Our mass
media are reporting every single day the news of Ukrainian integration to EU. Honestly, this news is a bit tiresome
now. I understand that the most important top-information should be one and
only, but an amount of such materials that are given by our information
agencies, newspapers, magazines and so on is enormous! And the causes of this
tendency are quite easy to realize.
The thing
is that we have just made a decision of not entering EU. This question has
stayed opened for some time and finally our president has told his verdict and so our government had made this
decision. And now they are suffering from it. People are becoming crazy; they
are ready to do a real revolution
and the consequences of this action don’t bother them – brave and desperate. I have
a feeling that they have received a right of voice in the end. And now they are
not standing for a great idea – they are standing for a show, a performance! I
guess that a percentage of people who are really adherents of our integration
to EU is small, unfortunately small. I can understand them, they have a big
desire to enter the better world, and it is a good intention. So I suppose that
their purpose is to show our government
that they have their personal opinion that can take place in independent
democratic nation. But this step is spoiled by another part of people. Thus this
is a category of people who are visiting Euromaidan
because somebody promises to pay them money. And some of them even want to
have fun there – this fact is absolutely ridiculous! And the most incredible
thing is that no one from 1,6 million people can recognize our main problem: we cannot be as Europeans
because our country is not well-prepared for this big change. We are ‘too young’
for it. The level of life, law, government, rights of citizens – everything is
different.
I remember
my first ‘international experience’. When I was 6 years old, my parents and I
were travelling to Poland by car.
The memories of that trip is still alive and my child’s impressions are so big
that I still remember my amazement when I saw a lot of clean streets and tidy houses,
green lawns, beautiful parks with safe benches, smooth roads – everything
seemed to be dolls’ and perfect. And I felt this difference between our towns and cities and their ones. The
difference was unbelievable! And even now, when 13 years passed, almost
everything stays the same. Surprisingly to be.
And now we
even have a worse situation – we have a big disorder that has appeared suddenly and we cannot see a solution!
The vision of it should be objective and real, but due to the fact that people
are dreaming about Europe, they begin to organize these
strikes and riots – they don’t like a decision of our president and they don’t want
to listen to anybody. I am not telling that the decision is right or wrong and
these people behave good or bad; we are talking about another thing.
We have a massive attack in Kyiv
and nobody can stop it! Moral and law are weak because they have to deal with
society – with a big crowd that is mad and that is prepared for anything, for
any other action! Nobody could imagine that we would have such a reaction. And so now nobody can predict
what can be done for escaping this big political and social problem. This is
like a tragedy. But the reality is so: we are not ready to live the same as in Europe
and it is true. The government cannot decide what to do with Euromaidan’s
actions and so because of their despair they resort to extreme measures.
It is a vicious circle for now: no solution, no
justice, no understanding. People want to have a new better level of life even
having these problems now. Sounds illogical. Ukrainian citizens know that we have a plenty of problems, not only
this story with euro integration. And they also know that our economic and
political states have problems too. So what can we do? Probably we need to wait
for the better times, who knows. Time will put everything on its place.
