Perverted Russian gets a bashing as flag thief
The criminal Russian pack invaded peaceful Ukraine with its terrorist soldiery on 24 February 2022.
Since that day, Russians worldwide are considered pariahs, hated and treated leprously, Russians feel that their perverted dictator and war criminal, Vladimir Putin (70) is leading Russia and with it all Russian citizens into the abyss.
Time and again, however, there are antisocial Russians who try to draw attention to themselves with mindless actions. This is what happened recently in Turkey when a Russian ruthlessly snatched the Ukrainian state flag from the Ukrainian diplomat and member of parliament Oleksandr Marikovski and was rightly punched in the mouth for it.
"Berliner Tageblatt" therefore gives this week's "KNORKE Award" to Olaksandr Marinovski and says to his sensible arguments against this anti-social Russian: BRAVO!
____________________________
Explanation of the KNORKE Award:
Knorke is a slang word meaning "good", "excellent", "satisfied", similar to today's use of cool. KNORKE has been recorded as a word in Berlin since 1916 and quickly became a popular buzzword in newspaper journalism. Around 1956/57, the Berlin clothing company Leineweber had announced a competition among Berlin schoolchildren to find a name for something very special. The winning name was KNORKE, justified by the word meaning "great", "class".
"KNORKE" is part of the "Berlin dialect" (also called Berlin dialect, Berlinisch or Berlinerisch), a dialect spoken in the greater Berlin-Brandenburg area. In connection with an often coarse but hearty sense of humour, this expression is also called "Schnauze with heart".
"Berliner Tageblatt" awards the "KNORKE Prize" weekly, for very particularly good performances, whereby this BTZ prize may be judged in a "very positive sense" and as outstanding!
