[DARPA]

Message from the blogger "El Murid."

"Of all the predictions on November 2 was not confirmed most disturbing - kick APU on Donetsk and Luhansk on election day. Fortunately, this is a case where this can only rejoice. Clusters of people in front of polling stations - too varnish target for assassins to so simple miss the point.

Was it due to the almost open input columns unidentified equipment in New Russia, or under the carpet has sounded a warning from which it was difficult to dismiss - the question is immaterial. More importantly - what next.

Russia recognized the elections as promised. Recognition of the Republic remains a distant dream, and therefore the policy of "United Ukraine" remains unchanged. In what form it is presented from the Kremlin - hard to say. Combine independent territory and united Ukraine only character Robert Stevenson, who also could be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Schizophrenics, in one word.

Suspect the Kremlin in some elaborate and long-term strategy on this issue somewhat naive - if it could not create in 23 years, it is assumed that it arose out of nothing in six months, and even by the same personnel who failed all that can be, ridiculously . Rather, we can talk about some classic exchanges, which should provide for even a while the illusion of control over the situation. Then - yes, elections in the DNI and LC - just going to strengthen the position of the tender. Instead of politics as usual, political technology. As in '12 tightened rating premiere through swamp and then bow - it's better than these.

Russian Kuwait - Crimea - requires protection. Just because renting Crimea over the same things for Saddam Hussein ended the inglorious exit from Kuwait. Here the lessons of history are still fresh in the memory, so as not to draw analogies. Rather, bargaining and goes around the territory.

The second subject of negotiations and trades - transit route through Ukraine. Prior to the commissioning of the South Stream overlap it would be a disaster. By the way, and after entering the problem comes off, but such term thinking now completely pointless. The planning horizon - March. Hold on to him. There's another three months maybe about something agree. With such intervals planning to talk about the strategy - it's just sad joke. Here and there are no tactics, bare reflexes.

Nevertheless, people today was a real feast. Celebration of hope and celebration of relative peace and tranquility. You can and should be glad at least that. What will happen tomorrow - tomorrow and see. "

"Surf replenishment. Although unclear situation with the" truce ", go to the local militia with no less enthusiasm than before. In Donetsk, as always restless, occasionally heard explosions and machine gun fire, especially in the vicinity of the airport. The Cossacks continuing nightmare ukrov surrounded by 31 minutes post, the same fate will soon befall the 29th. Gorlovka have shootouts on the front lines, but with more armor ukry until owl. in Debaltseve militia struck a powerful artillery attack near the village of Chernukhin. in the village Geevka were skirmishes DRG militia and junta. "


Morning News Army Novorossia message.

"The situation remains tense. Avengers continued to ignore the agreements reached earlier armistice regime and the introduction of" Silence ". Fixed repeated violation of the armistice by the Ukrainian Punisher:

  Comment from blogger "El Murid."

"The reaction of the international community of democratic elections in the DNI and LC was predictable. Even in the UN was firmly stated that its chairman has not changed his opinion - let everyone vote the disabled, the sick and the lame - it violates the Minsk agreement, but because no one will accept no . The opinion of the people does not mean anything at all.

Nothing unusual in that position no. The standard practice of those who created the rules - for their all for others - the law. Talking-meaning is only to remind Russia that it is - the one who signed the agreements under Minsk, and it should perform all she would say. In the end, no one is forced to sign the piece of paper, and common sense. In February Lukin washed his hands, and we are not responsible for the coup in Ukraine. Now Zurabs signed - and the situation is diametrically reversed.

Russia realized and its rhetoric has changed smoothly. Now we "respect the choice of the people of Donetsk and Lugansk regions" and dryly state that in general they have been organized with the high turnout. Wordplay labeled accessories territories - the only thing that somehow still shows that Russia at affairs. These words can be assessed elections in Vanuatu, and even in the colony of royal penguins.

The main problem of this ostrich policy step forward - two steps back and three to the side - is that we not only do not achieve their goals, and eliminate known ways to achieve them.

