The Ukrainian political Internet, which has recently become a real laughing zone, has been enriched with yet another pearl of folk humor. The variants of the name for the separatist entity that Viktor Yanukovych's supporters have been talking so much about lately are being lively discussed online.
The most popular of the existing variants of the name is the South-Eastern Ukrainian Autonomous Republic, abbreviated as PISUAR.
We believe that the proposed abbreviation, firstly, fully corresponds to the epic "Russian spirit" so dear to the supporters of the aforementioned autonomy; secondly, it significantly simplifies the work of journalists, because from now on one can write briefly and clearly: "PISUAR is again threatening Yushchenko," "Havrysh set off on a one-day visit to PISUAR," "Residents of PISUAR are protesting against the streams of dirt directed at V. Yanukovych."
Or even better: "Hands off PISUAR!!!"
