How everything was pretty and touching was organized for the Euro - 2012 in Ukraine! The same Poles rushed to our fans, and the fraternal people showed warmth and hospitality to the whole world. A football holiday was held, consider, in our country, because the chicken is not a bird. It took a little time, and they have a fierce war. More precisely, it goes with us, because Ukraine is not abroad.
Some kind of curse hangs over a blooming country. Not for the first time in his stories her sons clashed in a bloody feud. Smoot, or ruin, if in the local manner. If in December I assessed the events in Ukraine as the ruin of "light" (for what seemed to be a bit of the pretending and local scale of the confrontation), now, of course, everything turned into a full-fledged 2.0 ruin.
As in that distemper-ruin, Ukraine is facing opposition to pro-Western and pro-Russian forces. Of the external players then our enemies were Turkey, Sweden, Poland and Lithuania and Rome looming behind them. Now the same Turkey, as well as Poles, Swedes and other “Baltic tigers” within the EU, are sickening the water in Ukraine, and especially in the Crimea. And because of the backstage "taxis" is not Catholic Rome, but Washington - what can you do, post-Christian civilization against our country. According to the head of the Swedish Foreign Ministry, Orthodoxy is the main threat to Western civilization. That is - Russia. Everything as usual.
In Ukraine, as in the 17th century, the local Russian population, in response to the threat of losing their identity and just living, are trying to create state entities. Then it was the Zaporizhzhya Sich, and today it is the DNI and the LC, only with local features. If on the territory of big Russia during the period of external threat, the population quickly rallied into a monolith, and the single strong power played a cementing role, then the inculcated Western "democratic values" on the territory of "Nezalezhnoy" led and lead to the fact that there are two Cossacks - three chieftains. Often, in a separate city or even a village there is a chieftain, or Cossack foreman, or, in a modern way, the militia commander and the people's mayor. The lack of unity of command and coordination, to put it mildly, greatly complicates the task of countering the enemy.
Opposing this part of the Russian people are territorial structures such as the half of Ukraine, headed by its Gauleiter Poroshenko, and the patrimony of the modern and mutated Yankel, who, as a zealous owner, seeks to grab what he thinks lies badly. So far, I must admit, he does it well. These lands are more often called “kaganat”. There is also a placer of magnates, gentry and Cossack elite (local “elite”, as it were), each of which has its own small army consisting of mercenaries, criminals and other trash.
As in the first ruin, the “cream of society” is aimed at an alliance with the West, and a significant part of the lower-level Cossacks (soldiers and officers) are pro-Russian or do not show a great desire to fight for the selfish ideals of “as if the rulers” of Ukraine.
Based on the historical Ukrainian experience, one can expect amazing alliances, betrayals and transitions to the side of the enemy by individual commanders and entire armies, tycoons-oligarchs and ordinary foot soldiers. Everything will depend on the specific situation on the front, problems with supplies and banal bribery. This is where the open field for the work of the special services is - recruit, recruit. Tens, hundreds of players, and everyone is his own master.
From the Cossack state (New Russia) leaves the local civilian population. Those who are alien to “Ukraine ponad use” and who do not want to ride like Moskal, on the one hand, and on the other, have no desire to get up from weapons in the hands against the enemy.
We can blame them, blame them, but many of them have families, children, and the desire for a peaceful, peaceful life outweighs the obligation to protect their home from invasion. I do not want to condemn them.
The same subpassionaries on the other front line are hiding from the call for a war they don’t need, and their mothers and wives are blocking the roads, not wanting to receive funerals in the near future. They are increasingly thinking about leaving this once flourishing country.
In the Cossacks-Novorossia comes another nation. Those who are used to worrying about our people on the front line, and not on the TV screens during a football match. Of course, the two opposing streams are disproportionate, but, frankly, such a number of people in the Donbass are no longer necessary for current economic activities, and may soon become a serious burden for defense. Better to us, to the rear.
It is unlikely that it will be possible to build cars under bullets, to smelt metal under bombs, to transport cargo through destroyed railway bridges. To take credit for the modernization of production and to set up production of new products in the conditions of war - this is from the realm of fantasy. Not soon now, the residents of Donetsk will enjoy the fints of the “Brazilian miners”; employees of beauty salons, travel agencies, car dealerships, and so on, are not out of business.
The life of people is becoming more and more simple, and soon it can be compared with the conditions of life in the Middle Ages, and not with our usual era of consumption. With the inevitable rupture of all economic chains and the massive closure of industries, fewer and fewer people will be able to feed themselves on this land.
The same goes for the opposite side. Throwing all the forces and means into the crucible of war with the industrial center of their country and leading the "ingenious" management of their economies, "as if the authorities" of Ukraine "shake" the territory entrusted to them even earlier than bombs and missiles would destroy the Donbass.
How would this “simplification of economic and economic relations” not cast aside the country in the Stone Age! .. It seems that those who brewed all this mess, would not mind if the territory of Ukraine resembled a solid decoration of a post-apocalyptic film.
Tesnaya Ukriyei Novorossiya calls for help to Russia, but, as in the XVII century, Russia is far from immediately openly going to help.
Almost literal quote from a school history textbook: “B. Khmelnitsky repeatedly appealed to the Russian Tsar with a request for help and a military alliance, but Aleksei Mikhailovich was well aware that this would lead to a full-scale war with a strong Poland then, moreover, the Russian state itself did not fully recover from the recent turmoil ... "
In this quotation, it is only necessary to write “president” instead of the word “king”, and instead of “Poland” to put “NATO”.
But we remember that at the decisive and critical moment, Moscow came to the aid of the Cossacks, and as a result, it joined the first fully pro-Russian Left Bank, and then, after the Poles with the Turks under their own alternate control virtually destroyed the right bank, these lands too They came to us so that Russia had something to restore from the ruins.
I am sure that something similar will happen in the very near future: our enemies will destroy everything in Ukraine, what they will reach, then, when a favorable foreign policy situation comes, a long-awaited reunion will occur. Only now such a prospect is unlikely to become a strong consolation to the residents of Slavyansk who have remained in the city, where punitives for many months of helplessness against the militia come to light.
PS I don’t want to think about it, but lately, analogies not with the history of Ukraine, but more recently the events in the former Yugoslavia, when the local leader S. Milosevic first passed on his compatriots, formally foreigners, first in Serb Krajina, then in autonomy in his state, then deservedly lost the support of his own people, power, freedom and, finally, his own life. And the federation entrusted to him ordered to live long. Now the fragments of his country are ruled by traitors and consents. I hope our president has a solid "five" in history ...