The main argument justifying such a policy - we are weak, we need to buy time. Academician Primakov, incidentally, started this process by giving his famous interview on the situation in Ukraine. No doubt - the time is never enough. The only question is, what is it for us. If, in order to have time to build another pipeline, and three of the stadium for the next World Cup - is it worth so tormented and tormenting people?

Ukraine - only an episode in the war against Russia. On turn - Central Asia. Tough response to a coup in Kiev could not lead to the fact that going full steam ahead preparing for the launch of the war in Central Asia dramatically slow down - the US will have to revise their plans with regard to the policies of Russia and its immediate response to any attempt to set fire to our borders. But the betrayal of our interests in Ukraine instead of winning over time compresses it - West concludes that Moscow will make any concessions, "lishbynebylovoyny" - in the end we get a war where both faster. So fast that even do not have time to build a stadium.

But political strategists in Moscow have their opinion on what is happening. Show policy continues. The blood of people - just one of the elements of the show. "

03.11.14. 12:42. A brief overview of the situation of the militia fighting for the last few hours.

"In Donetsk again (12:30) heard exploding shells, and the morning was quiet. In the area of ​​Sand continuing clashes, heard work KPVT and small arms, over the area of ​​fighting the enemy constantly uses drones. We hear also breaks from howitzer artillery near takeoff strip airport, our artillery opened fire to suppress the enemy firing points. Alchevsk on Prospect Metallurgov heard MLRS work. from the side and from the Debaltseve Bahmutki-Kirovsk, windows tremble, is fire. Anthracite - not yet fully passed yesterday's euphoria of election , the city is preparing to open businesses and mines, otherwise quiet, sunny and frosty. Kostiantynivka - tense situation. dill set MRL, tanks and trenches dug near the center of the city, preparing to something. "


  Comments from military analyst Boris Rozhina.

"1. At the onset of the junta did not dare, it last 2-3 days after numerous warnings from the military Novorossia openly showed" Voentorg ", then the desire to tread on Donetsk, immediately reduced. Although the shelling continued, as actually fighting in district of Mariupol, Lugansk airport and under, will be decided on the power scenario plum elections, the junta did not dare, and now there are more other mood bordering on hysteria - Putin himself wants to attack and therefore pulls troops. In Moscow liberals mild hysterics over this and there ready to conduct a new "peace march".

2. The election was held at a sufficiently high turnout, with turnout voluntary - people quite independently walked on land once again to confirm your choice May 11. No avtomatichkov Zaharchenko or gunner Porechenkova drive people in the area were noted. In this respect, the election was a clear response to the junta, which claimed that "the terrorists to something forced the people." And the people went and voted with their feet against it lies. In this regard, the fascist propaganda is extremely difficult to explain the queue at sites and sufficiently high turnout, despite the war and the difficult socio-economic situation in the People's Republic. People still believe that their vote can decide something, and thereby show that the images of the New Russia and the People's Republic has already developed a large enough popular support. In this regard, we see how the idea originally purely virtual Novorossia and People's Republic of less than a year made ​​sense, supporters and set real ideology. Since the state is tightly folded, but people are trying to measure the forces.

3. In the election of leaders and DNR LC naturally won by a large margin Zaharchenko and carpentry. In this regard, Moscow got exactly what I wanted to legitimize the elections through those whom she wanted. All this was to be expected, therefore, hardly surprising. This issue was resolved not today, so that soon it Zaharchenko and carpentry will manage the DNI and LC. The idea of New Russia, which is Tsarev, yet laid aside, although some work in this direction is being too. According to deputies alignment will become clear later today.

4. Russia despite the various threats from Washington and Brussels to officially recognize these elections, reinforcing the legitimacy of the new / old regime. The pressure and the threat of the West in this case, change the position of Russia could not, therefore, those who waited for Russia as spring starts to ask to postpone the elections in their expectations deceived. As was clear even after Milan, Russia tightened its foreign policy, making it clear that unilateral concessions does not suit her.
In the end everything turned predictably - the West and the junta did not recognize the election (wait portions stink on "illegitimate election"), Russia recognized. The bottom left when all of its own, with all the same situation at the front. "
