Kyiv events in 2013-14 Ukrainian official historiography calls the revolution of dignity, Russian - a coup and seizure of power; Everyone himself is free to decide which of these definitions more adequately describes what happened five years ago in Ukraine, but what is undoubtedly-it is our, “Russian Russian” political language that does not have the special term, which would indicate what happened that winter, and this was also a revolution-the entire former domestic policy was canceled, the political spaces of Russia and Ukraine united at first, and then really. What happened in Russian politics in 2014? The accession of Crimea, the “Russian spring” in the eastern regions of Ukraine, shooters in Slavyansk, the House of Trade Unions in Odessa, Mariupol, the Boeing Malaysian, boilers and graves of Pskov paratroopers - Moscow political news against such a background, in principle. What (except for Ukraine) was talking about then in the State Duma? What were loud resignations or appointments? What was Putin asked about on a “straight line”? What, in the end, then wanted to ban the deputy Milonov? Nothing is left, everything is buried under Ukrainian affairs.

On some of the last turns of the election campaign this spring, Petro Poroshenko’s headquarters throughout the country, and then quickly removed, recognizing the posters with an unsuccessful advertising course, on which the current Ukrainian president stands face to face with his main opponent-not Vladimir Zelensky, but Vladimir Putin. This, of course, is an excessive manipulation, which, as we have accepted from about the same year, were immediately ridiculed on the network , and then Peskov even commented on, but in fact, Poroshenko only timidly repeated the same thing that the Kremlin made five years ago, replacing the internal policy of the foreign one. The popular marketing tricks of provincial merchants at that time (“Barack Obama is prohibited into our Cheburac entrance) - it was not at all as ridiculous as it might seem. In a matter of months, Russian society then imposed a new political model in which the authorities can only be opposed from outside.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
