The recent events in Ukraine, in addition to everything, clearly showed what consequences might occur without having a political system. In the presence of this system, the government and opposition find a way out of any crisis. Why? Because they reflect the interests of the citizens, which is caused by collision of crisis situation. The core guarantees of “reflection” are normal, socially acceptable elections, in the result of which politicians are becoming delegates of aforesaid groups of citizens.
Is Viktor Yanukovych, his son (who, they say, has his “share” in all serious businesses), and his Donetsk “brotherhood” the delegates of “half of Ukraine”? Does Klitschko, Yatsenyuk, Tyahnybok, as well as opposition oligarch and Maidan’s main patron Petro Poroshenko present the interests of “the other half of Ukraine”? Of course, no. And since they do not present, what these two groups of politicians agree with each other, these arrangements would not have any significance for Ukrainians.
And this means an absence of a political system. In this case, under severe economic crisis, it is no more possible to halt the crowd and its non-political leaders. And, here begins the anarchy and “pogroms”, while the resistance acquires clearly outlining of civil war.

Failure to solve the crisis through political methods, seems to me, is primary, basic, and Russia’s or the West’s interests – derivative. (In fact, it is exactly the same in Armenia, the problem is in us rather than Putin or Obama). Of course, it is ridiculous when geopolitical players are presenting right the half of the truth. According to Western media, the demonstrators were peacefully standing in Maidan, and the “Berkut” attacked them by using a firearm. This is partly true, but the police officers also died of gunshot wounds. CNN and BBC are also silent on the fact that the crowd in the western Ukraine is attacking the administrative buildings, and with beating and torturing are forcing regional administrators to resign.
None of the politicians, no matter pro-government or opposition, of course, would like the situation to be evolved in that direction. But they are no longer in control of the situation, the political mechanisms are no longer active.
Perhaps, Yanukovych’s resignation may contribute to some relaxation of the situation. However, this is obviously not enough. Whoever the Ukrainian leader will be, he will have to establish elementary order in the country. Is it possible to do in this situation without shedding of blood?
