Ukraine declared war on multiplication table and ability to think

Education is contraindicated for Maidan and post-Maidan countries. In order to participate in "color revolutions" and especially support regimes formed by them, only armies of slaves, utterly unable to think, are needed. Ukraine, where the situation with education and science was already worsening in recent years, decided to play safe and further "cut" the program of education of children in the lower grades. Even the multiplication table is to become a victim of the reforms. In record time, up to 2 months of methodical work, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine considerably reduced the primary school program for the territories controlled by official Kiev. Young Ukrainians,...

The Economist editor: West is exhausted, the worst is ahead, Putin is pleased

The West is facing with serious challenges which objectively play into the hands of Russia and no one knows how to cope with. It was stated in his newspaper column re-posted in the magazine "Ukrainian Tyzhden" by Edward Lucas, the senior editor of the British newspaper The Economist, known for his openly anti-Putin stance and considered one of the apologists of a new "Cold War".

Timoshenko, Firtash and Akhmetov recruit right radicals for the autumn

The influence groups controlling the Ukrainian trade unions are interested in bringing to their side right-wing radicals, which is evidenced by the joint action in Kiev, held by the trade unions and the Civil Corps "Azov". Such an opinion was expressed at a press conference in Kiev by Ruslan Bortnik, the Director of the Ukrainian Institute of Policy Analysis and Management, who noted that the Ukrainian trade unions are controlled by three groups of influence. 'Relatively speaking, these are Tymoshenko's group, a group of Firtash and, partly, a group of Akhmetov. All these groups, in one way or another, do not have a sufficient power support. Their political representatives enjoy electoral support and they also have the media, but they lack the power shoulder. We saw Timoshenko supporting the "Svoboda" in the situation with throwing a grenades near the Verkhovnaya Rada, and then supporting the "Ukrop". People controlling the trade unions are interested today in attracting the...

Primaries in Donbass as Kiev's last chance to perform Minsk Agreements

Holding primaries in Donetsk is the DPR necessary measure which is in no way contrary to the Minsk Agreements. It is said by Denis Denisov, the director of the Ukrainian branch of the CIS Institute, when he was evaluating the statement of the DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko on the beginning of the process of preparing a national public voting (primaries) in Donetsk. 'Holding primaries in Donetsk is more than logically justified. It is a necessary measure, rather than a desire to symmetrically answer Kiev representatives on their sabotage of the Minsk Agreements implementation. Zakharchenko emphasises in his statement, 'since we still have a hope, even if it is very small, that Kiev will, after all, fulfill its obligations in accordance with Complex of measures, we will not yet hold elections and limit ourselves to the preliminary stage. The Head of the DPR leaves official Kiev a chance to implement their commitments without the loss of reputation, which the leaders of...
