Extra! ! NikopolToday publishes a recent mid-quarantine story in Britain. The author of the work has edited works such as books To Mars, the collection Samukomori and Tears Of Rain and several others from Rayan Riener.*Author’s note: events in this fictional account are intended to bear no resemblance to any real event or circumstance, past or present.* ‘Enter’. There. He had pressed the button on the computer. He had said his piece, and sent it to the Web, the Internet, the wide world. He sat back and sighed. He looked at his watch. So many people were filling the pages of Twitter, Facebook, the blogosphere, the chatrooms, the online news pages. There were so many accounts, so many authentically heart-breaking pictures, videos, stories, news reports. Streets were deserted.  Bars, theatres, restaurants - empty. Hospitals were full.  Intensive care was overrun.  People were unable to get medicine, food or urgent supplies.  The disease was everywhere. People were being removed, inert, from their homes, hidden by isolation tents. Families had been torn apart and were grieving. Children for parents, parents for children. Stock markets were in free-fall, economies grinding to a halt. Life as people knew it was coming to an end in the Western world. Lockdowns, curfews, rationed goods.   It was all there on the TV, in the press. Troops on the streets… wait, troops on the streets? This was a civilian crisis, not a war… Civilians were fearful for their lives, yes, but not from violent neighbours, surely? It was the invisible enemy they must fear. The enemy that would seize them, debilitate them, kill them and their loved ones, if they did not cease their normal lives, their jobs, their friendships, their love. If they did not lock themselves indoors and obey the government.  Without question.  ‘Do not engage in social contact.  Do not gather in solidarity. Stay isolated…’ Yet… There had been other calamities, disasters, pestilence, floods, fires… He remembered when after the storm his street had been under water for a week.  His neighbours helped each other, gave those affected food and clothing, or a floor to sleep on.  The familiarity brought a kind of comfort, a sense of a peril shared. When it was all over, they celebrated in a local bar.  That was a good evening. Some time later a stomach bug raged through the town. He knew many people, friends, neighbours and relatives, who had got very sick. The bar owner died. But this… this… He himself knew no-one who was sick from it.  No friend, colleague or acquaintance, nor anyone they knew of.   No-one said in passing – ‘Shame about old Mrs So-and-so…’  No-one personally knew anyone ill, dying, dead.  But everyone was afraid of catching it. If it was a phoney war then – some might say ‘fake’ – someone must be waging it… Who could that be? It was a question that someone should ask. And that was the question in his piece. Which he had just sent out to the world. He hoped someone would read it. And give him an answer.  He had an idea what the answer was, hoped he was wrong. There was a knock on the door. He looked at his watch and sighed again. Barely 10 minutes. Slowly, he went to the door and opened it. Outside, there were six men in might have been hazmat gear, or maybe riot gear, with batons, helmets, armoured gloves and heavy masks. Blue lights flashed in the street. There was a waiting stretcher trolley with thick restraints and an opaque isolation cover. ‘Yes?’ ‘Excuse me sir, we have had a report of dangerous contamination at this address… Do you mind if we enter…’   © Charles A.

