II strongly believe in our State’s princi-ple: it's not a person who's called toserve a State but a State is called to

serve each person.

This principle should be taken as a basis ofa national policy in any sphere, a true pol-icy for the sake of a real and free society.

It is time to realize and accept as given thata pledge of a successful State developmentand establishing is in a human value sys-tem that is shared by the most part of soci-ety; in quality education, in Russian cultureupraising human spirit, in health service,in self-determined and free people securedby the law.

Contrary to the West propaganda and im-plementation into the heads of people theidea that Russia is an aggressor and dicta-tor, I strongly believe that Russia doesn’twant to spark a conflict, and we respect thiscountry for it. Russia is a stronghold of theworld justice!

Time and time again we say that theUkrainian authorities need to prepare thelegislative base for holding a referendumon all the territory of big Novorossiya (thepresent territory of Ukraine) and giving allthe regions a chance of self-determination.It will be also a way out from the currentsituation and the fratricide war. It will givean impetus for the bright and fair future ofall Novorossiya.

Dear compatriots!

Page 7: nh2werty2

What is REAL FUTURE? Future is not a re-mote prospect. Future means “here andnow” and it is our choice. It is us whochoose a rapidly growing, modern Statewhere every person bears responsibility forhis actions, studies, works, develops him-self and aims for the better.

We choose a State where arbitrary rules areinadmissible, where everyone is equal be-fore the law whatever his social positionmight be, and where an independent judi-ciary really works.

And even if in this time of distraction manyactivists from the other regions of bigNovorossiya have gone into a deep politicalunderground, we continue the just causebecause our mission is sacred, and we justhaven’t got a moral right to betray the greatheritage of our ancestors.

We choose a real future as we want to liveand be happy in our own country; we wantto work, to build, to make discoveries andbreakthroughs in science and art for thebenefit of Novorossiya.

I am deeply convinced that the mainwealth of Novorossiya is its people'shuman potential.

I want all of us to remember that we are theheirs of the greatest culture in the world,an integral element of the Russian civiliza-tion and it imposes on us a lot of responsi-bilities. Novorossiya should become amodel, an example for the “civilized”world; it should become the most educat-ed, cultural, free and prosperous society ofthe third millennium.

Only a free person in an independent Statehas an opportunity to create and build upfor the convenience of all the society! I be-lieve that we can change a lot of things to-gether and change ourselves for the better.I want to build a real future of Novorossiyaalong with you.

We will assert the legislative initiatives pro-viding the following:• the real equality of all the citizensbefore the law;• the guarantees of equitable oppor-tunities for all people of Novorossiya;• the rigorous compliance with themass media freedom by stiffening the jour-nalist responsibilities for violation of therules of law;• the creation of the independent na-tional public TV broadcast.

The basic principles ofNovorossiyan establishment

The Lugansk People’s Republic and theDonetsk People’s Republic have signed aconfederate constitutional act; so, we willadd in other People’s Republics accordingto the same constitutional act. Novorossiyacan be either a federative and confedera-tive state formation.

I definitely would like to see a real rebootof the principles of power. Within our Pub-lic Political Movement we have declaredthree main principles.

The first important principle is a foun-dation of a new State and by the word No-vorossiya we mean big Novorossiya.

This hidden conflict has been ripening for23 years. The Maidan and the so calledrevolution of the dignity were its markers.Novorossiya will never be Ukraine any-more. We are too different and what is themost important blood has been spilled. Wewill not live in the same country with peo-ple who profess the Bandera ideology andkilled our friends and family. Although itwas external forces that were controllingthis process, leaning on the Nazi and Ban-dera ideological component, Bandero-vites, that have established their authorityand have support on the West-Ukrainianterritory; it was there where the main socialbase of Maidan was. The Bandera ideas be-came the ideological component of modernUkraine almost from the very first days ofits existence and Bandera followers werethe driving force of it.

The second principle we have declaredis our fight for people’s power. We put avast meaning in the term people power:

firstly, we understand that the majority ofposts should be elective. We say that judgesshould be elected because courts are deeplycorrupted; we say that the municipal policeshould be elected; we say that there shouldbe simple, clear and accurately spelt-outprocedures of reviewing MPs chosen by us.

We must form independent and objectivemass media that will cover fairly the workof anticorruption special services; we mustearn confidence of people that will not beafraid to appeal to these special serviceswith facts of corruption and will know thattheir petition will be taken honestly,processed honestly and, if necessary, theauthor of it will be left anonymous if his lifeis in danger. I am sure all this complex ofmeasures together with political will of newauthorities will be able to solve the corrup-tion problem.

