Ukrainian revolution rotting on the vine? (Dagbladet, Norway)


Is another Ukrainian revolution rotting in the bud? Something points to that.

Last week, Ukraine acquired a new government. The main reason for its appearance is the requirement of the International Monetary Font (IMF). The Fund demands that Ukraine implement economic reforms and demonstrate that it is ready to break with corruption. It took new brooms to stop payments from the IMF in the amount of 17,5 billions of dollars. Should the state apparatus still remain inactive, or was it necessary to change something?

The question was as obvious as it could be. Ukraine has changed the government. The politician-reformer and hero of the 2014 revolution of the year, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, was replaced by the most loyal person to President Petro Poroshenko - Vladimir Groisman. This means that all power is now concentrated in the hands of Poroshenko. And where Yatsenyuk had his own voice and his own authority as a politician-reformer, Groysman is no more than the continuation of Poroshenko’s hand.

Probably, the change of the government and the basics of its activities satisfied the IMF, which should take seriously the assurances of the new government in reforms and the fight against corruption. But how much can you believe the spells that we hear and see? “I understand what threats we face. Especially I would like to highlight three of them: corruption, poor governance and populism, ”said Groisman, when his government received the necessary majority of April 14.

But making a diagnosis is one thing. Another thing - to overcome the disease, using the necessary and most radical medicines. The first government Poroshenko said the same thing that says now Groisman. But is there any reason to believe that this government will be more sincere in its desire to defeat corruption? In February, the Minister of Economic Development, Aivaras Abromavičius, resigned from his post in protest, as he formulated it, of corrupt people who were hindering the implementation of reforms in his ministry. He hung a bell on the cat, saying that the corrupt official Igor Kononenko does not allow him to work. Kononenko is not someone who anyhow, but the gray cardinal of the Poroshenko regime who pulls the strings and contacts the richest oligarchs in the country.

And the biggest structural problem of Ukraine is the Ukrainian oligarchs. They bought political power by placing in the parliament and the government apparatus people who are more loyal to them than to the party they are supposed to represent. In particular, they openly say that two of the most important Ukrainian oligarchs, Renat Akhmetov, whose center of power is in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, and who bought and paid for President Viktor Yanukovych, who was toppled into the 2014 revolution of the year, and Igor Kolomoysky, who funds the armies fighting with the pro-Russian rebels in the east of the country — both of them “approved” the change of government last week. That is, both oligarchs, each of whom is on his side in the outbreak of a brutal civil war, have - thanks to their money and connections - a decisive influence in the new government.

Of course, it is unpleasant. But the most unpleasant is the feeling that you have already seen it. The reform regime, which, after a popular uprising and revolution, froze, faced with Ukrainian reality. Because this is exactly what happened after the Orange Revolution in 2004. Then, the hero of the revolution, Viktor Yushchenko, was elected president - on the wave of the reform program, as now, who received EU support.

But corrupt officials, politicians and the president, who was lost in himself and, in particular, defamed journalists who wrote about his corrupt son, led to the fact that many of the democratic gains of the Orange Revolution were lost rather quickly.

Ukraine is a country with a difficult history. Problems and contradictions stand here literally in the queue one after another. There are many signs that Ukraine after the 2014 revolution of the year is similar to Ukraine after the 2004 revolution of the year. At first there were great national expectations of real and radical change.
But the old political structures strangled for power and denied the people the reforms that they demanded and dreamed of. Because it was about the same thing during both revolutions: the people demanded comprehensive reforms and the fight against corrupt government. And if the current transfer of power from Yatsenyuk to Groysman is a kind of repetition of what happened after the Orange Revolution, it means another misfortune for Ukraine, such a politically complex country.

