Roma and his like-minded people – I’ll explain what the Maidan is for. Don’t talk nonsense about 4 years of enduring hardship and about Vradiivka; ordinary people have always been dissatisfied, but people without money won’t start a revolution. For all these 4 years, not only ordinary people but also small businesses have been suffering. Vik writes here that there are no real examples; come to Kyiv, and I’ll tell you a dozen examples of when a real business, operating for a certain number of years, has employees, a market share, and prospects, and then the authorities in black masks come, block its operations (legally, through fabricated court decisions) for a certain number of weeks, and it doesn’t matter that you, as the owner, are incurring losses, and your counterparties are also incurring losses, it doesn’t matter about the jobs and the people who fill them, who won’t receive their salaries and will go to the market to look for work? Who cares? Pay 50+1% to the “family” and continue working. Okay, you stole in the 90s, but they mostly don’t touch those people; people who didn’t sleep, didn’t eat, didn’t see their families, but created and built, endure this, and then the “smart” authorities come and say, “Give it up voluntarily, or we’ll take it anyway, legally.” And how long can you endure this? And then they find judges and their families with their heads cut off for their “legal decisions.” And I would understand if all this bloodshed was for the benefit of ordinary people, but no, the authorities are just filling their insatiable appetites. And they don’t care at all about our children, whom we can’t even get into kindergarten, and it won’t be any better anytime soon.
I won’t talk about ordinary people; things will always be bad there, as long as things are better somewhere. And the people always become a bargaining chip in the struggle for power. I want to talk about the driving force. I understand that even Robin Hood robbed the rich and gave to the poor, but he kept 80% of the taxes for himself, but he remained in people’s memory for centuries, and our current leaders can’t even last one term. You say there is no candidate? There is a candidate, but he has something to lose. This is a person from the real business world with a clear mind, extraordinary abilities, and an untarnished reputation. He is not positioning himself for power right now, but give him time, and he will come. And the Maidan is needed to create a “wow” effect, to show that the people are at their limit, “just in case.” Is it not clear that the decision to go or not go to the EU was just a spark that ignited the flame!?

Evening dialogue with one of my friends:
[23:34:59] Peter: I’ll be in Kyiv next week
[23:34:59] Yura: Oh. Will you go to the Maidan?????
[23:35:15] Peter: yes
[23:35:33] Yura: And for me
[23:35:41] Yura: I have thoughts there
[23:35:46] Yura: Take some pictures
[23:40:36] Peter: well, if they haven’t dispersed yet, I’ll take some)
[23:41:29] Yura: They won’t disperse until spring
[23:41:58] Peter: But it’s so cold
[23:42:34] Yura: They’re warming up
[23:43:01] Peter: But what’s the point?
[23:43:12] Peter: Who pays for the heater?
[23:43:48] Yura: Because people don’t care. Listen, everyone pays. I pay. Whoever wants to
[23:44:19] Yura: I transferred 1000 UAH. Imagine. If at least 10,000 people transferred. Would that be enough for a heater?
[23:44:36] Yura: Today, all taxi services were transporting people for free
[23:44:40] Yura: All
[23:44:40] Peter: And where did you transfer it?
[23:44:45] Yura: To the Maidan account
[23:44:53] Yura: There is an organization there; this won’t end soon
