Does Ukraine Need Russia: Reflections on Intra-Ukrainian Stratification

145

Personnel changes in the Kremlin, in particular, the appointment of Dmitry Kozak to the post of deputy head of the presidential administration of Russia, implying that he will henceforth play the first violin in matters of resolving the situation in the Donbass, has already generated a lot of versions and even speculation. Like, remembering what options this politician offered to resolve the crisis in Transnistria, one should expect from him "efforts to federalize Ukraine" using the DPR and LPR as a "Trojan horse to strengthen Russia's influence." It is said strongly. But how similar do these versions correspond to the intentions and interests regarding the “non-fallow” not even of a specific Mr. Kozak, but of the Russian Federation as a whole?

It should be noted that the “reflections” quoted above are posted on the official website of the European Council on Foreign Affairs and belong to one of its employees, Gustav Gressel. Of course, it is more visible from Europe ... In fact, even if we assume that Moscow has some far-reaching plans to return Ukraine to its zone of influence, it should be recognized that there is a very big problem with this. Its roots do not lie in the East “unbroken”, but precisely in its West, and there is no way to solve the issue here by any “federalization”, “decentralization” and similar methods.



As a matter of fact, people who are sober-minded and not afraid to call a spade a spade have long since expressed their thoughts that a bizarre conglomerate created by the USSR authorities from 1917 to 1991 and subsequently received the status of the “state of Ukraine” cannot be considered close to homogeneous. There were territories in it that either a madman or a completely unscrupulous liar could call Ukrainian: it is, of course, about the Crimea and the lands that Kiev is eager to “reintegrate” today, uprooting “Russianness” there with fire and sword. There are regions which, some with greater foundations, others with less, can be called Ukraine itself. Once upon a time no one would have thought of attributing, for example, Kharkov or Odessa, but here you go - Maidan ideology managed to gain a foothold even there.

And finally, there is that part of the country which, being for centuries the most backward in industrial, infrastructural, economic terms, today is, as it were, a standard, a model of "Ukrainianness", imposing on all other compatriots their own view of the world and their "values", cultural , historical and primarily political. Already here the intra-Ukrainian stratification can be traced. And do not object - the election of the president of the native of Krivoy Rog Zelensky this thesis is not something that does not refute, but confirms exactly 100%. Listen to his words, look at his affairs - and you will understand that I am right. Russophobia, anti-Soviet, kholuy worship of the West, exaltation of the Nazi henchmen and raising to the rank of "national heroes" of persons worthy of perhaps only a polyphonic and eternal damnation - all this originates from there.

This is primarily about Galicia (Lviv region), which stands out even against the background of its neighbors with extreme conceit, reaching the messianic complex, absolute intolerance and utter assertiveness in achieving one's own goals and objectives. Believe it or not, but with the so-called zapadentsev relations are far from ideal, even among neighbors from other Ukrainian regions. Nevertheless, it was precisely this tiny piece of the country, which did not have a common history or a common faith with it, in 1991 proclaimed itself a measure, the ideal of “all Ukrainian”. She declared all the rest either “Muscovites” or “sellers” of such and began to impose a “standard model” on the people, exceeding the population of this “Ukrainian Piedmont”, as they call themselves, tens and hundreds of times.

In time, this muddy "fountain" was not shut up. It could not be otherwise, given the fact that the first president of the country was a lover of “shoes” Leonid Kravchuk. And then “strong business executives”, from Dnepropetrovsk and from Donetsk, enthusiastically “sawing” the remnants of the Ukrainian economy, they preferred to give away to the throaty Westerners tribe such, in their opinion, unprofitable, boring and unimportant things like culture and ideology. How it all ended, we all know. Of the events of 2004 in 2010-2013, neither the conclusions nor the lessons were learned. Weapon and the militants who finally turned Euromaidan into a massacre and a coup d'état arrived in Kiev in February 2014 from Lviv ...

Any attempt to turn what is now called Ukraine into some kind of normal country with which Russia can again coexist is a priori doomed if Galichina remains in its composition. It's like trying to cure gangrene at an extremely advanced stage without surgery. The accession of these areas to the USSR was perhaps a mistake. A mistake that sooner or later will have to be corrected in one way or another. And it doesn’t matter whether they join the coveted Europe, becoming the voivodships of Poland (which they don’t even mind at all), part of any other EU countries or continue to exist as a separate “power”, the main national assets of which will be the monuments to Bandera and Shukhevych .

