The fake “separatist” movement was started by Russian money, Russian agents, Russian Mafia style tactics that included threats and bribes, the murder of Ukrainians, and finally, Russian troops. The people I know in the Donbas do indeed hate Russia and the invaders. The forced conscription of “volunteers” has greatly enlarged cemeteries in cities like
Alchevsk. The local engineers, city municipal workers, bureaucrats, and hospital administrators, are forced to join the party United Russia. Russia United does not sound very “separatist” does it? It sounds more like a Russian land grab and a natural resource grab.

The Only reason Elections are unconstitutionally overthrown is because they KNOW they cannot win legitimately. Obama sowed the wind…now we reap the whirlwind…
