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 in Vienna – an ideological center of Ukrainian nationalist counter-revolution. After several appeals to the Ukrainian Soviet government, in which he condemned his counter-revolutionary activities, the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee allowed him to return to his homeland for scientific work in 1924. Grushevsky was elected and became the academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukranian SSR in 1924. He headed the historic section of Ukrainian History Branch of the Academy. In 1929 he was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Since 1930, he worked in Moscow. It is remarkable that the most intense conflicts of 2014 between militants and law enforcement forces took place exactly on the Grushevsky street in Kiev.

The very first document was “the First Universal”, which was adopted by the Central Rada of Ukraine as early as on June 23, 1917. That was when the Provisional Government held the office. The Universal appealed “to Ukrainian people, in Ukraine and outside the country and declared autonomy within the borders of Russia. That was how it was written, “without seceding from Russia … let the Ukrainian people have the right to manage their own life” (ref.: Ukrainian statehood and lessons of history. Retort of Maxim Kononenko // http://www.vesti.ru/doc. html? id = 1718252 & tid = 105474). After negotiations with Kerensky, the Central Rada pledged not to introduce autonomy unilaterally. “The Second Universal” was released on this occasion. The paper, published in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Jewish, stated: “we, the Central Rada …always stood for keeping Ukraine as a part of Russia”. However, the purpose of “revolutionary democrats” was to destroy Russia, and the shortest way to do it is to separate it from Ukraine. Nothing concerning separation is observed in the text of “the Third Universal” either, the text of which is fully given. However, Ukraine will be separated in the text of the Brest peace. Just four months after the release of “the Third Universal”.

The end of Symon Petlyura was also quite symbolic. He was murdered on May 25, 1926 in Paris by a Jewish emigrant, who thus took vengeance on for violence of Petlyurites towards the Jews. Anti-Semitism along with Russo-phobia is the identity of Ukrainian nationalists.

Meanwhile, few Ukrainians know about further twists and turns of state construction during the chaos and civil war. These events painfully resemble present days. “A few months after the proclamation of the Ukrainian People’s Republic in Kiev, one will not believe, the West Ukrainian People’s Republic was proclaimed in Lviv. In January 1919, these two People’s Republic – united! But Donetsk-Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic did not join them for ideological reasons – the territory, where the story repeats after almost a hundred years” (ref.: Ukrainian statehood and lessons of history. Retort of Maxim Kononenko // http: // www. vesti.ru/doc.html?id=1718252&tid=105474).

Speaking of Crimeans’ citizenship, it is important to note that according to the Law of the Russian Federation № 99-FZ “Concerning the state policy of the Russian Federation relating to fellow nationals abroad” dated May 24, 1999 the Russian Federation is the only successor to the USSR. Therefore, none of the residents of the USSR could be deprived of USSR-Russia citizenship against his/her will. However, that was done in the Crimea against the will of Crimean people.

In response to these actions, the State Duma of the Russian Federation makes a statement “Concerning the attitude towards the decisions of the Supreme Council of Ukraine in regards to the Crimea” on March 22, 1995, condemning humiliation of the Crimean citizens’ will.
