How a Polish drunk driver helped to make one Russian’s wish true
[picture 1] – a note left by some Russian on my car’s window It’s a frosty morning, early days of December 2022. A Russian person walks the quiet street in one of Helsinki’s industrial estates. An unusual car draws their attention – this model was never sold in Finland. While most of the car is covered with snow, a sticker on the rear window, a countour of Ukraine in blue-yellow colours draws their attention. On closer inspection, the car also bears a sticker with a large letter UK. Surely, it has to be Ukrainian! The Russian comes closer. They try to peel the Ukrainian sticker off. As they started from Crimea, the sticker breaks at the narrowest point. They got angry, they try to break off the wing mirrors. But it turned to be impossible too – turns out in this model mirrors can fold in both directions. They spit at the windscreen in anger, then write in big letters НА ХУЙ! (~go to fuck) on the driver’s window. They still can’t get enough satisfaction. Digging through their pockets, they manage to find a peace of paper and a pen. A pen does not work well in freezing condition, but they eventually get it going.
