In the Ukrainian media attack on its own citizens explain striking : "Kiev protects bewildered east from Russian aggression, occupation , subdue the mind and will of Donbass" . What is the situation actually figured out on the spot correspondent "AIF" .
In the Donetsk region Slovyansk live only 120 thousand people. But it was he - location number 1 in world news . All because his example, the new Ukrainian government has decided to deal with significant protests in the south- east of the country .
The logic is clear and this is even more shocking . In rebellious Donetsk - almost a million citizens in Lugansk - 500 thousand , much easier to " hurt a little " afraid to large ... In Ukrainian media attack on its own citizens explain striking : "Kiev protects bewildered east of aggression Russian invaders (!) subjugate the mind and will of Donbass " . What is the situation actually figured out on the spot correspondent "AIF" .
Veterans - "terrorists" ?
"With the Nazis somehow coped well and do not give up now - excitedly tells me Leonid Vasil'chuk, chairman of the Board of Veterans Sloviansk . - Understand what particular sacrilege ? The fact that many of our veterans sprinkled their blood Donbass , protecting it from the Nazis . And now , on the eve of May 9 , shooting at us ! Comes to humiliation . Veterans pensions delay , threaten to disable light and water . This heroes feat which no country would be enslaved fascism ! "

Although Slovyansk curfew , its inhabitants are desperately trying to live a normal life . Everywhere smells like lilacs and dumplings . Children laughing , kissing couple , barricades local motorists have learned to skillfully go around ... It seems that all spring- optimistic yet ... While I was not familiar with the two Helen. Both husbands were killed in the crossfire , whom and with whom - to the end is not clear . It is clear that both orphans three children ...
"My husband, Sergei Rudenko did not have to do with politics , was a school bus driver , - says Elena first , the widow of the Slavic . - On Easter night heard that Bylbasovka , at the checkpoint , our teenagers are , and they throw a professional military . Well guys and ran to defend. He had no weapon , he did not attack anyone . Murdered ... "Elena from Mariupol , when I tried to ask how her husband died , Andrew Guzhva , screamed that nothing will not comment on the journalists who have " no tell them that and call her husband or a fascist occupier . " " You are not angry - took me aside girlfriend Helena. - Just Andrew suffered for nothing. Ran into the street when the sky planes roared , then he is bullet - liver and torn ... "
" The guys - retired officers acting policemen - began to meet and discuss the events in Kiev - tells readers " AIF " Vyacheslav Ponomarev , People's Mayor Sloviansk . - Decided that the fascist thugs and not be limited to the capital needed to do something to counter the " maydanizatsii ." We were joined by police beaten and berated from Kiev, we have developed a plan mirror Maidan . Teamed up with other cities of Donetsk region - and away we go . We were constantly officers come from all over Ukraine , we helped with the storming of the Interior Ministry building in Kramatorsk ( the other day, by the way, on the decision of the People's Republic of Donetsk all local "defensive formation " were subordinate Slavic . - Ed.) . What to do? We will not allow a handful of oligarchs from Kiev enjoyed our living conditions in their native land . We want to observe and respect the rights of the East, fair federalization legalization Russian language. We did not ask to Russia , as it continuously writes the Ukrainian media . We love and respect the Russian people , but we want to try to live and pozarabatyvat own. "
" We are not poor relatives"
"We are talking in Russian and dream to establish a relationship with you , Russians , including production - explains Igor Tishchenko, Kramatorsk businessman . - After all , after we quarreled , most businesses do not operate in the region almost - most orders were from Russia . But to join Russia in the south- east of Ukraine , according to the polls , vote no more than 40 % of the population . We do not aspire to be " poor relatives ", and want to be respected friends and good neighbors , partners with Russia . To " Maidan coup" because we have not stood idle production : Slavic and heavy engineering plant in full working and " Betonmash " and Slavic mechanical and Novokramatorsk Machine ... If will work normally , we have much to be friends with Russia . Tired of being called Donbass subsidized , although we work hard and west, and center ! Just our most profitable enterprises registered in Kiev , that all taxes and go there . "
" The standard of living in the country after the " triumph evromaydana "in Ukraine has fallen sharply : the dollar soared almost 2 times , petrol price increased by 40 % , about the harvest this year , apparently , you can forget - commented for " AIF " Tihipko , Ph.D. Ukrainian presidential . - Gone from pharmacies drugs, and then there were twice as expensive ! Well, the last hit of the new government - they abolish social workers, those who helped to solve the problems of the most vulnerable categories of citizens ! East also pushed into a financial abyss . What remains of people as not to protest ? The government is furious - and they tighten the troops here . "
"Our goal - not a strong connection to the neighbor , and disconnect from the " pivot milker " - explained the " AIF " Pushilin Denis , head of the interim government of People's Republic of Donetsk . - That's why May 11 , during the referendum , which we , I hope , will carry out together with the Lugansk , will be asked one question : "Do you support act on the proclamation of independence of the state DNR ? ". After the referendum, the government will choose , determine the structure of the economy and will keep their earnings in their own country . Sorry , Kharkiv has no time to join us - from the center of it threw too many " suppressors " ...
In war as in war
Lives of ordinary people in Slavyansk , Kramatorsk , Mariupol and others full of anxiety. What it is - take the child to daycare in the bushes in front of which can hide a sniper ? Or squat every evening from the buzz of dissecting sky fighters ? " Thank God, though the police have our conscience - do not shoot on his own, - says Anna Trefilenko , pensioner Gorlovki . - To us here and Kiev sent outfits , and Poltava , Kherson and out . But no one arm civilians has not risen , we also fed them ... army also fed , and it hurts to look at them . "
And of saboteurs "right sector," and spies - all this there is clearly lacking. Not enough unless the justice. "Yes, many of us are outraged that " Eastern " protests copied from Kiev, just the opposite pole . So what? Why we could protest , and they can not be ! "- Said on this score Bogdan Babic , a member of the Public Council of Kiev Maidan , head of the Institute of practical politics.
In May 1887 , Chekhov wrote about the Slavic "This city - something like Gogol Mirgorod . Burr under fences , on the dusty streets and green walk pig ladybugs and other indoor creature . " In May 2014 , instead of pigs roaming the streets people with guns ...
