants end up here? Now, let go of your doubts and draw your eyes to last April.
In the rich and wealthy city of Dubai, an incident occurred that shocked the whole network: more than forty naked female models appeared on the balcony of an apartment building, scratched their heads, and were photographed and posted online. This is undoubtedly a bombshell for a country where women go out with veils and robes. Soon, the police arrested the naked models and arrested the "organizer" behind them, Vitaly Gretchin.
The investigation revealed that the man was Ukrainian-American, and that all of the models he organized were from Eastern Europe, and most of them were Ukrainians. But when this major scandal reached Ukraine, the reaction of the people in the country was extremely cold, as if they had become accustomed to such things.
Then there is Ukraine, once the world's third-largest military power.
Ukraine during the Soviet era was a powerful industrial country capable of producing space rockets, spaceships, aircraft carriers, main battle tanks, very large transport aircraft and various large precision instruments and equipment. Even the hull of the Chinese Liaoning was bought from Ukraine.
Now Ukraine is under Russian artillery fire, and the people are in turmoil. Even before the outbreak of war, life did not improve, especially for women.
In Ukraine, there are two businesses that are very popular with Europeans and Americans, one is the spring buying trip and the other is the surrogacy trip. The pornography industry is banned in most countries, and European and American countries have always prided themselves on ethics and morality, rule of law and democracy, but here, they need 10-75 US dollars at a time, equivalent to 63-474 yuan, which can be said to be quite cheap. And these are all supported by the Ukrainian government.
"European womb", "world surrogacy center" (all of which are smeared by the Western media), human trafficking is widespread, red light districts are rampant, pornography and gambling are rampant, and this is now Ukraine.
Why did the once world power fall to this point?
Why did the children of heroes go into the industry and make a living by selling?
Today, let us break through the fog of history and explore the truth.
Looking at military history, people can find that in ancient times, there were many examples of the formation of special forces, such as Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory, etc., among which there were also stories of women throwing themselves into the battlefield, such as the stories of Yangmen female generals, Mu Guiying hanging commanders, and other popular stories, and even in the process of circulation, it was inevitable to add oil and vinegar and add some legendary color. In modern times, however, women in the military are often medical personnel.
Affected by World War I and World War II, the proportion of female members of armed forces around the world has increased significantly, but most countries still do not have women in combat roles. It was not until October 8, 1941, that the People's Defense Commission of the USSR issued a formal order proposing the creation of a 122nd Flying Group composed of women.
During World War II, the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses in the face of a sudden German invasion, and in an official article published in 1976, the Soviet Union admitted that it had lost 70% of the ground aircraft on the first day of the war, for a total of 1136 aircraft. At the end of the first week of the offensive, Germany claimed to have destroyed 4,017 aircraft and admitted to losing 150 of its own. Therefore, the replenishment of pilots cannot be delayed, and the combination of factors such as tense war and women's high emotions has contributed to the birth of the 122nd Flying Brigade.
At the time, the Aviation Regiment was a fundamental component of the Soviet Air Force, equivalent to the British Royal Air Force Wing or the American Army Air Force. Three squadrons form a regiment, three crews form a squadron, and one crew has three aircraft.
The "young eagles" of the 122nd Flying Group were divided into three air force flying regiments after training, namely the 586th Combat Aviation Regiment, the 587th Combat Aviation Regiment, and the 588th Combat Aviation Regiment.
Nadya's grandmother, Antonina Fedorovna Hujakova, was part of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment and was reorganized into the 46th Guards Night Bomber Regiment in 1943. The 46th Regiment was the most ill-equipped of the three regiments. The Bo-2 biplane they flew was a 1830s aircraft with a pine skeleton, an open double cockpit, and a linen skin, enough to carry only one light bullet and could only attack light targets, such as troops, unloaded cars, etc. Until the end of the war, the Bo-2 had neither a parachute nor a self-defense machine gun, and was not equipped with any weapons other than four small shell mounts, let alone communication equipment such as radar.
The Bo-2 was not lethal enough to carry only one light bomb, and was a very backward equipment in World War II, but its night bombing effect was very good. The pilot will turn off the aircraft identification lights at 1000-1300 meters above the target, cut off the gasoline, and glide, so the engine is silent. By the time the Germans heard the whirring of their wings across the sky, the planes were already above them.
Immediately after the bombing, leave. And the Bo-2 uses a wooden frame and linen cloth skin, only the engine and weapons are metal, radar is difficult to detect, and rely on ultra-low altitude flight to hide the trace, simply come and go without a trace. Therefore, the Germans believed that these Soviet female pilots would use magic, always sneaking in the night and magically disappearing, like witches riding broomsticks. That's how the name of the Night Witch bomber regiment came about, with the fear and anger of the Germans against Soviet female pilots.
