It ain't easy being green

>>15918351

Zelyonka is a triarylmethane antiseptic dye that is widely used medically in Russia and Ukraine. The dye, often used as a milder alternative to iodine, is available in Russian pharmacies and drug stores. The dye is very hard to wash off and can leave a stain for days afterwards, and requires an acid to fully remove. However, unless zelyonka is mixed with other substances (e.g. as with the second attack on Alexei Navalny), it leaves no long-term damage, and thus victims have little legal recourse.

Zelyonka is a common antiseptic used to treat everything from chickenpox to (apparently) having a nail stuck in your head (not recommended). It first gained popularity in the Soviet Union during the twentieth century because it was a practical and low-cost solution that was accessible to the generally impoverished population at the time. The dilute alcohol substance is effective against Gram-positive bacteria and has an advantage vs. common antiseptics, such as iodine, in that it does not irritate mucous membranes as harshly on accidental contact. Today, Russians will swear that it cures anything and everything.

In fact, more commonly in other parts of the world, an undiluted form of the chemical compound is used as a dye for silk or wool (hence the name “brilliant green dye”). More recently, political protesters or assailants in Eastern Europe have taken advantage of this quality of zelyonka and have used it to mark their enemies. Generally, the bright green bath which leaves your target looking a bit like Shrek is just a rather funny and harmless form of assault, but if the substance enters the eyes it can be extremely painful and harmful. Most notably, in 2017, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was doused with the chemical and suffered damage to his cornea as a result.

Indeed, it isn’t easy being green. But at this point, people began to use the color and the event as a symbol of the movement, spreading the hashtag #greennavalny and putting non-hazardous green facepaint on themselves at protests in solidarity. So the cultural relevance of zelyonka continues to live on, and isn't likely to go anywhere soon.

>lack of live reports from Moscow

Perhaps the reason for the lack of 'live' reports is that the fake news CNN BBC et al all did a runner from Moscow when Putin brought in laws that allows the fake news to be prosecuted for spreading lies.

Russian Parliament Chair Calls for Joe Biden’s Impeachment over Illegal Funding of Azov Battalion

 

Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the State Duma (Russian Parliament) has called on the US Congress to impeach Joe Biden:

“The US Congress must end the double standards and hold Joe Biden responsible”, Volodin wrote on his official Telegram channel. “There’s no way around it if the United States wants to obey the rule of law.”

According to Volodin, in 2017, the US Congress passed a bill prohibiting supplying the Ukrainian Azov battalion with American arms, since Azov was designated a neo-Nazi organization. Azov uses the same emblem as Adolf Hitler’s Second SS Panzer Division Das Reich.

“White supremacy and neo-Nazism are unacceptable and have no place in our world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), said in 2018, according to The Hill. “I am very pleased that the recently passed omnibus (bill) prevents the U.S. from providing arms and training assistance to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion fighting in Ukraine.”
