On the Maidan had fun, while the Crimea did not lose
Those who seized power in Kiev by force are themselves to blame for what is happening. Instead of trying to start a dialogue with the South-Eastern regions of the country, they first began to avenge all political opponents who were not afraid of their militants, law enforcement officers who refused to kneel for the execution of the debt in front of the raging crowd, demolish monuments and even tried to encroach on Russian . And all this alternately with the division of portfolios. Judging by the speeches of some politicians on the last Sunday’s “Veche” on Maidan, they still didn’t realize anything ... They now call protesters in the South and East of the country pro-Russian extremists who came from Russia. It is even incomprehensible, they say this only to set up a crowd against terrible “separatists from Russia” or do they sincerely believe in this nonsense?
The first tough position demonstrated Sevastopol, gathering the most numerous anti-fascist rally in recent times, where a new mayor was chosen. It was Sevastopol who first openly went against the authorities in Kiev (and not Kharkov as expected) and decided to block the roads to the city in order to protect themselves from the aggressive representatives of neo-fascists from Western Ukraine, who had recently occupied Kiev. The power of the ARC was initially set to reconcile with Kiev, although it understood all the threats of this.
After the former opposition saddled Rada in Kiev, again from nowhere in the Crimea, the Majlis decided to ascend, who insidiously waited for the right moment and began to issue ultimatums. Judging by the mood of the leaders of this organization who are loyal to the neo-fascists, on the horizon, the power and “Crimean Tatar autonomy” were clearly visible to them. It should be noted that this group can not represent the interests of all the Crimean Tatars and does not enjoy the support of an absolute majority of them.
After the Мед Mejlis rally ’of 23 February, where 3-5 of thousands of Crimean Tatars and their ultimatums gathered, the Crimean authorities finally began to realize the need for self-defense of the peninsula from external and internal destructive factors and began to form popular forces. At the meeting of the Crimean parliament 26 February two questions were to be considered: about the socio-political situation in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the report of the autonomy government. Despite the relatively harmless topic, the Mejlis and the Russian organizations saw this as an attempt to separate Crimea from Ukraine. True, some gathered to support the decision - others to disrupt the session.
Russian activists defended at the central entrance to parliament, but were surrounded by radical-minded extremists who tried to force them out and disrupt the meeting. Despite the Sevastopol reinforcements that came to their rescue, the Russians simply were driven out due to an incorrectly occupied position. There was a crush. On the part of the Crimean Tatars used cartridges with gas. The police were unable to effectively intervene in the situation. The Crimean "Berkut" would have coped with the aggressive protesters without problems, however this unit was officially disbanded on that day by the order of Arsen Avakov, although the Crimean "Berkut" barricaded itself on Monday, refusing to surrender weapon. When the Mejlis people burst into the building of the Supreme Council, the head of the Mejlis Refat Chubarov himself triumphantly assured the crowd that they had achieved their goal - the meeting was disrupted and urged everyone to disperse. But, as it turned out, to win the battle is not to win the war ...
Closer to the night after the lightning disappearance of Tatars from the city center, Russian-speaking people began to prepare for the defense of the building of the Supreme Soviet and began to build barricades ...
In the 3-5 hours of the night of February 27, small armed groups of 30-50 people without a fight, under the approval of the protesters, entered the Council of Ministers building and the Supreme Council. They did not have sticks, "Molotov cocktails", stones and other attributes of the "peaceful" Maidan .... But there were machine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles and grenade launchers ... Based on recent events in Ukraine, it was the most polite and calm capture. It should be so.
On the same day, the "Berkut" and armed self-defense took control of the entrances to the Crimea, the airport of Simferopol. Despite the cordoning of the city center, thousands of Russian supporters began to erupt directly to the buildings. And this despite the hysteria of Kiev "terrible" armed people inside the buildings themselves. Everyone knew - this is salvation.
And now it is worth to understand. From whom did Russia save the Crimeans? The central Ukrainian TV channels under the pressure of censorship were simply perplexed, saying that no Bandera in the Crimea were not outraged. However, they have forgotten that the Crimea has already received threats from neo-Nazis who staged pogroms on the South-East of Ukraine.
In fact, from the very beginning there were two threats: internal and external. The zazombated supporters of education, which has all the signs of an organized criminal group, the Mejlis, who went for the force option, represented an internal threat to the residents of the Crimea. The external threat was represented by the militants of the Right Sector. However, the first threat is capable of negotiating (which is happening now), but the second one is represented by neo-Nazis, who lost their fear against the background of anger and financial interest, and most of their human qualities. In principle, this is not surprising given that the leadership of the Right Sector rejects the ideas of humanism and considers them "harmful."
The Crimean government simply could not protect the Crimean people from adverse consequences. Kiev putschists would quickly put their people to the security forces and, without hesitation, would send the current leaders and all opponents of the Maidan to prison. This is where the Green Men came on the scene.
In fact, Crimea was Putin’s response to the West for a forceful seizure of power during the Olympics. Of course, one can argue about the extent of Russia's participation, but it’s clear that without a friendly hand of help from a superpower that slapped the Kiev authorities, the South-East of the country could simply sink into the depths of the Bandera dictatorship. Speaking objectively, Putin had a definite plan. Apparently, he began to develop after the escape of Yanukovych from Kiev 21 February. Serious flaws are visible on the part of the dialogue with the Ukrainian military and the requirements to give the oath to the Crimean people. Here it was worth considering that the oath for the military is sacred and is given only once and clearly not at gunpoint of foreign soldiers in the ultimatum form. Roughly worked ... Although the soldiers themselves do not see each other as an enemy.
