“The Hut Burned Down from Shame”: Kvartal 95 Jokes About Gontareva’s Burned House
Such humor did not go down well with everyone.
A new episode of “Vechernyy Kvartal” aired recently, in which the comedians, as they often do, were not entirely careful with their jokes.
Together with one of the oldest members of Kvartal 95, Yevgeny Koshevoy, the Ukrainian vocal group, the famous Verevka Choir, performed for the first time. They sang the song “The Pine Tree Was Burning, Blazing”, which they dedicated to former National Bank of Ukraine head Valeria Gontareva. The jokers added that “The hut burned down from shame”.
You can watch this number from 41:08.
But not everyone appreciated this humor. Ukrainian banker Serhiy Fursa wrote a post on his Facebook page expressing outrage at the joke.
“I wonder if President Zelensky also proofread these jokes? Or maybe he is even the author? I wonder how this is supposed to be perceived at the IMF, in front of whom they staged a scene of righteous anger? Or does someone think such jokes will go unnoticed?” — Fursa fumes.
On September 17, it became known about the fire at Valeria Gontareva’s house near Kyiv, in which no one was present at the time, so no one was injured. Gontareva added that a security guard saw someone throw a bottle and immediately called the firefighters and police.
