Ukrainian officials said that for two years in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk fell in love with Ukraine
Two years after Slavyansk and Kramatorsk had been abandoned by the militia, the Ukrainian authorities were able to “reforge” the consciousness of the inhabitants of these cities. As stated the head of Donetsk military and civil administration Pavlo zhebrivskyi, today, they no longer want in DND, and “almost do not want to Russia”.
“If someone is expecting miracles that we will one day Wake up and those who go to a referendum, was not allowed tanks, woke up today Ukrainian patriots and screaming every step of the way “Glory to Ukraine — glory to heroes”, then there is no such. Takes a long time to work and to settle the Ukraine” — quoted by Ukrainian officials “Politnavigator”.
According to Zhebrivsky, there is “serious progress”. Some “recent sociology” shows that the boundaries of statistical error, almost none of those people who want to live in the DNI.
“There is a small cohort of people who want to live in one country with Russia is from 8 to 12%. And more than 70% of those who want to live in Ukraine. In different models, whether decentralization or grant greater rights to the region, but they consider Ukraine as their United homeland,” said zhebrivskyi.
More recently, the Ukrainian military tried to hide behind civilians of Donbass, as a shield that has angered residents of the city of Terezka in the vicinity of Gorlovka. This fact alone suggests that it is unlikely that people want to live in a state doing so with its citizens. However, aggressive promotion of the media, really can influence public opinion. How seriously for two years has changed the mood of the people in that part of the Donbass controlled Kiev regime?
In my opinion, the statements of the official so-called Donetsk military-civilian administration has not just manipulation of the facts, but outright lies, co — Chairman of the Committee of state building of Novorossia, Vladimir Rogov. — You can imagine the mood of the people living in the cities and towns of that part of Donbass, which is now in control of Kiev regime. Residents see every day the destruction that came because of the shelling of the Ukrainian “liberators”. Moreover, most of this destruction had not even begun to eliminate. Therefore, no illusions, no one there. Everyone understands that the attitude towards them still as second-class citizens. They simply suffer, as the war continues. The Kiev authorities fear unrest in the rear and therefore tend to act relatively cautiously. However, hundreds of people in the same Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and other cities for two years of occupation were missing. Many are in secret prisons of the SBU. This fact was confirmed by representatives of international organizations. And aid to residents of Donbass from Kiev, mainly consists of repainting fences and benches in the “yellow and blue” color.
Still, the high level of crime against civilians. But after the adoption of the so-called law on Amnesty of participants of the “ATO” who committed the allegedly non-violent crimes, at least some hope for justice, if they were one, disappeared. People see that dozens of thieves and rapists released after symbolic of his release in prison. This means that Ukrainian security officials given carte Blanche to commit new crimes, because “fog of war”,
Still, according to our supporter in the Donbass, in the direction of the front line echelons with military equipment and equipment and they return, often loaded with “depressed” by the local population of cars and other property.
So sympathy for the “United Ukraine”. That’s for sure. I communicate with dozens of residents of Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Mariupol and other cities of Donbass, who are ready to help the army LNR and DNR in the aggravation of the situation.
Yet there was not one example, when using sweeps and intimidation of citizens forced to love the regime that suppresses them.
— However, it is possible to imagine that the Ukrainian media represent everything that happens in the LDNR in a very negative light. This cannot help but have some effect on the minds of people.
— Yes, man is weak. A certain percentage of residents may believe aggressive propaganda, and to be disappointed in the republics. On the other hand, most have relatives in the LC and the DNI. And it is well known that, for example, in Donetsk the rent is now 2.5 times lower than in the same Slavyansk. Everyone knows that on the field of the republics released a new agricultural equipment of the Russian production. Now there is zero taxation for agricultural producers. In the territories controlled by Kiev, on the contrary, abolished the simplified taxation system for farmers. In addition, “heroes ATO” already distributed thousands of hectares of land in the Donbas, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhya regions. Most of the new “farmers” have not a local residence, but just want to get the fertile lands which they “defended”.
Many residents feel about as if they gave land to the invaders. Is it any wonder that recently in the Slavic area, with the building of the local police was thwarted by the Ukrainian flag. It happened on the Day of Constitution of Ukraine. Therefore, the words Zhebrivsky is another failed attempt to convince himself and others that “all is well and everyone loves the” United Ukraine.
— I’m not sure that the opinion polls referenced in the Ukrainian official, was the representative — the Director of the Center for political studies University of Finance Pavel Salin. In such circumstances, as in the Donbass, sociologists usually give the “socially acceptable answer”. That is exactly the answer you want to hear. It happens in all countries with a relatively rigid authoritarian control system, when people have a position different from the official. But in the Donbass, in fact, under martial law people understand that tomorrow it may not come the sociologists, and the guys from nabata.
And, of course, the factor of propaganda cannot be ruled out. People see that in the DNI and LC is a war. Hopes that Russia will intervene and there will be peace, all the less, some still, at what power to live. Not fired.
