As screwed to Krut
Legend has it that Hrushevsky, Petlyura and Vinnichenko are convinced fighters for the independence of Ukraine. In reality, separatism was announced only a week before Crute.
One of the readers of the newspaper Today, who sent his comment to our website, suggested calling it historical event "by the bike" Pid Krutami ". Like, there’s so much lied around him. But a bike is not only bullshit. In another sense, it is a fable. And a fable in its very genre is an instructive work, the task of which is to allegorically teach us a lesson. The battle of Kruty, as a trick, gathered all the typical features of Ukrainian history: cowardice, confusion, vanity, embezzlement, futile efforts of a few professionals to defeat these vices with a flash of heroism, their quick failure and the desire to hide their ends in water - under the muddy foam of PR.
There is a misconception that many researchers share that the “Project Ukraine” was a deeply thought-out special operation of the German and Austrian special services during the First World War. They say that Russian intelligence had to face just a hundred-headed hydra grown in Galicia in the laboratory of the black genius of Metropolitan Sheptytsky! Alas, the ridiculous truth is that this Austrian cavalry officer of Polish origin became “Ukrainian” only because he fell off a horse and, because of his injuries in the most important place for a man, was forced to change his uniform for a cassock. He was anything but a genius.
All the other fathers of independence turned out to be the same "eunuchs". Take at least the same Grushevskogo. Best of all, he managed to build houses and mobilize his students to write the multivolume, incompatible work “History of Ukraine-Rus”. Until the end of his life, Grushevsky did not learn to really speak Ukrainian. The language of his Ukrainian works is dead. When you read his Ukrainian-language works, it seems that he writes in Esperanto. His texts written in Russian leave a completely different impression. Immediately obvious - this language is native to him. Hrushevsky spoke Russian in the family, in the gymnasium, at the university. And the “Ukrainian right” turned out to be just a job for him - exactly the same as for some current grant eaters. The future professor simply did not have a place in the department of Russian history at the Kiev University of St. Vladimir, and he went abroad - to Lviv, where, due to the lack of local cultural personnel, there was a free professor’s position. Few people remember that the article in which he first called Galicia "Ukrainian Piedmont" was written in Russian and published in St. Petersburg in 1906 year - for royal rubles!
Legend has it that Hrushevsky, Petlyura and Vinnichenko are convinced fighters for the independence of Ukraine. What plans of this struggle they hatched for decades. In reality, the only supporter of Ukraine’s independence was, until 1918, only the eccentric Kiev lawyer Nikolai Mikhnovsky, the author of “Independent Ukraine”, published in Lviv in the year 1900. But even Mikhnovsky tried with all his might to conceal his "independent acts" from the tsarist government. His brochure was published anonymously. The general public did not know him at all. More precisely, she knew only as a rowdy who had beaten off his wife from his boss. Idealistic love for Ukraine did not prevent Mikhnovsky from conducting the entire world war as a military prosecutor in Kiev.
Both Simon Petlyura, and Grushevsky, and Vinnichenko, and the whole Central Rada were federalists up to January 22, 1918, when the IV Universal came out. The maximum that they claimed was the autonomy of Ukraine within the Russian Democratic Republic.
While in Petrograd their political friends, the Freemasons of Kerensky and the company, were in power, such a federation seemed quite possible. Both the Provisional Government and the Central Rada spoke the same political language. They dreamed of a Constituent Assembly and endless discussions, and the future history was seen as intellectual gatherings. Only not in the kitchen, but in the parliament. Everything changed the coup 25 of October (7 November to n. Art.) In Petrograd. The arrival of the Bolsheviks - tough and resolute people - showed that discussions are canceled. But after that, it took two months for the yellow-blue parrots from the Central Council to figure out: it's time to take independence!
The battle near Kruty occurred on January 29 1918 of the year - just a week after the adoption of the Central Rada IV Universal, which proclaimed independence. It is surprising that at least someone rode Kruta! There was simply no time left for “mobilization” and preparation for war.
