A nation is as simple as a child, and it is not difficult to deceive it, as they are constantly being proved by various kinds of pickers. Euro-repair and Ukraine's euro-welfare seemed close and quite real, it was only necessary to make a European choice, and abandon the Russian name. To become Europeans. Such a demand was made by Europe, and supported those politicians who spoke from the standpoint: Ukraine is not only not Russia, but Anti-Russia. In general, the biblical история about a lentil soup for a “useless” birthright.
Former Ukrainian political analyst Vladimir Kornilov tells how, theoretically, homegrown wise men on television channels argued this long before Euromaid: Ukraine had been under Russia for three hundred years, why not lie down under Europe now? The benefits are obvious, Europe is richer than Russia! It was meant: and we will break off from the European bounty ...
A part of the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine also bought into this lie. I have relatives in the Donbass, I have heard these arguments from them more than once, even at the beginning of 2014. The simple argument that free cheese is only in a mousetrap was rejected: Europe is civilized, it will not deceive ...
The desire to change the orientation of the European was deliberate and penetrated, as they say, into the masses. The Ukrainian elites consolidated themselves under the West, and were consistent: to sell, without looking, they did not even read the treatise on Euro-association.
President Yanukovych was also in favor of the Euro-Association, but he wanted to bargain with Europe, sell at a high price, and didn’t want to vomit with Russia until the end, thinking how clever the calf was to suck from two queens. And he got Euromaidan, miraculously escaped from violence: President Putin pulled out at the last moment. Others who thought of not trusting Europe were put on their knees and punished for edification. Europe joyfully welcomed such expressions of love and human rights.
The insight came later, when Europe fully supported the coup d'état of the Nazi Bandera armed formations, and the outright Nazis in the Maidan government like Paruby, Tyagnybok, Avakov and others, when it did not see the massacre on Euromaidan, near Korsunya, in Mariupol, in Odessa, but it was too late. Only the Crimea and a part of the Donbass, with the support of Russia, managed to save from the Bandera pogroms. Here is the price of a European lentil soup that all Ukraine eats today.
The Minsk agreements gave a chance to the established regime of the Maidan to think again, to stop the repressions in the South-East of the country, one might say, they had the goal of restoring Ukraine to Yanukovych without Yanukovych. Without the illusions of his time, and without the Nazis. However, this chance is missed, Putin said this in Sochi this spring at a meeting with Chancellor Merkel.
Today, Bandera really build their nationalist state, they completely abandoned the succession of Soviet Ukraine, and in the declarations and in the real policy of de-communization, de-Sovietization and anti-Russianness. Thus, they confirm their coup and lose their “birthright”: the rights to all acquisitions of Soviet Ukraine — they have nothing to do with them. Bandera have no rights not only to the Crimea and the Donbass, but also to the whole of New Russia. These are the lands of the former Soviet Ukraine, the Bandera Ukraine occupied them by deception, thanks to the support and European Euro-demagogy, for which it will still answer Russia.
The European orientation of Ukraine brought the first fruits. The sociologist Kopatko, relying on statistical data, reports: Ukraine’s de-industrialization has already taken place, there is a high level of anxiety in society, the situation is generally unstable. Accidental force majeure can bring everything down, and yet in the hands of the population there are millions of unaccounted trunks weapons. The gulf with Russia is getting deeper.
As a result of such a Euro-association, the former consensus of the Ukrainian elites began to collapse: their blood business is already declining or taken away, destroyed. Billionaire Dmitry Firtash predicts even the anti-European turn of Ukraine. It is noteworthy that Austria did not extradite Firtash, where he is currently hiding, the United States, accusing him, like all of his enemies, of corruption.
The deception of the Euro-association is becoming more and more obvious; you cannot hide it, no matter how the Maidan regime tightens the screws of its repressions. Autumn in Ukraine is unlikely to be quiet: observers, from Vadim Karasev to Rostislav Ishchenko, say it will be so quiet, as much as a guard!
In any case, Bandera Ukraine awaits a sad fate. For Europe and the USA, it is an expendable material, for Russia it is a traitor to the all-Russian business.
