Ukraine is increasingly reminiscent of Russia in 1917

Украина все больше напоминает Россию в 1917

Victory day may 9, 2016 has become another evidence of the deep split of modern Ukraine. In many cities there has been the fight of the Ukrainian nationalists with the people who came to honor the memory of our ancestors who defended their Homeland. Bandera tried to take away the ribbons, red stars, attacked even the very elderly and children. All of this was predictable, of course. And the response that people gave the Nazi thugs, too, was predictable. And the implications are well calculated.

In General, the situation continues to remind the troubled 1917. First, let me remind you that the Maidan in February staged a so-called “liberals”. This coup in the country, leading a difficult war with an extremely dangerous enemy that caused the demolition of the old state machine, only worsened the situation. In Ukraine in 2014 was no war with any external enemy, nor civil war, but “maydanutye” Titanic efforts have managed to achieve both options at once. Russia acted as the Kaiser’s Germany, she used the time and “grabbed” Crimea.

Is it possible to blame Russia for this situation? Technically we can. Only let the one who has the “stigma of a gun” as they say. We all know how responsive the main beacon of the Western world the US a threat to their interests abroad. Marines quickly cleans out clutter or mess – it doesn’t matter – the important thing is that no one is tormented by doubts. And in the world to this somehow got used to it and hardly pay attention. Say, the Americans are not annexing other people’s territory? Oh, come on: it is successfully robbed Mexico of a huge chunk of land. Now this makes no sense, enough to bring to power loyal to America and American corporations the government.

Ukrainian revolutionaries to the Bolshevik demonstrate resourcefulness and quick to make with Russia, something like the Brest peace. You can recognize the loss of Crimea, so as not to lose anything more, and even bargain. Crimea has always been Pro-Russian and to get rid of the “traitor” for Ukraine, and for a good price would be a bargain. Over the Bolsheviks in March 1918 the Germans surrendered the territory with a population of 56 million, but still paid a couple of cars gold. But mad nationalism won pragmatism in crest, on the Ukrainian side declared a “war until victory” and “the West will help us”. Both turned out to be a mistake: in the war suffered a crushing defeat, and the West does not seriously helped. Even lend-lease was not offered.

And what we have today? Ukraine after the February revolution his 2014. has become the most poor state in Europe, but still have open territorial conflict with a powerful neighbor. Ukraine got the power, unable to cope with any of the systemic problems. In Ukraine there is a deep internal split in society, which is now only expanding, but will inevitably lead to falling into the abyss of a new revolution. Something like this happened in Russia in October 1917. And that means only one thing: Ukraine should prepare for a powerful new shocks and at the same time for the inevitable territorial losses. So the Ukrainian “Brest-Litovsk” is yet to come…