            Rural residents with their subsistence farming were never, on their own, the historical cause of the emergence of the state and nation, as such, i.e. they were never, by their very nature, mentally “statesmen” in the full sense of the word. They have a small-town, egocentric scale of self-organization of society and personal freedom - and nothing more. Those. by their nature in the sense of statehood, they historically were originally ANARCHISTS - they do not recognize any authority over themselves.
            Historically, the state appears when city dwellers appear with their industrial crafts, i.e. when there is a market between town and country with the exchange of commodity products and the expansion of economic ties between geographic regions. In other words, for the emergence of a state, the rural population refers to the urban population as “necessary” to “sufficient” according to the dialectical principle of the unity of “necessary” and “sufficient”. Hence the difference in their mentality.
            As a result of all this, at the time of the shattering of power within the country, revolts give rise to villages, and the urban population of the revolution.
            Therefore, if the driving forces on the Maidan were the rural small-town population - zapadentsy - then expect from it only a dull and stubborn small-town ethno-nationalism in the form of ethno-fascism and even greater chaos in the country. But chaos is only a zero reference point for transferring power from one hand to another.
            The Russian population in Ukraine, committed to the centuries-old Russian statehood and from this a law-abiding population, as such, is only capable of restoring the sovereignty of Ukraine in a normal way - namely, as a MULTINATIONAL state.
            That is why the primary task of the United States as an external aggressor in Ukraine is to "clean up" the entire territory of Ukraine from the ethnic-Russian population oriented to Russia as an example of statehood and the Russian nation.
            With this - mind you! - And the erasure of the cities of Ukraine from the face of the Earth also fits into this strategy of aggression of an external enemy against Ukraine to seize its territory and reformat its statehood into NON-STATE and then into a colony of another foreign state.
            And this launch of frenzied Russophobia will be launched in Ukraine as many times as an external invader - the United States - will need to clean Ukraine from all of the above historical social preconditions to defend its true Ukraine in its irreversible colony.

        They, the Kiev authorities, have no main thing - prospects and "carrots" for the people. There is no first, because The EU does not shine. If they give a visa-free space, the "second Baltic" will begin - an outflow of the population, but with the economy it is clear. And with "gingerbread" it is also clear - there is no money, there are no growth points for the economy either. And even on the contrary - the rise in prices for housing and communal services, prices for fuels and lubricants, inflation and the hryvnia exchange rate will fall. The printing press will no longer give at least some momentary respite - foreign markets have all narrowed, the EU with its meager quotas, and the Russian Federation is closing. And what reforms will help in such conditions? People do not have the money to introduce any other taxes. Kolomoisky "milk" Groisman's guts are thin. The layoffs will only pump up the "protest electorate." In an amicable way, it is necessary to restart the industry, but where to sell the products, if all the markets themselves have been cut off. The Ukrainian metallurgy of the Russian Federation is no longer needed, for example.
        The IMF loan (1,7 billion) will give - they will close the holes, and then they will ask again. GDP, however, spoke of subsidies of 9-10 billion a year - the West certainly will not give it in vain, and loans will only tighten the noose around the neck. In a good way, we need injections, as in Poland - 160 billion dollars, but the West will definitely not give such money to Ukraine, definitely.
        At the end of July 2013. was in Kiev at the same plant and talked with the deputy. director. Let's go to lunch, and I told him: "Why does your Yanukovych climb into the EU? Are you not afraid that the situation will repeat itself, as with the Baltic states. Where is RAF, Dzintaris, Radioelectronics, VEF, etc.? Why do they need your Antonovs, Zenits, motors and shipyards - do they have their own ?! ..... As he looked into the water. Groisman cannot do anything in such an oligarchic system. hi
        The situation may begin to change when we see the arrival of the Ukrainian leader (not Poroshenko, so different) to the Kremlin. We have already begun to call.

        “Ivanushka, what are you doing, huh?” Gapon asked weakly.

        “I’m cutting the rope,” Ivan replied, clearly annoyed at the lack of maturity of Gapon.

        - What for?

        - Well, not on the whole same you, Judah, hang. Sorry for the rope ... Do you have soap?

        “No ...” Gapon measured.

        - Have to without soap.

        Meanwhile, two strangers came up to Ivan, unfamiliar to Gapon. As the reader can easily guess, these aliens were Kubatay and Smolyanin.

