About the Little Russia project - the division of Ukraine is not far off. Swan Lake

The head of the self-proclaimed DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, announced the creation of a new state - Little Russia. It should be established within the borders of Ukraine, with the exception of Crimea. Donetsk was chosen as the capital, and Kiev will become the historical and cultural center of the country.


The creation of Little Russia is possible only with international support, said the head of the self-proclaimed DPR Alexander Zakharchenko: “We offer all residents of the former Ukraine a way out of the war through the re-establishment of the country. This is a peaceful way out. It can only take place under a few conditions. First, we must be supported by the residents of the former Ukraine themselves. Secondly, this exit will become possible only if international community, that part of it that is involved in our conflict will support our idea and act as a mediator. This is an offer from Donbass for residents of the former Ukraine, as well as for politicians in Europe and the United States of America. I want to say that this is our first and last proposal, backed up not only by our armed forces, but also by the will to win. "

Alexander Zakharchenko also announced that representatives of “former regions of Ukraine” were working on the Little Russia project. Which ones - he did not specify. The self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic has already denied their participation in the discussion of the plan.

In the Donbass itself, they doubt the feasibility of creating Little Russia. Even if all the parties agree, the implementation of the plan will be delayed due to legal difficulties, says the former head of the Supreme Council of the so-called DPR Boris Litvinov: “The statement of Alexander Vladimirovich is still declarative. We have the DPR constitution, which says: changes in the territorial and state structure require parliamentary discussion. He is on vacation now. This issue was not discussed in the deputy corps. Alexander Vladimirovich proposes, for example, to establish a state of emergency for three years, during which elections do not take place. And our powers of the head of state will expire in a year ”.

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has already announced that Ukraine will restore its sovereignty in Donbass and Crimea.

Igor Strelkov said in an interview with Kommersant FM.

The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating Little Russia is an attempt to influence the implementation of the Minsk agreements and the process of peace negotiations, says the Kiev political scientist Aleksey Kurpas: “Zakharchenko's move is absolutely clear: Little Russia is the second attempt to create a federal state. If this happens, then all previous agreements will have to be revised. This wasting time will play into the hands of Russia, because now the advantage in the negotiation process is on the side of France, Germany and the United States. "

According to representatives of the DPR, Little Russia will be a federal state with broad autonomy, its creation will be dealt with by a constitutional assembly, which will consist of representatives from all regions of Ukraine.

The head of the DPR announced the creation of Little Russia - a federal state, which will include 19 regions of Ukraine. Later it turned out that the LPR did not plan to become a part of it, and Zakharchenko did not discuss the initiative with the Kremlin.

Project "Novorossiya"

After the events in Ukraine in 2013-2014, Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics were proclaimed in part of the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In May 2014, unofficial referendums were held there. After, according to the organizers, the majority of those who voted in favor of the independence of the republics from Kiev, the governing bodies of the DPR and LPR were formed.

The General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine recognized the DPR and LPR as terrorist organizations.

On May 24, 2014, the day before the presidential elections in Ukraine, in Donetsk, DPR Prime Minister Aleksandr Borodai and Chairman of the LPR People's Council Aleksey Karjakin signed a document on unification as part of the “state of Novorossiya”.

According to the document, the self-proclaimed republics retained their independence.

Historically, Novorossia was the name for the territories of the Northern Black Sea region, which were annexed to the Russian Empire as a result of the Russian-Turkish wars in the second half of the 18th century. After the revolution, the lands of Novorossiya were divided between the formed Ukrainian SSR and the Russian SFSR.

At the congress in Donetsk, the United National Front was created, which was supposed to operate in the south-east of Ukraine and unite supporters of federalization.

“The declaration assumes that the DPR and LPR as independent states create an alliance on the basis of this joint declaration. The Constitution of the Union of People's Republics is planned to be adopted three months after the adoption of the constitutions of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic. The Union of People's Republics is ready to consider proposals for joining international unions, unions and associations. "

The interests of Novorossiya in the union were to be represented by the political movement "Novorossiya". It was announced that the purpose of the union is cooperation in the economic, military and other spheres.

