The Ukrainian spring

Hello, guys! Hopefully you are doing perfect today and your life continues being quiet and stable, because in my opinion nowadays it is the most important thing. Moreover, it is priceless.

I would like to dedicate my today’s post to the great topic, which has been already discussed before – the springtime. And it is not randomness: we have the real reasons for talking about it today. Now we are waiting for the last spring month, which actually seems to be like a part of summer, including the factual weather, and actually I need to say that finally the warm air has come! FINALLY! It is one of the best moments because nothing can be compared to exactly this air and this atmosphere. So it is the first reason.

Normally the springtime is special and unique as well as any other season of the year. And the springtime here, in my region, is even more special and unique these days than usually. In reality we have two different variants of spring of 2014: the spring in the whole world and the spring in Ukraine. And here goes the second reason. Personally I have faced such an extraordinary period of time in my native country at first. Yes, there have been some of them before (a so-called ‘Orange revolution’, a world crises, both economic and political), but this ‘phenomenon’ occurs to me for the first time and has impressed me most of all. Well, I need to say there is nothing surprising, because nobody can predict our ‘tomorrow’, even including the fact that everybody is eager to do that, and nobody can notify others in advance that something should happen in the nearest future.

So. Maybe it will sound like ‘wow’ for some of you, some of you just don’t care about this issue, but I am not sure that our nation and I should be happy about that. And I think now you can guess why I am saying so. The today’s topic is directly connected with the Ukrainian tragedy. I am saying ‘tragedy’ because I cannot find another suitable word.

We have mentioned the big trouble, which now is coming to each city, town and countryside – today I can call it ‘the worst consequence of the expression of people’s likes/dislikes’. In my opinion everything that is taking place in our country is a result of people’s egoism and egocentrism: they are fed up of the whole situation, of economics, politics, social instability, cultural and educational crisis and so on and so they have decided to declare about it. They do not want to see any government that can be like the head person of our state and I can agree with them at this point: Nazism and nationalism cannot be the best choice for a democratic state. They suppose and hope that they can solve any problem coming to the squares and different national establishments, but the main problem here is that with a help of such methods and strategies an amount of problems conversely is growing. And this situation seems to be invisible for them – they continue doing their deed. The accidents are happening per sample: I can say that the same story happens in each city or town like by default. I am talking about the recent developments connected with Maidan, riots, strikes and revolts, which are happening everywhere now, unfortunately. As the local proverb says, ‘shit happens’, but nobody could predict that such a huge amount of ‘shit’ would happen in Ukraine this year.

We can talk about this topic without the end, but anyway today my speech to you will be dedicated to a bit different side.

I want to tell you something that is happening in my house, nearby me. I need to confess you again and tell you for sure like in the previous posts, dedicated to this topic, we are against the war. WE, people, who like in the Eastern part of Ukraine, are against the war. And every time somebody (especially mass media are added here) will tell you that the Eastern Ukraine wants to be separate and come apart from the whole state, do not believe in it. I know that a lot of people suppose we are federalists and separatists, we are for a separation of our country, but it is not true. I know that a lot of people consider we are hiding the Russians and their troops in our places, but it is not true. Our people, who are presenting a hard-working, strong and calm nation, cannot be aggressive and angry. We cannot plan such a mean and artful damage of our native country. I live here and I know what is going on. We are for the piece. Unfortunately, our country, due to its history, has been created artificially and so people who are living here, in the East, extremely differ from people, who live, for example, in the West. It’s like two polar sides and it has been always like two different races, and that’s a reason why we cannot live peacefully with each other. And essentially we would like to fasten our hands using a friendly chain with Russian Federation and not only because it is our companion but also because our roots descend from Russians. Another situation happens in the Western Ukraine and the ground of it is clear: their roots are growing in a different place. And that’s one of the reasons why this situation with Maidan has happened. A complete split of society. Sadly, it’s a reality and I guess that one day it should come to pass here.

The only explanation, which can be given here, is going to become public today. The country that cannot gather people in one solid nation, full of patriotism and love to its fatherland, cannot be ‘happy’ and peaceful. And that’s all, that’s a cause of all the problems connected with internal conflicts and so-called civil wars. And I really do believe that exactly this is something that is going on in Ukraine.

Now I want to discuss one more aspect of this story. Believe me, a lot of different countries (including the countries of Western Europe and USA) think that they know our problems and their solutions better than we do. I can guarantee you that nobody (!), neither there, nor here in Ukraine, knows for sure the problems and the solutions. And by the way, I need to give an advice every person, who has a position in the local government of each country, which is giving their own recommendations and suggestions, not to be so sure that they can help. Nobody can find an exit from this huge maze nowadays. I need to state the fact that everything that is happening now, even if it has been in hand before, is uncontrollable today: the ‘script’, which has been written by someone, is not working now. People’s chain reaction has become unpredictable and so the ‘producers’ of that sad ‘movie’ called ‘La caduta di Troia’ (the last word should be changed to ‘Ukraine’ as you understand from the context) have failed. The only thing that we can do – pray for Ukraine.

Now we are waiting. We are waiting for a ‘happy end’ and for a better and safer future that it is now. I am convinced that one day it will come and all the conflicts and problems will be solved and finally our country will live in piece with the world and with each other. So take care of yourself and of your closest people and make piece, not war.