The third important principle of ourmovement is social justice that can be con-sidered from different points of view. Themost radically oriented people speak aboutthe necessity of nationalization of the oli-garchs’ property which wasn’t, strictlyspeaking, obtained in a legal way, whichcan be said to have been stolen. In ordernot to be so radical, we can speak about de-priving oligarchs of budget flows and letthem have just big businesses. Let themcontinue their development in honest com-petitive struggle, but at that we shouldspeak about a social responsibility of bigbusiness because it’s it that most dodgestaxes and it’s there where there are stuffsof so called taxation optimizers who help tododge taxes through the legal loopholespassed by the oligarch lords in theSupreme Parliament.

II t’s difficult to imagine a greater liethan united Ukraine. Created like ahousehold in which each part was

added spontaneously, just answering a cur-rent need, without any general plan, it wasbound to reach a moment when all the con-struction barely holding together wouldstart falling apart at the slightest push.

United Ukraine is a myth because it’s apatchwork in all possible meanings.

Geography is known to make a great im-pact on mentality of people. While it’s nat-ural for those living in mountains to stepback in a moment of danger and take acover provided by their habitat, people ofplains, facing a threat, have to stand theirground as there is nowhere to hide. TheCarpathians have taught their dwellersboldness, not bravery – with the indifferentthey met in Kiev, with the defenseless theykilled in Odessa and with the monuments,of course, that they overpowered every-

where. Their fight with the people of vastlands of Donbass turned out to be a com-pletely different kettle of fish.

Historically Ukraine isn’t even a patch-work; it’s a kaleidoscope that, at every newturn, shows you a new picture made of thesame pieces. History is what shapes a na-tion. The Western Ukraine had been a partof different European countries, but alwaysa border part – never taken as equal, de-spised most often openly, and made to feelresentful and revengeful. The East hadbeen conquered by the Russian Empire –for its riches, of course, which had beenthen developed for the benefit of both the conquerors and the region. Under theRussian rule there appeared the majorityof now well-known cities and towns,plants, factories, mines and ports. TheSouth had long stayed under Turkish influ-ence while the center had always flouncedamong neighbours looking for the most re-liable ally and the most generous patron.

Experience of jumping from one union toanother, often the next one inimical to theprevious, isn’t unusual for any country. Tobecome a nation, though, people who hap-pened to live nearby just have to learn les-sons from their common history –accepting all of it, with all its highs and lows,without inflating glorious moments andsweeping under the rug less fortunate ones.

There is a saying that it’s impossible tochange the past… at least, without chang-ing the future. Ukraine started to rewriteits history right after its independence hadbeen declared. First it was the socialist so-ciety to blame for all troubles the collapseof the Soviet Union had brought about.Then there came a revelation about crimesof the Soviet secret services, especially inthe Western Ukraine after the Great Patri-otic War, which gave an opportunity tostart picturing the Banderites as “fighters

Ukraine had never been a strong part ofany union, so it had gladly adopted a pointof view of a dominant ally. It had neverstayed between unions for a long time ei-ther, subconsciously looking for a less com-plicated, less demanding, comfortable and,mainly, familiar position of a follower. Thatmight have been a reason why Ukraine,having found itself independent at last, gotsort of bewildered and decided that inde-pendence meant denying all previous cen-turies of “slavery”.

All these facts can’t be said entirely false;they were just inflated, distorted and em

for Ukrainian freedom” and not as collab-orators of Hitler’s Nazis they had been.Then for a couple of years, from every cor-ner, people heard horrifying stories aboutthe famine in 1930s which was presentedas a holocaust brought on Ukrainian nationnot just by Soviets, but Russian Soviets.And finally, all the period of more than300-year union with Russia was an-nounced the darkest part of Ukrainian his-tory – times of oppression, robbery,exploitation and almost genocide.

phasis was put on ethnic aspects. Eventhough the majority of communists inUkraine were Ukrainians, the Soviet secretservices had hunted in the Carpathiansthose guilty of mass murders of their ownpopulation and the famine of 1930s hadbroken out in many regions of the SovietUnion, all this massive, intense and cease-less propaganda had done its job. After aset of successive turns of the historicalkaleidoscope Ukrainians started to see anenemy in Russia – their closest, strongestand greatest neighbor. The aim of “patri-ots” had been achieved.

Curiously enough, the majority of those so-called patriots came from the WesternUkraine and the Ukrainian diaspora inCanada. It’s worth mentioning that the firstschool book on history adopted in inde-pendent Ukraine was based on works ofhistorians from Canada who had never seta foot on Ukrainian land. So, it was West-ern, in all meanings, hostility to Russia thatthe good-tempered, stubborn but patient,stingy but hard-working Ukrainian peoplewere poisoned with.

What future can be built, what patriotism,national pride, dignity and self-respect canbe brought up in young generations beingtaught on endless stories about humilia-tion, subjugation and sup-pression of theirancestors and their country?

So, the “great fighters for freedom” fromthe Western Ukraine have never been real

patriots of, actually, Ukraine. They’ve never cared about the history of the people of theSouth-East, who, having shared thick andthin with Russia for centuries, ended upbound to it in all imaginable ways – eco-nomic, cultural, mental and psychological.To belittle those bonds the “patriots” calledthem “shackles” and pictured people wish-ing to keep them intact as “born slaves” –stupid, spiritless, simple- and narrow-minded.

