Three ways of Ukraine and one Putin

Three ways of Ukraine and one Putin


Any modern reality is based on a powerful historical foundation. And if you look at modern Ukraine in this context, you cannot fail to see that it represents a cast of at least three historical layers.

The first historical layer - the legacy of Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Central Ukraine fully reproduces the boundaries of the hetman state since the Pereiaslav Rada. In its behavior, this part of Ukraine resembles the behavior of someone who stands on Sophia Square in Kiev. Let me remind you that the hetman raised Cossacks for an uprising in the 1648 year in order to defend the freedoms granted by the former kings of the Commonwealth.

At the beginning, no one even stuttered about autonomy. But when it went too far, and the sea of ​​spilled blood finally divided the two opposing camps (Poles and Cossacks), Khmelnitsky urgently had to change the political vector.

And then the question arose of choosing a new patron in the person of the Moscow Tsar, which automatically implied the entry of Moscow into the war with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. At the end of his short life, Khmelnitsky made another leash by concluding an alliance with the Swedish king Charles X. His successor and son, Yury Khmelnitsky, went even further, without hesitation, changed the oath of allegiance to the Tsar of Moscow for an alliance with Poland against Russia.

“In terms of foreign policy, it’s more profitable for the Kremlin to develop relations with key players in the EU, above all with Germany”

For several decades, the Hetmanate rushed, alternately joining the union and betraying the Polish and Swedish kings, the Moscow Tsar, the Turkish Sultan. In the end, this is so annoying to everyone, all the neighbors are so tired of fighting each other because of such an unreliable "ally" that Warsaw and Moscow decided to simply agree, dividing Ukraine in half. Today, the ever-changing electoral sympathies of Central Ukraine are very reminiscent of these throwings by the hetman state Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

The second layer - the legacy of Catherine II. This is South-Eastern Ukraine, which was formed at the expense of Novorossiysk Territory reclaimed from Turkey in the 18th century and Slobozhanshchina reorganized by the great Empress. Catherine the Great not only won this land and secured it against raids, she also laid the foundations of its economic significance. It was with her that metallurgy appeared in the Donbass, for the needs of which coal mining began. It was she who made the Ukrainian Black Sea ports not only centers of shipbuilding, but also centers of active trade. Ukrainian bread went through them, stimulating the rise of domestic agriculture. It is thanks to her that Slobozhanshchina, together with Kharkov, has turned from a military-administrative region into an economically prosperous region. Thanks to this push, the industry in Ukraine demonstrated the tremendous pace that Vladimir Putin spoke about during a conference in Kiev. It is clear that, economically and mentally connected with Russia, this region will always strive to the East.

The third layer is the legacy of the Habsburg empire, i.e., Western Ukraine. In 1707, passing through the main city of the region - Lviv, the carriage of Peter I got stuck in the mud on its central square. And in the future, Western Ukraine has always remained a deaf province, devoid of any significance. Labor migration has always been directed more to the West, and this has formed specific “pro-European” sentiments here. The Soviet era buried the weak Russophile movement that existed in Galicia. And now, alas, one does not have to hope for support to the supporters of integration with Russia. Probably, one should not try to convince the inhabitants of this land to abandon their pro-European illusions. The very course of history will put everything in its place.

It is clear that today, under any circumstances, Western Ukraine will not want to integrate with Russia, but you will not force South-Eastern Ukraine to join the EU, since this implies the closure of the border in the East. At the same time, Yanukovych demonstrates a complete unwillingness to resolve these contradictions. What should Putin do? To persuade Yanukovych once again, knowing that it will not do anything until a strong support for integration with Russia is formed in the country? Trying to force your will on the Ukrainian elite?

In the 17th century, Moscow tried to push the hetman power towards closer integration in the conditions of war. This did not end well for Russia itself. Should Putin repeat the mistakes of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich? Close your eyes and turn away? But we are talking about millions of compatriots who, as a result of the collapse of a single country, were separated by a border! We are talking about the territories for which rivers of Russian blood have been shed!

In my opinion, Putin’s position in these conditions is more thoughtful. She is pragmatic in economic terms. Moscow cannot fail to see that Ukraine is increasingly turning into a country dependent on imports. Today, even potatoes, sugar and lard are brought to Kiev from abroad. Unlike Ukraine, the Russian economy is developing new areas, and the meaning of imports of Ukrainian goods is increasingly declining. Hence the protective customs measures against Kiev. The same situation with the Ukrainian migrants, who in the bulk are unskilled labor.

But in the information plan, apparently, Russia plans to increase its presence. This will allow, at least, to deprive the apologists of the European integration of a monopoly in the Ukrainian information market. After all, it is no secret that in the country there are whole hordes of people raised on Western grants and, accordingly, biased journalists, political scientists and other experts.

In terms of foreign policy, it is more profitable for the Kremlin to develop relations with key players in the EU, primarily with Germany. In the end, it will depend primarily on the position of Berlin whether to sign the Association Agreement with Ukraine. And if the Germans see that there are more benefits from cooperation with Moscow, they will find a thousand excuses why the above document is not ready for signing.

Especially since in September 2013, the parliamentary elections will be held in Germany, and it’s not a fact that Angela Merkel will be able to form a new governmental coalition based on their results. And the Social Democrats since the times of Schroeder have been more loyal to Russia.

In the light of these events, you involuntarily ask yourself whether the EU and Russia will act with Kiev in the same way as the Moscow tsar and the king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - with the corrupt Hetman's power in 1667 year?

            Unfortunately, I don’t remember, but on some site I read an article by a Ukrainian politician (I don’t remember my last name either, because it was about a year ago) about the future of Ukraine. He predicts the collapse of Ukraine in case of signing an agreement with the EU. Not immediately, but after some time. This will be due to the fact that at the request of the EU, mines will be closed (due to environmental damage from the use of coal), metallurgical plants will decline (due to the fact that the EU will not buy products, and in Russia large duties will be introduced, and the products will not become competitive), and there are many more factors that will lead to the impoverishment of the population, which will entail a riot, as a result of which a referendum will be held on separation from Ukraine and the formation of Eastern Ukraine and the Republic of Crimea. These republics then quietly join the structure of Russia as a federation. By the way, this was also written about in the foreign press.

              Another EU will force to sign the act of systematization of food products! And in this act there are no such names (for example, condensed milk or pickles, also lard with garlic there is a lot of any national provisions).
              TIME NO - PRODUCTION WILL BE FORBIDDEN!

            The nezalezhniki were doing it again. Vilna Ukraine has arisen more than once, and more than once it has ended up with the same thing: total theft of everything from everyone, betrayal of everyone who is possible, and at the same time global nonsense at all possible levels. The result of such "vigor and independence" is always the same - the collapse of this quasi-power into small fragments and their selection by neighbors. So it will be this time. The end is as clear as God's day.

        MoloRussia? Then we can say Kievan Rus.
        The largest and most ardent nationalists in Ukraine are the Russians who live there. And it amazes me the most.
        The biggest problem is that in Russia and Ukraine the "right of the strong", not the law. And most people are already fed up with it, especially young people. They want to live freely.
        Ukraine is considered a poor country and this is not because people are loafers. And from the fact that its leaders are so invited, let's say dishonest so to say. And it makes people look for ways to live. And so a lot of people go abroad, to Russia, to Europe. And those who come from Europe, they come completely different, they already think differently. And this lawlessness which is created by them categorically does not like, and not only to them.
        The difference in the situation between Russia and Ukraine is the difference in the number of minerals sold over the hill. And from this the difference in the quality of life.
        But the struggle between technology and minerals, technology will win and this is an indisputable fact.

