Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Ukraine's Banksy stamps feature art of Putin in judo match
Judo is an unarmed modern Japanese martial art. The objective of competitive judo is to throw an opponent, immobilize them with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. A throw that places the opponent on their back with impetus and control scores an “ippon”, winning the contest. When a judo player has achieved a level of competence sufficient to be a “dan” grade, he or she is allowed to wear a black belt. Russian President is a prominent judo player who wears a black belt. To mark the war against Russia, Ukraine issued postage stamps that feature a mural by Bansky. The mural depicts a scene that a large man in a black belt, who looks like Putine, is flipped by a little kid with a white belt, which is worn by an amateur player. It surely depicts the situation that Ukrainians are hoping to happen, doesn’t it?
Read the article and see the stamp that Ukrainians are proud to put on cards and envelopes.