The “patriots” have never taken even thecenter of the country as real Ukraine. Theyhave always despised its people for theirtolerance, openness, hospitality and abilityto feel comfortable in any whirlpool of lan-guages, cultures and points of view, whichthe Western Ukrainians saw as a weak-ness… that could and, consequently,should be used.

So, it's not Ukraine the Western Ukrainian“patriots” have been patriots of. They havealways accepted, tolerated and fought fornothing but their Galicia. In each so-calledrevolution, in both 2004 and 2013, theysaw a chance to expand it on the whole ter-ritory of Ukraine and have, at last, their re-venge for ages of feeling inferior to peopleof countries they had belonged to. “We’ll belords, brothers, on our land,’ they sing intheir anthem but as recent events haveshown they didn’t want to be lords on theirown land.

the center and the South-East as con-querors ready to grind to dust any obstacleon their way. They didn’t consider weak-lings of the center and spineless reptiles ofthe South-East as obstacles, though.

And here comes the last but the most im-portant distinction between people fromdifferent parts of Ukraine. It’s distinctionin their mentality, which hadn’t really mat-tered until one way of thinking was de-clared superior to all the others. It wasprecisely this distinction that designed forevery part of Ukraine its own way of resist-ing the conquerors, set each of them on itsown path and, finally, tore the countryapart.

TT he Western Ukrainians have alwayslived in a rural society and theirpreferable household has been that

of a farm, not in a village. This lifestyle hasbrought up pronounced individualism inthem: they are fiercely protective abouttheir property and extremely jealous oftheir neighbours. Ukrainians are known ashard-working people and it’s true whentheir household is concerned. If they careabout what’s going on at next-door neigh-bours, it’s only to compare whether the lat-ter are doing worse than themselves. Theydon’t need to be better, wiser and moresuccessful; they need others to be poorer,unluckier and more stupid. They can’t besaid to enjoy troubles of others but theycertainly gloat at them, feeling superior todump dupes at such moments.

The superiority in their self-estimation iswhat makes a notion of work for the com-mon good, leaving alone charity, so alien tothem. Work should be profitable for itsdoer; otherwise they aren’t interested; evenwhen this profit goes to the society, liketaxes, the society must pay them back with

interest. That’s why such egocentric anddown-to-earth ideology has turned out to beso attractive to those, first on Maidan andthen everywhere in Ukraine, who couldboast neither talents, nor perseverance orability to live by things beyond stomach.

In fact, it was Maidan where all these typi-cal Galician treats were seen so clearly, onsuch a scale and with such intensity.

The protestants there had all the rights tobe outraged at the corruption of the au-thorities but the symbol of their indigna-tion at social injustice turned out to be agold john that the President supposedly(and falsely as it was found out later) pos-sessed in his mansion.

They covered walls of all nearby houseswith their Banderite graffiti, openly mark-ing the conquered territory as theirs. Later,at the war in Donbass, they developed thisfeature of all invaders and started to marktheir fellow human beings by burningswastikas and offensive words in the flashof their captives.

Every nation has sayings and proverbsthat, being passed down from one genera-tion to another and honed by each of them,finally represent a quintessence of a na-

tional character and mentality. So, here iswhat Ukrainian proverbs have to say forthemselves:

ants gave in and it wasn’t only the iron fistof the Soviet power that made them do itbut their own temper and habits as well.

Years of surviving all kinds of hardship to-gether had made an idea of sharing muchless alien to them than to the WesternUkrainian farmers. They accepted this ideain all meanings – they didn’t share justbread and work but joys and grieves oftheir fellow villagers as well, knowing per-fectly well that one day they might havesome troubles themselves and then all thecommunity would support and help them.

Besides, having such a support behindtheir back they were much less fearful andsuspicious of strangers, from where cametheir well-known openness and hospitality,even curiosity to everything that lay beyondthe small world of their villages. These en-viable features framed their strength in anormal, peaceful life; yet in hard times theybecame their weakness.

1166 NOVOROSSIAN HERALD

TT he people of the central Ukrainehave always belonged to the ruralsociety as well, but to a different

kind of it. For centuries they had lived invillages and belonged to their landlord ashis property, so they just had to join up inorder to help each other survive their mas-ter’s tyranny. When in 1861 the serfdomwas abolished in Russia they were alreadyused to living in communities, which con-siderably neutralized in them typical forpeasants individualism.