“We do not recognize the president and parliament of Ukraine. Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics are independent states. This is my position. Therefore, we will recognize the government and the elected president only from a position if they are ready to recognize the independence of the Donbass republics. And second, they must immediately withdraw their troops from the borders of our people's republics and stop any hostilities. "

Head of the People's Militia of Donbass Pavel Gubarev on his Facebook page

Oleg Tsarev was elected speaker of the parliament of the Union of People's Republics. The union had its own constitution, in the text of which the SNR was proclaimed "a democratic, confederal, rule of law state, where the rights of citizens are recognized and protected."

Russia about Novorossiya

The territory of southeastern Ukraine was named Novorossiya during the direct line of Vladimir Putin. “Another thing is the center, east, south-east of Ukraine. I also talked about this now, about Novorossia, which, of course, is rooted in the Russian state, and these are people with a slightly different mentality, ”the president said, commenting on the situation in Ukraine.

The term "Novorossia" in relation to the territories of the DPR and LPR sounded in the report of the Russian Foreign Ministry dated September 25, 2014 about the meeting of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with US Secretary of State John Kerry the day before. “The situation in Ukraine was discussed in the context of the ongoing efforts to ensure a stable ceasefire in the southeast and the establishment of a direct dialogue between the authorities in Kiev and the leadership of Novorossia in the context of their implementation of the Minsk agreements on the basis of the peace initiatives of Russian President V.V. Putin, ”the document says.

At the end of 2014, the Levada Center conducted a survey "What is New Russia?" 46% of Russians answered that this is a historically formed region in the south of Russia, 25% - that this is a historical term that does not mean anything today, 8% consider Novorossia "a myth invented now in Moscow", and another 21% of respondents found it difficult to answer.

On May 31, the official flag of Novorossiya was approved - a scarlet rectangular cloth with an azure St. Andrew's cross with a silver border - a modified flag of the Russian fleet. On June 1, it was posted in front of the building of the Donetsk regional administration.

The Novorossiya project was supposed to cover nine regions of Ukraine: Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, Kherson, Nikolaev, Odessa. According to the head of Gubarev, the separation of the regions was planned to be carried out through referendums. Despite its territorial claims, in fact, the leadership of Novorossiya since the moment of proclamation controlled only part of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

On May 18, 2015, in an interview with the Vechernyaya Makeyevka newspaper, DPR Foreign Minister Alexander Kofman announced the completion of the Novorossiya project. He explained this by the reluctance of some regions to unite.

“As for the Novorossiya project ... due to the fact that the popular explosion occurred earlier than we planned, since we could not keep the population at the rallies, our supporters in other regions - in Odessa, Kharkov, also rose earlier than expected. As a result, more than 40 of our guys died in Odessa, many activists were arrested in Kharkov, and the republics that were supposed to be created in these regions were beheaded. Therefore, the Novorossiya project is closed for some time - until a new political elite grows up in all these regions, capable of leading the movement. Well, we have no right to impose our opinion on Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Odessa. "

The speaker of the parliament of Novorossia, Oleg Tsarev, specified that the project was frozen due to the fact that the creation of Novorossiya violates the Minsk agreements signed by the leadership of the DPR and LPR with Ukraine. He also added that the project could be resumed "if Kiev violates the announced ceasefire, if there is an escalation of hostilities."

Little Russia project

On July 18, 2017, the head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko on the creation of Little Russia with the capital in Donetsk.

“We all gathered here to talk about the future. We propose a plan for the country's reintegration through law and constitution. We must build a new country where the concepts of conscience and honor are not forgotten. We offer the citizens of Ukraine a peaceful way out of this difficult situation, without war. This is our last proposal not only to Ukrainians, but also to all countries that supported the civil war in Donbass. I am convinced that we will do everything possible and impossible. "

Territory

According to Zakharchenko, 19 regions of the former Ukraine (excluding Crimea) will be part of Little Russia. The territory of the declared new state may be about 577 thousand square meters. km.

