Russia Bids Farewell

The Ukrainian developments demonstrated that Russia's only opportunity
is neutrality of Ukraine and Georgia, possibly also other countries
located near Russia.
The last stage of the fight for the last positions is felt, and
Russia is looking for new positions if it gives up on the ambitions
that are destroying itself in time. To recover what it did not have
earlier, the statehood, start the new stage of formation of the
Russian state - moderately rich and totally free from ambitions -
which aspires to alliance with NATO.
The understanding that the time to choose has come close best
characterizes Russia which has not been able to choose its own way and
restoration of the new "empire". The Russian people, not the people
living in Russia, as they put it, chose what was close to the
nostalgia of the imperial past: it is farewell to the stage of the
last farewell, and there is nothing else to say.
The Russian people want to live in another way, and only memories and
futile quest for the past which is sometimes evoked under the
influence of emotions rather than boundless illusions. This farewell
party leaves only one thing - make sure that the Ukrainians and
Georgians which are more apt for modern economy to choose neutrality
as a hope for a more or less certain status which will help them avoid
new mistakes and not resemble other nations which have chosen the
European path.
The Russians have a network of agents in Ukraine and especially
Georgia. However, there is no hope in Ukraine, it is a big and
nationalistic state.
The situation is different in Georgia yet there are still people in
Georgia who are ready for sacrifice for the sake of the freedom of
their own people. They are not many but they have to be taken into
account or a lot will go in vain. There is not a scenario of a fast
resolution, together with Russia which may only offer free movement of
migrant workers, thieves and pimps in its territory.
The Ukrainians have built Russia, now they need to build Ukraine.
These countries will never agree to neutrality because that would mean
giving up on their statehood, unlike the Armenians who are indifferent
to their own statehood which survives thanks to circumstances, not the
people. It would have been possible to speak about neutrality 20 years
ago when it was meaningful, when the Western community agreed which
was dealing with something else then which required silence.
Now that the last stage of fight for complete destruction of the
"empire" has set on, two models are left, Sweden or Canada which could
replace the Russian people's dream of "empire". The models of these
northern snow-covered well-off countries are the last dream of the
Russian people, while they can give up on Ukraine and Georgia.
Currently, the Russian political scientists who could have been named
otherwise are advising the Russian government on neutrality of Ukraine
and Georgia and the sooner, the better. The actual government of
Russia agrees to everything, including neutrality which will be
acceptable independent from how neutral these countries will be with
their present status.
The problem is why Russia, despite its immense spending on propaganda,
has not been able to create anything in neighboring countries. The
point is that new orientations have occurred in Ukraine and Georgia
which have nothing to do with the former pro-Western issues.
Absolutely new perceptions of one's own new statehood have occurred in
these countries which Russia and the West beware to the extent of
trying to make no mistake in recognizing the new image. Only Armenia
can return to the old setting, as well as someone in Central Asia.
