Maidan is not the same ...
The fact that the ghost of the Maidan now and then snares in the center of Kiev, recalled Thursday evening 22 May. This time, protest action in the capital of Ukraine was decided to be organized by activists of the so-called “financial Maidan” (FM), who gathered at first “peacefully” and quite routinely by Ukrainian standards to burn half a dozen tires in front of the Verkhovna Rada building, and then, as if not satisfied with the effect, tune in to the "assault" of the building.
The protesters were not satisfied, as it were, because the police officers with fire extinguishers jumped to the “stack” of burning tires, and the fire was quickly extinguished. Same in February 2014, police officers were not allowed to extinguish Maidan’s lights, and in May 2015 was completely different - in May, 2015 can even be rubbed with rubber batons lightly (very slightly) on the backs of financial maydanovtsy. Now, the Kiev police can be, because behind it is one of the main democrats of all Ukraine, Mr. Avakov. And Mr. Avakov, who concurrently is one of the richest people in Ukraine (apparently, the good now in the MIA "independent" bonus ...) does not at all like being close to his apartments and very close to the place of work of his chief advisers (Mr. on Gerashchenko, for example) make revolution fires without his knowledge. Without it? ..
In general, the Kiev policemen put out the burning tires, but the activists of the “financial Maidan” from such actions of the law enforcement officers dispersed in earnest. The first bottles flew in the law enforcement officers (not with an incendiary mixture, however, with water, not glass, but plastic), and the most active group broke into the parliament building and hung a poster reading “In Ukraine, the only source of power is the people” and "The people of Ukraine for the law 1558-1" (restructuring of loans in foreign currency). Other activists have blocked exits from the Verkhovna Rada, urging deputies to take up real lawmaking in the field of reforming the country's economy. As if calling ...
And everything seems to be “correct” in the Maidan, and collisions with the police, and bottles, and slogans, and pickets near the Rada building, and breakthroughs in these very buildings, and even tires, are “correct”, but the feeling that something in this "financial Independence" is not enough. What? Apparently, it is not enough finance ... No one of the “good fairies” from Washington, who would approach the protesters and hand over cookies, pat them on the shoulder, look into the eyes. There is no “good fairy” who would arm an army of disgruntled people brought by diplomatic mail to Borispol airport, feed everyone with maydanny porridge, and give drink to maydanny tea, afterwards giving the order to hammer out sniper rifles. There is no “wizard” who shot all this action from the top floor window onto an iPhone, and then shared on social networks “the victory of democracy in a single country”. Well, no them ...
More precisely, they are, but only with cookies in this case, the real seams. They are not in store for those who are engaged in criticism of the current Ukrainian authorities. And in this case, the “financial maidan” itself turns into a circus tent, which tours and, if necessary, gives an idea necessary to confirm the arrival of Ukraine to the camp of states with immutable democratic aspiration. Gives presentations on more modest "donations" than those who received themselves representatives of the current government.
Like, take a look: we have such freedom that everyone can pick up and burn a tire from the walls of parliament, but only for a short time and so that a policeman standing nearby with a fire extinguisher accidentally in the hands extinguishes this tire ... can throw a bottle at this policeman, but only a small one, plastic and half empty ... We have such freedom that a person five "protesters" with a rag poster telling about the power of the people may end up in the walls of parliament, and for them nothing will happen, especially consider that t the fact that among the broken "simple people of Kiev" are people who are assistants of the very deputies to whom they "broke through" ...
No, there were glass bottles too, but only they remained a circus props ...
It is interesting that on the day of the “breakthrough” in the IUU building “by chance” there was a record attendance since the beginning of the year. About 350 parliamentarians were registered, although in recent days the number of registered members barely reached 280. Apparently, the circus tent allowed more and PR with statements of support for the aspirations of citizens. Although the deputies clearly considered the opportunity to simply pose against the background of a poster stating that the people of Ukraine are the only source of power.
In general, financial and Maidan Maidan financed - sometimes it is very close, and sometimes the whole gulf between them ...
