Front edge

Explanatory observers who praise President Petro Poroshenko without reservation and critical wisdom, in Ukraine there are very few, which is quite natural. Journalists are a proud and strict people, everyone imagines himself a strategist, seeing a fight from the outside. Therefore, rare positive reviews deserve increased attention. In them, which is characteristic, soberly evaluates the inheritance that was obtained by the current president. "An empty treasury. Ruin ... 95% of agents of the influence of an enemy state in all power departments ... Parliament, fully controlled by an aggressor country ... Politics, 70-75 percent of which are either directly focused on the aggressor country or on the oligarchs that are focused on the aggressor country." And so on. This is written by Oleg Ponomar . It is impossible to disagree with his layout, and immediately a question arises, for the answer to which the years of research are actually required. Why did Russia, having in Ukraine an unprecedented livestock of secret and obvious, even demonstrative, agents, have not achieved its goals for so many years? Moreover, she did not meet, in essence, no obstacles, no resistance from from where it may be ...

No, no, and you stop-from confusion, or what? - That's what answer. Russia is a country where, as you know, everyone is up to a light bulb, including imperial goals. What do people live there? What are they doing in working and free time? We will not talk about those who are looking for, where and what to drink, or, somehow finding, indulges in this occupation. Let's look at the most important - at those who are sitting in the offices. What are they doing in service time, often grabbing and not official? Do not laugh me with a clue that they are baking there about the fate of the Fatherland, in particular about the realization of its great -power aspirations. It is best to take for example those with whom personally, in whose offices had to be.

Simplifying somewhat, we can say that. A person is busy with the fact that he listens to instructions, b) passes them down, d) reports upstairs about the performance. The instructions are received and reports are required almost every minute. But you are deeply mistaken if you think that this is all the innermost life of our acquaintance. He is truly busy with completely different: the device of his personal affairs, by profit-first of all. And all his bosses, and all his subordinates know this, because they themselves are the same. Not like that, in this case, fortunately for Ukraine. They saw and master the budget. They are not like Ukraine - to their native Russia, in fact, they have no business.

Now we look at Ukraine, at the Russian colony and column in Ukraine, at their personnel, especially at these, on the estate of the sewer, 95 percent in uniform and 70-75 percent-with the mandates of politicians, and at the same time-the percentage of the full-time agents of the Kremlin, who, for their service in the Ukrainian den, go in the homeland of ranks, awards and premium. Can anyone think that all these interest are trying less for the home, for the family than their brothers and comrades in arms in Russia? Here are their palaces near Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, here are cars, here are their Khatynka near Geneva and London - they think they were erected by themselves, without everyday vigilant master's trouble?

The main thing here is this. The construction of the state machine itself is in Russia, that - until recently - in Ukraine does not imply a conscientious, responsible, initiative service to the common cause, not to mention the performance of everyday official duties. Plus the widest scope for personal enrichment of a more or less noticeable layer of civil servants. All these years, the Kremlin did not only spare money for subversive activities in Ukraine, literally bombarded them with Nenka, and almost all of them went here, as they say, for personal needs. In such conditions, in such an environment there is one truly ideological, and besides, a working, quick-witted Service Service can do a lot. The role of the personality on this bezbier can be unexpectedly huge.

Grayness, winglessness - this is what the nomenclature of post -Soviet timelessness, stretched for almost a quarter century

Maybe Radeia about Ukraine, Providence and does not allow such harm to her, huh? Look at those friends of Russia that in recent years everyone is in sight. At least one can say that he is a man of business? There is a kind of pattern. The larger the Kremlin agent in Ukraine, the more solid by career standards, the more correctly he fails all that are most important for its owners, political enterprises. He definitely lacks something. There are outstanding organizational capacity - there is no political flair. There is a political instinct - there is no organizational capacity.

Grayness, winglessness - this is what the nomenclature of the post -Soviet timelessness, stretching for almost a quarter century. It was it, the timelessness, one might say, still retained Russia from the external and internal adventures destructive for it and, accordingly, saved Ukraine from the fatal neighboring embrace. Together, they seem to be happy for something in common, and everyone is somehow bored to contribute to everyone separately. He looks at the bosses - and in his eyes he sees the same boredom. The country seems to go crazy, her roof goes from love for herself, but in fact everyone is reluctant to do something for the Fatherland. If only a day until the evening ...

But this time ends. The Russian-Ukrainian war did what in Russia it seems to have struck or is about to break through an hour of obsessed, patronasis. By definition, as always and everywhere, they are born from the national principle, from a tribal feeling, from the background consciousness of national inferiority. Russian fascism, quickly ripening, creates a layer of idiots, ready to plow and die for the idea. When and if these people flood Ukraine, they will be able to cause it much more harm to it than their sluggish and mediocre predecessors. Among them there will be romantics and there are already what is dangerous. So far, what was said in Chekist everyday life? Well, what kind of scout are you in Ukraine? It's like once in the GDR or/and Bulgaria. It seems to be a abroad, but do not seem to understand what. Now it will be the front edge of the hybrid war.