          “Moscow cannot but see that Ukraine is increasingly turning into a country dependent on imports. Today even potatoes, sugar and lard are brought to Kiev from abroad.” - oh, how funny!
          We are teaching Ukrainians life, and we have long since lost our food independence (in the sense that if we cut off food supplies from abroad in the Russian Federation, then we will begin hunger).
          In stores, finding domestic meat is a problem. Apples polish, Israeli carrot. If the potato is domestic, then it is necessarily sick, it does not lie for a long time.

            hi
            Taking for the truth that history is developing in a spiral, it can be stated with some certainty that -
            after some time Ukraine will face the rejection of Crimea, and God forbid, without bloodshed and the restoration of the Crimean Khanate under the vassal dependence of Turkey, and its return under the protectorate of Russia, which is historically justified.
            And also the recognition of the independence of Galicia, this is in the event that Ukraine does not want to become the Nazi-Bandera Galicia in all its borders or, restoring historical justice, returning it to Poland ...

            You're wrong. Just take a closer look at the topic. For example, in poultry meat, Russia has already become self-sufficient, the same with pork meat.
            There are concepts of food security and food addiction.
            Russia has already ensured food security, .. there is food dependence on certain types of products.
            But this does not threaten hunger.
            Recently I was surprised to learn that Russia supplies pork to Ukraine. It used to be the other way around. In this regard, Ukraine even took discriminatory measures regarding the supply of these products from Russia.

            If you block the supply of products from abroad, then agriculture will revive. We have millions of hectares of arable land overgrown with weeds and birch forests because it is impossible for peasants to sell their products at the price of foreigners, whose production dates back 90 times more than Russian agricultural producers. Just think about it! 1 ha of arable land in Russia receives 170 rubles of state subsidies, and in Europe 340 euros!

              hi
              And who told you that Freedom is nationalists?

              "Svobodovtsy" supported the Polish nationalists, who claim that a significant part of Western Ukraine, in particular the Lviv region, is in fact Polish territory. This suggests that "Svoboda" is ready to pay any price and make any compromises, even giving up part of the territory of Ukraine just to be recognized by political parties and movements in the EU countries. Fortunately, many Polish publicists and authors reminded Polish radical nationalists what Svoboda was, after which even groups of Polish skinheads - the most right-wing radicals - realized who they were dealing with and that it was impossible to get involved with Ukrainian Svoboda, ” - commented Mateusz Piskorski.
              According to him, VO "Svoboda" is the only completely isolated nationalist party in Europe. "As a political scientist, I will say: since it is the only isolated nationalist party, it means that it differs from a number of right-wing radical forces in Western Europe. First, by direct slogans directly related to Nazi ideology. Of course, you can spread nationalist slogans, but all this usually happens within the framework of observance of the rules of democracy and fundamental human rights.In Europe now there are no parties that directly call for violence against national minorities.There are all sorts of anti-emigrant movements, but there are no parties that talk about the need to study the genetic roots of a particular nation and exclusion from it people whose genetic roots do not match the pattern of the given nation, "he said.
              The Polish expert is sure that the Ukrainian "Svoboda" is not part of the nationalist movement and the nationalist ideology of Europe. "Freedom" is a kind of pathology of the Hitler type. This party has no friends in Europe, perhaps with the exception of German neo-fascists. Now the Europeans are sincerely surprised that the "Svoboda" members have entered the Ukrainian parliament. We hope that the voice of the "right-wing" European politicians who refuse any contacts and ties with "Svoboda" will influence the voters of this political force in the future. Let people think carefully about their choice, and if they want to support some right-wing conservative or even nationalist parties, there are such in Ukraine, and they are much more civilized than Svoboda. I think that in the near future we will see numerous analytical materials and reports, including representatives and experts associated with the nationalist right-wing parties, who will give their assessment of the activities of the VO "Svoboda". I am more than sure that the European parties will emphasize that they have nothing to do with such phenomena, "said Mateusz Piskorski.

                I won’t tire of repeating that VO “Freedom” is the last Nazi bystryuk from the SS men from the Nazi guard units of Galichin, punitive mercenaries from the Nakhtigal and Roland battalions, and the Bandera population friendly to the Third Reich troops - speaking under the slogan “There is no God but Bandera Bogeyman is his prophet. And the so-called Western Ukraine - Galicia has never been Ukraine! Until the 1939 year - the ghetto of Europe (actually not even having its own industry, however, as now) and the litter for Poland, Austria-Hungary and fascist Germany. If it weren’t for the Soviet Union with the “m. Oskaly” in the 1939, which made it possible for it to exist and be called Western Ukraine as such, and its inhabitants - Ukrainians (!), Then they would still be sucked from these cities. would be proud of it! Yes, and now they mostly plow guest workers with nostalgia. Throughout their history, they fought with Kievan Rus, the Ukrainian Cossacks and Orthodoxy, therefore, in fact, they have no right to be called Ukrainians! Therefore, when the Galician ruling elite and the nationalist opposition speak of the “unity” of Ukraine, one should be aware that this refers to the unconditional surrender to the ideas of Bandera, the ideals of mercenaries from the special battalions and SS members of Galicia, Russophobia of the OUN-UPA and outspoken nationalist totalitarianism - the ideology formed in Galicia by the centuries-old efforts of Poles and Austrians, which boils down to the fact that the Ukrainian should fiercely hate everything Russian, including in himself.

                      Or with this information? -
                      The role of Galicia, which became part of the Ukrainian SSR only in 1939, and before that - from the end of the 14th century, divorced from the ethnogenesis, historical and cultural development of the Ukrainian people, in modern Ukraine is completely absurd. On the one hand, this is the most depressed region that could not survive without permanent subsidies from the state budget, consisting mainly of deductions from the industrialized southeastern regions. The majority of the population of Galicia successfully work abroad, does not pay taxes, but fully enjoys budgetary social protection.
                      On the other hand, the ruling Galich elite, which positions itself as an all-Ukrainian elite, behaves as if it contains Ukraine and therefore has the right to lead it. It is she who gives binding orders - which native language, which church to go to, who should be considered national heroes, and how ardently to love NATO.
                      Sevastopol or Odessa and the head would not come to arrange landings in Lviv to crush the monuments of Bandera, the seizure of temples or the requirements to teach children only in Russian. In Galicia, such political tourism, often paid for from special funds of state structures, became a permanent profitable, albeit disgusting industry.
                      The centuries-old misanthropic experiment conducted by Poland, Austria-Hungary, the Third Reich to turn Galicia into an anti-Russian, anti-Orthodox and ultimately anti-Ukrainian bridgehead, was a success. The anti-Russian and anti-Ukrainian ideology imposed on Galicia from the outside, with the help of the grown “fifth column”, forms the basis for a further offensive and its transfer to the Great Ukraine, whose population has never refused historical Ukrainian-Russian unity.
                      Expand the bridgehead to the borders of Russia is impossible without the destruction of the deep national mentality and erasure, even the amputation of historical memory, in which the zombie Galicia is called upon to play a key role.
                      Galicia has always been interested in foreign puppeteers not by itself - Galicians differently than “cannon fodder”, neither Warsaw, nor Vienna, nor Berlin were perceived, which showed the way of “Sich Riflemen”, SS “Galicia”, other invaders mercenaries.
                      Earlier, the Nazis also urgently needed Galichian punishers, who enthusiastically took on the dirtiest work, which disgusted even the German Einsatz groups. Traitors from Great Ukraine rarely could count on big posts in the occupation administration. Usually there was no progress beyond an ordinary policeman, a camp guard or an informant agent who was rewarded with rations, good coffee, things shot or a senior shutsman's badge. But the cadres brought to 1941 from Galicia became the basis of the staff of the occupational administration and the punitive organs of the Reich Commissariat "Ukraine", such as all the leaders of Kiev's "Ukrainian auxiliary police" - Butkevych, Zakhvalynsky, Kabayda, Orlik. It is indicative that the first, most massive, executions at Babi Yar after the refusal of the commander of the German Einsatz group were specifically entrusted to the future elite of the UPA - the Bukovinsky smoking room under the command of Peter Voinovsky.

