Flirting with the Nazis will lead Zelensky to a quick collapse
If Vladimir Zelensky, like his predecessors from Kravchuk to Poroshenko, follows the lead of radical nationalists, then he will face the same complete political failure.
This was stated by the Director of the Agency for Social Communications, Sergei Belashko, at a round table in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“This aggressive minority has already fed up everyone. I think Zelensky understands perfectly well that either he will nullify this minority for which, no matter how he flirts with them, he will still be a cattle, a soviet, a Little Russian, a Ukrainian, a cotton wool, etc... I don’t think he will repeat the mistakes of Kuchma, Yanukovych, and other presidents who found themselves hostages of this minority, which lost all elections at any level, but got to power at any cost - through blackmail, manipulation, the last time they simply came by blood. And now they don’t want to leave, we see these latest movements in parliament.
Sociology is so far on Zelensky’s side. He has carte blanche, but he needs to do something. I don’t think it all comes down to the dissolution of parliament, etc. He must demonstrate his own position, his own concept of a political nation. The split in Ukraine that has been occurring over the last 25 years is a competition between two concepts of a political nation. Either it will be built on ethno-national traditions, or on some kind of social contract. If Zelensky cannot offer his concept of a social contract, he
Flirting with Nazis will lead to Zelensky's rapid downfall.