After the Russian revolution in 1917 theywere united in kolkhozes – agriculturalcommunities where the land couldn’t be aprivate property and everyone had to workfor the good of all. After owning a piece ofland for more than 50 years they didn’ttake to this socialistic idea and for severalyears there was one riot after anothereverywhere in the country, with Malo-rossiya, as Ukraine was called at that time,not being an exception. Finally, the peas-

UU nlike the West and the center, theEast of Ukraine has always been itsmost industrial part. Since the

Russian Empire conquered and then devel-oped the region people there have beenworking in big teams and, speaking ofplants and mines, in really dangerous con-ditions. They have never possessed ruralselfishness; moreover, mutual support hasalways been a vital part of their life. It hasalways been much easier for them to jointogether to stand up for their rights be-cause they have always shared the wholelife, both working and living side-by-side,and taken their fellow blue-collar workersas close as family members.

Perhaps, that was a reason for the East ofthen Malorossiya to take to socialistic ideasof the Russian revolution with such readi-ness and even eagerness. As proletariansthey didn’t have any private property tohave to give up on, working together wasusual for them and their understanding in-justice of a few enjoying all the results ofwork of many was based on daily virtuallykilling labor and ran deep indeed. So, howcould they not be attracted to the idea ofworking together for the common good anddividing the profits of it fairly and equally?

By the way, it’s absolutely typical that ex-actly at the same time, after the Russianrevolution, in the center of Ukraine therewas created the Ukrainian bourgeois re-public. Residents of the center were ex-tremely unwilling to lose their pieces ofland, even for the sake of justice and fair-ness. The private property, the ownershipof material things have always been much more important for them as precisely thosethings bring them feeling of their signifi-cance and value.

Returning to the people of the East, it’snecessary to mention one more aspect oftheir hard and dangerous life. Risking itevery day in mines and at harmful manu-factures has made them highly resilientand almost fearless. This goes for boththeir men and women. Many generationsof the former have been daily going underthe ground and to the fiery hell of steel andcast iron shops with no idea whether they

would return home alive and unharmedwhile the latter have been seeing out theirfathers, brothers and husbands withoutknowing whether they would still havetheir breadwinners by the evening.

As a result the people of the East may seemrough (they do like strong words andstrong drinks), but, first of all, they aretough and unyielding. What could possiblyscare them, for whom peril has always beenan every minute companion, into submis-sion? What could possibly stare them downwhen they are looking back with those eyesthat have seen death on countless occa-sions? A number of invaders to the South-East of Ukraine – as well as to Russia, bythe way – mentioned that look from amask-like face, which couldn’t be erased byeither torture or imminent death andwhich kept haunting them even after theexecution of its bearer.

And, of course, geography – climate, in par-ticular – has marked the character and tem-per of the people of the South. Everywhere Southerners are softer, though more hot-headed then Northerners asmilder, warmer

Southerners are more quick- and short-tempered; they easily flare up at the slight-est hint of insult but usually they don’t haveenough stamina and perseverance to standsolidly a long fight. That’s why they werealways very good at a cavalry attack and notat all as infantry. It’s sure undeniable thatthey have always resisted most decidedlyany attempt of invading their territory but

climate and richer nature don’t call for everyday's struggle for survival; they rather in-spire a desire to enjoy the life with all its ple-asures. It’s for a good reason that a compa-rison “happy as a sandboy” exists, after all.

Any city in the world is said to have its ownface according to its main feature – NewYork is a city of skyscrapers, Paris is a cityof fashion, Rome is a city of eternity…Odessa has a lot of faces – those of a port,of a market, of a theatre, of a music hall, offishermen and especially fisherwomen –and each of those faces has a smile on it.Odessa’s humour and buoyance have be-come legendary. Where others get angry orcry of resentment, Odessa laughs it off.

Like a very strong (and well-aware of hisstrength) person Odessa is very hard to bemade angry, but when someone does man-age it Odessa jumps through anger rightinto fury and God have mercy on its of-fender. There is a saying in Odessa “Herewe don’t waste time on beating our en-emies; we drown then in the sea rightaway”; and during the Great Patriotic Warit was Odessa’s sailors that were called “theblack death” by Hitler's Nazis and it wasOdessa’s catacombs that turned into theworst imaginable nightmare for them.

The spirit of this city can’t be easily seen;it’s usually masked by jokes and seemingfrivolity, but it’s almost palpable if you hap-pen to take a stroll in empty streets early inthe morning. The city feels alive even with-out people around you. Perhaps, that wasone of the reasons for calling it the South-ern Palmira before the Russian revolution,in comparison to the Northern Palmira –the greatest city of Saint-Petersburg.

PART I

Article 1

1. All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that rightthey freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic,social and cultural development.

