Yeltsin’s policy towards Ukraine did not lead to anything good either. By the way, the real integration instead of fair words did not begin with Boris Yeltsin. The Customs Union, the Eurasian Union, starting its operation on January 1, 2015, – all these projects are of later time. The only truly integration process of the Yeltsin’s era was the establishment of the Union State of Russia and Belorussia, but it fully began to run later…

They were deprived of mandates, removed from mass media, was sentenced to probation. No preventive steps of the same kind with respect to the local elite were made in Ukraine. As a result, an accomplice and a colleague of Yanukovich – Petr Poroshenko, the former foreign minister and former minister of economics and trade, – became one of the main sponsors of the Maidan.

But the opposition started the first Maidan. 3 December 2004 the Supreme Court of Ukraine decreed that an unparalleled in all human history third round of elections should take place – as a new voting instead of that, which had taken place during the second round. Finally, Yushchenko won 51.99 % votes, while Yanukovich – 44.21 %. The results of the elections has divided Ukraine into two almost equal parts. Now it is obvious, that those were first steps to the civil strife.

It is a kind of a paradox, but it is true. It is an art of the “realpolitik” – not to let the Western propaganda make him a marginal monster – no matter how eagerly this propaganda tries to do so. And very many ordinary people in the world really respect and like our President.

At the moment, when the West did this, Yanukovich was a legitimate President who was overthrown by a coup. Whose accounts should be arrested by the “truth-lovers” from the USA, who were so fiercely arguing about the impossibility for Vladimir Putin to ballot for the third time in a row – according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation? Are not the accounts of those, who have violated, trampled on the Constitution of Ukraine, i. e. the putschists, or of the victim of the coup – i. e. Yanukovich? The correct answer is – of those, who ceased to serve the interests of the USA.
