Was it Donbas that allowed the fake riot to take place and allow the overthrow of the govt?
Or is that how the USA operates in Libya, Syria, Afganistan, the ME, CA, SA, etc???
The revolt in Donbass had a long history. Let's start with the fact that when Donbass was recovering after the war 1941-1945, millions of people from all over Ukraine were almost forcibly brought there (Komsomolsk sets). These Komsomol members were then heavily brainwashed by Soviet ideology. Orthodox Ukrainians lived in the villages of Donbass, and Sovietiest people lived in cities. Therefore, Donbass first became the most Soviet region of Ukraine, and in the 1990s, when everything Soviet was shaken, it became the most gangster. Don’t think that I want to generalize all the people of Donbass. There were many kind and decent people there. They were just unlucky. How unlucky all Ukrainians are now (this is not because we are worse than all Europeans). There were gangs operating there, into which the Russian special services infiltrated their agents under the guise of simple bandits. The criminal world of Donbass there was headed by Yanukovych, who was made governor of the Donetsk region. Then they saw that he was a very good figure to shake the whole of Ukraine. And he was taken to Kyiv, first to the post of prime minister. The Ukrainians did not want to be ruled by a man with a criminal record and connections to organized crime. In 2004, in the presidential elections in Ukraine, he was opposed to Yushchenko - an intelligent, literate, cultural person, but dependent on the United States. And so, for the first time, Ukrainians were faced with a choice: to choose a representative of organized crime who wants to be friends with Russia, or to choose an intelligent and cultured banker who wants to be friends with the United States against Russia. This is how the first Maidan, the first Orange Revolution, took place. People came out against corruption and organized crime, which Yanukovych personified. At first they did not go against Russia. But with Yushchenko came those who wanted to be friends with the US and the EU. People were promised respect for human rights and a quality of life according to EU standards.
Yushchenko's rule was so unsuccessful that the people who voted for him were disappointed and did not go to the second elections. And so Yanukovych became the president of Ukraine. Under Yanukovych, the quality of life began to deteriorate further, including due to the fact that Russia raised gas prices for Ukraine more expensive than for Germany. Human rights began to be violated. Kyiv students went on a peaceful demonstration in support of the EU, and they were beaten by police. This began the second “Maidan”, the second revolution.
Russia continued to shake up the situation in Ukraine, hoping that when the government was shaken, they would have time to support it in exchange for Ukraine’s sovereignty. But Russia did not have time. The United States quickly navigated this situation. Friends of the United States came to power.
Protest demonstrations were few in number in Donbass. There were provocations of national radicals from Western Ukraine in Eastern Ukraine. But, as FSB Colonel Girkin said, if it weren’t for him and his people, everything would have ended in pogroms, but he managed to ignite a real war, which he and his friends now boasts of:
This is how we see it in Ukraine now. Perhaps our paradigm will change if we learn different facts after the war.