Now the area of \u200b\u200bindividual districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions with a special procedure for self-government is more than 15 thousand square meters. km - about a third of the total area of \u200b\u200bDonetsk and Lugansk regions. In the list of settlements under the control of separatists in Donbass, in addition to Donetsk and Lugansk, there are 22 cities of regional significance. In February 2017, the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, signed a decree establishing the status of the state border for the line of contact between the DPR and Ukraine. The line of contact is defined as a conditional demarcation between the territory where the settlements are located under the control of the state authorities of Ukraine and the territory under the control of the state bodies of the unrecognized DPR.

Flag

Zakharchenko named the flag of Bohdan Khmelnytsky as the flag of the proclaimed state.

Build

Little Russia was proclaimed a federal state with broad regional autonomy. The central government is in charge of the federal budget, the army, special services, customs, the Central Bank, the tax police, the environmental situation, as well as basic standards of education and medicine. Zakharchenko noted that in order to adopt a new constitution throughout the territory of the proclaimed state, it is proposed to introduce a state of emergency for up to three years.

Principles and goals

When preparing the constitution, it is proposed to rely on the principle of military neutrality, traditional values, "which are based on the Orthodox picture of the world," with the equality of traditional religions.

Also, as a principle, it is proposed to use the refusal to raise the retirement age, freeze and a possible reduction in utility tariffs. If the EU agrees, it is proposed to maintain the visa-free regime introduced in 2017.

Economy

Little Russia, as conceived by the drafters of the constitutional act, should become an economic "bridge" between "East and West, North and South", resume participation in the CIS, take a course towards joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus, and also cooperate with the EAEU. It is planned to create state-owned concerns in key industries.

The Little Russian province was created as part of the Russian Empire in 1764 after the liquidation of the Hetmanate. In 1765-1773, the administrative center of the province was the city of Glukhov, then the center was briefly moved to Kozelets, and in 1775 - to Kiev. However, already in the fall of 1781, the Little Russian province was divided into Novgorod-Seversk, Chernigov and Kiev governorship.

In 1796 the Little Russian province was recreated, and this time it included not only the territory of the three governorships, but also the outskirts of Poltava and Kremenchug. At the same time, Kiev was withdrawn from the province, and Chernigov took its place as the provincial center.

In 1802, the Little Russian province was divided into the Chernigov and Poltava provinces, which were part of the Little Russia general government, to which the Kharkov province was later annexed. Until 1837, the residence of the governor-general was Poltava, and from 1837 until the abolition of the general-governorship in 1856 - Kharkov.

After 1856 the name "Little Russia" until 1917 was semi-officially used to collectively designate the Volyn, Kiev, Podolsk, Kharkov, Poltava and Chernigov provinces.

Despite the fact that the message on the "News of the Donetsk Republic" portal said that the authorities of the DPR and LPR took the decision to create Little Russia jointly, the LPR denied its participation in the project. Vladimir Degtyarenko, Chairman of the People's Council of the LPR, said that the authorities of the self-proclaimed republic did not participate in signing the document. In addition, he added that he did not consider the creation of Little Russia expedient.

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, commenting on Zakharchenko's initiative, that Little Russia will face the same fate as the project of creating Novorossiya. A recording of his speech appeared on his Twitter page, in which he speaks of Russia's desire to split Ukraine in half with the help of the Novorossiya project.

“This project is completely closed. The new army of Ukraine stopped the Russian aggression. When I was elected president, the entire Donbass was occupied by Russia. We liberated two thirds of the territory of Donbass, including Severodonetsk, Lisichansk, Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Mariupol and many other cities. We have destroyed Russia's dream of Novorossiya, ”Poroshenko said.

        • Ukrainian political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky on the proclamation of Little Russia:
        "The proclamation of Little Russia is an increase in rates and a toughening of the position" ...
        According to Pogrebinsky, the proclamation of Little Russia is not yet a final decision, but evidence of a toughening of the position of representatives of Donbass, as well as an attempt to "raise the stakes" and give several signals at once.
        One of them is addressed to Kiev, which has already “crossed all the red lines” by various laws on reintegration and violations of the Minsk agreements. DPR representatives say directly that the current Ukrainian government is illegitimate, which means that it is pointless to conduct further negotiations with it. The Kiev elite "with all sorts of Poroshenko, Turchynov and Yatsenyuk" is simply taken out of the legal field, the political strategist explained in an interview with the newspaper "Vzglyad".
        Another signal can be sent to the United States, which are now showing stubbornness in the situation around the diplomatic property of the Russian Federation. Here Pogrebinsky sees the role of Moscow, which thus makes it clear that in case of refusal to lift the arrest, it will not restrain the collapse of Ukraine.
        The political scientist also noted that formally the DPR would not even violate the Minsk agreements, which presuppose the integrity of the Independent. Representatives of Donbass do not propose to divide the country, but want to turn it into Little Russia - a new state in which there will be no place for "Bandera" and corruption.