Page 24: nh2werty2

All arguments about the right to self-deter-mination boil down to different interpreta-tions of the word “people”. For the state ofUkraine a people is a set of persons living

Indeed, in the international literature theword “people” is often replaced by the word“nation”. Taking an advantage of it, thestate of Ukraine prefers to substitute theconcept “national”, i.e. nationwide, withthe concept “nationalistic”, i.e. referring toa certain nationality. It’s not the first time,though, when the state of Ukraine experi-

That is what gives Ukrainian nationalists a handle to refer all residents of the countryto the Ukrainian nation and speak aboutthe priority of the “Ukrainian nationalidea”, playing on a completely differentperception of the concept of nationalism,in particular, in Europe. For modern Euro-peans nationalism is a synonym of theword “patriotism” and nationalists arefighters for their countries’ national inter-ests in contrast to the European Union’s

Let’s turn again to Wikipedia and its defini-tion of the concept “nationality” in Europe.

demands. Therefore, European national-ists stand for recognizing the priority oftheir people’s interests over those of theEuropean community whereas Ukrainiannationalists aspire to subject the wholemultinational people of Ukraine to inter-ests of one of the nations completing it.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about“nation”.

The state of Ukraine The state of Ukraine and the people’s right to self-determinationand the people’s right to self-determination

People - 1) the population of a certain country; 2) a historic community of persons.

In scientific literature the word “people” is used in two main meanings, po-litical and cultural and ethnical. Used in the first meaning the term “people”is a synonym to the word “nation”.

In the majority of modern European languages, in official documents thecorresponding term (English “nationality”, for example) means being a cit-izen or a subject of a state. The same meaning is invested (in Russian as well)in the concept of a national state as that of complete sovereignty, in contrastto colonies and postmodern states.

Nation is a stable community of persons, emerged historically and on thebase of a common language, territory, economic life as well as on the baseof a common culture, specific only for the given ethnos and willingly andnaturally accepted by all, and the national interest formed on its base.

Page 25: nh2werty2

Neither the term “a stable community ofpersons, emerged historically” nor the fol-lowing one “<emerged> on the base of acommon language” can be applied to thestate of Ukraine, but the key words in thisdefinition are “a common culture <…> will-ingly and naturally accepted by all”. Thispart of the definition has nothing to dowith statements and direct actions of thenew Ukrainian authorities, namely depri-

Let’s not appeal to the example of theAmerican States that realized their right toself-determination on the then “trust” ter-ritory of the Great Britain as it had hap-pened before the Covenant mentionedabove was approved in 1966. But in 1991Ukraine itself, being a part of the Soviet

How the state of Ukraine “guarantees thatthe rights enunciated in the presentCovenant will be exercised without dis-crimination of any kind” is especiallyclearly seen in the sphere of “language, re-ligion, political or other opinion”. TheRussian language is banned from schools,universities and all office work. Churchesthat are under the jurisdiction of the

vation Russian of even a regional status,the announced course to total derussifica-tion of the country, the most possibly ex-tensive campaign of demonizing all whichis Russian in the mass media and destruc-tion and desecration of historical and cul-tural memorials as well.

In all appearances, in 1991 when Ukraineestablished its “sovereign and independentState <…> freely determined by a people”this document was still up-to-date; in 2014,though, when the Crimea and Donbass re-alized the same right to self-determinationby the free will of the people at the referen-dums, this document somehow becameout-of-date.

MM onths have passed since theheroic uprising of the DPR’s peo-ple and many of them have

started to doubt or even claim thatNovorossiya seems to have nothing to dowith Donetsk. To clarify the situation, it’snecessary to consider this matter not fromrevolutionary Donetsk or Moscow, butfrom the future and from the heart of thefuture multipolar world.

The Donetsk People’s Republic is a localrevolution and the Donetsk people’s upris-ing against the criminal authority ofUkrainian oligarchs, against “the Europeanchoice” of ex-Ukraine. This is a triumph ofordinary workers, teachers, doctors, stu-dents and retirees. This is an open revoltagainst Kiev and long-term mind-numbingUkrainization.

The Donetsk People’s Republic is the Do-netsk Revolution which has moved to the

state building and self-defense phase. Theprotection of the Donetsk Revolution andbuilding a truly people’s and so desired statehas become one of the stages of the entireSouth-East of ex-Ukraine’s awakening.

Novorossiya resurrecting before our eyes isa Russian revolution for export, it is adream and a Russian international againstAmerican invaders and their appointees,Ukrainian oligarchs. Novorossiya is revo-lutionary cells of confederates in Kharkovand Odessa People’s Republics. DPR re-lates to Novorossiya in the same way as young Soviet republics did to the revolu-tionary International abroad, as realizationof socialism in one particular country didto revolutionary masses’ awakening allover the world.

Novorossiya is building our fair and amaz-ing Russian world on territory temporarily occupied after the defeat of the Soviet

Union in “the cold war”. Novorossiya is theRussian world’s awakening everywhere: inBaltic countries and Moldova, in ex-Ukraine and even in Russia itself where alot of people are still under a deep post-so-viet sleep.

The idea of the future Eurasian Union iseven wider and more varied, more radicaland massive; it is a union of free nationsagainst American globalization and it’s notjust Slavic nations but also Turkic, Cau-casian… It’s the great nations’ awakeningagainst NATO and dollar occupation, anactive protection and an offensive ofEurasian nations against the world’s evil’sforces. It may be the last and great battlefor the establishment of the multipolarworld where India, China, Turkic worldand Europe awakening and, in future, freeof the USA’s dictate will be our allies. Thisis a union with revolutionary Latin Amer-

ica and, in the long run, a battle for libertyof the American nation itself.

