Sergey MAKARCHENKO, deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly (LDPR): “I don't understand why Ukraine can't be treated like a younger brother. I also give money to my younger brother, and he sometimes runs to me for beer, and now what? Now, the first thing Turchynov came to, he calculated how much money he needed. So independent, what do you want? Your independence very quickly rests on gas prices, what you need money for. In any case - under Yanukovych, under Turchinov, the Bendera people will come, everything will rest on money and gas prices. It's very easy to be so independent. Here you sit and demand: the Russians should help, because we are Slavs, we should help the EU, because we want to be in the EU, the Americans should help, because then we will join NATO and remove the Black Sea Fleet. You somehow decide that you are there, like an affectionate calf sucking two boobs or something else.

Lev SHLOSBERG, deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly (RORPP Yabloko): “When Russia staked on Yanukovych, who, by his qualities, could not be president, he made a fatal mistake. This man did not pay attention to what was happening in the country. He positioned Ukraine as a European country and began to blackmail Putin, achieved a fantastic reduction in gas prices. There was a purchase of the loyalty of the people at the highest level. This scenario was created directly by Yanukovych, I don’t see any bony hand of the West and the USA here, only the president could infuriate the people like that.”

Viktor ANTONOV, deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly (United Russia): “The topic is extremely delicate, and it is categorically impossible to look for who is to blame from the very beginning. As Lenin said: the upper classes cannot, the lower classes do not want to. In addition, corruption, the colossal stratification of society, the dilettantism of managers led to these events. I know the position of the president and government of the country. The borders are inviolable, and Russia does not encroach on the borders of Ukraine, but is very concerned that there is anarchy, anarchy and pogroms today.”

Vasily KRASNOV, chairman of the Pskov regional branch of the Just Cause party: “To say that I am surprised by the actions and position of Viktor Yanukovych is to say nothing. When the first person of the state, for some reason, allows this in his country, this is a mortal sin. The head of state had all the leverage to avoid the Maidan, shooting, killings and other lawlessness. There was an opportunity to introduce a special situation in the country when the situation was just beginning to escalate. I am extremely sorry for ordinary residents and police officers, and especially for the mothers of the dead, because no one knows the true pain and sorrow of the mothers of the murdered children. We must make every effort to support all citizens of Ukraine who wish to move and live in Russia. It’s scary to see something like this in 2014, it’s an indicator that nothing is changing.”

Vladimir ZUBOV, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Pskov Region: “Any revolution must have a goal and a flag. At first they were united by the idea of European integration, then by the failure of the government. When it ended, they remembered that there is a Russian language. It is bad when there are claims to the subjective factor. Only in integration can each of us become stronger.”

Comments are given on the aggravation of the situation in Ukraine.
Andrey TURCHAK, Governor of the Pskov Region: “We all have done a great job, we have gone through a rather difficult path. We have something to be proud of, but this does not mean that we can relax. We must make sure that work in the social sphere, the economy of the region goes smoothly, without looking back at the upcoming election campaign. The legitimacy and openness of the forthcoming campaign depends on us. I call on everyone to work mode so that we can pass this period without losses.”
