Two ten years on struggle against the center, attempts to put on a level with Ukraine, loud statements and armed conflicts — all it for some months of hegemony of Party of Regions has transformed republic into ordinary area. Now it it is possible under a belly with foot as a sick dog — it will be afraid.

The political and economic elite of peninsula has become obsolete for the sake of own well-being. Are they Crimeans — deputies, ministers, officials, — if so have simply handed over theirselves and us on «favor» to the regional opponents who were not knowing never taste of struggle for statehood?!

The dreamboat of the party leader Oleg Tyagnibok’s «Freedom» about liquidation of an autonomy and transformation of the Supreme body into the regional has come true: de jure the republic and parliament exist — are de facto abolished new by «a power vertical». Crimea has risen in one number with Ternopolshchina or Lvovshchina, the higher representation body has turned to meeting obedient people.

Also by ears not nationalists, and zealous of «federalizators» this feint is made of Party of Regions. The twentieth anniversary of a reconstruction of Autonomous republic Crimea — with a black ribbon on the lowered a little flags and mourning music instead of a hymn. In studies the song about black from a carbon dust Donetsk steppes on January, 20th will sound. At solemn meetings (for «white-blue» while an unpleasant atavism to which it is necessary to reconcile) reports on achievements «thanks to government Dzharty» will begin to sound. On celebratory banquets severe chiefs appearance will notice the subordinate: «Stop, not a holiday — on houses!». In warm apartments, sitting at a cup of tea, in a circle of children and grandsons deputies of that convocation, sighing and groaning in an armchair, will remember the past: «Here, I remember, in 1991…». Remains nothing more — them, no less than other political eagles turned to canaries, time cunningly irrevocably on last local elections:« Sail, have torn a sail! I repent, repent, repent! ».

It is necessary to give to them due: there were only one defenders of republic — the Crimean Tatars, waitind for occurrences on an Ukraine map of a national-territorial autonomy. They try to butt till now with the center, their deputies, instead of «republicans» from «Russian unity» or «Union», is more selected in the Supreme body. Because they didn’t agree with the power — Tatars forced the power to search with them of meetings on beneficial terms. All the others searched for the surname in lists of «regionals» and their each offer began with «thanking…» . Servility is surprising and disgusting in comparison with years when under a pipe of Kiev danced only in Permanent mission of the president. Now a tap dance on a dying body of the Crimean statehood is dashing beat off in city councils, in Ministerial council, in the Supreme body. There already aren’t present Crimeans — inhabitants of Odessa, Donetsk, Makeevka, Dnepropetrovsk, Kremenchug. Their unctuous oath «We — Crimeans!» — compelled a crime for the sake of material benefit.

Well, tell, how a person from Donetsk or the inhabitant of Kiev understands an autonomy if anything similar in their life never was? Perhaps, it is possible to remember the republic Donetsk-Krivorog created in February. Unless Makeevka or the Dnepropetrovsk portfolio understands Crimean pers onat execution of a hymn of republic? Does the inhabitant of Odessa is proud of a raising of a Crimean flag of an autonomy? Well, what inhabitant of Kremenchug can easily declare: «We — not Ukraine»?

We — first of all Crimeans, instead of officials — «have voted» Crimea, the majority having preferred Yanukovych and to «a command of professionals». Such wasn’t neither at Kravchuk, nor at Kuchma, especially at Yushchenko: to hand over positions from the first touch — isn’t present, not aircraft, and so — the lame cavalry which have taken on a fright by curve jagged sabres. Neither Dzharty, nor one more Sergey Vasjutin looking beyond Crimea, Konstantin, Jatsuba, representatives CRO of Party of Regions — not «the persons especially approached to the emperor», they don’t do political weather — it for them is botched in the Cabinet, the Supreme Rada, by Presidential Administration.

As have been handed over on worry of the center of the Declaration on the state sovereignty of republic, the Certificate about declaration of the State independence of Republic of Crimea, the Constitution of Republic of Crimea from May, 6th, 1992. In exchange — colonial dependence: the budget, poor agrarian-recreational economy, absence of a pantheon of glory and, we will tell so, national idea, educated politicians. Anybody during the last years for an autonomy of Crimea hasn’t made anything of them — to People’s Deputies Deitch, Chernomorov, Grach, Perestenko, Kolisnichenko, Vernidubov laziness on a tribune to leave, without speaking about a writing of bills of powers of republic. Such, despite party coloring, year after year tightened a hinge strain on a neck of peninsula and have created an image «mother’ s son».

Anybody from them because of own greed and cowardice won’t tell that the deputy of the Lvov country council Yury Mihalchishin one of these days has declared: «We are Bandera army will pass Dnepr, will pass Donetsk, and will throw out that blue gang which usurped today the power, from Ukraine».

Here also it turns out, can reject pressure of imperious colonizers, defending at least cultural and in some measure political independence of Kiev (read — Donetsk ). Independent Crimea obeys each gesture of the center, having inclined the head, were about ten-fifteen years ago the violent. Here also it is necessary to mark the next anniversary of a reconstruction of republic «with tears in the face».