In many years, on the American world’sruins, everyone will remember a mustardseed of the Donetsk Republic, the free Don-bass people who were the first to say “NO”,with determination and responsibility, tothe Kiev junta’s absolute evil! They hadenough strength and determination to bethe first to say “NO” to the world hegemon,first at the referendum and then with arms!All American world order has ganged up onthe tiny and proud islet of liberty, onDonetsk miners and steel-makers.

‘Donetsk has held out and won!’ is whatwill be written in the future schoolbooks. Ithas held out and won against all the oddsas the Russian Spring in Novorossiya willhold out and win, as the Eurasian and mul-tipolar world will win and as the good willfinally beat the Anarchist kingdom.

BB oth Russians and the vast majorityof residents of Novorossiya are in-terested in the closest economic co-

operation and absence of economicborders between Novorossiya and Russia.Cooperation in the sphere of security is noless important as well as preservation ofcenturies-old cultural, humanitarian, fam-ily and personal bonds between two partsof the Russian people.

Novorossiya’s integration with Russia canbe carried out in the following ways:

Federalization of Ukraine. The Russian•language gets the state status; the re-gions receive the considerable rights inthe field of pursuing their educational,cultural and economic policy, and alsothe right to block entering into eco-nomic associations with countries if itis contrary to the economic interests ofthe regions. There must be carried outa full nationwide discussion of a formatof federal Ukraine’s cooperation andthat of its regions with Russia and theEurasian Union.

The separate state – Novorossiyan re-•public. Further – the fastest accessionto the Eurasian union or developmentof an integration format special, but al-most equivalent to the introductionwith the Eurasian union.

The option of preservation of unitaryUkraine is still possible, though highly im-probable. The condition of preserving uni-tary Ukraine is its having responsible andcapable authorities, i.e. not Banderite-oli-garchical ones dividing citizens into thefirst and the second grade and protectingonly interests of certain clans, but the op-posite ones regarding as paramount impor-tance economic interests of all citizens onthe whole, of the whole country and of eachof its regions. Russian must become thesecond state language, confrontation withRussia must be stopped and a format ofeconomic integration with the EurasianUnion must be worked out.

In the present situation the most correctway for Novorossiya’s people is to openlydemand federalization of Ukraine (which,by the way, many residents of Western andCentral Ukraine will be ready to support),also providing the regions with extensiverights to form their foreign policy and eco-nomic relations and entering the EurasianUnion. But it is also necessary to work onthe other specified option of rapproche-ment with Russia.

What the integration with Russia will bringNovorossiya?For each person:For each person:• The end of discrimination ofRussian, Russian schools and Russ-ian-speaking mass media. Citizens willbe able to choose what mass media to readand watch and what language their chil-dren will study in, without any obstaclesfrom the authorities.

• Increase in opportunities ofcitizens’ influence on the regionalpower by electing heads of regions.The idea of federalization is also directed atit, in particular.

• Preservation of a possibility totravel freely to Russia, including theCrimea, that is the extremely importantfor both people of Novorossiya and Russia,bound by numerous family, friendship andworking relations. If the present illegiti-mate Kiev Government’s threat to intro-duce a visa regime with Russia is realized(and Russia will be compelled to introducereciprocal restrictions sooner or later),crossing the border will take much more

time as well as money, and for some per-sons it will turned out to be under a ban al-together.

• Essential simplification ofcrossing the border with Russia or acomplete elimination of borders incase of Novorossiya’s independent cooper-ation with Russia. It will be especially ac-tual for residents of border areas and, inparticular, for residents of those villageswhere the border presenting a lot of hin-drances passes now.

• Essential decrease in personaltaxes in case of Novorossiya’s independ-ent cooperation with Russia. In particular,in Russia the income tax for individuals is13% against 15-17% in Ukraine.

• Essential increase in salaries asa result of economic growth and still higherone in case of Novorossiya’s independentcooperation with Russia. Salaries in Russiaare significantly higher than in Ukraine;state employees, civil servants and formerUkrainian military of Novorossiya can ex-pect an essential increase in their income.

In particular, salaries of Russian militaryare 3-4 times as high as salaries of theirUkrainian colleagues. To compare, in theCrimea by July 2014 it is planned to raisesalaries of Crimean state employees to theall-Russian level which is 2-3 times as highas the Ukrainian one (for example, salariesof doctors in the Crimea will be tripled). InApril the minimum monthly rate in theCrimea grew by 20%, a stage-by-stage in-crease in salaries of civil servants is pro-vided in Sevastopol: by 20% in April, by30% in June, and by 40% in July. Mean-while, the present illegitimate Kiev author-ities froze a minimum wage and cost ofliving increase and are planning mass lay-offs of civil servants.

