Right off the bat

Its scandalous escapades Savchenko became famous in the prison, but at home her artistic talent blossomed extraordinarily. The Ukrainian woman met with open arms and treated like royalty.

In the same spirit, temperamentally, inexplicable and unpredictable — she acted and all subsequent 100 days.

For that fight

Some of those who fought for the liberation of Savchenko, thoughtful and greatly regretted what he had done. But had nowhere to go: Nadia overnight from a disenfranchised Martyr became an important political figure.

“The Ukrainian establishment has been very short-sighted, inflating its importance, — commented in an interview with RT chief editor of the portal “Ukraine.<url>” Iskander Khisamov. — Now they don’t know what to do with it”.

His political career began Savchenko is still in prison in absentia. She was accepted into the ranks of “Batkivshchyna”, was put forward in deputies of the Verkhovna Rada, giving the first place in the list, and after the election not only booked her parliamentary seat, but also included in the permanent delegation of Ukraine in PACE.

After returning from prison, Savchenko with a frightening zeal, began to perform their parliamentary duties.

Nadia in Parliament

The first performance of Savchenko in Parliament was more pathetic than scandalous. She stated that she will not allow to forget about the soldiers who died on Maidan and in Donbas, declared: “Ukraine above each of our lives” and sang the national anthem.

However, her next sitting day in Parliament was rich in sensation. Savchenko has compared Parliament with a market and not found the censorship of expressions to evaluate its work. In the future, she continued to delight the audience as furious statements. For example, compared the Ukrainian government to “Titanic” and threatened that the people will not let any rat escape from the ship.

Such speeches made yesterday supporters Savchenko to call it “a time bomb”. And then, as you increase the number of its revelations, — the “Trojan horse” and “agent of Putin.”

Nadia in Europe

Soon Savchenko entered the arena of European politics. She spoke in PACE. Come to a meeting wearing combat boots and a homemade costume. Shock European parliamentarians angry speeches she ventured out and faithfully met in a two-minute time limit.

At the start of his parliamentary career Savchenko intimidated journalists, saying on the sidelines of Parliament that he was going to buy clothes in second-hand stores and dress like its people”. She realized his intention or not is unknown. But gradually the uniforms and shirts went out of her wardrobe, replaced by tight jeans, a light blouse, embroidered vest, and a black leather jacket. So national heroine turned into “my boyfriend”.

Need a scandal

Over the past 100 days, Hope had no time to lead. Should start with the fact that she fell asleep on the meeting of the Verkhovna Rada. But who does not happen. Unparliamentary behavior Savchenko took far less peaceful forms — it is shouting from their seats, interrupted the speeches of his colleagues, and made them a verbal altercation.

Presidential ambitions

Probably the most regretted about the return, ” Petro Poroshenko. Not having time to unpack suitcases, Nadia has already announced its readiness to become President of Ukraine, of course, if it is the wish of the people. In response, Poroshenko offered a “symbol of nation” to go to the European tour and to meet with EU leaders. Subsequently, he kept in mind to sell arms to the heroine of Ukraine and even offered to make her a UN Ambassador. All in vain.

Savchenko, meanwhile, continued to declare his presidential ambitions. After a month at home, she expressed confidence in his absolute victory in the presidential election and casually accused the Ukrainian government and the army that they fought Russia in the Crimea, thus triggering the war in the Donbass. And somewhere in the 60-day announced that simply has to run for the presidency, even against their will. It does not rule out the transition in the form of the dictatorship — “in order to return this power to the people and to do so more than ever the power of the people is not taken”.

In August at a rally near the presidential administration, Savchenko went to a frontal attack on Poroshenko, it seems, decided that the election campaign has already begun: “the walls of the presidential administration came the mother of prisoners of war. And the President did not even talk to him. He was deprived of maternal support. Demonstrated that the present government is no better than the government of Viktor Yanukovych. He had to at least take mothers. To explain what the state is doing to bring the prisoners home. And the support showed the other side, the enemy. They through the media, invited the mothers to come and visit their children. It turns out that the enemy had heard their mothers faster. Question: who then is the enemy?”

Women’s issue

The second victim of the comeback Savchenko became Tymoshenko. Her protégé was out of control. Savchenko had his own game without regard to authorities and always put Tymoshenko in an awkward position. In the end, the head of the parliamentary faction “Batkivschyna” broke down and opened a terrible secret that Verkhovna Rada Deputy Savchenko has never been a politician and not versed in international relations.

On the causes of discord in a noble family spoke Iskander Khisamov: “Savchenko — a natural rival for Tymoshenko and Poroshenko. It creates inconvenience to both. First, takes place on the Ukrainian political scene, which there a little bit. And secondly pulls the electorate.”

The hunger strike 2.0

A new world for her policies Savchenko tried to use the proven methods of the prison. And easily went on hunger strike to speed up the process of liberation of the Ukrainian prisoners.

“From today, I again went on hunger strike on the inactivity of the authorities around the world regarding the liberation of Ukrainians from captivity,” — said Savchenko.

However, on specifying question of journalists, what is the date she begins a hunger strike, Savchenko replied: “I already had Breakfast, so tomorrow”.

Itself the strike was gentle — on-the-water, no food”, while Savchenko admitted to reporters that he might “taste a little wine.”

Cornucopia

100 days Savchenko managed to say more than other members during the stay in the Verkhovna Rada. She offered to veterans of the ATO to give the status of combatants and herself set them the example. Continued to insult the deputies, stating that 95% of them unworthy of his people. Promised in case of a new revolution in Ukraine to be among its organizers. Frighten the Third world if the West can help Kiev with weapons. And in the event of war, predicted that Ukraine will become a “battleground”, and again Crimea is part of Ukraine. She was throwing stones in the garden Poroshenko, saying that the policy pursued by the authorities of Kiev will lead to the fact that the special status will have to give not only the Donbass, but throughout Ukraine. Acted as a peacemaker, calling to apologize to the mothers whose sons were killed in DND and LNR, “no matter from which side.” And raise your voice for Amnesty for most of the participants of the conflict.

Each time the degree of its applications grew. Culminating in a proposal for settlement of the conflict in the Donbas: to change the Constitution and hold direct talks with leaders of the unrecognized republics Igor Plotnitsky and Alexander Zakharchenko.

Countdown

Scandalous statements Savchenko did their job – the attitude of Ukrainian society began to change. According to the results of a survey conducted in Ukraine by the sociological Agency “Rating”, 34% of Ukrainians believe that the greatest benefit to the country Savchenko will bring in as a military pilot. 17% saw her at the head of the international Committee for the release of prisoners, 17%— in the chair of MP.

At first her attacks were offered not to pay attention, do not give them much importance. They say, man, just released, did not have time to adapt to the new conditions. Next came accusations of betrayal in the Kremlin. Finally, on the website of the Ukrainian President appeared petition with a demand to deny the title of hero of Ukraine to Verkhovna Rada Deputy Nadiya Savchenko: “we Demand to deprive her of the honorary title of hero of Ukraine. To conduct a survey of her health with a mandatory rehabilitation, which is always held after the liberation of man from captivity.”

To be continued?

Recent Savchenko became calmer. Maybe tired or is it the calm before the storm? “She will gradually grow into a realistic frame of reference – said Iskander Khisamov. – There is a risk that it will lose its charisma and its emotional impact, if not very active. In September, when the session of the Verkhovna Rada, it’s probably from something and shoot.”
