"I think that people who perceive our humor as a blow in their direction must have an Iron Curtain in their brains higher than the one from the Soviet Union!"
Metaphor in Context
Now, with regards to our position: I don't put the business first. I believe that first and foremost we are citizens of Ukraine, and we should take care of our country. I think smart people in any post-Soviet country can understand this desire.
Furthermore, the problem of losing fans is mutual—[Ukrainians can stop watching Russian-made shows too]. [It's important to note that humor is not a personal insult]—I think that people who perceive our humor as a blow in their direction must have an Iron Curtain in their brains higher than the one from the Soviet Union!