        So, finally, what has been expected by so many in Russia and Ukraine has finally come true. A fresh, constructive idea was proposed for resolving the Ukrainian crisis, which has long been deadlocked in its current format.
        And, symptomatically, it was proposed not by the “pocket” opposition in Kiev and not by the stupid Ukrainian emigration in Moscow, but by a man who in Donbass and the entire South-East personifies the struggle for the ideas of justice and peace. Alexander Zakharchenko.

        “We believe that the state of Ukraine in the form that it was cannot be restored. We, the representatives of the regions of the former Ukraine, with the exception of Crimea, declare the establishment of a new state, which is the successor of Ukraine, ”said the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko.
        According to him, the capital of Little Russia will henceforth be the city of Donetsk, and the city of Kiev remains a historical and cultural center without the status of a capital city.
        Hardly anyone would argue that Zakharchenko would have dared to voice such bold, even revolutionary statements without the consent of Moscow. This means that the Kremlin approved these ideas - and most likely even generated them.
        A bad signal for the current Kiev criminal authorities - from now on, Russia will gradually begin to rely not only (and not so much) on the long-rotten Minsk agreements, but on the concept of building a new Ukraine - Little Russia.
        And not in the format of the rabidly Bandera Russophobic Ukraine, but in the format of a friendly state to Russia (and the rest of its neighbors). That was emphasized by Zakharchenko himself.

        “We agree that the new state will be called Little Russia, since the very name“ Ukraine ”has discredited itself,” the DPR head added.
        The idea of \u200b\u200b"Ukraine is not Russia" promoted by Kuchma, and earlier voiced by Dontsov in his "integral nationalism" led to a civil war, loss of territories and a growing split within the state and society.
        most of the Ukrainian politicians who fled to Russia, who dare to call themselves "political emigrants", did not dare to openly voice the thesis: Ukraine outside the Russian World is not viable! Only in close alliance with Russia (or as part of it) Ukraine-Little Russia can live in peace and develop. Europe, by and large, does not need these lands, and the EU will never recognize Ukrainians as equals and will not accept them.
        What today's Ukrainians are convinced of every day. In a country that is rapidly turning into Ruin, threatening to suck into this deadly whirlpool and part of its neighbors in Europe.
        In contrast to the crazy initiatives of Poroshenko and his entourage, which are destroying the country and leading to impoverishment and extinction of the population, the head of the DPR (I hope soon - and the whole of Little Russia) proposed real measures to get out of the tailspin into which Ukraine fell after the Maidan.
        “In view of the avoidance of chaos, we propose to introduce a state of emergency for three years, during this time the activities of any parties are prohibited, at the same time, investigations with the involvement of the international community on crimes in Odessa, Maidan, and Donbass begin. This decision has matured a long time ago, but everything has its time, and today we offer the option that will stop the war, ”Zakharchenko said.
        We have yet to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of these measures, but Oleksandr Zakharchenko said that consultations were already being held with both ordinary citizens and representatives of the authorities and business of various regions of Ukraine.
        But personally I am sure that the idea of \u200b\u200bLittle Russia is to be! since Ukraine and its current ideology have completely exhausted themselves and pose a threat both to Europe and Russia, and to their own citizens.
        Zakharchenko shares this view of things.

        So, the first emotions have subsided, opinions have been expressed, it's time to sort it out. And why does Russia actually need the Little Russia project?

