The Donbass as the last hope of Ukraine

Донбасс как последняя надежда Украины

 

The theme of war in a message to Petro Poroshenko to the Verkhovna Rada was the expected dominant. This, in turn, showed that the political instinct of self-preservation that Ukrainian officials developed in the direction of self-destruction that was already performed steadily but inexorably. Man has managed about thirty times in his speech to use the word “war”, or just does not know that according to a new poll, about 60 percent of Ukrainians favor early world, or just decided to ignore this fact, as not worthy of attention.

Words of war

In fact, hardly anyone expected that Poroshenko will change their primitive strategies to write off the economic problems on external aggression, which Ukraine has to face. In the absence of any clear course of reforms and even a minimal of achievements, amid falling living standards, appeal to the hardships of wartime is the only thing that remains the leader of the rapidly descends into chaos and poverty of the country.

But in today’s circumstances, this already gives a rather negative effect, because people already know one thing: their awareness, understanding the need to do all this in a difficult period, to endure all the hardships call out those who did not suffered from total covering the Ukraine crisis in the slightest degree and even more, managed to benefit even from the misfortunes that have befallen the Ukraine..

Among other things, the simple everyday logic fails to build links between the war and, for example, by raising tariffs, which — now it’s clear — will result in a real social disaster for the majority of the country this winter. People are well aware that for heat and electricity to pay more than required by the IMF — corruption interest of Ukrainian officials and businessmen is maintained in any weather. From the fulfillment of the conditions of the Fund depends whether Ukraine provided new loans. What’s the General war?

Approval Poroshenko that there is a hunt for corrupt officials, also unable to induce at least a minimum of trust, because even if a campaign is conducted, it is possible to see the results public so no one have provided. High-profile detentions and arrests usually are theatrical shows that do not have adverse, and sometimes investigative perspective. In fact, none of the officials caught in recent months in the arms of justice, and has not received a real sentence.

But in ordinary life the situation is even worse, since if earlier the citizens had money for bribes, it is now not enough for the bare necessities, and the officials, as before, require you to pay for everything — any paper, any resolution. In addition, the army ransomware has significantly expanded its ranks by the Ukrainian army and fighters of the terbatalonov that firmly took over the gills area, which is the ATO. The huge money earned by smuggling and control of travel and beyond the control of Kiev breakaway separatist regions.

In General, it Poroshenko is another act of political suicide, however, this circumstance can hardly please the people who have to live in a country called Ukraine. In a country where the standard of living has fallen in 3-4 times, in which Nazi gangs burn houses and people beaten unreliable, they argue, citizens, at best they fill their bins, the country in which it is impossible to plan a life for the future, because nobody knows what evil awaits around the corner.

To live in such circumstances, only one day, nothing can make plans for tomorrow. Man, however, is so constituted that he needs a foothold, the ground is to understand the rules of the game, on which you can build a plan, though not luxurious, but relatively stable existence. But where to take such a foothold in winservernamx a state that is only gaining momentum decay?

Donbass as a sample

It seems to me that the only hope for the unfortunate inhabitants of Ukraine could have become the experience of Donbass, who even in war to rebuild at home order to build community life and create, albeit not free from flaws, but the existing controls. In this multidirectional movement of the two parts of the former Ukraine to collapse, and the order seems logical to choose the second model to try to align engulfed by chaos and insanity areas controlled (if that word applies here) Kiev.

Options like this will happen a lot, but not to disappear in a vortex of fatal events only using Donbass experience of separation, autonomy. Of course, hardly anyone really wants to follow the route of the former Donetsk and Lugansk regions, but this is not required. Main thing is to firmly grasp the lesson that, if not retreating, gathering in Kiev, the chaos is very easy to tighten (and already addictive) in your funnel and other regions of Ukraine. Power is decentralized and weak, she is lying on the street, where it picked up the Nazi battalions. Regions it’s time to join this division, that, at least not with immediate federalization, to win for itself the right to regional security.

This requires a new slogan, which is able to convince Kiev that the transfer of authority to the field is inevitable. I think that this slogan may be a call for the reunification of the Donbass. It is clear that the President’s appointment of governors General far from being able to keep up with the interests of the people, but it may take community committees, local councils, just a group of concerned citizens. Donbass can and should become the Assembly point of the new Ukraine, liberated from Nazism and the total power of predatory oligarchic capital. This is all you need to do this for two reasons. Firstly, regions need to stop the growth collapse on its own borders, and secondly, you need to be ready to catch the power at the moment when Poroshenko and his Nuker staggered chairs. There should be made a technical intercept. Well, then, God willing.

You can go on the road to Donetsk, where the government works and develops, and to integrate into the process, you Can stay at his, asking him to share the experience. In any case, I think the Donbass will become a Savior of Ukraine, because on the horizon is not visible, and death is coming inevitably. I am sure that DNR and LNR are willing to lend neighbors a helping hand. No wonder this year the leader of the DND Zakharchenko spoke on television with the residents Harkovskoe, Odessa and Kherson areas.
And other hopes, and never will be.
