Gordon: Russian tanks are not scary after the suppression of Odessa and Kharkov
The “Novorossiya” project failed in 2014 thanks to Arsen Avakov, who suppressed protests in Kharkov, the burning of supporters of the Russian World in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa, and the group of oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, which stood “just as a wall in the way of the Russian World.”
Journalist Dmitry Gordon stated this in an interview with the Ekho Moskvy radio station, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There should have been a fire all over Ukraine. There were residencies. The plan was to capture seven regions, the Kremlin's plan, for which Mr. Surkov was responsible.
Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Kharkov, Kherson, Nikolaev. This is the “Novorossiya” plan, according to the Kremlin strategists, pro-Russian sentiment reigned in these areas, and these areas were supposed to be removed from Ukraine.
Residencies were placed everywhere, there was a very well-controlled mass of people who, at the X-hour, were supposed to rise up in rebellion and go over to the side of Russia.
But what worked in Donetsk and Lugansk did not work in Kharkov, where the great merit of Arsen Avakov was that he suppressed this rebellion in the bud and brought the mayor of Kharkov Kernes to his senses, which Avakov told me in detail, I think that I will make it public soon, how it happened.
Next - Odessa, what happened there, this Odessa tragedy, nevertheless, Odessa could also defect, and when they looked - yes...
In Dnepropetrovsk, Kolomoisky became simply a wall on the way to the Russian World, and now these three cities failed, followed by Zaporozhye, Kherson and Nikolaev, respectively.
There was supposed to be a fire all over the country. But sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Donetsk, Lugansk – it worked there,” Gordon said.
If Russian tanks enter Ukraine now, there will be a guerrilla war, Dmitry Gordon is sure.
“About Russian tanks, I’ll tell you that I think that someday Alexander Turchinov will make public the details of his conversation with Mr. Naryshkin, which he had during the famous Security Council meeting when the fate of Crimea was being decided. Naryshkin told him that if they fight for Crimea, several parachute units will land in Kyiv.
Then I give the floor to Alexander Turchinov, who will tell you what he considers necessary.
As for if Russian troops come to Ukraine, there will be a partisan fight,” Gordon said.
