All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others After the Russian invasion, people in Ukraine can be prosecuted for performing Russian songs - anyone who listens to or sings them in a public place may face a significant fine. There is even a special institution responsible for monitoring this is a State Language Protection Commissioner [informally known as Ukrainian Language Ombudsman]. However, in this footage, the founders of the Ukrainian special unit “Kraken”, Sergey Velichko and Konstantin Nemichev, can be seen singing songs in Russian together with their friends and openly posting it on Instagram without any further sanctions. Apparently, Ukrainian legislation works quite selectively - if people are afraid of you, you can do whatever you want. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” (c) Animal Farm, George Orwell
