“The gunpowder robots have adopted the tactics of Maidan opponents from 2014. They actively criticize the new government for the slightest mistakes. In the style of “well, we warned you.” They are trying, well done, everything is fine, but there is one problem - they forgot to make an adjustment for reality.

In 2014, the transfer of power was accompanied by a mass of undeniably unconstitutional decisions, the collapse of the economy, the loss of Crimea and the outbreak of a fire in the Donbass. Then there was no question: is there anything to criticize for or not? The question was: tell the truth or remain silent for reasons of political expediency?

Now... nothing happened. All the power of Poroshenko’s times is in place. Although the parliament has been dissolved, it has not gone away - the old government has a majority there, which I see Zelensky publicly and rather cynically. The Cabinet of Vinnytsia reformers is also in place, as is the alcohol prosecutor without specialized education and all the other officials. The power has not changed in many respects, either de jure, and certainly not de facto. Even Pyotr Alekseevich does not run around for interrogations, did not fly to Rostov, but still flashes in the media, throwing up his hands. The gunpowder bots are pretending that we are almost having a coup d’etat here with executions in stadiums. And they criticize Zelensky for... shawarma,” the journalist writes.

“Something tells me that Poroshenko will miserably lose the second elections,” sums up Vyacheslav Chechilo.
