The political scientist stressed that the economic ties between Donbass and the [political] center of Ukraine were the one last element sustaining the integrity of Ukraine. Now, the Ukrainian side “unilaterally cut these ties”.
“Madmen did it [started the blockade of coal shipment – Rossa Primavera News Agency]. The madmen, who, on the one hand, are talking about their wish to have Donbass with them. On the other hand, they are pushing Donbass away as firmly as they can, they are cutting off everything and pushing it [Donbass] in the opposite direction. A madman is more dangerous than a villain. The worst situation is when one is both madman and villain,” Sergey Kurginyan summarized.

During the show, Sergey Kurginyan noted that when the relevant elite refuse to act instead of joining the people, ordinary people take their place. “Akhmetov should have been on the side of his rebellious people, of his miners, on the forefront. If [he] had been on the forefront, he would have his business and everything afterward. But at that moment, he tried to sit on two chairs,“ the political scientist said.
“Zakharchenko was nothing comparing to [the President of Ukraine Viktor] Yanukovich. In this lies the revolutionary situation,” the political scientist noted. “This is the mechanism by which revolutionary leaders emerge. How did this mechanism develop? It became possible because the relevant elite acted like cowards and refused to act, started crying and whining. And then the ordinary people came. They took power. They are not perfect; they are not absolute, they do what they can. But they do it, and this is what happened in all of the flashpoints.”

Yes, it is possible that the life in Ossetia [could have been easier] if [Ossetians] decided to resign themselves to Georgia’s control thus giving up the Ossetic language and much more, ceratin essential things. But peoples defend their right to live they see fit. They [peoples] defend this right, and the heroic people of Donbass are defending this right themselves. That Russia is supporting them [the people of Donbass] in every legal way is a secondary question. If they [the people of Donbass] did not want to defend this right, they would not have defended it