                        Have you ever been to Western Ukraine, talked with people? I think no.
                        Ordinary people live there, there are no destroyed churches, no one does anything there on church holidays and Sundays. People go to church.
                        There are, of course, different "artists", but their percentage is no more than not living in other places.
                        For me personally, there is no difference between Bolshevism and fascism. Both those and those nonhumans.
                        I am not a supporter of some kind of party, for me this issue has long been closed.
                        But I will tell you this, you never need to hang tags. On the one hand, this is the easiest way, but on the other hand the most terrible and bloody one, it does not lead to understanding, it leads to mutual hatred. And between different people, there is always a more general undead of different things. And if you want, you can always find a common language.
                        Now in Ukraine in power, the forces that Russia wanted in 2004, and the relationship is worse than the "orange", why? Ask yourself why?
                        Yes, because interests are different.

                        Nothing like this. Oranzheve did not want to sign a new agreement with the Russian Federation on the Black Sea Fleet, but Yanukovych signed. There are of course problems, but they can be solved. All of them are based on geopolitics.

              And therefore you are mistaken ...
              The President of Russia cannot, in fact, be a Russian nationalist, even if he, well, would really like to.
              Do you know why?
              You will not believe!
              For the very reason that if you do not know - Russia is a multinational state - currently numbering 194 nationalities and ethnic groups - one hundred ninety-four!
              What you can easily see by typing in a search engine, for example the phrase "How many nationalities in Russia."
              Based on this, the President of Russia can only be a Russian nationalist.
              And there is nothing wrong with that, with which I completely agree.
              The fascist VO “Freedom” proclaims the Nazi postulates of the superiority of one nation over others.

          MoloRussia? Then we can say Kievan Rus.

          I agree, but Kievan Rus is our common fatherland, our common past and our common pride ... The concept of Little Russia was formed in the 19th century .. when the name "Ukraine" was not used in the sense of designating any territory. In Russian, Ukraine is the inhabitants of border territories, i.e. in documents of the 15th and 16th centuries. we meet the concepts of Ryazan Ukrainians, Tver, etc. During the period of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the territories on the right stream of the Dnieper were called Lithuania, and the inhabitants of them called themselves Russian Orthodox people. There were seversk lands, etc. Muscovite Russia collected this mosaic then gradually, paying with the treasury and the blood of its soldiers.
          Undoubtedly, the middle and lower (often unregistered) layer of the Cossacks defended their privileges and, above all, the Orthodox faith in the struggle against the Polish magnates. because at 16, 17 century the gentry became insolent and began to forcibly demand the conversion of all the inhabitants of Unia to the Roman faith. The top of the ruling class (Pan Storozhevsky - Kiev voivode, etc.) repainted very quickly, but the bulk of the population was against it. In addition, the gentry did not consider the inhabitants of Russia as equitable, therefore, many bloody conflict situations arose.
          Here conditions objectively arose for the unification of the right-bank Russia with Moscow.
          At the expense of "enlightened" Europe. The Westerners, as noted here, have always been engaged in the fact that they were a source of cheap, low-skilled labor, and they are still proud of this. I have friends in Tartakov, and those who work as a plumber (illegally) in London are most popular there. At the same time, they earnestly believe that there can be nothing better in the world ...
          As for the other side of European life, we can confidently say that the old woman has long been in a deep crisis for a long time. She is saved by a neocolonial policy in relation to the so-called new Europeans, as this allows you to destroy the local economy and get free markets for their not-so-advanced technologies and goods. I know this not by hearsay, because worked for 10 years at the multinational company Siemens. This is if without details.

We ourselves chop the branch on which we sit. There will be no Ukraine, there will be no Russia. The Russian Empire will no longer exist, the train has left, the desire to recreate it will lead to a common misfortune. Take a look at what's happening in the world: China, the radicalization of Islam, and time is running out. And we all can’t figure out who is longer and thicker. Insanity and more.

        Hello comrades. I will introduce myself as follows in order to exclude certain questions specific to me: I am a citizen of the Russian Federation who currently lives in Kiev, because Ukraine is my homeland.

        minority for integration with the EU, majority for integration with Russia

        Not certainly in that way. I would say differently: many simply do not know. and most of them seem to me. What repels integration with the Russian Federation: heterogeneity of peoples and emigration from countries of Central Asia, i.e. Azeris, Tajiks, etc.
        It really does not suit many.

        the second is concerns for the banal buying up of the entire business in Ukraine. Those. oligarchs close to the government of the Russian Federation (pleasing to him) will buy up the remains of enterprises and, in fact, Ukraine will be left without production.

        This I said two aspects that I often hear. I objected a lot to these phobias in the sense that for Kiev personally it is normal to convert factories into shopping malls. This is me about the most powerful plant in its time "Bolshevik". So it is not yet clear which of the evils is the least.
        At the expense of emigration policy, I agree. One of the reasons that did not stay in Russia was precisely the oversaturation of society by immigrants from the Caucasus. Everything is much simpler here: there are very few of them, and if there are, then they are put in place quickly too.

        the only benefit to me from joining the EU or accepting an association is that it’s possible that car taxes will drop and it will be possible for 5 cu buy a beautiful behu in Germany and clear it for a penny))). Of course, I'm joking about the latter, because such trifles should in no way affect the erosion of one nation. This is my subjective opinion.

          I don’t see a problem with this, but this is an opinion, but the same businessmen will not leave these same enterprises for Russia, but will breathe new life. Moreover, with a scientific, technical and intellectual base, Ukraine would receive noticeable dividends from the rearmament of the Russian army. And at the expense of agricultural products it’s not possible to sell it like that in Europe, competitors will not strangle them sparingly, and the Russian market is not so aggressive yet, an example is the marketing of the same products by Belarusians. The main foreign trade partner of the organizations of the Ministry of Agriculture is the Russian Federation. According to Belstat, in 2012, products worth 2 billion 661 million US dollars were delivered to Russia (18,7% more than in 2011), the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of the country reports. In 2012, export of products to the CIS countries, except Russia, amounted to 160,6 million US dollars.

