#62. PUTIN HUYLO
They begin gathering in Sunday’s early morning cold soon after the invasion.
Mostly young. A few carry blue and yellow Ukrainian flags, others wear the flags around their shoulders.
They stand in protest, holding handmade signs in English and Ukrainian. Stand With Ukraine. Love Live Ukraine. Russian Warship Go Fuck Yourself. If You Let Ukraine Fall Who Will Be Next? And a photo of Putin with Hitler’s mustache. My fave: Putin = Huylo (loosely translated, Putin is a Dickhead).
A chant rises: Putin is a Killer! An announcement: At 1:30 we’ll be joining a protest at the Russian Consulate. Join us! But it’s mostly a subdued crowd.
Meanwhile, a guitarist plays, a woman sells second-hand clothes, another offers her freshly crocheted bags and beanies.
Life goes on in Washington Square.
