Dik Fagazine #5

TRAHNUTY GOLUBYCH!

In the search for inspiration we embark on a long journey. We spend day and night on the train with locked windows. There is a beer and vodka in the compartments. Loud Ukrainian anthems ooze from the intercom in the morning. Kyiv. Finally. Nothing here is what it seems to be. A lesbian bar turns out to be an entrance to the gag's sauna. The 'Pepperoni' pizzeria is the local spot for LGBT meetings. They display movies and give away condoms here as their statutory activity. A lovely eating place has a real stand-up shit hole instead of a toilet. The 'R.E.P' group are fags because they exhibit contemporary art. Designer of a little 'devices' reads Heidegger and fucks dwarfs, while the only homo-artist does not know any gays and has never been to a gay club. The faggy meeting is a fountain in the heart of underground shopping centre, while the only dancing club - 'Androgyn' - is situated in a social realist edifice. Few people understand English, so we speak Polish and they respond in Ukrainian. It is a French version of Ukraine in a Polish Fagazine. Trahnuty Golubych!
