To imagine a portrait of Nina Khrushcheva, we bring here the three quotes from one of her interviews dated March 2014. 1. “As explained by Khrushcheva, her grandfather wanted to somehow “compensate Ukrainians for the crimes committed by Stalin, as for example, holodomor” – which became the reason for handing the Crimea over to Ukraine. This version had never been announced before. Utter nonsense. 2. “The very first stress caused by Putin’s actions has led to a shake; the rouble began its fall. Russia cannot be a superpower and therefore, I emphasize, Putin will choke over the Crimea and Ukraine“, – the political analyst said”. One single sentence contains so much love for Russia and the president, elected by the people. There is so much faith in Russian people that there is nothing to add. 3. “Khrushcheva believes that Putin didn’t expect such reaction, even China did not support him, as well as local oligarchs who are already dependent on the West: their children being in London, their money in Switzerland.” It’s just about the degree of understanding of the processes happening around. On the contrary, China did support Russia, and a huge gas contract, signed in Beijing is the proof. China has not condemned the reunification of Russia and the Crimea. It was against the imposition of sanctions against Russia from the West. As we can see, no sanctions (i. e. forms of conviction) will be administered by China. As for the oligarchs, it is true that certain problems are vital. Their children are not in Russian, but abroad as well as the money. The nationalization of the elite has just begun, and the events in Ukraine “have highlighted” the phenomenon of oligarchs in a new way. A close-up view on what would be if oligarchs ran the things in our country was demonstrated to Russian people (ref.: Khrushcheva’s Granddaughter: Putin will choke over the Crimea and Ukraine // http://www.iarex.ru/policy/46392.html).

Curious is the assessment that Sergey Naryshkin, the speaker of the State Duma, gave in June 2014 regarding the ignoring the results of the referendum by the Ukrainian authorities. “In fact, the Crimea was annexed 23 years ago, in a peaceful way though, but that was real annexation” – the chairman of the State Duma said. “Unfortunately, it has become possible due to irresponsibility of a number of our Russian politicians” – he added. “At that time, with the advent of democratic procedures, the residents of the Crimea, the whole Crimea clearly declared the desire to regain the unity with the whole Russia”, – Naryshkin said. “As early as January 1991, the Crimean region held a referendum, which, in fact, challenged the handing of the Crimea over to Ukraine, with 93 % votes in favour of that with a voting turnout of 81 %”, – he emphasized (ref.: Crimea was annexed by Ukraine 23 years ago – Naryshkin // http://www.c-inform.info/news/id/7187).

Similar situation took place within the former Soviet Union repeatedly, when stating an “infringement” in the USSR, union republics really began to undermine and limit a portion of the constituent territories. The most striking examples were: Crimea – Ukraine, Transnistria – Gagauzia – Moldova, Abkhazia – South Ossetia – Georgia.

After the Ukrainian delegation (January 20, 1918) returned to Kiev from the first negotiations with the Germans, the Central Rada announced the independence of Ukraine on January 22, 1918. The delegation of the “independent” UPR signed a peace treaty with Germany and its allies on February 9, 1918. In the apt words of Trotsky, the Ukrainian delegation is the room they lived in Brest by that time. The Red Army troops entered Ukraine, pro-Bolshevik uprisings broke out everywhere. The matter was that there were no progressive and independent TV channels the citizens of today’s Ukraine watch now. And consequently did not know that they were the descendants of the ancient ukrs other than Russian people. Their grandchildren will know about that…

Grushevsky, who was named like Gorbachev Mikhail Sergeevich, was one of the leaders of the Ukrainian bourgeois-nationalist movement. He was a professor of history at Lviv University. In March 1917, he joined the Socialist-Revolutionary Party and headed the Ukrainian bourgeois-nationalist Ukrainian Central Rada, having become one of its main ideologues. The Central Rada drafted German invaders to Ukraine with his active participation. After the collapse of the German occupation, Grushevsky immigrated to Austria in early 1919 and established Ukrainian Institute of Sociology СКАЧАТЬ