        Let me remind you that the hetman raised the Cossacks in rebellion in 1648 with the goal of upholding the liberties granted by the former kings of the Commonwealth.

        Sounds absurd. Many works have been written about the reasons for the uprising. It is a pity that the author is not familiar with any of them. If it is difficult to read historians, then one could read at least "Taras Bulba", the story is not about the times of Khmelnitsky, but Nalyvayko, but the reasons are similar. Some liberties were given by Vladislav, who owed the Sagaidachny Cossacks for the bloody campaign to Moscow, when Vladislav still claimed the Moscow throne.
        Quote: Author Yuri Gorodnenko, political scientist (Kiev)
        Warsaw and Moscow decided to simply agree, dividing Ukraine in half ... in 1667

        Well, not in half. From the Russian lands of Poland, the Russian kingdom only went to Poltava and Kiev region (also Smolensk and Chernihiv). Already Bogdan Khmelnitsky had begged Chernigov to the hetman, conquered by the Russian kingdom from Lithuania as early as 1500m, and withdrawn to Poland along the Deulinsky truce. Maybe all the lands would have gotten, but Vygovsky, having called the Turks and Poles, near Konotop, deprived Russia of such an opportunity.

        It is strange that the author writes about the Andrusovo truce, and not about the Eternal World of 1686. The interval between the dates is an entire era of Ruins, when Poland and Turkey agreed among themselves that the right-bank lands not left to the Russian kingdom should be wasted, when almost the entire population there was executed, driven into slavery, fled to free lands (i.e. not distributed) among the nobles and not used by the treasury) lands (where they settled with freedoms or settlements.)

        The second layer is the legacy of Catherine II. This is Southeastern Ukraine, which was formed due to the Novorossiysk Territory conquered from Turkey in the XNUMXth century and reorganized by the great Empress of Slobozhanshchina.

        Catherine reorganized a lot of things. Only Slobozhanschna existed long before. And it was Slobozhansky regiments that pacified all sorts of tensions in the Hetmanism under Peter and before. The very meaning of Slobodanism in the free lands between the divided in the kingdom and the Cossack. For example, under Paul there was just such a Sloboda Ukrainian province from Sumy, Akhtyrka, Bogodukhov, Kharkov to the Volga.

        Ukraine is part of Russia, the situation is as follows: part of the minority is for integration with the EU, the majority is for integration with Russia, and this is the minority that rules the ball so far.


        That's right, but this minority is more aggressive and more passionate, and the majority sits mostly and does nothing, they drive him into a geyropa and it is silent and goes on ... So if Ukraine goes into western flight, then it’s 100 percent sure that the people will not go up and will continue to listen to fairy tales. I don’t remember, in my opinion Wassermean said that only a couple of percent of the population is needed for the revolution, so it turns out that in Ukraine there are not a couple of percent who are ready to take to the streets and say resolutely NO !!!, dragging the country to the west. Honestly, I would really like to be mistaken and believe that you are right, but most likely Ukraine will go into the western orbit for a long time.

      Well, not really ... It’s just now that the time has come to a logical conclusion. It’s like in a street brawl. Let’s start to smoke, and then a blow to the nose. Anyway, anyway. Ukraine has cornered itself. Signing an agreement with The EU will cut off the country almost immediately from other Slavic and other countries. The talk about the united people will cease. And economic relations, in many respects too. Ukraine will become one of the foreign countries, and not the most necessary one.

      A month of analysis of relations between Russia and your republic is ahead! Ukraine is closer to us in all matters ...
      Crises in Europe, which means automatically both in our country ... and in Ukraine, will soon give Galicia, that is to say, Z. Ukraine, to understand that, to infinity, Eastern and Southern Ukraine will not just feed "Westerners" for their beautiful eyes and national spirit. ". After all, the industrialized East provides the bulk of the national product.
      And Yanukovych is "balancing" between these two opposite directions in the development of Ukraine because he does not have firm all-Ukrainian support in all strata of Ukrainian society. He is the choice of the eastern part of Ukraine. And today Yanukovych simply does not want a civil war ... he does not want a split in Ukraine ... he does not want to go down in history with the image of "Judas" Gorbachev, who destroyed the USSR. So he tries, like a "tender calf, to suck two cows" ... But every year it is more difficult to do this. Whether Ukraine wants it or not, it will have to make a choice.
      And the role of Putin should be persistently respectful, without signs of obvious pressure ... with an explanation of the position of our state. Rather, this is needed in order for the Ukrainian people to understand us and support the movement towards integration with Russia.

        Now hold a referendum in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus not 80%, the population spoke in favor of creating a single state.

        A bilateral meeting between Vladimir Putin and Viktor Yanukovych, negotiations of delegations took place, then the President of Russia met with the hierarchs of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate and presented them with state awards for their great contribution to the development of friendly relations between peoples and the strengthening of spiritual traditions. Putin also visited the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, where he visited the Assumption Cathedral. The head of the Russian state bowed to the Cross of St. Andrew the First-Called and laid flowers at the grave of Peter Stolypin.

        Talks of Putin and Yanukovych in a one-on-one format continued, as Ukrainian media testify, for hardly 15 minutes. As Vladimir Putin noted: ,, This is indeed our common big holiday, which reminds us of our spiritual unity, speaks of our common roots. It recalls that we did a lot in the previous centuries together and that together we achieved outstanding, without any exaggeration, results.

        If a politician won the elections, this does not mean at all that he expresses the will of the people. Those who have money win the elections (this form of government is called plutocracy - from the word "plutoc" - wealth). You have no money and you will not be a deputy, do you?

        Plutocracy (Greek: πλοῦτος - wealth, κράτος - government) - a form of government when government decisions are determined not only by the opinion of the whole people, but by an influential class of rich people, while there is deep social inequality and low social mobility. Plutocracy is a special case oligarchies - a regime in which real power is vested in a small circle of people (for example, the nobility, the military, the party elite or relatives of the ruler).

Tyagnibokovskaya "Svoboda" for this has already formed and prepared its military units, as in their time the OUN and UPA ... they will not wait for integration ... Or do you not know what days of the "orange maidan" more than a thousand militants from the West. Ukrainians sat on the entrances around the camp on the square and guarded the "people's initiative."
      That is why Kuchma was afraid to disperse them by force, although military units had already begun to move for this ... they were even already on the march to the Maidan. A certain Mr. LUTSENKO, in those days a "field commander", and then under Yushchenko - the Minister of Internal Affairs ... under Yanukovych - just a prisoner ...
      Everything is much more complicated and not so simple!

Both the EU and the CU do not want to, and cannot take on more Ukrainian problems, which means that they need to take a wait-and-see attitude and let Ukraine finally fall apart.

        It’s fraternal. Rights of the Romanovs, the Russians were tired of Ukrainian troubles. A couple of years ago, discussing the same issue, we would see a huge positive from the Russians. We believed that Ukraine is just like we are at a crossroads, but she will remain the sister of Russia. Now this faith is lost for many.
        And only brothers can talk about it openly. No one forces you to accept our point of view, but you’re tired of indulging the youngest in his whims. Adult people, independent, independent, so be responsible for your actions, for your decisions and your thoughts.