• Prevention of a large-scale un-controlled increase in prices forfood, transport etc. The sharp increasein prices for the most basic products andservices taking place now in Ukraine is in-evitable in the conditions of unstable situ-ation, high cost of the energy, increase intaxes and the state’s absence of opportuni-ties to subsidize needs of citizens and en-terprises. On the opposite, in case of pre-serving low prices of gas, preserving accessto the Russian market and receiving finan-cial aid from Russia and even more in caseof Novorossiya’s independent cooperationwith Russia (where taxes are lower, the

economics is stable and the state support isgreat), it is possible to keep the prices at alevel comfortable for the population.

• Significant increase in pen-sions and other social payments incase of strong social and economic bondswith Russia. Pensions in Russia are at leasttwice as high as Ukrainian’s and the retire-ment age in Russia is lower than inUkraine. At the birth of the second or nextchild citizens of Russia are paid the mater-nity capital of 430 000 rubles, as of 2014.To compare, starting in April pensions inthe Crimea will increase by 25% monthly(in April, May, June and July) until theyreach the all-Russian level. Meanwhile, thepresent illegitimate Kiev authorities havecancelled special pensions for civil servantsand they won’t be able to provide any realincrease in pensions in the coming years.

• Noticeable decrease in utilitypayments for electricity, gas, waterand heat and also decrease in pricesof petrol in comparison to what awaitsUkraine. The illegitimate Kiev authoritiesare going to raise tariffs for gas and heat forUkrainians to the world level within 4years: in 2014 by 40%, in 2015 by 40%, in2016 by 20% and in 2017 again by 20%.

For enterprises and businessFor enterprises and business--men:men:• Considerable investmentsfrom Russia, and then from othercountries. To assess the scale of invest-ments inflow it can be noted that withinthree weeks after the reunion with Russiathe Crimea already received offers of over$1 billion from potential investors. On thewhole Russia is planning up to $5 billion ofprivate and state investments within thenext 5 years. For Novorossiya this amountmay be considerably higher. Besides, nor-malization of the economic and politicalsituation and increase in Novorossiya’s in-dustry’s competitiveness due to lower pricesof energy will make the region more attrac-tive to investments not only from Russia,but also from every corner of the world.

• Extension of the sales marketfor Novorossiya’s goods. Novorossiya’sentry into the Eurasian Union will cause afull removal of various administrative bar-riers interfering with economic relations.The market of the country with GDP (grossdomestic product) of $3 trillion (10 timesas high as the present Ukrainian GDP) willopen completely for Novorossiya’s enter-prises. It will facilitate an increase in exportof Novorossia’s goods to Russia and re-spectively will lead to growth of Novo-rossiya’s regions’ industry.

• Russian and Novorossian en-terprises will become allies in manyrespects instead of being competi-tors, in particular on foreign markets. Itwill happen in case of both Novorossiya’sindependent cooperation with Russia andits entering the Eurasian Union. The spacefor dialogue and interaction will increase;there will appear an opportunity to protecttheir interests together.

• Preservation and developmentof enterprises closely connected withRussia, which may come to a significantharm in case of the European integration.The largest among them are the Krama-torsk Energomashspetsstal which works al-most exclusively for the Rosatom, theMariupol Azovstal and the Mariupol Ilyichsteel mill which works on Kerch ironstone,the Dnepropetrovsk Yuzhmash whoserockets are launched practically only fromRussian spaceports. Also it’s quite likely tomean preservation of many other enter-prises of Russian ownership, which can beeasily shut down and plundered in the pro-cess of property redistribution and Euro-pean standards implementation followingthe European integration, as the exampleof Baltic industry, shut down under the EEUpressure almost completely, has shown.

• Providing Novorossiya’s in-dustrial enterprises with ordersfrom Russia and also restoration andmodernization of many of them. It isabout restoring ship-building and ship-re-pairing enterprises of Nikolaev and Kher-son which can compensate shortage ofship-building capacities in Russia (espe-cially in the field of military shipbuilding),expanding cooperation with enterprises ofthe military-industrial complex inKharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and other re-gions, preserving and expanding amount oforders for railcar building in Lugansk(Ukrainian railcars are intended for theRussian broad gauge), motor industry inZaporozhye (up to 95% of Russian helicop-ters are equipped with engines of the Za-porozhye enterprise Motor Sich) etc.

An especially great effect can be reached inthe shortest terms by modernization of themining industry and metallurgy of Don-bass, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk wherepower consumption of industry is very highdue to usage of outdated equipment (forexample, outdated open-hearth furnaces

are still used there). The increase in energyefficiency, together with reduction of pricesof energy, will dramatically increase com-petitiveness of the local industry. Russiahas a great experience in this area: for thelast ten years it has carried out a large-scalemodernization of the largest enterprises ofthe Russian metallurgy.

