The Rivne relay of the struggle against such a negative phenomenon in our society as "khokhlism" is being taken up by the "youth third sector" of Lutsk. On the Theater Square of our city, at the public initiative of the NGO "National Alliance" and the NGO "Pora!", an action of the all-Ukrainian campaign "What is khokhlism?" was held. \n For the consideration of ordinary passers-by, activists of the respective NGOs demonstrated a kind of "flash-mob": at the scene of the event, two tents were placed with markers indicating the presence of the territory of "khokhols" and "Ukrainians". On the "khokhols" tents, campaign symbols of "Choice 2004 – for Yanukovych" were attached; in turn, from the "Ukrainians" side, slogans "Yes! Yushchenko!" rang out. The former "symbolically" abused alcohol and smoked, while performing songs by Verka Serduchka; the latter sang the hit of the band "Gryndzholy" "Razom nas bahato, nas ne podolaty". \n Also, to all Lutsk residents interested in this action, activists of the "National Alliance" handed out leaflets with the inscription "Caution. Khokhlism" and presented for review a "Khokhol-Ukrainian Dictionary" from "A" to "Ya". \n According to the organizers of the respective theatrical performance, the majority of Ukrainians, being convinced of their own inferiority and national inadequacy, have formed a new stratum of our society – "khokhols", who are characterized by communication in surzhyk, use of profanity, apoliticality, loss of a sense of patriotism, national dignity, and alcohol abuse. \n \n \n
