>>>My dad said they should’ve cleaned the apparatchiks offices with a Kalashnikov in 1991, start with new people, like in Chech Republic. But no, they went with “stability” that the old communists supposedly offered. Ukraine looks very stable about now<<<
Who are these “new people”? Communist apparatchics are certainly not a single breed of bad leaders in this world.
In order to have a a normal society, Ukrainians has to develop a sense of responsibility.
If you are going to revolt and put another Czars to office, just to replace previous, who hasn’t met your expectations it is no more than that said circles.
Authorities are a shadow of society in the first place. Corrupt officials are coming from that same societies. A position of power is that makes difference with the rest of the population. Being an inept crook is not coming with a parliament member card.
I like this post better, nothing really to disagree with.
After each crisis (1991, 2004) there was hope that Ukraine will be a state ruled by law, but this didn’t materialize. Each infraction of the law should have been confronted, rather than tolerated until it became unbearable and exploded. Additional factor today is that there are casualties, so maybe, that will be more of a motivation to obey the law in the new post-crisis Ukraine. I do pray they wise up