        Actually, there is nothing fundamentally new in the idea of \u200b\u200bLittle Russia. It can be viewed as the next stage in the development of the Novorossiya project, shelved back in 2014. But why today? And for what purpose did Moscow remember him?
        Actually, there is nothing fundamentally new in logic. Perhaps the geography has become somewhat larger. Now we are talking about all of Ukraine, which must be liberated, relying on the resources of the Donbass and Russia. But from whom and when? Really from the Poroshenko regime, the legitimacy of which Russia recognized in the spring of 2014?

        Not. Everything is much more complicated and simpler at the same time. The Little Russia project is not being created to fight the Poroshenko regime, which today suits Moscow quite well. But for the same reason, it does not suit Washington in its current form, and since it still has every opportunity to destroy it, the likelihood of such a development of the situation is clearly great to be neglected.
        What should Russia do if the United States, having fully understood the situation and realizing that the Poroshenko regime will lead to the destruction of the “Ukraine is not Russia” project in the foreseeable future, and globally break their plans, try to destroy it and bring outright Nazis to power?

        This is precisely why the Little Russia project is being created. Given this development of events, Moscow immediately recognizes this government, which by that time should (if it can, which is not yet obvious) develop a program based on a new idea (re-assembling Ukraine on new principles, which has already been announced). In this case, the war in Ukraine will flare up again, and even then no one will stop the corps until Lviv, which will be taken either by them or by the Poles. In any case, no one will leave the anti-Russian gasket.
        By the way, by this time PMCs in Syria will be free (Private military companies (PMCs; English Private military company) about which everyone prefers to remain silent in the media (but they exist, although they are called differently) and they can form the backbone for the formation of two more corps And at the same time, internal strife within Ukraine will cause ferment within the army of the split junta and it remains to be seen how all this will end if there are two illegitimate governments on its territory.

        Also, the Little Russia project will be in demand if, with the legitimate transfer of power after Poroshenko, the new president somehow does not suit Washington and he follows the scenario of the third Maidan. Probably, in this case, Moscow will not recognize the legitimacy of the new coup and will prefer to officially work with Donetsk, especially since by that moment it will be fully prepared to return to Ukraine.
        In general, the Malorossiya project, like the previous Novorossiya project, is an alternative to Minsk.
        If the United States does not agree to its implementation and tries to start an escalation inside Ukraine, then the new project will allow Moscow to destroy these plans and deprive Washington of the opportunity to disrupt its game.

        The unification of the two "people's republics" will allow the project operators to carry out personnel rotations in the leadership of the Donbass republics, get rid of no longer relevant characters and bring new figures to the fore

        The idea is to distinguish ours from others. It is shameful to rob "friends", but "strangers" can be robbed without a twinge of conscience.
        So the idea is always to rob one or another in one way or another - that's the whole idea.

        I think that Mr. Warrior-Writer thinks that they are trying to rob him. Therefore, he went to fight along with those who think the same way (Ivan Starikov, for example, also thinks so that Russians and Ukrainians are one people, which means that those who want to divide this people and have already divided them, they do it with the aim of this people first quarrel with themselves, and then, when weakened - to rob).

        Dear Naum. You are again about your democracy. And democracy is not an idea. It's just one way to manage property. The democratic way involves hiring an effective manager for a management position. If he does not cope well with his responsibilities to manage the property, then the owners change him to a more efficient one.
        Other management methods imply not replacing an ineffective manager, but replacing ineffective owners with effective ones. That's all Pupkin's arithmetic with pictures.

        How can I tell you ....
        Two days ago there was an interesting discussion about patriotism here. (I read it with pleasure).
        A few pennies in this discussion ...
        The word patriotism is derived from the word Father. Just like Fatherland is also derived from the word Father. So it turns out that the basis of patriotism is respect for their Fathers (ancestors), for their deeds. Moreover, with respect and reverence it is necessary to treat both their "glorious" deeds, and those mistakes and miscalculations - "not glorious" deeds. The historical experience of our predecessors - patriots, both positive and negative - is the basis of patriotism. And if someone takes something selectively from this experience (for example, from the Soviet past, or from the tsarist past, or the princely past, or the general Slavic past), and accepts something, and denies something, then such a person is understanding the meaning of this word cannot be considered a patriot.
        If forces appeared in Ukraine that are trying to destroy the memory of the deeds of our ancestors, take something from this past in today, and delete another as a shameful page of their ancestors, then these forces are clearly antipatriotic - aimed at destroying their people. Prilepin is fighting these forces. Doesn't sit in the bushes. That means he understands his patriotic duty that way. This inspires respect in me. But those who are now trying to fight their Soviet, tsarist, princely and all-Slavic ancestors - they do not cause me respect.

