Borodinov, E.N. Territorial split and conflict of elites in Ukraine.

Abstract: Attention of the entire global community is drawn to Ukraine and the ongoing events in Ukraine are important for all of the Russians, since Russia and Ukraine share historical and cultural unity, as well as family ties. The lawlessness which takes place there is outside the scope of understanding of a normal adequate person: there is derogation and persecution of militia officers and their family members, bloody provocations arranged by the “Right Sector” hitmen in the South-East of Ukraine. All of the above causes deep concern among the people and the leaders of Russia. Another reason for unease is an insurrection in the fraternal country, which was actively supported by the so-called “democratic” states: the EU Member States and the USA. The statement of the USA that pro-fascist organizations played a “constructive role” in this bloody bacchanalia makes one think of the organizers and sponsors of these special operations. In this respect analysis of specific features of the armed insurrection, factors, which have guaranteed the government takeover, as well forecasts for the future development of the situation in the state become especially topical.