                But I do not agree with the author. In which case, do not give the territory to anyone. We do not have excess territory, but there is also no serfdom, who specifically disagrees with our rules, or disagrees, can completely move to permanent residence in another country, where he will be loved, respected and carried on his hands. This applies to absolutely all lands in the West and in the East and in the North Caucasus and in space, too.

                And what actually cut off?
                Crimea ?
                So he never was Ukraine.
                Donbass?
                And what part of it was cut off?
                I would even ask which of his voted part, part?
                These are the bits of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions that managed to fight back not without the help of Russia?
                But Donbass is not even the complete Donetsk and Lugansk regions, but also a considerable part of the Dnepropetrovsk region (the city of Pavlograd was historically the capital of the Western Donbass).
                And this is only about Donbass, except for which at least ALL of the Left Bank is historically Russian lands - New Russia. And the historically Russian population (except for a small fraction of those who have come in large numbers from Galicia over the past 30 years, and the historically perpendicular "people of God", of which there are a great many, but in absolute numbers - an absolute minority).
                Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhye, Ekaterinoslav (Dnepropetrovsk), Kharkov ... Is THIS Ukraine? !!! When did this historical New Russia manage to become her ?!
                If all the toponymy is Russian there, all the settlements were founded by immigrants from indigenous Russia, even in the villages of tradition the families are kept, that some of the ancestors were removed from Oryol, some from the Kursk province, and some from Moscow (Novomoskovsk) ...
                Is that now to help Soros and Co. will we deny our half-hearted ?! To the joy of the brutal Austrian Galicia ?!
                And Kiev is the mother of Russian cities ?! Yes, there until 1991 there was no Ukrainian speech, except perhaps at the bazaar from visitors, and even then - SURZHIK (South Russian dialect - they still speak in the Kuban), and not this gibberish, what is the "Ukrainian language" now issued - an absolutely artificial creation ... of the Dnepropetrovsk Philharmonic Society and Lviv Jews ("one old Jew who worked as an announcer on Lvov radio under Stalin") back in 1992. Then the Dnipropetrovsk Philharmonic released a self-study guide of the Ukrainian language ("because we now have a country, but there is NO language. We must teach!") - sets of 10 vinyl discs ... And now - in 28 years, first - the announcer (who at first amused people with their neo-language), then the kids from the elementary grades, then gradually the universities transferred to this gibberish !!! Now WHAT !? To recognize this nonsense and chutzpu as a historical "truth" ?!
                Give them people to eat?
                Recognize their right to own not only our land, the heritage of our ancestors, the industry (created by the forces of ALL the Country), the infrastructure, military equipment and weapons of the Soviet (not Ukrainian) Army, but also the very souls of our blood brothers and sisters, who were held hostage by these great-grandchildren Bandera ?!
                Is it not fat for the Galician servants? Even if they now found themselves a master of overseas?
                Can I leave them a reservation in the vicinity of Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk? Having previously disarmed and sent there EVERYONE who had previously spread across Malaya and Novaya Rus'? One and all! All bearers of "Ukrainian identity"! Preliminarily giving the court of the People's Tribunal all who shed blood, fought against the people of Donbass, volunteers, ALL "fighters of the ideological front."
                Don't you find the time to scatter stones has passed?
                Now is the time to collect the stones.
                And build from them a new common house on his father’s land.
                simply because it is OUR LAND.
                She even over the past 6 years has so abundantly watered the blood of OUR people, in the struggle for the right to LIVE ON THE EARTH OF THE FATHER according to her own rules, that if you betray this blood ... the coals will fall on the heads of traitors.

            If we approach this issue from a medical point of view, then you will agree that we will not draw the right conclusions.
            What is Ukraine? This is, first of all, the state. What is the state? These are: territory, borders, state. institutions (army, police, courts, etc., etc.), PEOPLE and AUTHORITIES.
            Considering that the territory of present-day Ukraine is primordially Russian lands (look at Israel, the state of Israel did not "stand" there for more than 2 millennia, but no, they returned and founded the state. They say these are our ancestral lands.), Then why are we should these lands be given to the West?
            People. What does the people of Ukraine want? Peace and tranquility. Who is bothering? Power! So who is our enemy? The people or the Ukrainian government? With whom should we fight with Ukraine or with the Ukrainian government? Having abandoned Ukraine, we will abandon the territory, originally ours, and from the people friendly to us. And this is to please the authorities of Ukraine and the West. And thus we will satisfy their desires. On whose mill water pouring gentlemen Voshniki?
            We need Ukraine !!! The ideal option - as part of Russia on the rights, for example, as Tatarstan.
            No, it means a separate, strong, independent, friendly Russia state.
            What have we done to make this happen? - Nothing !!!

