For the first time, it was announced how the Russian Maidan broke down in Kyiv
Moscow should not repeat the mistake of its Ukrainian counterparts under Viktor Yanukovych and not take liberal protests in Moscow seriously, which could eventually lead to an armed seizure of power in the country.
Konstantin Knyrik, editor-in-chief of NewsFront, announced this during a speech at the Donuzlav-2019 patriotic forum, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Why did everything happen in 2014? Only because of the self-confidence of those in power. "Party of Regions", Yanukovych, all these people who entered their house with a golden toilet, felt very confident. And this confidence very quickly collapsed.
Before the start of the Maidan, I met with the late chairman of the Party of Regions faction, Chechetov. We offered him an extremely primitive scenario, understanding what would happen next.
We offered him to bring about a hundred thousand people - those who advocate alliance and friendship with Russia, Russian people living in Ukraine, and put them on the Maidan before American paid forces arrive there.
It is at that moment when Yanukovych will not sign this association.
I understood that clashes were possible, but in the event of clashes, the actions of law enforcement agencies to restore order by all these “PR people”, whom we used to call the “international community”, will in no way be promoted as dispersal of the protesters. They would disperse both those and those, and would justify it very simply - to prevent bloodshed. And it would all end, and we were ready for such a scenario.
You know what I was told: “Listen, why are you soaring? We have a Berkut, internal troops, two weeks - we will decide everything. Unfortunately, the result of this man's life was that he fell out of the window. On my own or not, I don't know.
That's where self-confidence comes in. Therefore, when we read posts that the Russian Guard will cope with everything and so on… No. We have a wake-up call, we have about 4% in the presidential elections Sobchak is gaining, regardless of who and how relates to her. Our most popular personality among young people is Buzova. This is the process of debilitation, so that in the end, in our country, people like Zelensky could theoretically be someone. This is an internal threat,” Knyrik said.