      , you need to take a wait and see attitude and let Ukraine finally fall apart.

      Not all judgments are unambiguous, but each is interesting in its own way!
      I propose to look at the problem from the perspective of a "projection of interests" of power centers in relation to Ukraine and the geopolitical realities of today. Dominant Power - USA. Other centers of influence: EU (Germany), China (APR — Japan), Russia. further Brazil and other regional leaders.
      For whom is Ukraine an apple of discord, an object of desire? In order.
      1. USA. They strive to dominate everywhere. But now the main aspirations are the Asia-Pacific region with the task of confronting the PRC and its growing ambitions as the No. 2 economic power with high growth rates. The second task is to prevent Russia from being reborn as a new superpower. What does Ukraine have to do with it? And here there are 2 scenarios for the development of events:
      A) Objective: To prevent the union of the Russian Federation and the PRC as a real threat to its world leadership. Solution to the problem. Make Ukraine a bargaining chip to distract the Russian Federation from an alliance with the Celestial Empire. Nationalist forces tear Ukraine into 3 units: Crimea - Turkey (Caliphate), West - Poland, East - Russia. It’s like a fee for not interfering with the Russian Federation in a showdown with China.
      B) Objective: To prevent the re-establishment of the Slavic Union (RF, Belarus, Ukraine). The states cannot afford this, because then the dream of world domination and a golden billion will come to an end. Therefore, they will in every way oppose this process, inciting ethnic hatred between our peoples, pushing Ukraine into the EU as the lesser of evils.
      2. EU. Expanding the zone of economic influence and markets for their goods. Ukraine is a new market. They will ruin the economy and sell their products and get cheap labor. The military organization represented by NATO will follow.
      3. Russia - Ukraine. We will try to tie the interests of our partners to our country by economic means. Place orders, provide a market for the sale of products, preferential prices for hydrocarbons. Support for pro-Russian forces, economic, political, military integration.
      Ukraine itself and its people in all cases will play a major role. But the aggravation of contradictions between factions and political forces can lead the country to a civil war or another color revolution.
      I would very much like to see the development of events under scenario No.3.

          Add also the fact that many in western Ukraine go to the EU to earn money and at the same time are registered as unemployed in Ukraine, thus receiving unemployment benefits and subsidies from the center for the development of the region. And unification with the Russian Federation is not at all profitable for them. At the same time, they somehow forgot about the Rusyns, who are already SO tired of "hefty svidomye" that they are ready even now to separate and join the Russian Federation. And if fragmentation begins, then the Hungarians living in that region will also not sit idly by, they will immediately reunite with their homeland, which, by the way, is trying to do a lot for them, although she herself is not delighted with joining the EU.
          If they sign an association with the EU, it will be a complete collapse of Ukraine. There are already so many demands that you can die rather than fulfill. however, our "elite" does not care.

    Ukraine will never fall apart. The author is wrong in this. She will obediently go where they show her more fat kalach. At the moment, this is the EU. There the Ukrainian state will go first. Besides, it’s not clear who will become the president of Ukraine after Yanukovych .I personally have fears that it will be someone from the liberal pro-Western layer. It’s painfully deep that infection has taken root in Ukraine. Yes and Yanukovych did not live up to anyone’s expectations. The chances of being re-elected from him are negligible. All of this unambiguously moves Ukraine into the European Union. Another the fact is that, having come to an economic collapse within the EU, and this is not inevitable, Ukraine will begin to drift towards Russia. And here a completely different game will go. And if the party is played correctly, this will lead to deep integration of Ukraine with Russia.

And for production we need Russian gas. So, cheap gas is sold over the hill, and expensive gas is allowed to the population, and so many more additives are taken in that it does not look like gas at all. Accordingly, the payment for gas is high, and all "because it is Russia that sells such expensive gas." this is how they restore people against Russia. even if the Russian Federation now reduces the cost of gas, the people will not feel it, but the oligarchs will rub their hands.

    In the articles of Ukrainian authors, Ukraine is always a victim. Yes, the people have suffered a lot. But! In 1992, this state had the best starting conditions. There was absolutely everything: the army and the navy, factories and factories, education, medicine ... The USSR made a huge gift to the Ukrainian people, collecting separate territories "in a heap", not to mention the Crimea. And how does it all end? Ukraine is essentially a state bankrupt. The culprit has been found in all that is happening - it is Russia. Naturally, integrating with such a bad neighbor is impossible by definition!

    Today it is difficult for a guarantor to decide who to be with for several reasons. Yanukovych has always positioned himself as a supporter of close relations with Russia, and so everything would have continued. But then take Yulia and sign gas contracts that are unprofitable for Ukraine. The result Julia is behind bars "a political heroine", and Russia is bad - she cheated Ukraine in the face of a naive kind woman. In order to neutralize political losses now it is necessary from time to time to flirt with the opposition and its electorate through European integration. Now everyone is waiting for how Europe will behave - whether the conclusion of a kind woman will become a precursor stone for signing agreements with Ukraine. If it does, then the choice will be small - only integration with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. If it does not, the situation will become more complicated, it will be necessary to further break the fifth point between Europe and the Customs Union. Who will be more accommodating to that chair and Yanukovych and change seats.

    Ukraine, to use chess terminology, is a "critical field" in the global endgame being played in the post-Soviet space. The one who takes it first will eventually (with the correct further play) win this grueling game.

    A mistake in this case is fraught with disaster for Russia. Let's not flatter ourselves and rely on the sanity of Germany. This is a predator. And a terrible predator. In this case, all information, economic, intelligence and military resources of Russia should be used to the maximum in order to resolve the Ukrainian issue once and for all. You can’t sleep peacefully with a ticking "hell machine" under your pillow!

    So far, Russia is only demonstrating half-measures (like Onishchenko) to tie Ukraine to Eurasian integration. Here, I think, tough, and maybe even brutal pressure on the Ukrainian political and economic elite is needed. As my aunt Ulya used to say from Melitopol: "If I’m a boy with a forelock, I’m curling my eyes, then my father can do it bald!" That is: "If the guy's forelock closes his eyes too much, then the father can shave his head!"

    The paradoxical situation is that in the West. Ukraine is losing the influence of nationalists (this part of Ukraine has already got drunk on promises of first national communists, then national democrats, national liberals and now Nazis in general), but the central and eastern regions are beginning to show interest in nationalism. This is determined by the fact that they consider "freedom" as a force capable of resisting (for radicalism) the thieves' limitlessness of oligarchs and officials.

    The peoples are not a homogeneous mass.
    A month ago I was in the Square. And he was rather surprised when in Kharkov, which he considered a "pro-Russian" city, he faced very different opinions about integration with Russia.
    The main reason, in my opinion, is not at all "It's not a secret that whole hordes of journalists, political scientists and other experts who have been raised on Western grants and, accordingly, biased, are working in the country.", there’s nothing to spit on the mirror .... The Kremlin is also to blame for a lot. They perfectly see the mess that was going on with us, and it’s happening. For a decade, the Kremlin did not need its own people, which is there, before compatriots.

