Отрывок из книги

The reunion of Crimea and Russia that took place in March 2014 is a historic event. It has several consequences, each of key importance.

It is not only reestablishing of historical justice. Not only increasing the nation’s population and territory. Not only regaining the geopolitically essential Russian naval base. Not only helping our compatriots out of the dire straits they happened to be in, in accordance with the invariable rule of our nation – Russians never leave Russians, when they need help.

28 January 2014. Most of the “dictatorial laws of 16 January 2014” were cancelled by the Rada majority vote. The Party of the Regions – on Yanukovich’s command – voted for the abolition of the laws, which were adopted by the very same deputies only two weeks ago. These “laws of 16 January” were finally annulled on 31 January 2014 by a special decree of the President Yanukovich No.732-VII[55]. The same day the President accepted the resignation of the Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov and the entire Government[56]. After some time the President proposed the position of the Prime Minister to Arseniy Yatsenyuk. The latter has turned down the offer. His aim was to become a Prime Minister without Yanukovich, and he was ready to pay for this with hundreds of human lives during the unrest and the coup.

The demonstration took place in front of the building of the office of the President of Ukraine in Crimea instead of the central square of Simferopol – at this square an anti-Maidan rally started at almost the same time.[57]