Ukrainian military is also not a gift. Indeed, in conditions when the power in Kiev is illegitimate and the commanders-in-chief in Ukraine are as many as two, the army had to declare that it remained out of politics, and not repeat, that it was subordinate to Kiev.
However, with grief in half Crimeans managed to defend their right to self-determination. 16 March will be a referendum, the results of which are obvious to any skeptics. No matter how hard the illegitimate Ukrainian leadership stomped on it, the referendum will take place.
Given the current state of the Ukrainian army, no military operation on its part against the Crimea and Russia is simply impossible. When trying to arrange an armed provocation, Russian Tanks, for sure, in a matter of days will be under Kiev. Then the new illegitimate government will be faced with the only question: the preservation of its influence in Western Ukraine. Although the western neighbors have long been looking at the western Ukrainian regions. Poland itself, which is so passionately supportive of the new regime, will not itself refuse to annex a number of regions of present-day Ukraine.
The number of Russian military on the territory of the freedom-loving peninsula continues to increase. For example, only on March 13 in the Cossack Bay with ships of the Black Sea and Baltic fleet The Russian Federation unloaded 420 military personnel, 9 KamAZ vehicles, 13 Ural vehicles, 15 command and staff vehicles. The total number of Russian military in Crimea already exceeds 19, of which 000 are special forces. Artillery systems, multiple launch rocket systems and heavy equipment are located along the borders of the Crimea and are ready to repel any attack. Land borders of the newly formed independent state are mined.
The total number of Russian military, ready to rise to the battle on the border of Russia and Ukraine (including those that are in the Crimea) is 220 000. Also near Ukraine are concentrated 1800 tanks, more 400 helicopters, 150 aircraft and 60 ships. Of the 41 000 soldiers of the ground forces of Ukraine in fact were only 6000 ready. This is despite the fact that in peacetime, at least 20 thousands should be ready. By the way, this is the data of the newly appointed Minister of Defense of Ukraine Igor Tenyukh. And at the same time, he declares his intention to "knock out these (obscene word) from the Crimea" ... I wonder what?
By the way, the hopes of supporters of the current government in NATO are absolutely groundless. The main horror story - the American carrier group in the Mediterranean Sea simply does not have the right to enter the Black Sea. It should be noted that the total tonnage of a squadron of warships of non-Black Sea countries located in the Black Sea should not exceed 45 000 tons. At the same time, it is forbidden to enter the Black Sea water area for aircraft carriers and submarines of those countries that do not have direct access to it. The displacement of the CVN-77 "George Bush" is 97 thousand tons. Those. the only thing that the United States can do is alternately drive the dancers of destroyers and cruisers around the Crimea (no more than 4's at the same time). True, and they are not always lucky ... Sometimes they find their stranded ... Yes, and the cruiser "Moscow" is able to send to the bottom of any AUG in one volley at a distance of 700 km from itself ...
However, the main thing is not it! Just an axiom can be considered the impossibility of any direct confrontation between NATO and Russia in the non-nuclear plane. Well, Obama is hardly happy with the prospect of a global cold snap due to the Crimea or even the whole of Ukraine ...
Russia often hears accusations from other regions of Ukraine, which are not ready to put up with the legalization of neo-Nazism and the flouting of all the cultural values of millions of people. They have already begun repression on a political basis. Here it is worth only hoping that Russia will not give their fate into the hands of the regime in Kiev. There is a large share of the likelihood that after solving the Crimean issue, “green men” will begin to appear in all areas of the Southeast. That's when Bandera come in handy for those caches, which they probably dig more and more intensively with each Russian exercise. The ban on the celebration of the Day of Kherson liberation from the fascists, the adoption of strange decisions first of all (like the decree number 4176 - the draft law on the abolition of responsibility for denying or justifying the crimes of fascism), the legalization of the neo-fascists of the “Right Sector” and “Maidan’s self-defense” as part of the National Guard with their subsequent armament - all this only shows that no conclusions have been made and the current government is mainly the enemy to himself. With such rates, Kherson and other cities of the Southeast, and maybe even Kiev, will soon be celebrating the liberation from the fascist occupation twice a year ...
Actually, the Crimea can say thanks to Maidan for the realization of the long-standing hopes of the majority of the inhabitants of the peninsula. There will be no going back. Looking at Putin’s public statements, you begin to understand that with illegitimate power he is not considered at all. Just as half of Ukraine itself. Crimea will still be part of Russia. American and European sanctions in pursuit of an angry bear look a little pathetic and rather justifiable in relation to their powerlessness in this situation. Nevertheless, for the time being, the West has actually gained control over the whole of mainland Ukraine (for what is it such a punishment?). If the regions do not continue resistance, and Russia does not support him, then it is likely to get NATO bases right along the Russian-Ukrainian border. In this situation, we can only say that the last word is still not beyond Kiev, which relies mainly on the combat potential of neo-Nazi militants. The last word is for those who are ready to uphold the right to life and freedom in their homeland.
