BHL et al. are Afraid of the Wreckers

Unfortunately, most of my readers reside outside the EU, but if a fellow citizen of the Union is reading this, please join my “Fuck the EU!” initiative this May. It basically involves voting for anti-establishment candidates in the EU election…

I think I am a wrecker! I still remember BHL how he supported a pack of Russophobic baboons on the Maidan, and for this he deserves to get wrecked! Coincidentally, he and other sleazy writers such as Milan Kundera, and Salman Rushdie warn us against the rise of the wreckers, who threaten Europe.

Europe is being attacked by false prophets who are drunk on resentment, and delirious at their opportunity to seize the limelight. It has been abandoned by the two great allies who in the previous century twice saved it from suicide; one across the Channel and the other across the Atlantic. The continent is vulnerable to the increasingly brazen meddling by the occupant of the Kremlin. Europe as an idea is falling apart before our eyes.

No doofuses! The wreckers threaten the EU, an illiberal, transnational behemoth that has the gall to tell countries of Central Europe to accept illegal immigrants from the Third World. No occupant of the Kremlin ever dared suggest to Czechoslovakia to accept boatloads of Africans. Milan Kundera cares little about the Czechs and chooses to live in the jungle France, by the way.

EU sucks, these gentlemen suck, and they should get wrecked!

Ukrainian Economy in One Picture

Below is a graph based on data from the National Bank of Ukraine. It shows direct investment in lined, and remittances from workers abroad in white. The data for 2018 are for only 9 months.

This means that the number of people forced to work outside the country grew rapidly. It is highly likely most of Ukraine’s economic growth is due to remittances sent when you consider that the VAT is the major source of revenue for the Ukrainian budget.

Ukrainian Jarheads Boast About 100 Years of War

Recent leaks from the Integrity Initiative, and the Institute of Statecraft, a British state funded propaganda effort, yielded some really funny material. 

Ukrainian jarheads visited Britain, and likely tried to impress their British handlers by alluding to some English history:

The presenters made clear that Ukraine was preparing for a long war, a Ukrainian “hundred years war” as one of them put it. The discussion of equipment procurement programmes and the nature of the equipment being procured and developed by the Ukrainians, particularly in conjunction with the Croatians gave some insight into the way they saw their own military strategy developing and what for them is likely to be the best counter to Russian attacks.

Indeed, it will take them one hundred years to emulate the Croatians. LOL

How Ukrnazis Read Maps

Stuck up nationalists show how they are geographically and historically challenged once again…

I need to lay low on these Ukrainian nationalist profiles, and keep myself from commenting and pointing out their stupidity. This stuff is gold…

Ukraine on the map of the famous naval explorer Francis Drake, 1581-1583. Ukraine is marked by “RVSSIA” and Moscovia is called “Tartaria” by Francis Drake.

Actually, what is marked by the term “RVSSIA” are the territories of the Tsardom of Russia which roughly span the North-Eastern part of the European continent. What is called Tartaria are the lands of the Siberian Khanate in Western Siberia that were conquered by Yermak Timofeyevich in 1582.

I am interested whether this fan of SS Halychyna can explain why the map contains “RVSSIA” and not Ukraine? Why there isn’t any mention of Moscovia some 100 years before Peter the Great? Ukrainian nationalists actually believe Peter the Great renamed Moscovia to Russia and usurped the rightful name of Ukraine in this way. In reality, Ukrainian nationalists chose to call themselves “Ukrainians” in the nineteenth century. Indeed, certain Western maps do designate North-Eastern Europe as Moscovia in order to differentiate it from the Russian lands held by the king of Lithuania and Poland, who struggled for Rus’ with Moscow. But Francis Drake apparently cared little for this squabble among Slavs.

The Russophobia of Taking Down the Suvorov Monument

The current regime in Kiev, and its supporters in the West, may like to claim that it is not anti-Russian but how then do we explain this?

The other day, a monument to the Russian general Alexander Suvorov was dismantled in Kiev. The statue was set up in 1974, in front of the Suvorov Military School, renamed in 1992 to Ivan Bohun Military High School.

Suvorov’s only crime was being Russian. I personally cannot name a single crime of this eighteenth century general against the Ukrainian nation, which did not even exist back then. There haven’t even been attempts to write in the Little Russian dialect when Suvorov was active, let alone the notion of Ukrainian nationhood. Matter a fact, he conquered for Russia many of the lands that Ukrainian nationalists claim as theirs.

Ukrainian nationalists haven’t conquered anything in their 100 years of existence. They have been given a country completely made by the Soviet Union. The initiator of this
démontage was Volodymyr Viatrovych of the Institute of National Memory. He wrote on Facebook: “Suvorov out. Decolonisation marches forth.” Suvorov conquered for Russia former Turkish territories, that were previously the pastures of nomadic tribes, and Russia settled these lands with Slavs.

