Unorganized grassroots violence is predicted for Ukraine
During the current election campaign in Ukraine, street clashes involving different groups of nationalists, grassroots violence and violent pressure are possible.
Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this on the online show of Alexander Klimenko’s team, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There will be no Maidan, there may be clashes in the streets. Maidan is a broad civil movement, one direction is anti-corruption, one anti-oligarchy, another geopolitical, they gathered in the square, and they have a common enemy, Yanukovych or Putin. And here the image of the enemy becomes stratified. The street - yes, clashes between nationalists - yes, different ones, some affiliated with one candidate, others - with another candidate - there may also be.
But this is not what is called “Maidan” or “velvet revolution”, “color revolution” or some other revolution. This is already such a forceful pressure, in political science (since you have already called me a classic of political science) this is called grassroots unorganized (sometimes organized) violence. But grassroots violence,” Karasev said.