        "Or a banal robbery."

        Well, let's all the same proceed from the fact that the so-called "robbery" was, is and will always be, that under "democracies" (with effective managers, periodically replaced), that under unitary methods of management. There are always enough people who think that they are "underpaid" for the work done, they are "underestimated". And there is always a smaller number of people, but it is to whom the main property belongs, who believe that for the money that they pay, they are "underperforming", and these "underperforming" themselves "overestimate".
        The so-called conflict of interest. Thanks to the conflict of interests (contradiction), development takes place. If there were no conflict, there would be no development. There would be degradation and subsequent extinction.

        I recently argued with one stubborn former political officer. Under Soviet rule, he was a stubborn communist, and now he has become an equally stubborn anti-Soviet - he sees everything that was under Soviet rule only in black.
        I ask him: "Why don't you love your father, grandfather, great-grandfather so much?"
        And he told me:
        - And where is my father, grandfather and great-grandfather? They were worthy people.
        And a person cannot understand that the history of a country is not something so abstract. This is the story of hundreds of thousands of families. And his family as well. By blackening the history of his country, he blackens the history of these hundreds of thousands of families, and the history of his family as well.

        We cannot stop scientific and technological progress, can we? Therefore, scientific and technical breakthrough discoveries - revolutions - occur periodically.
        And social revolutions follow them. This - inevitably happens.
        Was the first bourgeois revolution in Holland? Was. And in France The great revolution... And in England. And in Russia. These were all revolutions, because following the scientific and technical progress of the mode of production, the main owners also changed.
        And in 1991 we had a revolution.
        But the Maidan (and other "color revolutions") is not a revolution, whatever you call it, because there was no change of ownership due to scientific and technological progress. This is a palace coup between the same major owners.

Representatives of the unrecognized Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, as well as 19 regions of Ukraine, announced in Donetsk the creation of the state of Little Russia, the DAN news agency reports. At the meeting of delegates, the constitutional act was read out by and. about. Alexander Timofeev, deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the unrecognized DPR. “We, representatives of the former regions of Ukraine (with the exception of Crimea), declare the establishment of a new state, which is the legal successor of Ukraine. We agree that the new state will be called Little Russia, since the very name “Ukraine” has discredited itself, ”DAN quotes. The leadership of the self-proclaimed LPR, however, dissociated itself from this initiative within a few hours.

First, the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, read out a political declaration, which substantiates the need to create Little Russia: this is intended to "stop the civil war and avoid new victims."

Donetsk will become the capital of Little Russia, Interfax reports. The participants in the meeting agree to leave Kiev as a historical and cultural center without the status of a capital city. "The national flag of Little Russia is recognized as the flag of Bohdan Khmelnitsky ... We proceed from the fact that the Donetsk People's Republic, along with the Luhansk People's Republic, remain the only territories of Ukraine, not counting the Crimea, in which legitimate power has remained," Zakharchenko quotes Interfax.

According to Timofeev, Little Russia will be a federal state with broad autonomy, the central authorities will remain in charge of the budget, the army and the special services, RIA Novosti reports. He noted that the future Constitution of Little Russia will imply a non-aligned status of the country, equality of traditional religions and confessions, resumption of participation in the activities of the CIS, restoration of ties with Russia and negotiations in the trilateral format "Little Russia - Russia - European Union", he added.

Timofeev also stressed that the creation of Little Russia does not contradict the Minsk agreements. “Ukraine is disappearing. In Minsk there is no definition of what and what should be called there, there is the integrity of the borders, sovereignty. So we proclaimed the integrity of the borders of Little Russia and sovereignty. Therefore, we do not contradict Minsk. But if we are not heard peacefully, we will go by the military way, "Interfax quotes him.

Zakharchenko proposed to introduce a state of emergency in the new country for three years "in order to avoid chaos." At this time, he proposed to ban the activities of any parties and start "investigations with the involvement of the international community on crimes in Odessa, on the Maidan, in the Donbass."