• Price-cutting for energy andraw materials from Russia. NowUkraine receives energy from Russia atprices close to the world’s ones. AfterNovorossiya’s entering the Eurasian Unionthe energy delivered to it won’t be sub-jected to export duties. Besides, theGazprom will be able to deliver natural gasto Novorossiya at tariffs functioning inRussia. Thus, Novorossiya will be able toreceive the energy at Russian domesticprices which are much lower that theworld’s ones. It will facilitate the growth ofNovorossiya’s economics as local enter-prises will be able to considerably reducecosts of raw materials, including not onlygas but also Yakut caking coal the metal-lurgy of the region is supplied with.

• Together with RussiaNovorossiya will take the actuallymonopoly position in the world pro-duction of sunflower oil as well as itwill become a much larger player in themarkets of other cereals and sugar, whichwill make an agricultural branch muchsteadier against various sanctions andtrade wars. Local agrarians aren’t aware ofsuch problems by hearsay as, for example,the political weight of Ukraine regularlywasn’t enough to adequately sell its sugarat the world market. Russia is much morerespected in the world and its wishes aretreated with more attention.

• Considerable decrease in taxesin case of independent cooperationwith Russia. Rates of all main taxes inRussia are lower than in Ukraine; decreasein taxes will be an essential advantage forentrepreneurs in Novorossiya. In Russiathe value added tax is as follows: 0% for ex-port (in Ukraine it is also 0%), 10% for food-stuff and goods for children (in Ukraine itis 20%), 18% on goods, works and services(in Ukraine it is 20%). In Russia the profittax for enterprises in sphere of education,medicine and agriculture is 0% (in Ukraineit is 18%), for investment activity it is 20%,18% of which is transferred into the subjectof federation’s budget.

For the region in general:For the region in general:• Preservation and developmentof the nuclear power engineeringand also the nuclear safety increase.The largest NPPs located in Novorossiya,the Southern Ukrainian and ZaporozhyeNPP, depend on fuel supply from Russia,and Russia is engaged in building newpower blocks at these stations. The illegit-imate Kiev authorities are now going tomake the second attempt to use Americanfuel assemblies at Ukrainian NPPs insteadof Russian ones; a few years ago the first at-tempt led to almost an accident and it wasRussian experts that had to eliminate itsconsequences. A new attempt of such sortcan cause a catastrophe.

• Preservation and developmentof hi-tech industry and science. Prac-tically all Novorossiya’s enterprises pro-ducing high-tech goods are oriented at theRussian market and need cooperation withRussia. Production of these enterprises isn’tnecessary in Europe as either it will com-pete undesirably with European enter-prises or it doesn’t answer European tech-nological standards and can’t be imple-mented in European production chains. Incase of loss of hi-tech industry, loss of ap-plied science focused on it is also inevitable,which will lead to a considerable degrada-tion of society on the whole. Only cooper-

• Economic growth in Novo-rossiya due to the essential decrease inprices of raw materials and energy, invest-ments and direct help from Russia as wellas easy access to the large Russian marketand also access to the world markets, en-sured by political influence.

• Demographic growth in Novo-rossiya. The demographic crisis inUkraine affected extremely seriouslyNovorossiya’s regions where for 23 years aconsiderable population decline occured asa result of deindustrialization, losses ofworkplaces and degradation of social infra-structure. However, the rate of naturalpopulation growth is highly probable toimprove in Novorossiya after its integra-tion into the Eurasian Union, with restora-tion of normal work of economics, growthof salaries, pensions and social benefits.Migration of Russians to Novorossiya, buy-ing property there, as well as a flow ofrefugees from Ukraine can also signifi-cantly increase the population growth.

• Significant increase in budgetsof regions of Novorossiya. The Crimeawhose budget was doubled right after itsreunion with Russia can serve as a good ex-ample of benefits of close cooperation withthis country. But even without direct Russ-ian help Novorossiya’s regions can get ahuge increment to their income just owingto the fact that they won’t have to sponsorsubsidized regions of Western and CentralUkraine anymore. Moreover, the income ofenterprises registered there but actually lo-cated in Novorossiya won’t go to Kiev ei-ther. Meanwhile, the illegitimate Kievauthorities have already managed to settheir seal to essential reduction of thebudget for 2014.

• Significant investments intoroad infrastructure (railways and high-ways) in case of Novorossiya’s independentcooperation with Russia . To compare: ex-penses for modernization Crimean roads,starting in 2014, will amount to 7 billionrubles. It should be mentioned that thequality of passenger rail services is muchhigher now in Russia than in Ukraine,which can be easily seen by comparing thecondition of Russian and Ukrainian rail-way carriages.

Obviously, high-speed communication be-tween Moscow and the Crimea, which canbe arranged on the base of the modernizedrailway already existing, won’t stay un-wanted; such service will benefit all citieson its way: Moscow, Tula, Orel, Kursk, Bel-gorod and Sevastopol in Russia andKharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhyein Novorossiya.
