So what did Baba Paraska scream at Ukraine's first president Leonid Kravchuk and why all papers seem to not want to print it? Did she really curse him and called him zhid? If yes, then she's no longer "a heartbreaking silly old fool" - but a silly, stinking old bitch. Not that I admire Kravchuk, of course.

I caught Baba Paraska on camera again last week, by the way - at Maidan. Had no idea it was her until Mishah told me:

    I don't know quite what to make of Baba Paraska, other than the fact that it seems obvious that she likes being the centre of attention. It's sad, really.

    Sorry, I'm a little confused. Isn't "zhid" a derogatory word for "jew"? Why would she call Kravchuk that? Or is that just in Russian?

    I'm not saying Paraska is one of them, but there is a category of people who believe that any unsavoury public figure must be Jewish. If she _did_ call Kravchuk "zhid" (which is exactly what you think it is,) I'm afraid she's not only a confused old woman, but an anti-Semite, as well.

    well, i think you should not forget that she is from an entirely different generation and that not all rusians and ukrainains were happy with the jews, perhaps a little indoctrination left from communism..same thing as people are developping here against marrocans (antwerp,Belgium) and are keen to generalize
