The University Vienna is currently booking the full ukrainian “Art and Propaganda” package (they actually will organize everything, you just book them via your local embassy) for its students, to make sure all minds are primed to think the right way, and everyone still claps, when
good old, not at all political propagandist Maria Mezentseva from great Servant of the People party -

tells your average austrian university audience, that - quote:
“The peace formula which president Selenskyj initiated already in 2022, you know already the amount of the warcrimes, according to the prosecutor general office and the data we are getting weekly - we are talking about 130.000 registered warcrimes. And it means not only you know damaged properties or unfortunately related sexual violence crime. Amongst victims, by the way there are children, boys and girls - which is absolutely devastating.
And this proves to us, that only in unified efforts we can defeat the Evil. The Evil which influenced our energy system - our common food security. Our daily life. Our peace. On the subcontinent of Europe. And affected the project which europeans have been building for 75 years.
I truly believe that only together, “alles zusammen”, only like this we can defeat, the highest crime, which is the crime of aggression, by establishing international tribunal for this particular crime. Because everything we are talking about in terms of war crimes, daily committed by russian army - this has a beginning, and it began with the first invasion into Ukraine in 2014. Invasion into Georgia in 2008. In the nineties this was Moldova - we dont want this list to continue.
Therefore I highly salute also the decision of the austrian govenrment to join this special register for warcrimes, where Ukrainians - the victims, can receive for material and non material losses the compensations. And this is extremely important friends, because we are all united in the understanding, that russia has to pay. Not austrian tax payers! Not french colleagues, not Germans, not australians, or americans - but russian funds and frozen assets should serve that purpose.
Thank you very much, for bringing this issue via photographs, via images of ukrainian daily life - and thank you very much for activities of your embassy - here in Kiev and elsewere in the regions, also in my home city Charkiew, which itself and the region of Charkiew is under daily shelling, thats why we call for more support for civilians. It means air defense, you know - that this is not directly lets say an address to Austria, but also to many, many allies - where Austria helps us to lobby this important issues to protect energy infrastructure, to education facilities -- so finally children in Charkiew will come up from underground schools in metro stations, and be able to study offline.
Dear friends, I’m sure todays evening will bring you a little bit closer to the emotions we feel daily. I salute you from the capitol Kiev, where we continue to conduct our parliamentary session, I want to thank the ambassador, and I want to thank of course to the organizers, und Vielen Dank für Universität and all the guests who have gathered today.
I promise to practice my german more and next time to conduct my speech in german.
Noch einmal vielen Dank für alles - sie machen für unsere Leuten und Kinder. So about children, and that would be my last -- uhmn red line.
Thank you so much for supporting the initiative to bring kids back, the civilians and war prisonors who are kept since 2014 by russia illegaly -- is devastating. The children stories are even more devastating.
I would like to thank you for raising the voice for this 19.000 children who are kept in russia and in Belarus illegally.
Thank you for supporting this initiatives to bring this childrens back. I’m sure the number of 500 of them who already returned back home will increase, but we should make it together with responsible organizations like UN and ICRC.
Noch einmal vielen Dank, it was a big honor to speak in front of you.”
Just your usual, very normal photoart-agent for a brother and sister duo organizing a photo exhibition in the University of Vienna, I’d say.
Propaganda (weniger Inhalt, aber FORM!) hat ja wieder niemand entdeckt.
Am Allerwenigsten das gesamte versammelte Rektorat.
Ich stell mir da jetzt vor, wie das ein Jus, oder ein IR Professor in ner Vorlesung aufarbeitet - ohne über den Propaganda Anteil zu stolpern…
Das schafft auch nur mehr ein gelernter Österreicher.
edit: Oh großartige Neuigkeiten! Die Österreichisch Ukrainische Gesellschaft hat ein Buch zum Selbstkostenpreis herausgebracht, das bereits in den Oberstufen von österreichischen Gymnasien verteilt und behandelt wird! Manchmal hat man aber auch einfach Glück als neuer Schulbuchverlag…
edit2: Auch wunderschön: “Herr Prosecutor General, ich weiß nicht ob sie noch zwei Minuten haben, aber wie sehen sie eigentlich ihre Rolle in der Ukrainischen Gesellschaft, mehr so “emotional stabilisierend”, oder --?” “Yes thank you for this very important question. We have 10 more minutes. I will try to answer important question.” -- then the Prosecutor General starts reading the answer from the screen in front of him… (Eye movement.)
Gut werden sie an dieser Stelle sagen - dann ist es eigentlich an der Zeit nochmal vier Jahre Krieg im Detail zu planen - nicht?
Danke Gustav - übernimm du dich mal - ehm, sorry, übernimm du das mal.