"This decision has matured a long time ago, but everything has its time, and today we are offering the option that will stop the war," Zakharchenko said. He called the authorities in Kiev illegitimate and incapable of stopping the war, despite the fact that the situation in Donbass was tied into a knot that "can no longer be cut." According to him, the participants in the event propose a plan for the country's reintegration. “Not so long ago, we launched a state program to unite the peoples of Donbass, we offer all residents of Ukraine a way out of the war through the re-establishment of the country, this is a peaceful way out. But there are several conditions - the residents of Ukraine themselves must support him. We have already held consultations with representatives of the authorities and business of the regions, as well as if the international community supports the idea. This is our first and last proposal, "Interfax quotes.

The delegates gathered in Donetsk unanimously approved the constitutional act and the new declaration, DAN reports. These included representatives of Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Kherson, Nikolaev, Odessa, Sumy, Poltava, Chernigov, Kirovograd regions, Kiev and Kiev region, Cherkassk, Rovnensk, Volyn, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv regions. Who exactly represents these regions is not specified in the DAN report.

“The Constitution of Little Russia is prepared and adopted in its original version by the Constitutional Assembly and then submitted to a national referendum. This will be preceded by a broad public discussion both at the regional and federal levels, ”the constitutional act says.

The LPR were surprised

“The Lugansk People's Republic did not send its official delegates to Donetsk to participate in the meeting of representatives of the regions of Ukraine. Moreover, we were not even aware of the intention to hold this event, this issue was not coordinated with us, ”said Vladimir Degtyarenko, chairman of the LPR People's Council. He is quoted by the Lugansk Information Center. According to him, "at the moment the expediency of such a step raises great doubts," since such decisions "can only be made taking into account the opinion of the people themselves."

“In addition, today we observe the Minsk agreements, which have no alternative,” Degtyarenko recalled. According to him, the leadership of the LPR is ready to discuss the issue of creating a new state if such a proposal is received, but this issue has not been submitted for consideration.

Kiev's reaction to the proclamation of Little Russia

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, who is on a visit to Georgia, commented on the new initiative, UNIAN reports with reference to the press secretary of the head of state Svyatoslav Tsegolko. “The Novorossiya project was buried. Ukraine will renew its sovereignty over Donbass and Crimea, ”Tsegolko wrote on Twitter. At a press conference in Tbilisi, Poroshenko also noted that Zakharchenko is not an independent political figure, but a puppet transmitting messages from the Kremlin, UNIAN reports.

Ukraine will insist on the continuation of the meetings of the contact group on the settlement of the conflict in Donbass, despite the statement on the creation of Little Russia. As reported by TASS, this is the TV channel “112. Ukraine ”said the representative of Ukraine in the subgroup on security of the contact group Yevhen Marchuk. The group will evaluate the initiative to declare a new state, he added. Marchuk specified that Kiev will first of all raise this issue at the meeting of the contact group, which is scheduled for Wednesday, and will also turn to the OSCE with a request to give an official assessment on this matter. “I expect moves from the Russian side to block the Minsk process. Zakharchenko's statement was made to block the negotiation process altogether, ”UNN quoted Marchuk as saying.

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchinov said that the statement about Malorosiya is "a perverse nonsense that was written in the Kremlin" and voiced by Kremlin puppets and which "testifies to the desire of Moscow" strategists "to resume the advance of military aggression to the west pulling new regions of Ukraine into bloody millstones ”, UNIAN quotes. These "provocative plans", in his opinion, are another argument in favor of the adoption of the law "On the specifics of state policy to restore the state sovereignty of Ukraine over the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions." He also expressed confidence that the Malorossiya project would suffer the fate of the Novorossiya project in 2014.

Moscow's reaction

“I think the population will perceive this positively, but the international community will negatively, and someone will turn a blind eye to it, they will understand, but will not approve. Russia will react to this positively, ”said Leonid Kalashnikov, chairman of the Duma committee for CIS affairs, Eurasian integration and relations with compatriots, to RIA Novosti. He told Interfax that Zakharchenko can be understood humanly, but the proclamation of Little Russia may contradict the Minsk agreements and he, Kalashnikov, as the head of the Duma committee, cannot support Zakharchenko's decision. Although as a communist and deputy has long been calling on Russia to recognize the LPR and DPR. The deputy said to RIA Novosti that the creation of such a state would be inevitable and would be a way out of the impasse, and Interfax said that the leaders of the DPR should "be more careful in such things."

