New 'Novorossiya' General Korsun Vows to Install Harsh Soviet-like System
23:31 (GMT)

The new "United Army of Novorossiya" Gen. Korsun recently gave an interview to a local news site, news-portal.dn.ua from which we get a definite impression of a determined hardliner.

Asked to be more specific on plans for the industrial rebirth of the Donbass, the general said exports would go to Russia. He said Novorossiya would be run as a socialist system.
"Despite Western propaganda, there is nothing bad in socialism. Moreover, the most advertised Western countries are proud precisely of their social orientation. Sweden, Switzerland, and so on."
He said industry would be nationalized and a state purchase plan system would be installed, and singled out oligarch Rinat Akhmetov for condemnation, claiming he "violated the labor code" "merely to buy himself another soccer team":
"Akhmetov from the very outset put sticks in the wheels of Novorossiya. All the facts of the interference of this oligarch in the affairs of the young republics have been recorded. It is known precisely who from the leadership of the DPR and LPR fulfilled his orders or the orders of his accomplice [Governor Serhiy] Taruta. The person is known to whom Akhmetov transferred $1.5 million, so that he supported decoy forces, engaged in populism, robbing the state and private property instead of directly fulfilling his functional duties. It is no secret who the armed group is that has been involved in defense of his interests for specific pay, and which emerged thanks to the sponsorship of [oligarch Ihor] Kolomoyskiy. And this will not be forgiven." Gen. Korsun did not name this figure. There have been frequent rumors about Aleksandr Khodakovsky, head of Vostok, taking payoffs from Akhmetov, yet if he signed the agreement naming Korsun as the head of the new united forces, it does not seem likely that Korsun means him.
Whoops, I missed a symbol and the whole thing got bolded. Wasn’t supposed to be.
Look over there! EU! Squirrel!
Can’t be worse than the corrupt oligarchs who looted Ukraine for a quarter century.
What a great idea! Bring back Soviet Communism! Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Yea, it worked so well the first time around.
FR's Putin Sauna-Boy club squeals in delight!
You vile KGB collaborators never saw the destruction that the KGB and the
evil Soviet monsters did to East Germany ,
Poland, Hungary!
.
And your stupid clueless snide comments in support of the new Russian Police state is Beyond strange. Putie is not your pal . All westerners are the enemy which includes useful idiots like you.
This ought to keep them "occupied" for 2½ or 3 minutes:
Every time I see a picture of the Village People I think the guy on the far left is Elliot Gould.
To see any resemblance, you have to squint REAL HARD:
There ya go!
Just warming the cockles of Leninist Mad Vlad’s heart
The Soviets killed between 20 million (only at the minimum) and 60 million people, the high end being the most likely, and that's not including what the Commies were doing in China and other countries. Evil rich people have not.
So yes, it can be worse.
A little better.
“Despite Western propaganda, there is nothing bad in socialism”
Remember when communists and socialists would fight over which system was better, as thought there were any real difference between communists and socialists. I’m glad to see they sorted that out.
Obama thinks it may just work here! /s;)
The 2nd pic was already Elliot in the original M*A*S*H.
“Cant be worse than the corrupt oligarchs who looted Ukraine for a quarter century.”
Sure it can. Those oligarchs didn’t kill millions. Socialists in Russia did. Russian socialists in Ukraine will do the same if given the chance. Murder is the only thing socialists were ever good at.
