If you want to learn about what is going on in Ukraine, about what they are preparing for, about what events they are afraid of and expect, then read what they say about Russia and what new troubles they predict for it. You cannot doubt that in several months, or maybe even weeks, precisely this will indeed happen on the southwest suburb of the Russian world.

Earlier the period of time between the anti-Russian prophecies and their transformation into the Ukrainian reality could take even a year or more. The very first forecasts of 1989-1991 started to be realised like a boomerang in Ukraine only 10-15 years later. But the flight time accelerated. The events step on each other’s heels. Now more strategic changes happen during a year in the world than they did in ten years in the 80’s-90’s.

Moreover, the impulse initiated by Gorbachev’s Perestroika that led to the collapse of the USSR, to the establishment of American global hegemony, to a series of civil and internal wars in the former post-Soviet space, and to the threat of the dismantlement of Russia now exhausted its potential. The wave moved in the opposite direction and accelerates its course.

I understand that for the people who live under shelling in Donbass or those who didn’t accept and won’t accept the power of the Kiev regime on the rest of the territory of Ukraine, the last three years don’t seem as just a moment, and the return of Russia to the world arena as a key global player doesn’t seem to them to be so obvious. But the subjective perception doesn’t cancel the objective reality.

The USSR, the superpower status of which since the beginning of the 70’s nobody called into question, never afforded itself in the Middle East what Russia afforded itself in Syria. The USSR sent weapons, as well as “advisers” for these weapons – sometimes in the thousands, it even happened that the USSR threatened with armed force. But such things as one morning the Americans wake up, and in the sky of Syria Soviet aircraft are bombing the “freedom fighters” supported by Washington didn’t happen.

And the USSR didn’t achieve such successes in the Middle East. While it achieved much there. But parity with the US was never violated.

And now the Americans are literally pushed out of the Middle East. And all their attempts to remain in the end only worsen their position. If they accepted Putin’s proposals on the Syrian settlement that was sounded five years ago, then now their position would be much more firm. However, it was noticed long ago that the Russian leadership has the ability to make offers that are impossible to refuse in such a timid manner whereby the opponent (“partner”, if to speak politically correctly) refuses in the hope for something bigger, and as a result doesn’t receive anything.

Finally, the Russians (to be more exact – pro-Russians) in Ukraine and Donbass will receive what they so passionately desired. And they desired, first of all, the physical disappearance of Banderists from Ukraine. A reunion with Russia, before the coup of 2014, was desired by a handful, while the elimination of Banderists – by millions.

In the early 2000’s talk already began in Ukraine about the fact that if Galicia (“with its WW2 Galician Auxiliary policemen“) would depart for Europe (“let it be taken by the Poles”), then life would immediately be painted in all colours of the rainbow. The option “let them be massacred by Russians” was also accepted, but was considered as more exotic – the departure of Galicia for Poland then was perceived as a considerably more real event than sending Galicians to clean the snow in Siberia.

However, even God always fulfils our desires, but it is always a little not as we imagined it to be. It seems that soon Banderists and their henchmen won’t really remain in Ukraine anymore. Moreover, those who will leave the country will be much less than those who will leave this world. But they won’t be liquidated neither by Poles or Russians. It is necessary to wait a little until they eat themselves.

They achieved a good speed. In three years the country lost from 7 to 10 million inhabitants (from a quarter to a third of the listed population as of the beginning of 2014). During this same period over 60% of the national economy evaporated. Crimea is lost completely, Donbass partially, in ten regions the power of Kiev is rather conditional and remains only as long as the local elite tolerate it.

The country becomes empty, and it means the food supply of Banderism is being reduced – it “doesn’t sow, doesn’t plow, doesn’t grow” but “is proud of the social order”, well… or “loves Ukraine”. Resources for professional “love to Ukraine”, as well as resources for the maintenance of a politically inefficient and economically defective oligarchical republic must be found somewhere.

Already the choice itself of the Ukrainian oligarchy to place a stake on Banderism testifies to the fact that legal (quasi-democratic) methods of preserving the oligarchical republic stopped working in conditions of resource deficiency. The power of oligarchy can remain only by means of, in the beginning hidden, and then more and more obvious terror.

However, it also meant that the population should take upon itself the maintenance, besides oligarchs, of Banderist gangs. The Ukrainian oligarchs are too greedy in order to maintain Banderists at their own expense. But Ukraine is too weak and can’t, like the Third Reich, provide marginals protecting oligarchy with living means at the expense of external aggression. But the people also aren’t able to upkeep both the oligarchy and Banderists at the same time.

And it is precisely here that the mistake committed by the Ukrainian oligarchy because of their greed has consequences. Having allowed Banderist gangs to feed themselves on the back of the population, the oligarchs not simply lost a lever of influence on them, but they became the competitors of Banderists in the fight for the remains of the food supply. Moreover, if the oligarchy can’t get rid of the Banderists, which are its pillar of power (without them, oligarchs will lose their power), then Banderists don’t feel there is a need for oligarchs at all. Especially as their “sworn brothers”, not having learnt how to write, read, and wash themselves, became Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada, influencing people, organising different blockades, even commanding the President himself. And even periodically beating up the physiognomies of rare educated Banderists who try to put them in their place.