    Not true. My brother and nephews and cousins, who were abandoned there during the Soviet Union, live in Ukraine, like many thousands of Russians (more than 20 million) .. Often I go there, they come to visit me, in general we communicate closely. Recently (two weeks ago), he returned from Ukraine, was a guest .. In the Kherson, Nikolaev Kiev region. I spoke with many Ukrainians closely, in close circles .. And they have great interest in Russia. And there is also a desire to reunite with Russia, so that we could travel freely here and here, so that our goods go without cardon and freely (without ripping off at posts, at least Russian. At least Ukrainian). So that officials, both Russian and Ukrainian (Police, traffic police, traffic police, emigration services), do not tear three skins from ordinary citizens of both countries. I tried it on myself. There DAI. Near the crossing, NOVOAZOVSK stops all cars with Russian numbers, and frankly demand bribes, threatening to pick up the rights (and they find the article right there), from me twice there and back .. My brother, after crossing the port of Caucasus, in the Temryuk area , GAI lured 15 thousand Russian rubles, allegedly for fines, threatening to take away the rights, and put the transport on a joke ... And there are thousands of them (I go and talk with drivers more than once) ... In general, the Ukrainian people, East, South, and Center of Ukraine , for reunification with Russia (NOT ACCOUNTING, people with factories, huge material wealth, and privileges are TE against .. For they are afraid of the same Russian structures that can deprive them) ... That is the main enemy of unity ..

The people are one thing, the people are mostly for an alliance with Russia, power is different, the oligarchs in power are not interested in an alliance with Russia, they have their own economic interests separate from the Russian oligarchs, and who wants to share power or lose profit. No matter how Russia in the person of Onishchenko tries to strangle Ukrainian exports, this is reflected specifically in people: production is falling, there are no salaries, and so on ... The media naturally portrays this as a trade war, where Ukraine will certainly lose, hence the conclusion - an ordinary Ukrainian looks at Russia and says: nifigas strangle us - it’s cheese, sugar, glass, sweets, metal, it’s not that way, direct sabotage against Russia is continuous ...

    ..... I liked the article, I do not agree with the author in everything, but historical analogies are given very accurately and in the case. I, in general, also for the integration of Ukraine with Russia (and my relatives live there). But by and large, in addition to family and historical ties, we-Russia win in any case.
    Ukraine will follow the path of European integration and the flag in its hands, its "European-loving" residents will master the labor market of Western Europe, they will fight for a workplace with migrant workers from Turkey and Tunisia, finally they will hear the forgotten, but see so much desired "Russisch Schweine" from their German "friends" (the funniest thing is that for a German, even an outrageous Russon-hater from the West is still Russisch Schweine, another reason to hate those damned to her). The industry of Ukraine will be destroyed, now it is mostly focused on export to Russia and the CIS, but in the EU, after all, you will have to adhere to safety and environmental standards, goodbye heavy metallurgy, goodbye blast furnace production, etc. True, my beloved plant will have to look for new suppliers of thin-walled small-diameter pipes, but we will support a domestic manufacturer from Cherepovets (now it is cheaper to buy in Ukraine). First of all, the military-industrial complex of Ukraine will bend. And the respected author of Kars, a connoisseur of tanks and armored personnel carriers, whose reasoned remarks I like to read on this site will no longer write about the successes of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine, and the formidable tank "Oplot" will have to be bought for a museum in Kubinka, otherwise it may not be enough due to the small number of samples released. The great thing is NATO standards, I just adore them, because they force Ukraine to abandon all its developments, stop the production of already developed weapons that do not fall under the standards, and buy "new" systems (as a rule, they have already served in the troops of NATO countries for more than one year , but tinted), well, so that it is better to fight shoulder to shoulder with NATO comrades. So in the event of such a denouement, we will lose another competitor in the arms sales markets. In addition, what if talented Ukrainian engineers want to continue their developments in Russia, we will accept them with open arms. Well, I will not talk about agriculture, they have already said above, potatoes from Portugal are already loaded into the cars ...
    ..... the fact that imported lard is a genocide of the Ukrainian people - I absolutely agree, it’s impossible not to mock so humanly ..... in general, Russia acquires something in this case.
    2. In the case of integration, we are also in pluses, but Ukraine retains its military-industrial complex, but ours gets a strong competitor in the domestic market, which will make our industrial "generals" move, or the brainy (don't be offended, this is not racism) will grab orders from our own MO and then hard workers will ask their bosses why we will eat for the next 5 years. Well, I will not write about the interconnection of industry either, it still exists (I gave the example of my plant) and with integration it will only increase, which will positively affect the development of the economies of both states. agriculture - here it is more difficult for Ukrainians to fear the Russian capital inflow, and in our Krasnoyarsk Territory, for 5 years already, grain harvests per hectare are 3-4 times more than in Soviet times - and the total volume is larger, and this is despite the difficult situation in the Russian countryside, well, everyone drinks, everyone is lazy, I'm just wondering where we get our own bread from (probably his kind Ukrainian brothers deliver to us free of charge at night). In general, and in this case, Russia will only be plus, the truth is much fatter than in the first scenario.
    As a result, it’s both good and not so bad, the Ukrainians themselves are the ones to guess. Guess the guys, GUESS. But for some reason, it seems to me that until absolutely everything falls apart they will not guess .......

    I would suggest the VO administration print this article, but what if that doesn't work out. In the article, you can leave only the numbers and it will be amazing. I repeat, in the USSR, donors (consumed less than they produced) were only Russia and Ukraine (this, as Ostap Bender said, is a medical fact, although the Baltic states lived better), and Ukraine produced more per person. Where is Ukraine now ?! I knew a lot about the industry of Ukraine, so where is it now ?! It's a shame. We razderbanil and Ukrainians noodles on the ears hang.

    The thousands that were sitting around the Maidan did not disappear. They sit for the time being. The oligarchs are rightly afraid, ours have become skilled and will be richer. Politicians on "feeding" - it is necessary to work out. "Janek" takes aim at the chairs, and will get the aim anyway.

    We are teaching Ukrainians life, and we have long since lost our food independence (in the sense that if we cut off food supplies from abroad in the Russian Federation, then we will begin hunger).
    In stores, finding domestic meat is a problem. Apples polish, Israeli carrot. If the potato is domestic, then it is necessarily sick, it does not lie for a long time.

    Probably S_mirnov lives in Moscow, but everything is basically ours. I buy meat at the market, like potatoes. And I assure you when selling these products by Azerbaijanis it doesn’t even smell.

    I was in Ukraine this summer.. I decided to take a car to see mother Russia and go to Crimea.. I drove 9000 km in Russia.. not a single “bastard” with a baton stopped me.. In (in) Ukraine it started with customs, the scam was grandmas from customs officers... coolies did not go in vain... they gave 3000 rubles per paw_ and without unnecessary formality - welcome to Ukraine.. The roads along the Azov region to Evpatoria, and from Evpatoria to Dnepropetrovsk (somewhere like that) it feels like they did even under the USSR... not completely destroyed... but thorough repairs along the entire length are already required. On the way out, by the way, Ukrainian customs officers got to the point of RUSSIAN Insurance... I had to give a case of beer... again with a whistle without inspection. Hell, the stripes on the roads are drawn in such a way as to confuse the brain... and I must say that the DAI of Ukraine succeeded because... where there are checkpoints, there are RUS numbers at the side of the road “they pay tribute.” In general, people are simple, good, 90% of the speech I hear is in Russian, although the accent (speak) is a little different. In Sevastopal I got into a conversation with a yachtsman - literally, “We’ve been speaking Russian all our lives, and we’ll continue to talk.” By the way, when I was in the Crimea, near Bakhchisarai, the CTO was carried out against radicals from the Crimean Tatars (I heard it on local TV)... I liked the price tags, the service was like everywhere else in the USSR, there were also plenty of hucksters... for a resort (Evpatoria) it’s a bit dirty and let’s be honest rather poor..- there is not enough investment. In general, the second time, I won’t go. I spent $14 in 2000 days in Ukraine, excluding Russia.