        “If there is no soap,” said Kubatay, “you can use pork fat ...” The purpose of soaping is not to ensure sanitation and hygiene, somewhat belated in such cases, but to reduce friction.

        - Sage! - Ivan praised, reaching for the sewing fat.

    The most objective thought about Ukraine in the light of recent changes in the government runs into a joke about a brothel, when it’s useless to change the interior to attract customers, it’s more efficient to remove the staff working there. In this case, an institution called Ukraine should be reorganized into a more serious organization and go in for control of the country, where the confused and dishonest confused from politics will not be in demand.

    What kind of REVOLUTION is it talking about? It looks more like counter-revolution. If after October 1917, the City crushed the Village using the dictatorship of the proletariat, now the Village has gone to crush the City, destroying production and dreaming of the formation of a "great agrarian superpower". But they somehow forget that NO ONE NEEDS THEY IN THIS APPEARANCE now. So they have already destroyed industrial production, but they are unlikely to build something new.

    Firstly, the revolution took place in 1991 (more precisely, the counter-revolution). Secondly, there is nothing new in decay. Just consumed (run out) resources inherited from the USSR.
    No reforms shine: the BSSSR space is seen as a large colonial prize of the West and the EU. Just a drop in oil prices created a problem: exports to the colonies decreased.

    Quartet

    Prankish Monkey,
    A donkey,
    Goat
    Yes clubfoot Bear
    They started to play the Quartet.
    We got notes, bass, viola, two violins
    And sat on the meadow under the sticky, -
    Captivate your art light.
    Hit in the bows, tear, but no sense.
    “Wait, brothers, wait! - shouts Monkey. -
    Wait a minute
    How do the music go? After all, you are not sitting like that.
    You with the bass, Misha, sit down against the viola,
    I, prima, will sit against the second;
    Then the music will not be the same:
    We will dance the forest and mountains! ”
    Settled, started the Quartet;
    He nevertheless doesn’t get on well.
    “Wait, have I found a secret? -
    Donkey screams, - we really get along,
    If we sit next to him. ”
    We listened to the Donkey: sit serenely in a row;
    Nevertheless, the Quartet is in no way.
    Here more than ever they went to the analysis
    And disputes,
    Who and how to sit.
    Nightingale happened to fly their noise.
    Here, asking everything to him, so that they can be solved by doubt.
    “Perhaps,” they say, “take patience for an hour,
    To Quartet in order our lead:
    And we have the notes, and the instruments are,
    Just tell us how to sit down! ”-
    "To be a musician, so must the skill
    And your ears more gentle, -
    The Nightingale answers them, -
    And you, friends, no matter how you sit down;
    You’re not good at musicians. ”

    Ukraine is a country with a complex history.

    August 24 - 25 years of the founding of this country, unfinished territories, I don’t even know how to say more precisely. What is the story, what and whom? What have independent and proud achieved over a quarter century? what can be the story when traitors of the people who sell their homeland to the conquerors and fight their own people are proclaimed national heroes? The whole history of the outskirts is a path of betrayal and opportunism. They lifted her up all her life and continued to rob her. They revived under the USSR, they felt proud and proud of the nation, and now they are lackeys and lackeys again. It’s your choice, the people of the outskirts, Russia didn’t impose it on you.

    Ukraine is a country with a complex history. Is there such a country as Ukraine? No, of course there is such a country on the political map of the world, and it appeared rhinestone after the collapse of the Russian Empire, only the country is exclusively man-made and, so to speak, stillborn. Both Poland and Finland left the empire, but they used to be, and the history of these entities has been going on for more than one hundred years. But what about Ukraine, or if the Borderland is completely Russian, there has never been such a country, and now there is none. It is not enough just to draw the surface of the earth on the map and tell the people living on it, that's it! you are not Russian now! you are Ukrainians. There is nothing in this, not for nothing that the Motherland and Country are very close concepts. And when the country is not the motherland, then the country is a corpse.