                    Get out of your head. For example, it is important for me to know the opinion of any person on the issue under discussion. You never know what I agree with or disagree with. It happens that I correct my opinion thanks to the opinion of others. This is the meaning of communication, exchange of views. Well, if the opinion is based on knowledge, and not on emotions and ambitions. Know-it-alls and everyone who understands is not in nature. We learn from each other and this is wonderful.

                    Yes and no.
                    Yes, because the information space is captured by Russophobes, and citizens who live exclusively with their own heads and also raise their children, without a TV, in any society and at all times are an absolute minority.
                    No - because it is temporary (this can be seen even from the way they "play" on this field - purely as temporary workers). In addition, we must not forget that although the younger generation hears bad things about Russia and Russians from the cradle, this dish is cooked unprofessionally (like everything they do), which means that it often causes the opposite effect. In addition, the new generation is the generation of the Internet, and the Runet is so much more powerful than the "Ukrnet", simply because of its scale, quality, etc., that a very strong dissonance is created between what is "said" and what is "felt in the reality". And most importantly, the new generation does not remember the Soviet era, which means it does not remember exactly the everyday negativity characteristic of the 1980s, and therefore, again, it is increasingly difficult to convince young people that "the USSR was bad" - especially against the background of the fact that it learns about the achievements of industry, science, and even sports, during the Soviet era. And especially against the background of the current "economic results" of modern Ukraine. A person who learns that the Ukrainian SSR was in the top 1991, or even in the top 10 countries for high technology production, scientific achievements, industry, the power of the armed forces, etc. in 5, and sees that almost the cesspool, into which the country has slipped now, quite naturally certain questions and suspicions arise ...
                    Apparently, Ukraine will still have to fall apart, just to somehow get the prospect of survival at the level of just the people. The authorities are already frankly robbing critical things, not even trying to privatize at least the property - just the cogs - the same railway ... It seems that there has long been a consensus among Ukrainian oligarchs that the current president is the last ...
                    What parts and to whom will they go? This is the question! But it is obvious that the West has always perceived Ukraine as a fragment of the former empire that needs to be "finished off" (but not openly, but in fact, by pursuing an insidious policy), and not as a separate country from which a promising ally could emerge (as, for example, Poland). Those. it turns out that the West (first of all, the USA), as it were, agrees in advance that it will not "digest" Ukraine like Poland, and is ready for the fact that this fragment (most of it) will be picked up by Russia again in the future, but it does everything in order to raise the price of restoring the territory of Ukraine to a more or less adequate state for Russia in the future. Something like this. This is similar to a retreat tactic, leaving scorched earth to the enemy. Because if there were serious intentions to help Ukraine "get on its feet" as a state, then this could have been done a very long time ago and very effectively.
                    By the way, I do not exclude the possibility that the disintegration of the remaining Ukraine will begin with the secession of Galicia. In Europe, there are a lot of Ukrainians in earnings, and as soon as a more or less acute crisis sets in, many will have to return (and much more left Western Ukraine in percentage terms). Where to return to? Work, even low-paid, may not be enough even for half ... Then it may turn out that they will see the way out in separation from the rest of Ukraine in order to join Europe "at least a small part" - and it is very likely that the EU will "sing along "because At the same time, the "buffer" moves further east from the borders of Poland and Hungary ...

