Kiev Clashes

Post Reply New Topic

The head of Ukraine's defence council is one of the founders of the Social Nationalist Party, since renamed Svoboda, the neo-Nazi party... his deputy, in charge of the country's police, is from the neo-Nazi Right Sector. So here we have the neo-Nazis running the police and the prosecutors. I do not blame the Crimeans one bit for taking all measures, including asking for and getting informal Russian military help, to keep them out!

The airports are key places from where Right Sector stormtroopers and troops loyal to the new regime can land to force the will of the new regime upon Crimea, so it is very sensible to have professionals run these places in order to prevent such an occurance. The presence of these miltiiamen also helps stiffen the resolve of Ukrainian police there who, as local Crimeans, would be relunctant to follow orders from Kiev but believing perhaps that they have no choice, doing so and attacking their own people. These miltiias help to encourage them to not follow those neo-Nazi commands.

More on the Russian presence in the area.

From your article:

I wonder if that line running through the middle of the country will soon become the new Russo-Ukrainian border? It would be almost perfect as an international boundary, especially for Russia as they would get access to the Black Sea that would be much more difficult to restrict.

I also wonder if, perhaps, the border between Moldova and now-Ukraine would be changed as well. Transnistria (the separatist part of Moldova that is east of the Dniester River) could be given to Russia in return for Ukrainian Cisnistria (the part of Ukraine that is west of the Dniester River, on the main Moldovan side); this would make the border between Moldova and an annexing Russia more natural.

Moldova may then, bringing up memories of a long-gone era, even change its name back to Moldavia.

I'm glad I don't live there right now,sorry for those that do.I wonder what effect the language spoken will have.Russian speakers siding with Russia most likely.

The article made no mention of this, but besides Tatars having been deported from the Crimea by Stalin, so were Germans who had been living there since their ancestors had settled there from the time of the Napoleonic wars. A great many of these people had died of starvation in Siberia, all justified by Stalin because some of their number had collaborated with the Nazis - even though a great many Black Sea Germans had been murdered by the Nazis for protecting their Jewish or Russian relatives and friends. I had some relatives there who had died at the hands of the Nazis and the communists.

The young man that pulled it all together.

Someone is confusing the Dniester and Dnieper...