“Suvorov out. Decolonisation marches forth”

This is the only colonisation we can objectively talk about. Colonisation allowed by the might of the Russian state.

Any memory of there ever being a link with Russia is something the Ukrainian nationalists, who now control “Ukraine’s historical memory”, want to erase. They want to erase any link that connects Ukraine to Russia in fact. This includes not just the dismantling of monuments but also efforts to create an independent Ukrainian Church, and the marginalisation of the Russian language in the public sphere through mandates and quotas favouring Ukrainian. Everything must be replaced by images that are anti-Russian.

“Historical rotation, the monument to Suvorov was dismantled and a memorial plaque to Dontsov was unveiled in Kiev.”

Dmitry Dontsov was one such activist, who wanted to see Ukraine’s complete estrangement from Russia. This was actually his programme in the nutshell, and it is being enacted by Viatrovych in the 21st century. What are the chances that this derussified, and anti-Russian Ukraine will ever return Crimea and the Donbass?

Oh my God, the Horror! Yulia Tymoshenko Expressed a Realistic Opinion in the Past…

Ukraine lives in a lie, and that lie is about European integration, and even bigger lie is about an Euro-Atlantic integration of the country…

TV station “Pryamyi” belongs to the current president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, and naturally it runs a black PR against other candidates in the presidential race. Accusations of a lack of patriotism against Tymoshenko has been a steady feature on these channels. Recently one of its shows featured former member of parliament and general-lieutenant of SBU, Hrihoriy Omel’chenko, who said he heard Tymoshenko utter the unimaginable in 2009. She dared to put in question the Euro-Atlantic direction of the Ukrainian state on a Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe conference. I translate:

“Yulia Volodymirovna, without regard to the fact that it is written in the law on national security that the aim of Ukraine is to join NATO and the EU, said after a speech delivered by the Deputy Vice-Premier of the Russian Federation, Ivanov: “Ukraine will not enter the EU or NATO because it goes against the national interests of the Russian Federation, and we will work on a collective plan of European security…”

I am not going to debate here whether this hearsay is true. Tymoshenko certainly sings a rather different tune now. What I would like to discuss are Ukraine’s chances to join the two organisations. I will start with the EU, which I believe there is greater chance Ukraine will join in the future.

At present however, Ukraine is not even a candidate for membership in the EU. I don’t dispute Ukraine will become one in near future, there is good chance she will, but why didn’t she become one in the last 5 years? Why is it so hard to simply join the queue with Serbia and Turkey? On the website of the European Parliament, only the countries of Western Balkans are seen as candidates, or potential candidates for EU expansion.

The EU at present is gripped by an internal crisis. And there is a strong chance, the EU may cease to exist in its present form within the next decade. I certainly hope it will, and will do my bit to make this happen. By the time Ukraine is ready economically and socially to join the union there may be no union left to join. But perhaps there will be a Visegrad Union. There are many who dream of Intermarium out there.

With NATO things look rather bleak, an ongoing conflict in the East of the country makes Ukraine rather unattractive for NATO membership. Wishful thinkers, such as the academic Taras Kuzio liken Ukraine to West Germany, which was part of NATO. However, West Germany was a rather special case. There has not been an open armed conflict between West Germany and East Germany. East Germany, having risen out of the Soviet occupation zone, had more or less clearly defined borders, which the DNR and LNR do not. And finally, West Germany did not complain about Soviet aggression.

A Problem For Czech Companies: The Germans Will Give Jobs To Ukrainians

Below is a translation of an article by Petr Zenker in the Czech business daily, Hospodářské noviny. In November last year, I published similar information from the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita about labour migration further West. 

It will have consequences for machine-building and the car industry.

In recent years, Czech companies found it increasingly harder to recruit new employees. There are fewer unemployed because during a period of economic boom, unemployment dropped to record lows. Companies are now forced to draw worker from their competition or to seek them abroad. But soon, this problem might become even more acute. Germany prepares a breakthrough step, starting next year she will allow people from outside the EU to join her job market.

It will concern mostly Ukrainians, who are a key component of many Czech companies. We can expect that many of them will give preference to a higher salary in Germany over work in the Czech Republic. It will have impact mainly upon our car industry and machine-building thinks Radek Špicar, the vice president of the Union of Industry and Transport. He estimates that: “Especially qualified specialists will go to Germany rather than to Czech Republic.”

The Union of Entrepreneurs in Construction sees this as a serious problem that does not have a solution. Jan Fidler, a shareholder in the company, Hinton says: “The biggest danger will be to our subcontractors, who have a large share of workforce from Ukraine. We are talking about hundreds of smaller firms. But in this way the problem will concern general suppliers as well.”