    Yuri Gorodnenko, a type of political scientist (like Kyiv). Gorodenko is probably making his nonsense about Russian grandees, who in Ukraine, under the roof of the FSB, are heard left and right. And the professional analysis of this unfortunate political scientist is visible in the text about Western Ukraine. This primitive, either from stupidity or ignorance, does not know that Western Ukraine has been the territory of Kiev since the time of Danylo-Galitsky, or in 1918 the first Ukrainian republic was from the Vistula to the Don (pick up the map of Ukraine in 1918). With such Kremlin lobbyists, more and more people in Ukraine are choosing the European vector.

    Here's another article about Putin's Zugzwang in Ukraine, by the way, Russian.
    Humiliation of Putin
    Moscow has nothing to respond to Kyiv’s European integration. If Russia starts a large-scale trade and economic war, Ukraine will strangle its Black Sea Fleet, just as it is already strangling peacekeepers in Transnistria. If Russia does not start a trade war, the same thing will happen. And this is not just a failure of the entire Kremlin policy in the post-Soviet space.



    The Ukrainian media are excitedly discussing the chocolate conflict between Kyiv and Moscow. This, of course, is important: the owner of the Roshen company, former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Petro Poroshenko, is considered one of the active lobbyists for signing the agreements on the Free Trade Area and the Association with the EU. True, Poroshenko may try to circumvent the ban on the supply of his products to Russia by increasing production at his factory in Lipetsk. But it’s unlikely that anyone will be very surprised if Russian inspectors find violations there too. Therefore, the message looks very symbolic: Roshen announced the start of production of chocolates in the European Union.

    Meanwhile, it is not sweets that are now the main thing in relations between Russia and Ukraine. And not the coming gas war (how many of them were there - so what?). And not even the obvious drift of the UOC from the MP with the already undisguised rapprochement of Metropolitan Vladimir with the schismatic Philaret and the amicable departure of this sweet couple under the omophorion of Constantinople.

    The main thing is that Kyiv, in agreement with the pro-Romanian leadership of Moldova, blocked Russian peacekeepers in Transnistria. This is important because it is a demonstration of the capabilities of one side and the lack thereof of the other. Ukraine closed its sky to Russia, preventing it from delivering any cargo not agreed upon with Chisinau to the PMR. Moreover, official representatives of Ukraine speak about this openly:

    “Rogozin promised that the Russian peacekeeping contingent would be modernized and rearmed. However, the first attempt to transport 7 helicopters to the MS base in Transnistria ended in failure - Chisinau said “no” and Kiev closed its territory to Russian transit, including the sky. This happened last year . Now the situation is repeating itself. Only this time Moscow did not share its plans with Chisinau. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet responded in any way to the statements of Moldovan officials. Ukraine, represented by Andrei Deschitsa, does not change its position: “We will open the border for Russian cargo if Moscow and Chisinau agree on this."

    Rosbalt has already written that, starting in 2015, the PMR will most likely be forced to join Moldova. Accordingly, we can already state now: Russia suffered a defeat on the Dniester, and this happened solely because of the position of Ukraine, which in 2006, under Yushchenko, in agreement with Brussels, blocked the borders of the PMR by introducing the EUBAM mission there. And Yanukovych, we note, did not unblock these borders. However, Ukraine’s cooperation with the EU and NATO, including on such sensitive issues, has only intensified under Yanukovych.

    Now let's imagine: what will happen to the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol if relations between Kyiv and Moscow continue to deteriorate? After all, Ukraine has already been preventing him from rearming for 15 years - and now there is such a conflict across the entire front of bilateral relations.

    To imagine the possible development of events, you don’t need to strain your imagination: it’s enough to remember how the Russian fleet lived in Sevastopol under Yushchenko. The Ukrainian authorities then not only refused Russia’s requests to allow new weapons and military equipment into the Black Sea Fleet base (this happened under Kuchma as well), but also blocked fuel supplies, arrested Russian sailors and officers on the streets of the “city of Russian glory” under false pretexts, and even seized military vehicles of the Black Sea Fleet, preventing the transfer of cargo from one military unit to another on the territory of Sevastopol.

      According to a source in the Kyiv newspaper Segodnya, Putin, while riding a yacht with Yanukovych along the Sevastopol Bay, offered to reduce the price of gas in exchange for permission to modernize the fleet.

      But what can Russia do in relations with Ukraine? Never mind. If Moscow has any real opportunities to force Kyiv to take into account its geopolitical interests, it is only military ones. But Putin is unlikely to dare to do this.

      This is precisely the secret of the confidence with which the Ukrainian elite refuses to make concessions to the Russian elite.

And in order to somehow distract the people, they will instill European values ​​in Ukraine: tolerance for blacks and Arabs, gay parades, same-sex marriage, etc. Prostitution will be legalized, as in Latvia. You don’t have to look far for examples; just look at the countries of Eastern Europe and the fragments of Yugoslavia. Of all, only the Czechs were able to save their face, but without the Slovaks.

    I am sure that Ukraine will not fall apart. I don't see any reason for this. Yes, the east of Ukraine is different from Galicia, but it is no less different from Russia. Rather, even more. And there is no pro-Russian lobby in Ukraine. There are several dozen people who advocate for a “united people” on the Internet, but this is not a mass phenomenon. These are units. And no one represents their interests among Ukrainian politicians. In Ukraine there are pro-Western politicians, there are just thieves and bandits, but there are no pro-Russian politicians.
    But Ukraine has no positive prospects. Joining the EU? This will never happen. Europe will not be able to cope with the problems of 11 million people in Greece, and especially no one will put 40 million people in Ukraine on its neck. Again, joining Europe does not give anything. Bulgaria joined, so what? Bulgarians are finally turning into a nation of emigrants, and the country has been rocked by popular protests for many years. Ukraine has the same prospects. This is despite the fact that Ukraine’s GDP per capita is half that of Bulgaria (and about five times less than that of Russia).
    I am confident that Ukraine will move along the path of Moldova. That is, do not join anyone, but simply experience deindustrialization, a mass exodus of the working population and a general decline in living standards. This is reality, and it is already in full swing. But I don’t believe in the collapse of Ukraine. I also don’t believe in its entry into the EU or joining Russia.
    I know very well that neither the “Imperials” nor the “Svidomites” will like my post. But I prefer to say what I think and know, and not what someone likes. We must live in a world of reality, and not in a world of delirium and fantasy.