        Old Dedka said well: "... we ... are not needed" ... The country of Russia - Great Russia certainly needs Ukraine - Little Russia. As part of the whole. This is our Russian World! But the state that is now functioning on the territory of Russia, the author of the commentary calls it - "RK" ("Capitalist Russia"), it is not able to manage Russia either. It has led Russia into a "historical impasse", into some kind of "impassable quagmire." What can it give Russians or Ukrainians living on the territory of Ukraine? What has it given the Russians in Russia over the past 30 years? ...
        He, year after year, makes Russians and other peoples pay Tribute to America in the form of a predatory ruble-dollar exchange rate ... More than 60 rubles for a "green candy wrapper" ... Does everyone know and remember the occupation mark's exchange rate against the ruble? One mark of the Third Reich in 1941 was equal to 10 Soviet rubles. ONLY 10 rubles!
        What has changed since 1995, when Clinton said his famous words: "... we got an appendage of raw materials, a state not destroyed by the atom ..."?
        RK is a worthless, weak-willed and wingless state. What did it give to New Russia? For FIVE YEARS (!) It was possible to build first-class roads, open closed mines and build new mines, machine-building plants, start up metallurgical plants at full capacity ... "migrant workers" could come from the territory of Ukraine, Moldova ... None of this. Year after year, Novorossia is sinking lower and lower, turning into a depressive Russian boondocks. Beggarly salaries (in fact, benefits), unemployment, scanty pensions, prostitution, disoriented youth, for whom swearing, and not Russian or Ukrainian, has become a "ridiculous language." Almost every day - "XNUMXth" and "XNUMXth" on the "line of contact". Only globalists and their accomplices on both sides of the "line" can be satisfied with what is happening.

                In your comment, there is a doubt that the common people of our countries (that is, Russia too) should be interested in the mercantilization of relations between our countries. I think that there is a part of the people in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine who are interested in creating an empire in which all three countries will be components without dividing into metropolises and protectorates. It’s just a big country, into which Belarus and Ukraine could enter on the same rights as Tatarstan, for example. True, this is what the collective West wants to deprive us of. I think, also, that a fairly large part of the people with authority, in this sense, I wish about the same. It is not true that a simple person is necessarily a patriot of his country, and a high-level official or leader is necessarily a traitor and slave to his stomach. The world is much more complicated than such a simplified division into good and bad.

                    For 20 years of the union state, Russia directly and indirectly injected more than $ 133 billion into the economy of Belarus. This infusion (almost 10% of the GDP of the Republic of Belarus) is supported by the system for supporting the country's social standards. Is the system wrong? And what is that? Where is that system? The state, instead of its development programs within the country, finances another country, and without even having symbolic support in political matters for this. You write about "do not care" because you probably forgot what the sequestration of social programs is. Remember the 90s, when pensions, benefits and salaries of state employees were delayed for several months. How the miners straightened the "humpbacked bridge" in Moscow with helmets. Today all this is gone and forgotten. It's a pity. Do you see "cuts" everywhere?

    Now the mayor of Lviv - Sadovoy does not give up the dust of our scout Nikolai Kuznetsov to a family in Russia.
    He wants to exchange for "Ukrainian prisoners in Muscovy".
    Trades the bones of a hero.
    Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov is a man - a legend. In the occupied territory of Ukraine, under the name of Paul Siebert, he managed to destroy 11 German generals and senior officials involved in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Soviet civilians.
    He died in a battle with Bandera in the Lviv region in March 1944.
    Not wanting to surrender to the fanatic, he blew himself up with a grenade.
    Now this Bandera bastard still holds him captive ...

    The accession of these areas to the USSR was perhaps a mistake. A mistake that sooner or later will have to be corrected in one way or another.

    The mistake was a voluntaristic decision to release and authorize the return to the old place of residence of Bandera's remnants from the places where they were exiled, and where they were to be buried under license plates without monuments. And the accession of these territories made it possible to increase the difficult road to the German Wehrmacht, which allowed us to do what was done. Namely, do not let the enemy into Moscow. The author of this decision is N.S. Khrushchev. It’s a pity you can’t ask him anymore. But there is Kravchuk with Kui and Yushchenko, who allowed to strengthen this infection and get a legitimate position in the country. It was quite within their power to crush the bastards, with some desire, but for political and mercantile reasons these short-sighted politicians fell under the influence of the eternal enemy and betrayed their country. Not us, Ukraine. So their affairs should be investigated, it may even be a special commission of the CIS, and a decision should be made on the assessment of their activities in order to pass them on to the responsible leadership of Ukraine. Most likely today Ukraine will have to federalize and dismember the state into at least two, or maybe three, parts. Otherwise, the end of the war will not be for a long time. Zelensky is not an assistant here. He stumbles to the end of the term and conscientiously disappears from politics. It is already necessary today to seek a successor by non-public measures and give him strength to combat the prevailing political villains.

