What awaits Ukraine after the Maidan? This question is being asked by millions of people. And not only Ukrainians, but also Russians, Belarusians, Poles, residents of Western Europe and even the USA. And this is understandable, because, in addition to the direct participants in the events, there are many people connected with them by family ties or simply sympathizing. And someone is simply interested in financial profit, which can be easily obtained in the "muddy waters" of the revolution, making money from the supply of weapons and various low-quality products. And someone invested money in the Maidan and now grabs his head, not knowing how to return it, waking up in horror at night from the shots outside the window, panicking: suddenly it is the Russians entering the city in a tank. In this article we will try to figure out what awaits Ukraine after the Maidan. And how can this end for revolutionaries and just residents of this country. Consider various scenarios.
First loss
So, the revolution has just begun, and the map of Ukraine has already changed. After the Maidan, Crimean residents declared themselves loudly. We all know how this ended: according to the results of the referendum, Crimeans became citizens of the Russian Federation. And let the interim government declare that this is a forceful invasion of Russian troops, but people, leaving the polling stations, staged real festivities. And this, you see, is talking about something. And let the presidential candidates of Ukraine promise to return Crimea, all this will remain only in words. Well, the first losses are already there, but this is not the end. Consider several versions of what awaits Ukraine after the Maidan.
Version One - Unlikely
Everything will quietly quiet down, elections will be held in the country, a new and worthy president will appear. He will not be actively involved in raising the material condition of his family, but in creating jobs, and not in the retail and entertainment sector, but will lift production and agriculture off his knees. Of course, Crimea cannot be returned to him, but the people will forgive him for it. However, this is all utopia, as practice shows, namely the history of world revolutions over the last, let’s say, about 500 years. Such upheavals do not end peacefully, and therefore we go further.
Version two - has the right to exist
For most people who are wondering what awaits Ukraine after the Maidan, this option will be one of the most tragic. Indeed, one of the most promising scenarios for the development of events is the collapse of the country into small principalities, which will subsequently be captured by aggressive neighbors. Already now the east of Ukraine is openly declaring that it is not on its way with the interim government, which is pushing the country to integrate with the European Union. Residents of Kharkov, Donetsk, Lugansk require a referendum and the withdrawal of these areas from Ukraine. And there is already spilling blood. Similar requirements are put forward by residents of Odessa and Nikolaev. So the collapse is quite possible.
But what about the neighbors?
Politicians of neighboring states are already starting to show their true face and are preparing to share this greasy cake. So, from the side of Hungary there are statements that the Transcarpathian region has never been a part of Ukraine, that it is originally Hungarian lands. And the Poles suddenly remembered that Lviv is a Polish city. Romanians begin to recall that Joseph Vissarionovich took Bessarabia from them. What can one say about Russia, because the southeast of modern Ukraine is exclusively Russian cities built under Catherine II by her favorite Potemkin, who had previously cleared these territories from Turks and Crimean Tatars. There you go. They hardly thought about how to share Ukraine after the Maidan Tyagnibok, Klitschko, Yatsenyuk and other organizers of the revolution. Although it is possible that they all perfectly understood and still took this step. Indeed, in united Ukraine there is only one presidential chair, but in a fragmented one there are many …
Third version: and this can be
The nightmare of all revolutionaries - Viktor Yanukovych returned. Of course, it’s scary, because not only will it punish, and how (the trial of Yulia Tymoshenko is remembered by everyone), the golden loaf will have to be returned, and not only the loaf. And everything has already been exported abroad. How to be? And Viktor Fedorovich can drop by his neighbors in the country … After all, not only he had a “hut” in Mezhgorye: most revolutionaries have real estate there too. Ugly it can turn out. Perhaps Yanukovych will restore order in the country, but the term of his presidency is coming to an end, and he is unlikely to be elected to a new one.
Version Four - I would not want to
"What could be worse than the fragmentation of the country?" - the reader will ask. There is only one answer: a full-scale civil war. War, if any, is precisely civilian. Americans or NATO will not come to fight against Ukrainians. The people will be pitted among themselves, and brother will become brother to brother, son to father, etc. After all, politically the country has long since split, almost every family has adherents of the idea of European integration and its opponents. And the war is slowly flaring up, now blood is pouring in the east, at any moment it can blaze in the south, and then it will cover the whole Square. It is unlikely that hundreds of students in heaven, dying from a sniper bullet, understood what awaits Ukraine after the Maidan. Most of them were idealists seeking to overthrow the Yanukovych regime. Most likely, they did not think about more.
Special Forces for "Special Orders"
In the near future, such units based on the Ministry of Internal Affairs are planned to be created throughout Ukraine. The number of this special department will be approximately ten percent of the total police force. Most of all, the current employees are not outraged by the extra-high salaries of this unit (from 10 thousand hryvnias), but the fact that they will recruit fighters from it with a citizen, without a medical examination (narcological and psychological testing). And also, that, probably, the most important thing, candidates with “insignificant” criminal convictions are allowed. It would not hurt citizens to think about why, in fact, the current government is creating such special forces, what kind of “special assignments” it is, and why such high salaries have to be paid. Is it not for the reason that these fighters will be engaged in the liquidation of those who are objectionable or by knocking out money from entrepreneurs, so to speak, for the needs of the revolution? What awaits you, Ukraine? What will happen after the Maidan? Let's see, life will show.
The fate of the revolutionaries
So, we examined what Ukraine can become after the Maidan 2014, and what awaits the initiators of these events? As they say, let them be healthy and well-fed, and yet … The organizers of the revolution can also be overtaken by heavenly punishment. After all, not a single world revolution ended in peace for its leaders. Take the Great French Revolution as an example: it went well, of course, but all its leaders ended their lives on the guillotine. They were so carried away by the search and extermination of dissidents that they themselves did not notice how they were beheaded. Its main "committee" Maximilian Robespierre did not escape the same fate. The same situation was with the revolutionaries of the seventeenth year of the last century. Once again, a “witch hunt” was organized, as a result of which the revolutionaries destroyed themselves.
Death even overtook Leo Trotsky, who fled to Mexico. The reader may object that humanity has changed since then, citing examples of floral revolutions of the last decade. However, facts are a stubborn thing; they simply cannot be thrown back. The whole world heard the news of the liquidation of Alexander Muzychko. What is this if not settling accounts between clans fighting for power? After all, the command to detain one of the leaders of the Right Sector was given by the Minister of Internal Affairs Avakov, a supporter of the revolutionaries. It was unlikely that this was his initiative; most likely, he himself received a command from above. So the "witch hunt" has already begun? Is this why special forces are being created for "special assignments"?