Although the "Witch of the Night" has limited lethality and is difficult to inflict heavy damage on the German army, frequent night raids will make the German army in a state of defense for a long time, and the spirit is tense, which will inevitably affect their rest, reduce the combat effectiveness during the day, and affect the supply of weapons. Made an indelible contribution to the victory of the war.
Taking Hujakova as an example, looking back on her entire career, she has achieved the following results in total:
926 sorties were sorted, 130 tons of bombs were dropped and 8 million leaflets were distributed
173 bombings were carried out against German positions, facilities and equipment
It destroyed 3 German warehouses, destroyed 12 German armored vehicles, 2 ferries, and a train
It also suppressed and severely damaged four German artillery companies in the air raid
In one operation, he nearly killed the famous Marshal von Kleist
On May 15, 1945, Antonina was awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", the "Hero of the SOVIET Union" Gold Star Medal (NO.6150) and the Order of Lenin. In addition, she was awarded the Order of the Red Banner twice and the Grand Patriotic War Medal of the First Class three times.
Today, the story of the "Witch of the Night" is part of Russian culture, and there are many books, poems and films about them. There are also many film and television dramas that also put their deeds on the screen, including film and television dramas "Fighter Brigade", Swedish songs "Night Witch - Night Witche", etc., and some netizens even jokingly called "capitalism praises the Soviet Union".
With the end of the war, most of the female soldiers were demobilized, and the female soldiers who remained in the army were also withdrawn from the combat department, and only a few female soldiers who were extremely passionate about aviation chose to be merged into the male department, or were assigned as test pilots, navigators, etc. It is difficult for women to find their rightful place in the military.
After the end of the war, Antonina lived a comfortable and peaceful life in the city of Alexandria in Kirovgrad until her death on December 27, 1998. She was buried locally in Alexandria. There, there is also her monument. Thankfully, the Soviet heroine did not see her granddaughter as a prostitute and tearfully sold her medal.
In Nadya's memory, her grandmother cherished her medals very much, and only when she was happy would she allow us to touch them, and would often hold her in her arms, telling about the previous years, how to fly planes, how to drive enemies out of the country, and how to win the Great Patriotic War.
But now, as a descendant of the heroes of the Soviet Union, Nadya will not have any government favors or media attention. She was nothing more than an old and decaying prostitute.
In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine became independent. This is both the beginning of history and the root of evil.
After independence, Ukraine embarked on the road to de-Sovietization, and in recent years it has been constantly cleaning up Soviet sculptures and purging soviet deeds from history books. The Soviet Union became an aggressor in Ukraine, leaving only stigma. They erected statues of blatant humiliation of Stalin and broke with their close relative Russia. Refusal to recognize history, refusal to recognize the exploits of Soviet heroes. Nadya's grandmother was not as honored as a hero in Russia as her comrades-in-arms.
After Independence from the Soviet Union, Ukraine repeatedly jumped between the European Union and Russia, the external policy was wavering, political contradictions gradually appeared within the country, the internal national divisions, and the people in power only knew how to seek private interests, and did not care about the people's lives and deaths, and finally led to Ukraine becoming weaker and weaker. A good hand, a bad game.
The premiere of the famous Ukrainian feminist film "Ukraine is not a brothel"
Once the world's third-largest military power, it has declined, with political corruption, economic collapse, and even the most basic economic base and source of wages for the people cannot be guaranteed. Many young people, through their normal work, are far from meeting their desired standard of living, so many have chosen to work in gray, and even government officials have earned extra money through the pornography industry and have been pushing for the legalization of brothels. (To this day, prostitution in Ukraine is not entirely legal.)
More and more Ukrainian women are joining the industry, and Ukraine once became the most widespread country in the world for underage pornography. According to incomplete statistics, more than 30% of the women engaged in the underground black industry in Ukraine are minors. Ukrainian women trafficked to various countries cost only $2,000 to $10,000. The proliferation of the sex industry has made Ukraine the country with the largest number of HIV infections in Europe. According to data released by the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in 2017, Ukraine reported 246846 HIV patients as of 2016, with a population-wide infection rate of 33.7 per thousand, the first in Europe, and the number and proportion far exceeded the number and proportion of the second British 150699 (7.9 per thousand).
Stills from the movie "Ukraine is not a brothel"
In 2005, in Dolina, southwestern Ukraine, a young woman with a double bachelor's degree lost her job and became an ordinary prostitute. Compared to other victims who left, Nadya, who stayed in Ukraine, even felt lucky because she was at least alive and still in her hometown.
As the domestic economic situation continues to deteriorate and the lives of women at the bottom become more difficult, a special group of "Ukrainian daughters-in-law" has emerged, who take marriage visas to the Middle East and Southern Europe, but are often sold as sex slaves, subjected to various abuses, and even killed.