We will add to this that fact that the oligarchy is split, various groups fatally hate each other and are ready to unite only against a stronger enemy. As soon as the enemy disappears they start being at war among themselves again. Oligarchical clans with idiotic enthusiasm try to use Banderists against each other, raising by this their political value. As a result, it is Ukraine that has all of this:

A fatally frightened President who tries via threats that he can’t fulfil to strengthen his power and immediately making concessions to those who just yesterday he threatened;

The absolute falling of international authority. To the extent that even Poland, which for a long 25 years tolerated the restoration of Ukrainian Banderism and its incorporation into power for the sake of a creation of a buffer between itself and Russia – something that Poles are afraid of at the genetic level, stopped any help to Ukraine and begun the fight against Banderism. Whatever the Poles may say, this is a fight against the Ukrainian power, because Banderism is indeed in power in Ukraine;

An incapacitated government consisting of people who know very well how to send financial streams to the necessary course, but who in fact don’t have financial streams (the fight not for life, but for death is ongoing for drying-up streamlets);

Several oligarchical clans that try to yank away power from the acting President, after which all of them intend to redistribute it (together with property) in their own favor;

Marginal gangs that hide behind Banderist slogans, which are in the service of oligarchical clans and the constantly-growing private armies that represent them;

An organized, ideologized Banderism that hates oligarchy and quasi-Banderist marginals. The real Banderists consider (somehow justly) that oligarchs and marginals destroy Ukraine and are sure (absolutely unjustly) that only the coming to power of real Banderists will save Ukraine.

Against this background the conflict additionally develops between the Russian-speaking part of Maidan (these are those fools who thought that they had a “revolution of dignity” and that they are going into Europe) and the Ukrainian-speaking part (these are Banderists and marginals adhering to them, who are sure that forcing everyone to speak Ukrainian and to hang all those who are discordant will bring peace, order, and prosperity to the country). Banderists privatised Maidan; euro-integrators are not content.



However Russian-speaking “eurointegrators” start telling the Russian-speaking Maidan masses that Banderism isn’t what Maidan stood for, creating a split in Maidan’s unity. And this is much more serious than a “revolt of lone wolfs” who are prominent on social networks, but who forget to switch off the light in the bathroom.

So the country is already split not into two parts, but twenty two. Weapon possession is widespread, and revolt, war, and murder are legalized in public consciousness as a legitimate method of achieving a political aim.

But it’s not incidentally that I began with the fact that for a precise assessment of events in Ukraine it is necessary to look at what they say and write about Russia. And so, according to Ukrainian publicists, in Russia there is:



An economic catastrophe that was caused by the West’s sanctions

Freedom of speech is suppressed by the horrible Kremlin, and citizens come onto Facebook only at night under a blanket;

The becoming impoverished and starving population is ready to receive any liberator army – even the Ukrainian one;

Putin’s close environment planned, launched, organized, already almost finished (and can be even fully finished) a state coup because it dreams of keeping its assets and wishes to buy off the West with Putin’s head;

Russia is on the brink of civil war between various oligarchical, ethnic, and ideological groups. Also, the names of potential leaders of the new regime are sounded. But I won’t repeat them. These people long ago and strongly occupied a marginal niche in Russia that only Ukraine can remember and know about (and only if the CIA whispers it to them).



Now it is necessary to simply understand that Ukrainian publicists describe the reality that surrounds them, replacing the word “Ukraine” with the word “Russia”. And they don’t deliberately lie at all. They sincerely don’t believe that in Russia, Kazakhstan, or somewhere else things can be different than in Ukraine, that’s why they quietly extrapolate the reality surrounding them, in proportion to territorial vastness and ethnic diversity of Russia, inducing fear. But in this case it is important for us not what they think of Russia, but what they see around themselves and what they feel in Ukraine.

And this is what they see – collapse, disorder, coup, civil war, and the death of civilization.

Already in 2014, when there was talk about Russia not being able to cope with a 40-million additional population [Ukraine – ed], which it needs to provide social guarantees for and completely restore the destroyed economy of, the SOS-“patriots” maliciously asked: “And? In five years this problem won’t exist?”. History gave the answer. In five years this problem won’t exist. The problem reduced by 30% in three years and continues to reduce quicker, while after all the most horrible still hasn’t even begun.

The Ukrainian demographers claim that the demographic situation in Ukraine already passed the point of no return, and even if the situation changes in a magic way, it is impossible to prevent the extinction of the Ukrainian nation. Let’s note that they consider all the population of Ukraine as the “Ukrainian nation”, which isn’t quite correct. The ongoing civil war testifies to the fact that in Ukraine there are at least two polar views concerning the foundations of state construction, and it means as minimum two (in reality more) embryos of the nation.

But if there will be no Ukrainian nation, there will be no Banderism too. Polish and Russian Banderists don’t exist. Meanwhile, the process accelerates, and if dynamics remains, then in ten years it is necessary to think not about what means there are to feed the attached Ukrainians, but who should be sent to domesticate a wild field (after all, it’s not good to leave on the country’s border a deserted waste ground the size of France).