The decision to create Little Russia was caused by Kiev's policy towards the DPR and LPR and Kiev's failure to comply with the Minsk agreements, Vyacheslav Nikonov, chairman of the Duma Education Committee, an expert in international affairs, told Interfax. In his opinion, thus, the people's republics de facto leave the Ukrainian economic and legal space, and Kiev should not forget that the question of whether these regions belong to Ukraine will ultimately be decided by their population.

Alexei Chesnakov, director of the Center for Current Politics, does not believe in the future of the Little Russia project. “The initiative is from the category of senseless ideological creativity and has nothing to do with a real political and, moreover, a state project,” the expert told Vedomosti. Russia will not support Zakharchenko's initiative, he believes: “In Russia, they will hardly be able to take these statements seriously, even if they really want to. This is also proved by the position of the representatives of Lugansk, who have already stated that they were not aware of such an initiative. "

Chesnakov does not expect complications of the situation in Donbass in connection with Zakharchenko's statement: “I think in a month many will forget about this statement”.

MOSCOW, July 18 - RIA Novosti. The authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic announced the need to create a new state - Little Russia. According to the draft constitutional document, the country will become a federation with broad regional powers, while issues of the budget, army and special services will remain under the jurisdiction of the central authorities.

The authors of the initiative expect that not only the territories of the DPR and LPR, but also other regions will become part of Little Russia. A special meeting will be engaged in the development of the future constitution, in which all the subjects of the future federation will be represented.

"Failed state"

According to the head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko, the creation of Little Russia will help stop the civil war in Ukraine and will lead the country out of the impasse. He stressed that the new state will be formed for three years, which in the republic is called a transitional period.

"To stop the civil war, we discussed the situation and came to the conclusion that Ukraine has shown itself as a failed state. The Kiev regime is unable to stop the civil war," Zakharchenko told reporters.

"We must be supported by residents of the regions. This way out is possible if the international community supports the idea. We propose to establish the state of Little Russia," he added.

According to Zakharchenko, a state of emergency should be introduced in the country during the transition period. The head of the DPR is confident that this time will be enough to adopt a new constitution and restore order.

According to DPR officials, the flag of Bohdan Khmelnitsky may become the state flag of Little Russia.

Timofeev noted that the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a new state does not contradict the Minsk agreements.

"This is the fulfillment of Minsk. In Minsk there is no definition of what and what should be called there, there is the integrity of borders, sovereignty. So, we have proclaimed the sovereignty and integrity of borders," the representative of the self-proclaimed republic explained.

LPR position

Chairman of the People's Council of the self-proclaimed LPR Vladimir Degtyarenko told reporters that the republic did not send its representatives to the meeting in Donetsk. According to the official, the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating Little Russia came as a surprise to Lugansk.

"Moreover, we were not even aware of the intention to hold this event, this issue was not coordinated with us," - quotes Degtyarenko, "Lugansk Information Center".

According to him, now the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a new state raises "great doubts."

"After all, such decisions can only be made taking into account the opinion of the people themselves. In addition, today we comply with the Minsk agreements, which have no alternative. We are ready to discuss this issue if proposals are received," the LPR representative emphasized.

Later, the DPR noted that there are no regulations on the creation of a new state yet.

“There are no political tasks in this direction for the parliaments of the DPR and LPR. When setting such tasks by the leadership, we are ready for discussion. However, at the moment this is just an idea that is so far perceived rather ambiguously in the LPR, DPR, and Russian Federation", - said the speaker of the DPR parliament Denis Pushilin.

Poroshenko's reaction

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko reacted to the DPR's proposal to create a new state.

"The Novorossiya project was buried. Ukraine will restore sovereignty over Donbass and Crimea," his press secretary Svyatoslav Tsegolko quotes Poroshenko as saying on his page in
