Working undercover: the luxury of Irkutsk communists

“For social justice! For a decent life! - says one of the communist slogans. It is the Communist Party that Olga Nosenko has represented since her youth, or to be more precise, since 1986. Many of our readers at that time were still walking under the table. Vitaly Matviychuk also associates himself with communists.

Our material today is about him and about them – about communism and communists. And most importantly, about the coincidence of goals and interests.

Let's start with the hardware. What is communism anyway? In short, it is an ideology in which the social system is based on the principles of equality and justice. In this society there are no rich or poor; any work is equally valuable and is aimed at the benefit of society.

There is no private property. There is no competition. Nationalization. Standards. Plans. Everything is common and free, but work (often hard) is required. In general, roughly speaking, communism is the antipode of existing capitalism. This is standardization and equalization, which have pros and cons, but ideally should lead to the happiness of the entire society.

A serious attempt to create that very happy ideal society we remember from the USSR; it was precisely this ideology that the great (and in some places terrible) state adhered to. A lot was accomplished then, but the ideal was not achieved. Although a utopia is just a utopia.

This is where the slogan familiar from childhood comes from:

“Workers of all countries, unite!” And the motto of the Communist Party is: “Russia! Work! Democracy! Socialism!".

We will not evaluate the methods that past communists used to achieve an ideal society and will not undertake to comment on the idea of ​​communism as such.

But we will be happy to analyze the activities of members of the Communist Party for their compliance with the ideals of Karl Marx and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Let's start with Olga Nosenko, one of the few truly faithful communists in our time. Maybe not de facto, but at least de jure. The majority cannot boast of this either. She joined the party at the age of 27, that is, for more than thirty years now lady in (with) red has been advocating for equality and justice in our stratified society.

Although not always. And to be more precise, on holidays. Party, of course, to match. And on weekdays Olga Nikolaevna does not like to wear red. Either he openly supports the capitalists, then he speaks out against the former communist governor Levchenko, or he dresses himself in luxury goods.

Recently, for example, an interesting video appeared where Ms. Nosenko was asked uncomfortable questions about her salary and the cost of wardrobe items. Denis Bukalov and his team went through the expensive “things” of the communist Nosenko, indicating the price of handbags and scarves.

And we share this interest. We are also curious how Ilyich’s behests about equality and justice correlate with accessories from fashion houses Prada, Dior, Chanel, Lou Vuitton, which cost more than the annual pension of the average Irkutsk region worker or pensioner.

Let us remind you, by the way, that Ms. Nosenko (and you can’t even call it anything else when she’s wearing Lou Vuitton) is a member of the ethics committee in the Legislative Assembly of the Irkutsk region. Although strictly speaking, this committee does not deal with such issues, but surely the members must have some kind of moral and ethical qualities in order to be accepted there?

The second hero of our publication is Vitaly Matviychuk, a deputy not of the regional parliament, but of the city duma. The former chairman of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation faction is Olga Nosenko’s constant and faithful companion at a variety of events.

Vitaly Matviychuk, for those who don’t know, is a well-known moneylender in Irkutsk, a beneficiary of the microcredit organizations “GoSootdelenie”. These urgent loans very accurately and clearly reflect the essence of Deputy Matviychuk - masquerading as a reliable and safe government structure (in the name), they increase their profits. That is, they use someone else’s image to achieve commercial goals.

Matviychuk himself was ridiculed long ago because of his posing and imaginary modesty - while confessing his love for the New Lenin grooves, he continued to drive his Infinity. Lately, there are no more photos from the bus on his social networks, apparently, someone smarter suggested that it was too stupid to shoot like that. Especially considering his attraction to communism.

So what unites two deputies - Olga Nosenko and Vitaly Matviychuk - and the ideas of communism? Equality of all before all? There is no trace of this.

Justice? Tell about it to a worker after a 12-hour shift, a doctor after duty, or a teacher with a stack of notebooks for checking, who are watching him in the car from the window of Matviychuk’s “favorite little place.” Perhaps socialism unites? If we take his principle “from each according to his ability, to each according to his work,” then it is difficult to even say what serves as the most striking anti-example. At the same time, Nosenko does not even hide her love for expensive brands; her social networks are replete with photographs (most likely, of course, only a small part is there). But Comrade Matviychuk acts smarter - his photos on social networks are modest, even ascetic. But this does not change the above.

It turns out that none of these people have anything to do with communism. And if Matviychuk has an excuse, because he is officially non-party, then Olga Nosenko has many more questions. Maybe it’s time for the party to say: “We must!”? So that Nosenko would already answer “Yes!”