    3 August 2013 18: 14
    I will add more.
    1) Dfor Svidomites. Official propaganda in Ukraine portrays the Association Agreement with the EU as a huge achievement and as the beginning of Ukraine's entry into the EU as a full member. But this is a lie designed for illiterate people. For example, Algeria, Tunisia, the Palestinian Authority and Lebanon, as well as some Latin American countries, have such an agreement with the EU. This agreement provides for cooperation in the field of science, education, culture, etc., but is not at all a vestibule for the European Union.
    Ukrainians are simply being brainwashed, trying to make them believe that someone will take Ukraine in tow, and that will be the end of their problems.
    2) For the Imperials. In Ukraine, very few people consider Russia as a country to look up to. There, many would rather unite with Turkey than with Russia. And this applies not only to Galicia. The east of Ukraine is also full of people for whom Russia is more of an enemy than a friend. And in the political elite of Ukraine no one is focused on Russia. And this is hardly accidental.
    ----------
    In Ukraine, a significant part of the population has a very weak idea of ​​Russia. I heard from those who were there, and I myself have been there. Many are sure that in Russia there are mass protests against the authorities everywhere, and there is hunger and devastation everywhere, except Moscow, and Siberia and the Far East are already populated by the Chinese, who have bought up all Russian large companies. And in general in Russia there are only Chinese all around, a Chinese person peeks out from behind every tree, or even two at once. I heard this myself from a Dnepropetrovsk lady who was last in Russia in the 80s. I am not greatly exaggerating her ideas about Russia. And she is not alone in her delirium. Propaganda skillfully drives this into their heads. And many Ukrainians so want to believe (they were brought up on this! Mom and Dad got it into their heads from childhood!) that pathetic, stupid, uncultured and always drunk Katsaps live much worse than them. After all, if this nonsense is removed from their national identity, then there will be nothing left there. Because there is nothing else there and never was. My old friend, whom I have known for more than 30 years, recently left Ukraine for permanent residence in Russia, and he confirmed the existence of such an idea about Russia in Ukraine.

    Good evening everyone!
    I can’t help but object to my fellow countrymen “Mikola” and “Ivan Sirko”. Dear ones, the overwhelming majority of patriots of the USSR, Russia and people with military service speak out here. They also speak out about our little Ukraine, since they see our “independence” from a distance of 500, 1.000, 3.000 and more km...
    For the most part, they write about our Ukrainian elite and without any expressed hatred towards us citizens of Ukraine, without distinction of our nationality and the region where we live or where we come from.
    The fact that our Russian brothers-in-arms do not always describe us beautifully is probably our share of the blame here.
    If, God forbid, WW3 begins, will the Russians, Belarusians or Kazakhs have a strong trust in us Ukrainian citizens?
    Will they not be afraid that we, Ukrainian citizens, will stab in the back at a critical moment? belay
    Regarding Ukraine itself, the situation is deplorable. In 21 years of independence, what can our country boast of? Do our citizens have jobs, decent pay, pensions, etc.?
    Just don’t brag about the standard of living and income of the “office plankton” and “universal managers” in large cities! sad There are many problems in Russia, but unlike expenses, it also has income, and it “sits on the oil and gas needle,” but its external debt is not growing (in my opinion, it has even gone to 0)! And Ukraine, without another loan, may default in a month or two! By the way, how will our Ukraine repay its debts?
    So I personally am afraid of what other forum members wrote here, as if in Ukraine, in 6-8 years "Caucasian wars" were not repeated, and this is a very real outcome.
    Moreover, they write about this not with joy, but with fears and regrets.
    And in the EU no one will give anything to Ukraine, they will only ruin and steal what is left! am
    In addition, if we Ukrainians were so loved in Brussels, then why would they have been putting more and more new conditions and demands on Ukraine for the past 20 years?

      I will answer a fellow countryman from Russia.
      Are you already preparing a third world war? Oh, you got a twist...
      Come down to Earth, now territory or minerals are taken by other methods. Russia, for example, voluntarily gives up oil and gas for dollars and is also happy that the external debt is not growing.
      If I’m not mistaken, our “economists”-surveyors have not been given loans for several years now. We live. There is lard (Ukrainian), there is vodka - what else is needed to calmly meet old age. drinks
      And regarding the remoteness of our friends, I will say the following: don’t watch Vitrenko and others like her - it’s bad for digestion. These are small marginal groups that have no influence on events in our country - they just work off Russian money. And, by the way, they work poorly , I wouldn't give them money.
      And one last thing. We don't need anyone to love us (I think you don't either).
      The main thing is not to interfere. We’ll get over it.
      P.S. I was born and live in Ukraine. I don’t feel any guilt.

    Good afternoon, dear fellow countryman Ivan!
    You all probably haven’t read much here on the site yet, if not, sorry!
    Regarding your comment: Are you already preparing a third world war? Oh, you got a twist...
    Read my other comments, where you found, that I am preparing the 3rd WW?
    You see, I have already expressed my fear more than once that, according to many signs, the 3rd WW may soon begin or is already flaring up with the Muslim intervention in Syria.
    Moreover, this is not my personal opinion, I only voiced the fears and warnings that old people here in Slovakia have been expressing since 2009 (70-90 years old) who still remember the first Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1939).
    They directly say what you young people are doing nothing, Don’t you see anything around you?
    After all in 3-5-8 years there will be fratricidal unrest or war!
    I'll describe the details. In 1929-1931, the 1st World War swept through Czechoslovakia. crisis, in 1933 in Germany the world financial system came to power. the elite brought Hitler to power and from 1937 (civil war in Spain) and from 1939 WW2 officially began (1939-1945)...
    This is just an excursion into history, since this light lady (history's) knows little new but likes to repeat himself. Therefore, it is very useful to know history, it will come in handy!
    Well, in the world, since 2009 (2007) the global financial crisis has continued without pauses or improvements (the so-called “improvements” for 2010-2011 were just a wish or a lie).
    Well, nothing helps solve the crisis problems of a developed western peace, what already several times tested remedy: starting a war, pitting competitors against each other and their mutual destruction, selling stale weapons and strengthening the shaky/or falling position of the “world master” “US power and Co.” am
    I personally will be very happy when in 8-10 years I can laugh with everyone else at empty fears older gray-haired people and their fear! sad
    But I am no longer 15 or 25, but over 50, and life has taught me that the predictions of people wise with life experience come true very often They were wrong in their statements only in small details...
    Personally, to you and everyone else here on the forum, I wish youso that you always have it on your table bread, lard or meat, onions and garlic and vodka or other alcoholic drink! drinks
    But look at the living conditions (or rather, how they survive) of most of the people around you in our Ukraine.
    Are you sure that tomorrow those angry hungry people around you who don’t have enough bread to buy, lost the roof over our heads, will they beg for something from the well-fed and satisfied?
    After all, they can simply with pitchforks and other improvised means demand: GIVE US, SHARE, well-fed bitch! am
    The police or the army will not protect everyone, and not everyone will have time to sit out over the hill. Besides, even here over the hill, the pressure will soon release the lid from the pan!
    I'm not interested in either Vitrenko is not watered by others. prostitutes and whores! They all row only for themselves, and in my opinion There are no government officials in Ukraine yet, who would care for the people, for their state for all citizens!