People often ask why Ukraine failed at the beginning of the 20th century? After all, Finland, Poland gained independence. Yes, and Lenin managed to seize almost the entire former Russian Empire, although in the past not a single day was in the public service. The thing is that between Pilsudski and Lenin, on the one hand, and Grushevsky and Petlyura, on the other, there was a fundamental difference. Pilsudski is a gangster. During the years of the Russian-Japanese war, he managed to get as far as Japan to beat out money for terrorist attacks against the Russian government. Pilsudski personally led the train raids! Lenin also did not direct the institution of noble maidens, but a gang of the most dangerous thugs. His young assistant Comrade Stalin took the banks! Dzerzhinsky cut the throat of a policeman was easier than you and me chicken. This tubercle was shooting hundreds of people, and no one ever heard that after that he was tormented by nightmares. "Iron" Felix was truly iron. The only one who was not afraid of him was Koch’s wand. And Vinnichenko in his entire life learned to command only his wife Rosa. And even students were frankly laughing at Hrushevsky. Bearded, in galoshes, always afraid of colds - is this the leader? And even Petliura, before learning to shoot, had to undergo a long evolution from the editor who published the Russian-language magazine Ukrainian Life to the “dictator” of Ukraine before the revolution in Moscow, which in fact it will become only a year after Krut!
Finland was fully prepared for independence. Until 1917, this is a completely formed country with its Sejm, political parties and currency - the Finnish mark. Only the common emperor connected her with Russia. As soon as the first revolution overthrew the king, the separation of Finland became a matter of time. What was missing was the formality. Before the 1917, Ukraine existed in the minds of only a few dozen more or less intelligent people.
In 1903, a monument to Kotlyarevsky was opened in Poltava. All the “conscious Ukrainians” that were available at that time went there from Kiev. We rode the train. Someone joked that if the train crashes, then the whole Ukrainian movement will end there. The audience laughed. But the phrase did not mean that the whole train consisted of some “Ukrainians”. If one were to assemble them in one place from this train, there would hardly have been more than one car!
Lenin all his life before 1917 year calculates options for his invasion of active politics. His articles show the passion with which he follows events and tries to predict their development. He left a great theoretical legacy. He possessed the instinct of power and already in the era of the first party congresses he managed to knock together a group of loyal energetic comrades - that same famous Council of People. Sverdlov, Kamenev, Stalin, even the “Judah” Trotsky are all brilliant personnel records of Vladimir Ilyich. They, like dogs, had to be untied - they would tear.
The nominal head of the Central Rada of Grushevsky against the background of these red guardsmen of the revolution is just an old barrel with rotten cabbage. Do you know what he dreamed about before the First World War? Serve an Austrian professorial pension in Lviv and quietly resign. I repeat, he never dreamed seriously about the independence of Ukraine! For him, it was a way to make money and originate against the background of dozens of ordinary "loyal subjects" professors. When the story called him, he was not ready, like a bad student for the exam.
But maybe the people were different? Our bottoms are used to throwing everything to the top, forgetting that the "cream" is made from milk. What kind of milk - such and cream. Necha blame the mirror, if the face is crooked. What was the "face" of the then Ukrainian people?
In the memoirs of Petliura general Yur Tyutyunnik there is an episode, as in 1917, he decided to form a “Ukrainian” regiment. For this, within the framework of the policy of Ukrainization, which was carried out by the Provisional Government and the Central Rada, recruits from the Poltava, Kiev, Chernihiv, Volyn, Kholmsk, Podolsk, Kherson, Ekaterinoslav and Kharkiv provinces were selected. In general, from all over Ukraine. I quote literally:
“It hurt up to seven thousand. In my opinion, I zaproponuv:
- Who are you, Ukrainian, podnesіt hand to burn!
Not three times the hands.
- Little Russians! Give hands!
The hands of Kolo half of the presence.
- Hahli! Give hands!
Znov pіdnesla hands good tretina.
- Ukraїntsі, malorosi and hahli! All at once pіdnesіt hands!
Ponad heads kіlkatisyaknoi ї рrbi pіdnіsssya lis hands.
So, out of seven thousand people who arrived to Ukrainize (this is a very decent sociological sample!), In the 1917 year, only three hundred Ukrainians identified themselves as Ukrainians! Pathetic 4,28 percent! The rest considered themselves to be Ukrainians, Little Russians - by anyone, but not Ukrainians. This is the real picture of what we call the national consciousness of the masses.
