Commentary by Russian blogger Donetsk

[DONRF] I have bad news for you - the Civil War is over. Seriously. Not only its participants died, but also their children, often their grandchildren. The Romanovs are no longer there, some fat gypsy is running around, saying that he is legitimate, but even stoned monarchists laugh at this. There are no Ulyanovs, there are no other heroes of the red side. The monuments remain. But not everywhere.

And this is where this story begins. A native of peasants, Komsomol member Alexander Khodakovsky, began to broadcast that it was impossible to return the names, and it was impossible to restore Soviet symbols. And just do it - you can't. All the youth believes in Christ, they will not fight with Lenin. You give decommunization, pans naked and forward - for braces, for Zhora Gypsy, for those functionaries of the Russian Orthodox Church who have not forgiven and not forgotten. Lenin mushroom in one word.

Do you know what the trouble is Ukrainians? They build the past according to the patterns of the 20s of the 20th century. With all its intolerance, Nazi social engineering, suppression of dissent and leaderism. Within this framework, there is no place for the period of the Russian Empire, the period of the USSR, and even the period of Ukraine.

Only 50,000 outcasts with Nazism in their heads, and the same outcasts after 2014. Such a society, like any other, with a monopoly on the idea, is doomed. Basically. Just like the USSR was doomed, exactly from the time when the only argument in the dispute was the denunciation.

We also have a lot of people who want to build Ukraine, including reds, whites, and even SBUs, like Scythian. And in vain. You can't wake up the demons of the past, you can't wake up ghosts, they want blood. Ukrainians have awakened Bandera. And now they are paying. Terrible price and not the fact that they will survive. And there is no need to repeat this valuable experience to us. Even if it is said by a media character for the purpose of self-promotion.

And the monuments in the city center need to be restored. If only because they were demolished illegally, and we are not bringing Bandera, not Vlasov, not Krasnov, but the law. Well, justice, and the destruction of monuments by galloping baboons was unfair. Another issue is ideology. It's difficult with her. More precisely, like ... We have it. In the form of hatred for each other of ideological people, calling in all voices of those same ghosts, and complete indifference of the townsfolk.

And you need ... The Civil War is over. The blood soaked into the ground. The bones crumbled to dust. We need to live. To build a state, taking the best from both the empire and the USSR, will finally reconcile and stop making faces, and think not only about the past, but also about the future. Otherwise, we will become scumbags. And why it is kindled at such a moment - I do not know. If I were a Khokhl, I would definitely kindle it.

#4  The premise of this article is that the Russian people aren't going back to either the days of the Czar, or to the days of the Red Ghost.
