New Russia: seriously or not?
Last time I became ill with understanding. Poorly understood what is happening in the south-east of Ukraine. It creates a feeling of a political game, and, if it is more or less clear with the participants of this game, then the goals and the meaning are not very good.
Leaders of the national resistance in the south-east of Ukraine 24 May at the congress announced the creation of a socio-political association "Popular Front". The congress was attended by 145 delegates from 8 areas.
According to the organizers, the United National Front will operate in the south-east of Ukraine and will unite supporters of federalization from all regions of the country.
Eight people will represent eight regions of Ukraine:
- Donetsk region - the head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin;
- Lugansk region - the head of the Lugansk People’s Republic Valery Bolotov;
- Dnipropetrovsk region - the leader of the movement "South-East" Oleg Tsarev;
- Zaporozhye region - the leader of the "Slavic Guard" Vladimir Rogov;
- Kharkiv region - activist of the "Kharkiv militia" Konstantin Dolgov;
- Odessa region - the leader of the Rodina party, Igor Markov;
- Nikolaev region - Yuri Barbashev;
- Kherson region - Victor Zolotnyuk.
The list is puzzling. Who are these people? Questions are not only the first three. And if I personally understand everything with Bolotov and Pushilin, then here is the eternal deputy Tsarev ... I do not know. It does not cause much confidence - as a person who “changed his shoes” so many times, if one applies Ukrainian terminology.
The Popular Front was created to protect the civilian population from Nazi gangs funded by oligarchs and foreign intelligence agencies for self-determination and self-organization in order to solve social problems of poverty and unemployment, as well as to strengthen ties with Russia, ”the manifesto said.
The front is open to broad cooperation with political parties, social movements, non-governmental organizations - all who are ready to resist "the self-styled Kiev authorities, who have unleashed a war against their people," the document says.
According to the "people's governor" of the Donetsk region Pavel Gubarev, the entry of another six regions of Ukraine is planned in the new state: Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Odessa, Nikolaev, Kharkov and Kherson. The separation of these regions will be held in the same way as in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions - through referendums, Gubarev said.
According to Gubarev, Novorossia is also ready to recognize the results of the presidential elections in Ukraine only if Kiev recognizes the independence of the republics of Donbass.
Plans, of course, not just aggressive. Especially, if we take into account what is happening in the same Zaporizhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. And there, according to available information, does not happen ANYTHING. Life goes on, people work, get paid, participate in elections. No rallies, no shares. No riots and fights. Peace and quiet. Approximately the same situation in other areas. Naturally, except for Donetsk and Lugansk.
So what kind of referendums are you talking about? Or do the deputies of the congress have a few more riflemen who will take upon themselves the distraction of the forces of the Kiev authorities? More than doubtful.
Kharkiv and Odessa should not be considered. Odessa will not soon be able to recover from May 2. Kharkov ... Anyone who could do the organization there, mostly sit. Chosen from Kharkov K. Dolgov does not appear in Kharkov. To avoid.
So who and how will hold these referendums? And for whom? Everything is doubtful in terms of implementation.
Gubarev's statement on the recognition of the presidential elections in Ukraine in exchange for the recognition of Novorossia is generally a masterpiece. And the point is not that Kiev never recognizes Novorossia. And the fact that at the very beginning of the Novorossiysk are ready to bargain with Kiev. And in vain. Apparently, little of Odessa and Slavyansk.
A strange feeling is caused by these activities. Manifesto, demanding the withdrawal of troops from Kiev and the end of the war - what is it like? Any normal person understands that if something changes, it can’t be for the better. Say, politics? International standards? Well, as it were already observed, where Kiev saw these norms and requirements. And it is stupid to expect that Poroshenko, appointed by President Poroshenko, suddenly follow them.
It doesn't look serious. And all would be nothing, Tsarev had not played enough in his own importance - and God be with him. Let him have fun writing memoranda and other meaningless pieces of paper. But while in Donetsk “deputies” are gathering from “anti-Kiev forces”, including from Slavyansk, surrounded by a triple ring of ATO forces (according to a story from Slavyansk), in the same Slavyansk people die under bullets and shells .
But, apparently, to speculate about the referendum in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Odessa, Mykolayiv, Kharkiv and Kherson regions is more important than creating for example an army capable of stopping the war.