The Business Suit   *Author’s note: characters and events in this fictional account are intended to bear no resemblance whatsoever to any real person, event or circumstance, past or present.*   The last cheers died away. He waved at no-one in particular and turned to go back inside. Another of the public shows over with. ‘Cheering for Heroes’ was one way of diverting the public’s attention from the real project. It was permitted to cheer them. The ‘heroes’ would be given lavish praise and grateful thanks. Meanwhile, they would be starved of resources and sent to do their job with little or no protection. They would persist in their duty even as they suffered and died.  It was enough to continually express helpless regret, lie about the availability of equipment or its imminent arrival, distort the figures. Testing could help – could have helped – keep the numbers of sick and dead lower.  They had dealt with that rather masterfully. In contrast to other countries, here they had delayed and then stopped, claiming testing was not useful.  They had made it impossible.   Bought tests which ‘didn’t work’ and so had to be thrown away, or sold on for gain.  They had not tested the more elderly and frail sick ones, but simply put them with other vulnerable people so as to infect them. People thought these failures incompetence, but it was all part of the plan. The more of the old and sick, of those dependent on the state, of the poor, infirm and so on, that died, the less the state would be burdened going forward. It was simple – if you were unproductive, you were expendable.  It would mean more for those positioned to profit from the mess. He waved again from the doorstep and adjusted the cuff of a lumpy, ill-fitting, off-the-peg suit. He did not enjoy wearing this. ‘Man of the people’ it was intended to say. But it was not like clothing from a proper tailor.  He had shown his closest advisers the suit he wanted to wear. ‘Not the right time,’ they had said. At least he would be able to wear it when out of the public eye. Until the time was indeed right. The public.  They had fed them impossible promises, cleverly appealed to their deepest prejudices, so that this duped ‘electorate’ voted them in by an unassailable margin.  ‘Turkeys voting for Christmas’ some said. That was putting it mildly, but the sustained assault on the public education system over the years had yielded a populace unable to exercise any critical judgement.  Anyway, that ‘vote’ would be the last for a long while. What these people really needed, and deep down, wanted, was a return to the ‘good old days’. Hard work – a hard life - and no need to think.   They deserved everything they got. They had allowed themselves to be ruled by degenerates and weaklings, with their ridiculous notions of human rights, equality, fairness, tolerance of minorities, votes that counted for something, truthful politicians.  He scoffed at the litany. Free education and healthcare for all.  Support for the sick, the disadvantaged, the disabled.  Proper, sanitary, housing.  Healthy food.  Even leisure time.  These must all go - fortunately there were many in the country who agreed. Or, at least, who had voted that way. At last, it seemed, the great masses would get their revenge on the lefties, liberals and do-gooders.  They themselves might starve and die anyway, but it would be worth it. Plentiful food and medicine -  supplies of these would become a distant memory.  And the new ‘elite’ – well they had been ‘chosen’ – would profit handsomely from the disorder and despair. Only those who could pay would be able to eat, or treat their illnesses.  Everyone else could eat junk, chew aspirins and die of 20th century diseases. He continued indoors, waving away the irritating flunkies requiring urgent decisions and action in order to heal people and save lives. ‘Not this day,’ he thought to himself as a trademark smirk passed his lips. He retired to the privacy of his dressing-room. His despised bourgeois costume was discarded. He unlocked and opened a private closet door. His ‘business’ suit awaited him.  It was a beauty, tailored after a classic design worn by a great leader of recent history, his wartime hero. It fit him perfectly, and showed he meant business. The sort of tailoring art that had produced these garments had almost died out. Men with such skills had been born in another country and had flourished there, until it had become obvious their future there was limited, at least in the short term. These craftsmen had fled and settled here, keeping the tradition alive – though even some here disdained their presence. He slowly donned the sharply cut garments, the jacket and trousers, with highly polished footwear. Reverently, he put on a black-coloured armband to show how much respect he had for the dead, and those yet to die. The sharp creases of the black trousers and immaculate lines of the tan double-breasted jacket with its rows of silver buttons all reflected back at him proudly from the mirror. As did the discreet black medal on the left breast, and the unmistakeable crooked symbol on the armband. Perhaps he would not be leader for ever. But the party coming into being today would continue to sweep away the creaking old ‘democratic’ order, ensuring one of the faithful would always inherit the seat of power. He came to attention and clicked together the heels of the shiny jackboots. He shot his arm forward and then back in a perfect salute, acknowledging the cheers, now for him alone, coming from the imaginary millions ready to be whipped forward to serve the new order of immense power, profit, and world-beating, ruthless, dominance.   © Anon 2020

At this time, a country rich in history and culture will celebrate its new Independence Day. Foreigners do not know about many facts of Ukraine, so NikopolToday shares an excellent video about this in English from Project Ukraїner.First of all, let us remind all of you that Ukraine is not Russia.

Residents of city Marganets are in despair and sounding the alarm. They are writing an open letter to the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration Valentin Reznichenko and to all authorized officials who are able to help. The city, which has been repeatedly shelled, still has not acquired the status of a zone of active hostilities. Locals published an open letter on Facebook.Manganets is still not included in the list of communities where active hostilities are taking place. The city management does not want to deal with this issue, locals write. They repeatedly appealed to the authorities with such a request, but all in vain:"There are people whose homes have been destroyed and they cannot stay there. These people are trying to raise any funds for living in their own city on their own."The city leadership has never taken the initiative to evacuate vulnerable population groups, there is no interaction at the "government-community-citizen" level. Reactions to events occur after the fact.Help is being provided to the victims, but people need more protection of life, not covering windows, and for this it is necessary to organize an evacuation while the threat of shelling remains, the locals write in the appeal.There are many elderly people in Marganets, there are families with many children who simply hide in basements at night, because there is no shelter in the city. These people do not have enough funds to leave the city. So people write the following in their appeal to Reznichenko:"We are turning to you, dear Valentin Mykhailovych, with a request:1. Contribute to granting the Marganets community the status of a zone of active hostilities.2. To help organize evacuation transport for low-income people.3. To provide them with places of temporary stay with the provision of everything necessary (this experience is already gained by volunteers).4. To pay attention to supporting the work of the communal and social infrastructure of the city for residents staying in Marganka and to do it in the shortest possible time.5. Create a "hotline" where people could contact with such requests, directly in the regional administration.6. Allocate sufficient funds for assistance and payments to people who have been left without housing.7. Provide assistance in providing medicines and first aid to the city hospital (by the way, it was also affected).Since the beginning of the shelling of our bank of the Dnipro, there have been 5 shellings on the territory of the Marganets community (outside the city) in a month without significant damage. The city of Marganets itself was shelled 6 times (at night on 27.07, 1.08, 7.08, 10.08, 12.08, 14.08): 12 people died, 16 were injured with various degrees of injury.High-rise buildings, private houses, a city hospital, a kindergarten, a school, an art school, the Miners' Palace of Culture, the administrative buildings of JSC MGZK, the building of the city water supply company, the city council, the National Medical Center, a shop, a cafe, several gas pipelines and electricity networks were damaged.We hope that you will consider our appeal and that the necessary assistance will be provided. Currently, what is happening helps us all to be in unity and to show what is primary for everyone - humanity." The full text of the appeal is here.From Informator

