Russians boil with indignation. Not only sovereign and nationalists bruised by imperial propaganda are outraged, but also people of more or less liberal views. The reason for the indignation - Ukraine banned the entry of male citizens aged 16 to 60 years to their territory.
The anger of Russians is not supported by argumentation, it is more emotional than intelligent. However, nothing else is required from anger. How is it and suddenly not to let us into Ukraine? And if we need? If you really need?
Mikhail Khodorkovsky appeals to the Ukrainian authorities with a request to "solve the problem that has arisen." No, he perfectly understands that "the desire to protect his country from mercenaries in an undeclared war is understandable and legal." This is a rational part of his position. Then the inexplicable begins: "However, in practice, this decision and numerous excesses on the border, which eyewitnesses are talking about, frightened tens of thousands of ordinary people, force them to change their personal, family plans." That is, the riots inspired by Russia in Eastern Ukraine are, of course, not good, but the fright of ordinary Russian people on the border and violation of their family plans is already serious. This is wrong. And a completely murderous argument: "Moreover, on the eve of Easter."
To pull off the Easter of the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine and inflate a fire of civil conflicts in the Donbass is one thing, and not to let men of "combat-ready" age from the country of an aggressor is completely different. It seems like we are peaceful people, for what? We have nothing to do with it!
The journalist Nikolai Troitsky, a permanent guest of the Echo of Moscow, who called this decision of Ukraine paranoid and schizoid, also performed Yarrotny. Here, however, there are already no serious arguments, but only a stream of muddy consciousness and dirty battle. No, one argument was still found: "The special services agents will penetrate anyway, in any case, and in any number-if they suddenly want." It’s how to get a laugh at the person who put the lock on the door of his house: "We will open your apartment anyway if we want." And if he does not understand this, then a psychiatrist should do it. Troitsky writes so. According to his mentally healthy (at least he thinks so), the "brainless bosses" in Kyiv seriously believe that the GRU special forces are operating in the Donbass. Why in the Donbass the story that has already happened in the Crimea cannot be repeated, Troitsky does not explain. Although his President Vladimir Putin admitted that the Crimean "green men" - domestic production.
Trinity is the most worried about this story that now "normal, honest, decent people will not be able to come to Ukraine." And so they think in Russia, as I understand it, are very many. Not only those who, like Nikolai Troitsky, are looking forward to being “remained from the former Ukraine,” but also those who sincerely wish her independence and prosperity.
In the blurred slave consciousness and in absolute inability to feel personal responsibility for the actions of their own power, these people do not understand that there are no normal, honest, decent people in Russia in relation to Ukraine. All citizens of Russia who have not abandoned Russian citizenship and pay federal taxes (including the maintenance of power structures), bear their share of responsibility for what is happening today between Russia and Ukraine. This share is different for everyone, but you can’t get anywhere from the common guilt for Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Most of our fellow citizens do not understand his responsibility and sincerely offends the ban on entry into Ukraine. So Nikolai Svanidze believes that this is nonsense, and Mikhail Fedotov, as they say, prepares an appeal to the OSCE due to the restrictions on the entry of Russians introduced by Ukraine. Offended! We tear the shirt on ourselves and stab ourselves in hysteria - we only took away part of the country from them, and they do not let us travel!
We do not quite understand that Ukraine and Russia are actually at war. The Russian army occupied the Crimea, and after the low -residential procedure of the "referendum" the peninsula was annexed to Russia. The war can be called "conflict", annexation - "restoration of historical justice", military special forces - "green men" or "unknown", but the essence of what is happening from this does not change. The normal reaction of the warring country is the complete closure of borders with its military enemy. The natural measure of protection, not very reliable and not the only, but still necessary.
A little more - and our court human rights defenders will demand from the whole world to ensure the right to freedom of movement for Russian military, including with weapons and without identification marks. Especially in foreign territories that are not yet quite Russian, but not very foreign.
