So, let's continue:

I did write - "all other things being equal." The standard of living depends on too many parameters.

This is not all other things being equal. This is from biology: the probability of survival of a particular species directly depends on the number of individuals. We are talking about survival in principle, and not about the standard of living. But yes, there are indeed many parameters...

8) The absence of Maidan protests. I understand that for some this is a plus, but for the economy it is objectively a minus.

The absence or presence of Maidan protests is a direct result of governing the state. If you don't want Maidan protests, then don't make fun of the population. And any alliances are unlikely to help here.

You have confused me a bit with the other questions. I am especially puzzled by the concepts of a single currency, the unification of ministries and consulates, as well as the role of borders and customs. I will have to read the manual on the Customs Union... but for now, that's all.

To be continued...

You have made a whole problem out of one hryvnia here.

We didn't create the problem. We are trying to find a possible solution. And the hryvnia is just a reminder...

Yanukovych and Azarov will not leave together, if someone leaves, it will only be Yanukovych, although I am very doubtful about this.

Hello, what will Azarov do? If the president leaves, his government will leave too. Rather, the opposite: Yanukovych will make Azarov a scapegoat and appoint someone else. By the way, this is a possible way out for him: to back down, to negotiate with the opposition. The question is: will the Maidan protesters be satisfied?

And no one will sit for a whole winter for any idea, the winters are harsh here. They have already sat for a month and almost dispersed, they will sit for a maximum of another month.

Why not? They survived in 2004, didn't they? And this winter is predicted to be warmer. And the mood is hotter there.

I have been refraining from posting similar links so far, but I can't resist here. You can talk for a long time, but she says it better than anyone about the situation in the country, even though she is a lawyer. The problem is that everything is in Ukrainian, but those who understand will appreciate it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpPrkMPzmrs
It seems that I have lost my hryvnia, but there was still hope: if not now, then when? I still hope that those who came out to Maidan will organize and give a rebuff to this lawlessness. Otherwise, we will sink into chaos for an indefinite period.
