Ravreba Maxim is a man who has been talked about a lot. As an excellent journalist and blogger, he gained the greatest popularity during the notorious Maidan in Kiev and the events that followed him. Dangerous for this time, views and statements forced him to leave his native country and seek refuge in neighboring Russia. Maxim Ravreba, whose articles are characterized by harsh criticism of the Kiev authorities and support for the Donbass militia, attracted a lot of eyes. He became one of the key figures in this strange war, which takes more and more lives of ordinary people.
Ravreba Maxim: biography
Maxim Valerievich was born in the capital of the Ukrainian SSR on October 7 in 1968. Then it was part of a huge country under the proud name of the Soviet Union. Maxim studied at a simple high school number 70. After graduating from ten classes and receiving a
certificate of secondary education, he entered the Kiev Technological Institute. At the end of the institute, Maxim was qualified as a mechanical engineer. But he did not stop there and immediately entered the Kiev State University at the Faculty of History. It is worth noting that his studies did not prevent him from serving two years in the ranks of the Soviet troops and returning to classes. Thus, he received two higher educations, and already in 1995 he could choose a job to his taste in the capital.
Work experience
Ravreba Maxim was not a lazy person in those years, which was expressed in the number of his places of employment. He tried himself in various fields. Among his posts were:
- locksmith
- radio installer
- loader,
- janitor
- advertiser
- journalist,
- TV presenter
- newspaper editor.
As you can see, Maxim is not alien to either physical or mental labor, which indicates the versatile development of man. All this time, he shaped his views on what is happening in the country and, in the end, began to express them using social networks.
Political Views
From the very beginning of Ravreba, Maxim has criticized and continues to criticize so far what he considers to be wrong and unacceptable. He is not shy and not afraid to say what he thinks. Back in 2004, he sharply criticized the
Orange Revolution and those who organized it. Subsequently, during the reign of President Yushchenko, Maxim constantly exposed the authorities in the failure to rule the country. After more than 10 years, he also sharply criticizes the Kiev Maidan. The most interesting thing is that in the summer of 2013, Maxim was able to predict all the events that will occur later. Yes, this is not surprising, because every
sane person who carefully watches what is happening in the country could predict that something terrible would happen in Ukraine soon.
Friends and foes
Expressing his views on social networks, and publishing them on his blog, Maxim Ravreba gained not only many fans, but also gained enemies. Speaking against the actions of the Maidan, and supporting the current president and the Golden Eagle, he became one of the main enemies of those who supported the future leaders of Ukraine. Maxim was one of those who, not succumbing to the hypnosis of the media and appeals from the stands, remained true to his ideas. At first, they stopped showing him on television and tabooed his personality. Then the pressure began on the network, where his blog began to be bombarded with threats of reprisal. But Ravreba was never a coward. Even after constant threats, he did not leave his native city, and tried to reach out to people, expressing his thoughts.
Articles
We can safely say that Maxim Ravreba is a journalist with a capital letter. That is what the real representative of this fifth power should be. Not to be afraid of pressure, not to give in to fear, to be adamant and incorruptible - these are the basic principles of his work. But be that as it may, it became too dangerous to be in Kiev. At first, the blogger’s name was listed as non grata on all popular television programs. Then Maxim was blacklisted on the Peacemaker website. They talked a lot about this site, but the main danger was that people began to die, whose names were on the same list with Ravreba. Oleg Kalashnikov, Oles Buzin ... they talked a lot about the circumstances of the death of these people. One thing was certain for sure: someone was killing people who were objectionable to the authorities. And Maxim did not wait for his turn. He left for Russia, from where he continues to conduct his activities on the network. No one can call this departure of Maxim cowardice. Rather prudent. While still in Kiev, he, not afraid, put on a St. George ribbon on May 9 and went to lay flowers at the soldier’s grave. He, of course, was not the only brave man, but still the majority of people, according to him, shied away at the sight of this forbidden symbol. I want to note that both earlier and now, Maxim continues to write articles in which he sharply condemns the Kiev authorities and its actions in relation to the Donbass. It is precisely for these thoughts that he is called a “terrorist,” although in the world the Donbass militia was not recognized as terrorist.