It was Nadya who said: "Later I learned how terrible things happened to them, they became sex slaves, some of them had good lives, they saved them by taking good people, and they survived." But more girls were brutally murdered after playing perverted tricks. ”
Smash the statue of Lenin
After the pro-EU movement in 2014, Ukraine's ethnic divisions were unstoppable. The statue of Lenin in Kiev was demolished and abandoned by pro-EU radicals, who thought it would bring them closer to the EU and the United States, thereby gaining the support of the Western world. Who would have thought that the situation had deteriorated so badly that even the pornography industry had begun to roll in. In 2015, Nadya was in trouble: prostitution alone could not solve her own problems. This staged the scene we described at the beginning.
"Sold, sold, all sold, The Order of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner, and hers — the hero of the Soviet Union." I'm sorry for my grandmother—she's an eagle over Stalingrad, and I'm just a prostitute. ”
Nadya revealed in an interview:
"After 2015, business has become more and more difficult to do, and the women in the east have also grabbed business with us. (Referring to Luhansk and Donetsk, which became independent in eastern Ukraine after the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis) and later... I can't live anymore... I sold my grandmother's medal. ”
There was no news about her later, or maybe because there were too many women like this, and she was like a bead of water, blending into the ocean of Ukraine.
But Nadya sold not only medals of honor, but also Soviet heroes, and sold a piece of history.
But, after all, Nadya had something else to sell besides her own body, and the more unfortunate woman than her had nothing but herself. So, she was lucky again.
The pornography industry is too involved, making consumer prices very low, so the majority of runaway girls began to look for other ways out.
"Surrogacy"!
Now Ukraine is called the "European womb" by some Western media because of the development of the surrogacy industry (note that this term is a smear rendered by the Western media). Surrogacy ads can be seen everywhere on the street, and babies of different genders can even be provided according to the needs of customers.
Surrogacy is against human morality and is banned in many countries. The only country where surrogacy is legal is now Ukraine except the United States.
Only the misfortune that happens to oneself can be called misfortune; only the human rights that can move oneself are called human rights.
European and American people who have always prided themselves on the rule of law and morality of human rights are regular customers in Ukraine, in addition to buying spring, it is surrogacy.
In the wealthy class in Europe and the United States, they believe that surrogacy is a very convenient way to have children, and they do not have to bear any risks of pregnancy. When they worry about their surrogate baby in the mansion, they don't care about the risks that the surrogate mother bears for the meager salary.
It can be seen from this that the seemingly progressive values of European and American countries are based on the exploitation of the broad masses of people in the third world.
Without these exploitations, their "progress" is like the root of nothing.
Recently, the sudden war between Russia and Ukraine has had a strong impact on this gray industry, especially the surrogate mothers who are already pregnant with Liujia are facing a dilemma, but their safety is rarely asked.
On March 9, the New York Post reported that due to legal restrictions, these surrogate mothers can only "stay in the war zone to have children for the West."
As the war worsened, a surrogacy center in Kiev called "BioTexCom" has recently been difficult to operate normally, and many surrogate mothers have chosen to flee. As the due date approached, the surrogacy center asked the women to return to the company and fulfill their contracts. A legal adviser at the center warned the surrogates not to give birth in neighboring countries, where commercial surrogacy for profit was banned. Once they are born in a foreign country, they will face a series of legal troubles. As a result, the BioTexCom Surrogacy Center converted an air raid shelter into a temporary clinic, arranging for the previously fleeing surrogate to hide in the bomb shelter to give birth.
Surrogates who are forced to return also have their own concerns, as they may not be able to receive their employers' compensation if they default. According to the center's offer, surrogacy costs around $43,000 to $70,000.
Ukrainian surrogate mothers must stay in war zones to give birth to children in the West
According to the Irish Independent, a couple in the country recently successfully took their son out of Ukraine, but ignored the surrogate mother.
Even more unfortunate than the "surrogate mothers", in Ukraine, a large number of girls are abducted and kidnapped to the Three-Way Zone every year, some of them stay there, and some of them are shipped to Europe. They are betrayed, raped, beaten, tortured or become organ suppliers, and most of them do not survive in their hometowns.
At the end of the article, the author must clarify a fact: despite the rapid development of the gray industry and the surrogacy industry, among the 23 million women in Ukraine, the total number of women engaged in the industry is still relatively small, and more Ukrainian women choose to resist the absurd world with their industrious hands. It is extremely disrespectful and impolite to describe Ukraine with words such as "European womb", "European brothel", "world surrogacy center", etc., and we must criticize the European and American media that used such words first, as well as those who used such words to smear Ukraine without knowing it.
But on the other hand, we have to admit that the historical encounters of some Ukrainian women have become the deepest darkness in modern history.
Perhaps, this is the "black under the lamp" under the beacon of "freedom and human rights".