    The fact is that after receiving Russian citizenship by the main part of Ukrainians, the state of Ukraine, as a state, can simply disappear, "like dew on the sun," just like it is sung in the Ukrainian anthem, only not enemies, but Ukraine itself, will perish.
    After obtaining Russian citizenship by the soldiers and commanders of the DPR and LPR, these armies will already be Russian.
    Then the APU will already really be at war with Russia.

    And it doesn’t matter whether they join the coveted Europe, having become the voivodships of Poland (which they don’t even mind at all), part of any other EU countries or will continue to exist as a separate “power”, the main national assets of which will be the monuments to Bandera and Shukhevych .
    We can assume with a high degree of probability that in the event of a negative (by Western standards) development of the situation, this territory can be made the same "black hole" that Kosovo was made.
    It is vitally important for the Americans to have such places of deployment where no inspectors, controllers, or curiosities will stick their noses.
    And Galicia is suitable for this role, like no other.

    Whoever said that, but until you see and visit Ukraine yourself, and in its different regions, it’s hard to perceive everything, to give an assessment. Who was in Crimea is still not Ukraine, because there are completely different people. But it’s rightly said that the humanitarian sphere was given to people of Western orientation, for some years it was headed by a certain Kurys. And from the beginning of the 90s it started to go. The language began to change, personnel policy (transfer of specialists from west to south and east), from problematic western regions (flood) were relocated to the south, center and east of the country, someone himself left the west ..... All of this mass (just like Asians and other little blacks in Europe) created an aura of Ukrainians around themselves. Problems with the Russian language did not arise now, it is clear and systematic politics, they’ve just finished the question. Westerners stopped speaking Russian in the mid-80s!

    I read the article and comments ... Sadness. Although there is progress. In 2017, when he wrote that, in general, for the Russian Federation, Ukraine did not really need so many minuses picked up .... Now they are getting pluses for such statements. The main thing is that to get the pluses, it is imperative to hint that Belarus, Ukraine and Russia are one people, and it is necessarily the Russian people who artificially divided whether Jews or Anglo-Saxons .... Boring. When will insight come?
    It will be 30 years since the collapse of the USSR next year. Those who made the collapse of the USSR were at that time in their prime, even if they were 25 and older. Now a new generation has already grown up, which even in childhood the USSR did not find them for 29 years. And what about those who lived under the USSR today are they? Now, by the standards of the USSR, it is time for them to either be retired or just before they retire. In the USSR, they did not hesitate to say about such people to make room for "young people everywhere have a road" ... Yes, in the USSR, a person at the age of 55-60 was considered an old senile, and not as they now think that it is still possible to plow on it and is equally useful at logging 60 an old man and a 30 year old bug.
    So why am I ... But what’s now the generation of people who did not know the USSR has grown up and it rules as its state can, and it grew up against the backdrop of centrifugal forces from the collapse of the USSR, and those who remember the joint friendship of the peoples have nothing decide. So are the fraternal peoples Ukrainians-Belarusians-Russians? Not sure.
    Maybe there are objective reasons for the unification of states? I do not see such. In the economy, each state is guided by its needs and these states have nothing to offer each other vital. There is no external aggressor for the one for all three, well, or at least two of the three states, so there is no reason even for a certain confederation. All three states profess capitalism in such a way that no one will talk about the united soul of the people. And it is not necessary to say that some regions or areas of states are allegedly opposing the unification ... No. Objectively, the peoples of the states do not particularly want to live together.

    The article is honest and objective. Ukraine has NEVER been and will NOT be united, contrary to the assertion of the current Ukrainian authorities, Bandera, stupid and unscrupulous Russians.

Such a structure is not a Ukrainian feature: these are all the societies of the world (active minority and passive majority).

    Does Ukraine need Russia ... Do you need fertile lands located in zones favorable for agriculture and viticulture? Do you need mineral deposits? Do you need the remnants of industry that can still be restored? Do you need powerful Black Sea ports? Do you need the remains of shipyards on which you can build aircraft carriers, other large ships and ships? Do you need former leaders of the marine and aircraft engine industry, which can still be reanimated? Do you need a territory without NATO bases and its western border at a distance of 1000 km (if without Western Ukraine) from the western border of Russia with a loyal and friendly population? Certainly - Russia needs Ukraine. But with ANOTHER government and OTHER authorities. And for this you need to allow, do not interfere ( smile ) LDNR army to begin the liberation of Ukraine. I believe that the influx of volunteers will be large. And, of course, then capital cleaning and denazification will be required. Some will say: we ourselves do not have extra money and energy.