During the First World War, the Austrians tried to form military units against Russia from the same prisoners "Ukrainians", "Little Russians" and "Ukrainians". Nothing succeeded. The head of the Austrian intelligence, Max Ronge, was forced to state: "These prisoners were interested in socialist ideals, but by no means national."
Although officially at the time of the battle at Kruty, the power in Kiev belonged to the Central Rada, but for the most part the population of the “capital of Ukraine” was either red or white. Podol and Arsenal controlled the Red Guard detachments. All the forces of the Central Rada were sent to suppress the Kiev uprising of the Bolsheviks, who enjoyed great support from the lower ranks of the city. Therefore, a tiny detachment was sent to Kruty, right up to the notorious student platoon, captured by ants.
To tell the truth, in Ukraine in 1918, the struggle between several political projects unfolded. Red, white, yellow-blue and black (anarchist). Three of them, one way or another, were focused on a united Russia. Only saw her in their own way. Against this background, the weak Ukrainian project had no chance. It was not for nothing that he was perceived as operetta. The lack of seriousness was already in the names that the Kermans offered to the people. For example, the Ukrainian army began with the “Vіska Ukrainian Club of Hetman Polubotka,” which was invented by Nikolai Mikhnovsky. Think about what kind of associations a normal person causes the word "club"? A place where they drink and walk! So it happened in reality. As the participants in the battle of Kruty recalled, their command was overwhelmed before the battle and jerked from the station on the train at the very first shots, leaving the fighters without cartridges. The train with the commanders had to catch up on the loose snow. You can imagine what speed the Ukrainian junkers developed, if they nevertheless caught up with this staff! And with machine guns that dragged on themselves.
Not without reason, these memories did not come out from the same 1918 of the year when they were published in the Kiev Military Science Bulletin. Here's how this heroic story sounds in the original: “Dovgo rose didn’t turn, the year’s return on 2 of the day was returned by the head of 2-oє, where the reshta dilosi - nevidomo i said, the Bolsheviks are advancing. Yak I feel tse, then I am lost in the head: “disappearing around! That is the third with me. ” Znova zachinivsya sharvarok, Znova bezgluzdya, Znova vse otltsі, bіlsh yak half, pіshli on linіyu, Mayuchi on 1 th clip naboiv. Nykhto without turning uvagi on those scho headquarters pulling out of the station already lit up !!! from the headquarters of the two officers ofits-art-ours and our centurion, the headquarters efforts were carried out by a little girl and young people, before the headquarters they rushed into the middle of the battle for the tools, the ale yogo and the next idle
If, fortunately, Ukrainian myth-makers were lucky, the Bolsheviks would not capture a student platoon that did not participate in the battle along with the nephew of the Foreign Minister of the Central Rada, Vladimir Shulgin, and not break it, Kruty would have remained only a banal exchange of fire followed by a drape. Young people want to make war. But in war they kill. It happens. Nothing can be done about it. Moreover, the young people are killed the more, the slower the brains of adults at the top move their brains. It is not for nothing that the memoirist, already mentioned by me, called that event “bikoy pіd Kruty without patrons”. And if to be completely accurate, then without brains. Until Krut tightened. And now get out - for almost a hundred years.
From the memoirs of the participant in the battle of Kruty: “I feel like a yak, then I’m lost to my head:“ I lost sight! That is the third with me. ” Znova zachinivsya sharvarok, znu blastless "...
One of the readers of the newspaper Today, who sent his comment to our website, suggested calling it historical event "by the bike" Pid Krutami ". Like, there’s so much lied around him.

Sinezhepanniki. The glorious warriors fled home soon after their arrival in Kiev in the spring of 1918

Hrushevsky most of all dreamed of getting a state professorial pension from Austria

"Leaders" of Ukraine. In the center - Prime Minister Vinnichenko. Far right - Minister of War Petlura
Finland was fully prepared for independence. Until 1917, this is a completely formed country with its Sejm, political parties and currency - the Finnish mark.
