Angry Mob Throws Ukrainian Politician Vitaly Zhuravsky In Garbage

by JASmius

Nothing metaphorical about this, is there?



For the record:

Vitaly Zhuravsky (born May 8, 1955) is a Ukrainian MP elected to the Verkhovna Rada in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election for Party of Regions from the Zhytomyr region.  He is the author of controversial draft law on defamation in 2012.

If you follow the link on the draft law on defamation, you'll find the Wikipedia page is all in Ukrainian, so I have no idea why this crowd dumpsterized him.  However, the London Daily Mail reports that the aforementioned defamation law cracked down on "anti-government" protestors, and at the time of its passage Ukraine had a pro-Russian puppet government, since overthrown, so the respective motivations and allegiances of Mr. Zhuravsky and his sanitation crew are pretty much what you would have suspected.

Pity Vladimir Putin couldn't be "disposed" of that easily.
