The results of the year. "Chronicles of the Painting"

Last 2012, Ukraine held Euro, for the most part successfully. She also held parliamentary elections and chose a new Radu - funny. At the first meeting of the new composition, we received a demonstrative fight and a demonstrative vote. The opposition, who, in this parliament, in theory, became more, showed themselves uncompromising radicals and ... did not prevent the regionals from holding their speaker. And judging by how events are developing, the party should not have any special problems in the new parliament. The first legislative project to which the radical and uncompromising opposition hastened to make their voters happy was the return to the passport of the sacramental 5th graph. This action will have noisy resonance and no practical effect, but it was expected exactly. But according to all forecasts, the regionals strengthen control over the parliamentary committees and actually monopolize the economic and financial blocs.

And just before the New Year, Ukraine received the old prime minister and - probably as compensation - a completely new cabinet of ministers. There are not so many familiar faces in the New Cabinet: political heavyweights like Sergei Tigipko, Petro Poroshenko and Boris Kolesnikov, for some reason, go into the shadow, but the first deputy prime minister was the hero of the New Year's Bilboards Sergey Arbuzov. “Family banker” from now on will become “right hand” by Nikolai Azarov and is seriously preparing in “successors”. It is difficult to say what the merger of the tax service with customs into the Unified Ministry of income and fees will turn out for Ukrainians, but another “family representative” was headed by Alexander Klimenko.

The most scandalous New Year's appointment was the coming to the office of the antiheroini of the latest elections of Natalia Korolevskaya. The failure "Spoiler" of the Royal "Ukraine - Forward!" He scored less than 2%, but the Royal received the Ministry of Social Policy at its disposal. What will it succeed in? Will she be able to return the money spent on the election campaign, or will she finally get the opportunity to fulfill her pre -election promises and bring the salaries of Ukrainians to a thousand euros? The question is rhetorical, but, as it may, from now on this Cabinet will have its own “scapegoat” for media. Until now, Dmitry Tabachnik played in this role. By the way, he also has not gone anywhere and is still responsible for science, education and good relations with Russia, but the royal is much funny. Now we will have more glamor, and in general it will be funnier.

The last year gave Ukraine two keywords: “Paragish” and “Hyundai”. "Painting", i.e. Improving life, was the motto of the former Azar Cabinet, with these “reddeneds” the Party of Regions went to the polls.

Hyundai high -speed trains were launched shortly before Euro, they were not very fast and very expensive, broke the usual schedule and insanely annoyed potential passengers. The whole railway story actually cost the ministerial chair the chief ideologist of Hyundai to Boris Kolesnikov, but the real meaning of the Hendy-Superior was determined in December-with the first serious snowfalls. Unheated South Korean trains stopped in the snowy Donetsk steppes, and as a result, the old Soviet electric locomotives of 1960 release rescued them from the snowdrifts. A photograph of the “improved Hyundai” went around all local blogs and forums, in fact, it became a symbol of the Azarovsky “Painting”. And if the Ukrainians were offered to choose the main plot of the year, most likely they would not be a football championship not won by demagogues, but really lost elections, but this miracle train of the 21st century, which stuck in the snow, attached to the Soviet electric locomotive.
