For the first time there is no “lesser evil” in the elections to the Verkhovna Rada
In 2005, after the final victory of the Orange Revolution, a group of consolidated political and economic elites remained in the country, which formed an opposition to the power of the revolutionaries. Without going into WHAT these elites were, you need to understand that they WERE. Now there is simply no political force that could replace the Kyiv coup government when they are completely disappointed in it. And this is the main problem and the main feature of the political agenda in Kyiv.
Last week, for the first time in six months of war in the East and total anti-Russian propaganda, an entire parliamentary group “For Peace and Stability”, consisting of almost 30 people’s deputies of Ukraine, paid an official visit to the Russian State Duma and talked with Russian parliamentarians. Upon returning home, they were immediately accused of “treason” against Ukraine, working for the special services and, of course, sabotage and subversive activities.
This visit is the first and important step. But the group of deputies itself is extremely heterogeneous. It consists of former regionals and several people's deputies who left the Communist Party faction. They do not have a common ideology and a common political platform, and there is no local network. Immediately after the new elections, this deputy group will cease to exist; moreover, as far as we know from communication with one of the group members, in fact it no longer exists as a single whole. The same MP conveyed the feeling of communicating with Russian legislators, who, in his opinion, look very confident in the winning and correctness of their actions and the inevitable victory of the Russian world.
New type party and revolution 2015
The situation now really resembles the post-February state of Russia in 1917. Both then and now, the February Revolution brought to power people who could only destroy their own country. At the same time, Poroshenko, no matter how disgusting he is, is still trying to preserve at least something in Ukraine. But his actions strongly resemble the actions of Hetman Skoropadsky: everything is crawling out of his hands, inevitably bringing the end closer. Interesting fact: the heroes of the “White Guard” - Russian officers - support the hetman and fight for him against Petliura and the UPR. The hetman himself is not a Russian ruler, but a bright Ukrainized, Ukrainian, somewhat anti-Russian. Isn’t it similar to today’s Kyiv and Dnepropetrovsk, where tens of thousands of ethnic Russians and Russian speakers take openly anti-Russian positions? Another interesting thing is that in 1917 the most monarchical and pro-Russian-imperial region was... Volyn, starting from Kremenets and Pochaev and lasting to Zhitomir and Novograd-Volynsky.
But history never repeats itself verbatim. When the bourgeois government of Kerensky finally brought the country to collapse and disintegration, a small but ideologically united, consolidated, not numerous, but clenched like a fist organization of the Bolsheviks appeared on the scene. They were not only able to pick up power that was falling into the mud, but saved the country from collapse.
There is no such force in Ukraine now. Whether the political movement of Donbass can become such a force is no longer clear. It is no longer only official Kyiv that has abandoned Donbass like a broken piece. This refusal occurred on a psychological level in fairly deep layers of the population. Donetsk and Lugansk residents are already (for how long - I don’t know?) perceived as different. Such a psychological revision also occurred in the residents of Donbass.
Will a political force emerge that will be able to reunite the lands of Ukraine, based not on nationalism or, even worse, Banderaism? Such a force will definitely appear, only the format of the unification will be completely different from the one along the borders and administrative vertical of Ukraine until the end of 2013. It is difficult to say whether it will be a confederal structure together with the republics of the Eurasian Union, or a federation of Ukrainian republics, or some other government structure. We can say for sure that all Bandera and radical nationalist militant associations, which in theory will be able to take power, for example, in the revolution of the winter of 2015, will not only not unite Ukraine within its previous borders - they will strengthen its split within the rest of the country, leading to their own destruction . Neither the Opposition Bloc nor the Communist Party of Ukraine, unfortunately, will be able to become the force that will seize power when it finally begins to fall. This requires a new type of party, the formation of which is, apparently, still in its infancy, if it has begun at all.
If we recall history, then Petlyura began an active struggle with Skoropadsky (Poroshenko?), and after some time he captured Kyiv at the Poles’ bayonets.
The elections to the Duma (Rada) are just around the corner, the results of which are absolutely surprising. It’s clear that the new Rada will last even less than its predecessor. The state itself is increasingly losing control levers, so after a passionate conversation “Poroshenko and the bankers”, in which the president demanded an exchange rate of 12,95, the rate stabilized, only the interbank sharply reduced the volume of dollar trading: now a black currency market is being formed in Kyiv, which in terms of volume will soon exceed interbank trading.
The disintegration continues, Petliura and the conditional Poles are preparing, Skoropadsky is hysterical and holding parades, Shchors’s troops are fighting with the UPR army... But there are still no Bolsheviks.
