The Statement of the Independent Students Syndicate of “Direct Action” Concerning the Russian Military Invasion into Ukraine [...] Of course, no doubt that yesterdays Ukrainian opposition, which today has become the power, is unlikely to be much better than the old power. The Maidan, where social demands began to sound after Yanukovych’s escape, already criticized the new power for serving the oligarchs. The new government is already doing it openly, appointing oligarchs for the posts of regional governors and making the Russian invasion the reason for it by saying that the oligarchs will “protect Ukrainian people”. Note also that the present military invasion might prove very useful for the new power, as the external threat overshadows numerous internal disagreements. In the presence of an external threat people begin to consolidate around patriotic and nationalistic ideas, and not around social issues, which is also very profitable for the representants of right and far right ideologies and for those in power. Moreover, in the case of preservation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine the new government will ascribe a multitude of merit to themselves, and even in the case of partition they will likely seem to be the “leaders” around whom the (remaining) nation will consolidate and whom they will support. [...] We will deal with Ukrainian far rights ourselves. direct-action.org.ua/1749