The new regulations were negotiated upon by the German [ruling] coalition before Christmas, and it is expected the Bundestag will agree to it in the middle of the Year. The Germans have decided to change their attitude because of the same problem that plagues Czech companies: the companies over there (in Germany) suffer from staff shortages, which slows down economic development. Germany currently has one million of free vocations, the Czech Republic has 300 thousand. (translator’s note: relative to population, the Czech Republic clearly has a worse problem)

The key difference in accepting employees from outside the EU will be that the Germans, unlike the Czechs, will not introduce any quotas. That is simply, anyone who meets the skill and language requirements will receive a job in Germany.

The Czech Republic allows for this only in a limited way. From 2016, 20 thousand Ukrainians are allowed to enter the country every year. But the demand from companies far exceeds this capacity. Špicar from the Union of Industry and Transport says: “We are asking the government to increase the workers’ quota to 40 thousand per year.” The doubling of the quota is now being finalised by the government, and should start working from April.

120 thousand Ukrainians work legally in the Czech Republic at the moment. After Slovaks, they are the second most numerous group of foreign workers. Most Ukrainians are active in Poland, where 500 thousand have found their livelihood. The Polish have for a long time been the most open to workers from Ukraine, and do have that many barriers in their employment.

The Ukrainian workers are lured to Poland and the Czech Republic by higher salaries than what they have back home.  The average wage in Ukraine is around 7200 CZK. In the Czech Republic, the Ukrainian workers receive on average slightly more than 25 thousand CZK. Large part of them find work through agencies and receive less money. In Poland, according to the agency Personnel Service, the majority of Ukrainians receive between 15 and 21 thousand CZK. (translator’s note: 1 USD = 22.50 CZK at the time of writing)

Germany’s bold entry into competition over Ukrainian employees will fundamentally change this salary perspective. The average wage in Germany is greater than 2000 EUR, that is 50 thousand CZK. Czech companies will have to raise wages for the Ukrainians to keep them from going after the better German salary.

The Czech Republic and Poland will retain a competitive edge over Germany due to their linguistic closeness to Ukraine. That is a reason, why the opening of the German market does not automatically mean that all the Ukrainians will go there.

“We are not losing people who have already arrived. The problem of Czech Republic is that she isn’t as flexible in comparison to Germany and Poland in managing the influx of workers that the economy lacks. They will rather go to Poland or Germany,” says analyst, Tomáš Ervín Dombrovský from the company LMC.

What the Hell is This?

The other day, my Moscow resident friend sent me this “Sponsored” content that appeared on his Facebook page…

“The Russian government helped support this movement in America. Russians and fascists haven’t been friends before”

Honestly, somebody spent money to promote this piece of crap in Moscow? I wonder, is the man OK in the head? It looks like it isn’t the only post he promoted to Russians…

Dear people of Russia! Translation: @google; nationalist, fascist, manipulative, psychopath, America.

This John Michael Reed appears to be suffering from a serious case of Russiagateism, and Trump derangement syndrome, and should get professional help.

Newly-formed Orthodox Church in Ukraine was Recognised by Uniates and the LGBT

Translated from Fraza.ua.

Not a single one of local Orthodox Churches has sent her greetings to the “unifying council”, and the Orthodox Church in Ukraine (OCU) that was formed there. Meanwhile, as the journalists from Fraza found out, the OCU was recognised by the US State Department, the LGBT community, and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (what I call “Uniates“). The Vatican has at first recognised the Church but then refused to recognise it.

Expert on religions, Alexandr Voznesensky wrote that the LGBT community recommends the newly-formed “unified Church” under the leadership of Epiphanius. The expert added: “This is what I understand as World recognition. After this, recognition of local Churches is not needed.”

Anatoly Shariy (red underscored text above): The LGBT community have greeted Ukraine with the unifying council. Rebecca Harms (German EMP) retweeted, what an ecstasy.

TASS reports that in the opinion of the Deputy Spokesperson under the leadership of the 70th Secretary of State, Mark Pompeo, Robert Palladino, “the creation of this Church is a historic event for Ukraine.” He greeted, in the name of United States, the head of OCU, “metropolitan” Epiphanius with being elected. 48366708_1941863119195296_3816984762199834624_n.jpg

Today (the article was published on 18 of December 2018), the press secretary of OCU, Eustratius (Zorya) announced that a report, which has appeared on the Vatican website, which spoke about the election of Epiphanius, de facto means the Pope has recognised has recognised the Church. He wrote: “It is de facto a sign, that in accordance with the order of  the ecumenical dialogue with the Orthodox Churches, by the power of the canonical recognition by the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of the Ukrainian Church and her Metropolitan, this Church acquired subjectness in the eyes of Rome.”

However, Zorya’s joy was premature. As it turned out, Vatican’s official portal did not recognise Epiphanius. This was announced on 18 December at the directorate of the Holy See’s press service.

The head of Ukrainian Greek Catholics (UGCC), Svyatoslav also sent greetings to supporters of the OCU in connection with the “unification council” and the election of a new representative. This was announced by the head of the pastoral service in Ukraine’s penitentiary system of the Patriarchal curia of the UGCC, Konstantin Pateley, on his Facebook page.
