Explain Crimea...

match

I don't understand why there is blackness in Crimea. What's going on? Is this some political game being played or really a problem with infrastructure? Meanwhile, I read the pro-Kremlin blog of Russian patriot [livejournal.com profile] politichanka, who is very friendly even though we have completely different political views. I read her blog, and sometimes communicate with her. She's upset the TV news remains silent about the difficult situation in Crimea...focusing only on Erdogan, Syria, Bandera, Nazis...enemies all around, instead of discussing problems within. I saw some photos in other posts where Crimean children are gathered in public places where a TV is placed, and they too are staring at the face of Putin on the news rather than watching cartoons or other child friendly programming. Meanwhile, I haven't seen this situation covered at all on major U.S. news channels. As usual, we are focused on problems within - yet another shooting in Colorado from what appears to be a religious, right wing wacko opposed to abortion. So many of these religious conservatives are opposed to immigrants or refugees, failing to recognize that extremism comes in all forms, including from their beloved brethren.

What's really happening in Crimea? Help me understand.

Historically Crimea is supplied by power lines going from Ukraine.

After separation of Crimea and Donbass ukrainians got a strange idea to make as much problems as possible to people living in those places.

Some measures are official (like transport blockade of Donbass) and some are taken by hands of some activists' groups.
Now tatars and right-wing nationalists have blown up the electicity lines.

In return Russia and Donbass stopped to supply coal to Ukrainian power stations.
Now Unkrainian government talks that these power lines must be restored (because they want coal) but we'll see...
This is an image thing for the government because they'd need to conflict with radicals.
But they face the reality.

Russia now supplies autonomous generators to Crimea but that's fo course is not enough.
As a permanent solution an "energy bridge" (underwater cable from Russian mainland) is being built.
It's going to be ready in December.

I don't think it's strange that some Ukrainians behaved in this manner. It's ordinary human behavior to protest, cause chaos and draw attention to problems in an effort to effect change. Just not in Russia, where people are trained to "obey" and not question authority.

So, you support 9/11 hijackers? They bring attention to problem for sure.

Of course not. I'm speaking about peaceful protests, not violent or deadly ones.

Hovv is setting explosives on civilian infrastructure is not violent? Or deadly? Sure more than one newborn or infirm died in resulting blackout?

Войну начала Россия. Сколько новорожденные и немощные погибли от российских Торнадо-С в Донбассе.

Вы даже не представляете насколько тяжело сейчас на украине со свободой мнений, политических предпочтений. Всех, кто выражает пророссийское мнение прессингуют как минимум, а то и лишают жизни. Моя сестра, работающая в пенсионном фонде бухгалтером подверглась "люстрации", как и все остальные госслужащие. Ее вызывали на собеседование по политическим взглядам и сразу предупредили, что остануться только верные режиму. А другая знакомая работник паспортного стола была вынуждена просто бежать с украины, поскольку писала под своей фамилией в сети много против майдана.
Мне, родившейся и выросшей на Украине это все дико и страшно, я вижу насколько зазомбировали народ и заразили антироссийской истерией. И среди родственников и знакомых есть и те, что искренне теперь ненавидят Россию, а есть и те, кто искренне ненавидит майдан и нынешнюю власть считают откровенным фашистским режимом.
Так, что никаких знаков протеста мирного населения на украине нет и быть не может. Есть обученные и проплаченные организаторы "мирных протестов граждан" и силы , за ним стоящие.

Украина успешно обошлась без российского угля прошлой зимой. Вы много думать величия о себе.
