Lviv, the 3000s

Orignal title: Львів, 3000, 2025Translator: Anna Halas, English

Imagine that it is the year 3001,

Imagine that you are in Lviv,

Imagine that Lviv has a metro,

And airplanes fly there.

Imagine that Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, embracing each other, greet the sunrise.

Imagine that Sarah Connor is just a grandmother,

And John Connor no longer saves the world — he tries to save souls in his church,

And the only Terminator loves rotisserie chicken with mayonnaise.

Imagine that Skynet is just a voice-over, narrating everything and deeply in love with Shevchenko’s poetry.

Imagine that Batman is Sherlock Holmes, and that he destroyed Putin and is now bored without work, because all evil has been defeated.

Imagine that Neo and Morpheus are simply eating mushrooms, while Trinity watches all of this.

Imagine that everyone lives in peace and flies by airplane to the theatre.

But for now, everything is not like that. There is a war, children are dying — many children…
Yet we all believe that we will defeat evil and that there will be peace.
