Once again: Crimea is ours. Pavel Shipilin

After a thwarted terrorist attack Ukrainian saboteurs Americans once again expressed his attitude to the status of Crimea. “Our position on Crimea is well-known: the Crimea is and will always remain part of Ukraine”, — said during a briefing at the U.S. state Department Director of press relations Elizabeth Trudeau.
Strange stubbornness.
The annexation of the Peninsula Russia say so often that in the end, I felt sorry that all these politicians and political scientists clearly did not read my blog. In any case, Madame Trudeau from state — exactly. But I have explained why, legally, the care of the Crimea was made perfect.
In addition, the blog continually added commentators, and occasionally a critical mass of newcomers exceeds the number of regulars. Brand new for obvious reasons, the old posts are not read, and therefore does not know the difference between rough annexation from the lawful exercise of the right of peoples to self-determination. The dispute between the old structure and the completion revolves around proven truths, and because the same terms are filled with different meanings.
So periodically I have to remind the main points.
According to the definition of “Large encyclopedic dictionary”, the ANNEXATION (lat. annexio — connection) is a type of aggression, the forcible annexation (seizure) of all or part of the territory. state or nation, and the forced retention of ethnic groups within the borders of another state.
Kiev and Washington insist that the Republic of Crimea had the right to Declaration of independence because it asked for Kiev’s permission to hold a referendum. Not reinforcing, however, your argument is nothing but inner conviction.
But I have a very simple, but still robust argument in favor of the fact that Crimea had the right to declare independence. A few days nezalezhnaya power is noisy to celebrate the quarter-century anniversary of my unassailable argument. He carefully stored on the website of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, everyone can see this.

Of course, no “trains of friendship”, no “promise anything, then we hang up” and other equally exotic threats from Moscow are not followed. I mentioned argument was enough to a new country unilaterally declared its independence.
Ukraine was born as a separatist state, to use modern terminology. But to condemn her for it, a coup in the middle is indeed a serious reason to break with the mother country relationship. Not all regions agree to live in one country under the new rules, which will establish the winners of the revolution. Even “the revolution of a gidnost”.
For the same reason, Ukraine has neither the moral nor legal right to call the Crimean traitors. Gross violation of the Constitution, which quite deliberately went to the Maidan protesters, automatically destroyed the social contract, through which the regions that constitute one state, to be kept together.
Kyrgyzstan — TSE Europe. And Ukraine not understand that
I must say, Ukraine is not the only state among the former Soviet republics, which became interested in the change of power through unconstitutional means. The most recent example is the revolution in Kyrgyzstan in 2010.
There’s passion boiled serious. It was in the Republic and its Yanukovych — Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Were their irreconcilable regions like Galicia and Donbas — the North and the South. Bakiyev, like Yanukovych in Ukraine, not loved in the North, where the clans were no longer in business, nor in the South, where the President was born.
Had its “heavenly hundred” — April 7, 2010 in Bishkek during the storming of government buildings killed 84 people. However, Bakiyev’s government has never denied that he shot people, he said only that shot at armed opposition.
Already on the evening of 7 April, the government resigned and the President fled to Osh. The opposition formed an interim “government of national trust” (a period of six months to organize democratic elections), which is headed by former foreign Minister Roza Otunbayeva.
As later admitted the Kyrgyz revolutionaries to force Bakiyev-controlled Parliament to impeach him was unreal. Another parallel with the Euromaidan.
The similarity of Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan ends.
Because the first thing attended to Bishkek revolutionaries immediately after the victory, was the legitimacy of the new government. Unlike the winners of the “revolution gidnost”, in Kyrgyzstan knew that the victory of the “northerners” and establishing their rules for the entire country would lead to civil war. In any case, attempts to send “friendship trains” to the South (and enthusiasts were, where do without them) rigidly suppressed.
However, the excitement was in the South decided that “northerners” will be their things. Approximately with the same suspicion Donbass has always belonged to Galicia.
However, unlike the brave Bandera, Bishkek decided not to make love? He invited representatives of the South to pereubedit” the country.
Representatives of both warring regions, as well as all parties sat down to write the draft of the new Constitution of Kyrgyzstan, changed in the five years between the two presidents by force, decided to become a parliamentary Republic. 27 Jun obscurity passed a referendum, in the vote was attended by more than 90 percent of the population. The Constitution was adopted.
Could Ukraine in 2014 to go the same way? Of course. To do this she had to send emissaries to the regions with densely populated Russian-speaking population in new Russia and the Crimea. To calm people down, to tell that now, after the revolutionary ouster of the hated Yanukovych, a new country will draft a new Constitution — the whole world. Choose representatives for a constituent Assembly and send them to Kiev — to begin joint work.
After drafting a new Constitution, it had to be published and then put to a national referendum. And then schedule elections for President and Parliament in accordance with the new Basic law.
Instead of these logical and peaceful steps Ukraine has preferred to impose a new order by force. First send “trains of friendship” to the Donbas, staged Korsun pogrom and almost passed a law banning the use of Russian language. Denoting thereby which country intend to build winners of the Maidan.
Then there was Odessa, Mariupol, ATO. Ukraine gradually turned to a country at war with its own population. And turned.
Nenka still lives in the same Constitution, which was trampled on in 2014. Pretending that nothing happened, and the escape of Yanukovych is almost a impeachment. I was very amused when our Nebrat appeal to the Basic law, proving the impossibility of implementation of the Minsk agreements.
This is a violation of the Constitution! — they make big eyes. I wonder why the Constitution has become for you a sacred cow?
In fact, Minsk agreement, step by step painted sequence of actions, thanks to which Ukraine could again become a civilized state like Kyrgyzstan. She still has a chance.
Of course, I understand that many will disagree with me.
Could Yakutia to declare independence?
This is the most common question we are asked the Ukrainians. They believe that there is hidden trick. While the answer is quite simple.
Of course, maybe not only for Yakutia, but also any other region. But just in case, if ever we, the Russians, the collective pluck the roof, and we will arrange Maidan in Moscow — ‘ll Pogram tires and overthrow the President. That is, take a coup d’etat and unconstitutional change of government.
None of the regions of the Russian Federation is not obliged to accept such a gross violation of the Constitution. After all, as well as Ukraine, the regions holds together the Constitution — the social contract.
Today the social contract is valid — the power changes according to the Basic law. In these circumstances, the Declaration of independence by any region will be considered a criminal offense. But if any rogues so much stronger that will make a revolution in the center, then Russia will inevitably begin to unravel at the seams, and civil war will begin.
Today we are seeing in Ukraine. I must say, very instructive the battle-painting unfolding before our eyes.
However, the picture for two years, a little boring. Ukrainians make up another marketplace, eh? Well, you should. Give someone a couple of areas to our opposition finally lost his flock. For example, Galicia and Volhynia. Can the Kharkiv and Odessa.
And that is boring we live here, in Russia.
