Ukraine

Can we now sat that Kiev is in the hands of far right militias?

Quite a victory for democracy that is.
 
Interesting that the "deal" that was reached for early elections and a "political roadmap" that those EU leaders negotiated counted for nothing.

who could possibly have seen that coming? Why it's almost as if the EU-backed leaders of the mainstream opposition weren't really in control of things on the ground.

I bet they're shitting themselves in the EU now. If there really is a power vacuum in Ukraine (which I'm not sure there is tbh) then how exactly is this going to pan out? What comes next? Just no government in Ukraine? how is that a viable option?
 
A Ukrainian cross country skier called Marina Lisogor who wanted to wear a black armband in Sochi to honour the dead has failed a doping test. Oops.
 
The people writing this are doing so primarily to convince themselves, I think.

"Keep telling yourself, everything will be OK, everything will be OK".
And then it will be our time. Exactly the kind of shite that allows the Right Sector to flourish unchallenged. The CP and the anarchists have between them utterly failed in engaging with all of this.

The communist parties in those countries are right wing, pro Russian, usually antisemitic and extremely corrupt. Since the collapse of the soviet union there's long ceased to be anything communist about them.

I know but it doesn't let them off the hook.

going by those reports theyre huddled in a tent afraid to go out, telling themselves the glorious dawn is just over the horizon
 
Still braver than you.

Im not accusing them of cowardice, the sheer scale of highly organised violence theyre up against makes going outside highly unwise . What Im critical of is the belief the scales will then drop from the masses eyes once the fascist agenda is exposed and theyll man the barricades for socialism .
If the fash take power theyll most likely wind up jailed or dead .
 
Apparently the Berkut have said they are "with the people" now, which I guess means at the disposal of the fash. But don't worry cos the Beeb don't mention any fash problems, just "pro-opposition demonstrators" who are apparently now being protected from "pro-Russian" types by the cops.
