Purgin: There will be two wars - Russia with Ukraine and the new authorities of Donbass with the militias
Moscow - Kyiv, November 27 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Stamm) - Chairman of the DPR Parliament Andrei Purgin predicts two wars: one between Ukraine and Russia, and the other within the unrecognized republics of Donbass, where a battle for power is brewing between the new bureaucratic elite and the field dissatisfied with it commanders. Purgin said this in a conversation with writer Zakhar Prilepin, which he publishes today "KP"

“Ukraine is dying (economically – note by PolitNavigator), but for fascist societies it makes no difference whether everyone dies of hunger,” says Purgin. “They will still put someone under guns and drive them in columns to slaughter.” The fascist regime must lose miserably by military means.”
“I don’t see a peaceful path, I don’t believe in it,” continues the head of the DPR parliament. “Because fascisation has gone too far, plus this is a direct attack against Russia, sooner or later Ukraine will have to use it...”
But something similar is brewing, according to him, in the territory of the DPR and LPR that broke away from Ukraine. “We are in complete... um... everything is difficult for us, too,” says Purgin. – We need to legitimize the authorities, and those who will be left behind: eaten up or brought to a common denominator. This is not a quick process. Some of our territories are controlled by no one at all.”
Purgin does not specify what “eating or reducing to a common denominator” means, but, judging by the context, he means that either the bureaucratic elite, which he himself represents, will subjugate or destroy the militias dissatisfied with it, or they will subdue or destroy the officials.
To Prilepin’s question, “is some kind of internal explosion possible here? A coup attempt, maybe?” Purgin replied: “We must admit that we won the battle, but not the war.” According to him, the people in Donbass “turned out to be more aggressive” than in Kharkov, and therefore in Kharkov the uprising against Kyiv was suppressed, and Donbass managed to survive.
But these same qualities of the local population prevent the current DPR government from establishing complete control over it, since some of the militias do not consider this government legitimate.
“We have few prerequisites for everything to continue to work out well here. We urgently need to build our own civil institutions,” says Andrei Purgin. “Besides, the military is interfering with us.” Because they switched all decisions to the military commandant’s office.”
Thus, the head of the DPR parliament admitted that de facto dual power reigns in Donetsk. “And this can lead to zugunder,” says Purgin.
He did not name the names of his armed opponents in Donetsk.
