A quick thesis. For it I already can be jailed, but I am not, however, afraid. During my Facebook activities I have already said enough to get several prison terms.

1) We were waiting for this. We knew this even yesterday. Yulia Tymoshenko told us about this six months ago. This power is unnegotiatable. It has taken the principle and ultimate decision to hold on to power by all means. Even in totalitarian regimes in North Korea there are no such rules as they adopted. At least there are no rules, as we have, that in case of danger the authorities can take cover behind children. This means that they never give up. It’s the thundering mix of police and state terror.

2) We need to forget about any policy in its classical sense, where decisions are achieved by compromises and agreements. They are impossible. There are absolutely no prospects for the elections. No political perspective exists at all. Yanukovych has destroyed politics as a sphere of human activity in Ukraine. You wanted no politics – here you are: “without politics.” Anything that manifests any kind of political signage will be repressed. The courts will make judgments in a conveyor’s regime, and security officials – will pack everyone into jail in the same conveyor belt way, as well. If the security forces refuse to obey orders, the new SA storm troopers are at their disposal, the ones that are interestingly called, “civic organization Stronghold”. The world has seen this only once in history – on the island of Haiti, where a crazy satanist president led an institute of Toton-Macoute.

3) Anyone who has even a tiny bit of charisma and ability to manage people should be on the Maidan. I do not care who they are. When the time comes, we will need all of them. Just yesterday the protest could be peaceful. From now, it could become a massacre at any moment. We should not start it first, but our main slogan today should be: “Speak softly, but carry a big gun”. Our big guns could be the Legal sector, the military who obey the criminal orders, the security services (oh yes, I know that there are no former Party of Regions members). We need everybody. Because, otherwise, we will not walk the streets of cities, but a giant concentration camp, where people are free, not because they are innocent, but because the arms of the all-powerful KGB have not reach them.

4) The opposition must take all responsibility. No matter which, collective or personal. If they can’t, then let them free Yulia Tymoshenko, or at least arrange direct contact between her and the Maidan (oh, don’t tell me this is not possible). She has shown that she is able to analyze the situation more deeply, and to plan further actions, while in prison. Make it so she has all operational  information and she will once again help win the election, as she did in 2004, when she herself went on the gun ports. If there is naturally some third leader – then please, this is your hour of triumph. You can finally step out of the shadows and show that you’re a leader. Otherwise, we will live in a country where there are no leaders, just a lifetime president … No, already a tzar- king –emperor.

Do we want to live in such a country ?

I – do not want this. I think this choice is obvious. What about you?