Russia is deliberately shelling the corridors through which the IAEA mission is supposed to reach the nuclear power plant. The occupiers are trying to force the mission to reach the nuclear power plant through Crimea/ORDLO. Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, wrote about this on his Twitter page.However, Ukraine's position remains unchanged.

September 1 was a black day for a resident of Energodar and her husband. The woman frankly wrote about the horrors in the city, which the occupiers staged. This is the real cry of the soul of a Ukrainian woman. Her name has been withheld for security. Because the woman lives and works in an occupied city. The woman sent her confession to the mayor of Energodar, Dmytro Orlov. Without edits and changes, in the original language, the publication appeared in his Telegram channel."We are alive. Yesterday was hell. Today is silence. Even at night. The last shooting was around 10 p.m. We still have to count and mourn all the dead, stretch the film and insert plywood over all the broken windows, wave goodbye to everyone who left yesterday and will leave in the coming days... We hope that yesterday's horror will not be repeated.They fired from 5 in the morning with different guns, from different locations. Plus a thunderstorm over the city. At first, they beat the station, industrial zone, garages and estates.There is no more forest. He was burned from all sides. At 6 o'clock, the thunderstorm stopped and began to hit the city. A man is on the phone with his employees. Everyone writes who sees and hears what and how they understand it. They were going to work, but the man stopped them until the circumstances were clarified.At 10 o'clock it quieted down a bit and some people ran here and there. Who is out with the dogs, who is on business (although what could be the business in this hell?!).The first official reports about the destruction and the dead have arrived. Then it started again. Helicopters were flying over the city and shooting. Around two o'clock in the afternoon, tanks entered the city. We didn't see them ourselves, but they drove along Kurchatova Street to the water intake and hid somewhere there.Then the commission arrived, and the show went silent. We ate and went back to the corridor - pulled out the cabinet with canning so that we could sleep there together. It turned out that there is so much preservation! Not expected.The whole evening they lay on the bed with mobile phones - the children were calling incessantly, the news. Such "trifles" as stopping unit 5, de-energizing unit 2 and reducing the load on unit 6 were no longer frightening. The water disappeared for a short time. Then she appeared. The night was quiet. Quite quiet.The man went to work. I'm home. Cats walk in a harness so they can be attached to a leash. All. I don't complain and I don't expect anyone to feel sorry for us. There is a war going on and people are dying every day and every hour. Every minute someone's house is being destroyed, cars are burning, for which people have collected money for years.Already 191 days. Peaceful days, they are so alike. They are so similar to each other: work, housework, an evening in the family circle... It is not remembered, it merges into weeks, months, years of a peaceful life. Something pleases, something saddens, most of it goes unnoticed. And here is the war. And that's all. And it will never be the same again! And there comes a belated understanding of how wonderful we lived, even when it was boring and it seemed that everything was not going exactly as we would like. Now everything is wrong! And you understand that before it was very good! But this is gone. And every day is scary.I know that the people of Mariupol lived in hell for months, Kharkiv was under fire for six months. Many cities and villages... they simply do not exist. Next to that, our hell yesterday is just a terrible episode.But. There is one small but. All this, all this cross-firing from everything and all of it went on without an enemy, without any resistance from the population - just a fire show to intimidate the IAEA commission and for a video clip in the racist media.There was no subversive group, no drones, no guerrillas, and not even a single group of residents who wanted to "open" the eyes of the same commission. Our city has been under them for six months. And, knowing that it is lying on a giant bomb, it will not move. I see a special horror and inhumanity in this! Now that's for sure."It should be noted that Nikopol was the first day without Russian shelling, due to the arrival of the MEGAT commission at the nuclear power plant seized by Russian terrorists.
