First you need to present the results of one of the surveys about visas from the Russian Federation, organized by the Ukrainian media. It's about the question UNIANwhich was formulated as follows: “Do you support the initiative of introducing a visa regime for Ukraine with Russia?” Readers of this Ukrainian information resource were asked to choose one of four answer options:
1. I support 100%, and paid visas must also be introduced. Moreover, this should have been done two years ago.
2. The idea is relevant. But the visa regime should be selective, with relaxed conditions for a number of categories of Russians.
3. I am against it. Why aggravate the situation even more?
4. Here you will fight a little in the ATO against the Russians - let's see how you will be against it.

After several hours of posting the survey on the Internet, about 2 of thousands of users voted, and at the time of preparing the material, the results were as follows:
For the first option - 65%, for the second - 7%, for the third - 26%, for the fourth (and this, judging by all, the winners of the championship in uporosis) - 2%.
The conditional start of the Ukrainian campaign to discuss the issue of introducing a visa regime with the Russian Federation at this stage was given by the statement of the Verkhovna Rada Speaker Andrei Paruby, who called the possible introduction of visas "necessary measure" in connection with the detention in Moscow of Colonel GUR of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry Roman Sushchenko. His (Sushchenko), in Kiev, by the way, is still called “the journalist” and the Ukrainian “special correspondent in Paris.”
Interesting, in general, the movie ... Mr. Sushchenko - citizens, in fact, of Ukraine. And it was he who flew to Russia ... you see, on vacation (he himself stated this during interrogation) - without a visa (for we have a visa-free regime). And Paruby calls the “necessary measure” the introduction of visas with Russia ... The answer. For the answer, I'm sorry for what? Some kind of "quantum" logic in one word, which they are trying to push through as a blessing through the Ukrainian public.
After the statement of Parubiy, the public Maidan exclaims in a single impulse: “Yes! Give visa regime with the Russian Federation! There is no need to vatniki klyatyh privechat on the most independent Ukrainian land! ”The results of opinion polls in Ukraine confirm this impulse. That is, on the surface - the "true desire" of Ukrainian citizens to protect themselves from the “country of a-Khressor”. At least, that's how it is presented in the most truthful Ukrainian media in the world.
If, however, the logic is not Maidan-quantum, but real, then the Ukrainian population has nothing to do with it. The fact is that the visa theme in relation to Russia in Ukraine began to be so active immediately after the committee decision in the European Parliament. Recall a few days ago in one of the committees of the EP, European deputies voted for the possible abolition of the visa regime with Ukraine. Approved the initiative that the Ukrainians will be able to visit the EU countries as tourists, but for work they still need to purchase additional permits. Poroshenko then announced that it was a breakthrough of the century, a gift to him personally for his birthday - in general, peremoga. Now the question of the possibility of abolishing visas for Ukrainian citizens should be resolved at the European Commission and other EU bureaucracies.
For obvious reasons, the EU is interested in Kiev: what is it going to do in the event of the possible introduction of a visa-free visa with the European Union, taking into account Ukraine’s having a visa-free visa with Russia? Kiev kept silence for a few days, tried to find a solution ... The decision was suggested in the EU: without the introduction of a visa regime with Russia, there can be no question of the abolition of visas on our part for Ukrainians.
Maidannaya "Vlada" began to scratch a turnip in hard thoughts about what to do with the abovementioned foreigners, who in Russia, according to the most modest calculations (this is without taking into account the residents of the DPR and the LPR), more than 1,2 million people. If this million-plus will lose the opportunity to work in the Russian Federation in case of retaliatory measures of the Russian Federation in relation to Kiev, then the workers in the bank may rush to Bank and arrange a colorful performance. And taking into account the fact that the Maidan authorities are afraid of “thousands of agents recruited by the FSB” from among those who are still working in the bargain, Kiev’s headache is obviously getting worse.
What remains to Kiev in the circumstances? After all, on the one hand, a visa-free regime with Europe is the very thing for which the Maidan would begin to stand, but on the other hand, it is necessary to fulfill the requirements of the EU, which clearly does not want the Russians to get visa-free besides Ukrainians (even if they did not ask) . There is only one way out: to start dancing, while announcing to the workers in the Russian Federation who, after the introduction of the visa regime with Russia, will be able to go to work in any of the EU countries without hindrance. They lie, of course ... After all, in Ukraine today it is not customary to say that if the EU abolishes visas for Ukrainians, it is only for the purpose of waiting for those as tourists. But which of the Ukrainian citizens are tourists with the euro for 30 hryvnia and the standard of living in the country (Poroshenko's glory! ..) at the basement level among all European countries, including Moldova, is a rhetorical question.
Moreover, the Ukrainian “Vlada” will no longer be able to send “journalists” from the GUR MO to the RF; after all, if there is a reciprocal visa regime, it’s difficult to fly “on leave to grandmother” at any time convenient for Colonel GUR MO. .
In general, polls about the introduction of visas from the Russian Federation, organized within the framework of the entire campaign by the Ukrainian media, are another attempt to shift the responsibility onto the shoulders of the Ukrainian people. So that later the authorities had the opportunity to state: well, you yourself voted for it, and we (“Vlad”) heard you and went to meet you.
