On the night from Thursday to Friday somebody
pasted leaflets on doorways addressed to pensioners. They were invited
to come to the Palace of Youth with passports and promised that "Nasha
Ukraina"s leader Viktor Yushchenko would give them 165 UAH.
I saw these freezing old men standed under Palace of Youth.
Somebody heartlessly betrayed them again with one purpose - to ruin the
Forum of democratic forces with Viktor Yushchenko and his colleagues.
The plan was that hungry old men would come and take by storm a hall,
where the Forum would be held. But old men were waiting in the street
like lambs…
At the square near Palace students were freezing under anti-yushchenko
posters. They were taken here like lambs. Somebody heartless didn't think
that they are people too and could have their own opinion. Boys were supplied
by police whistles and had to whistle to muffly Ivan Plushch's, Viktor
Yushchenko's, Volodymyr,'s Seretovych, Volodymyr Javorivskyy's speeches..."Guys,
what organization do you represent?"-"We're by ourselfs"
They drew aside their eyes and heads when they were photographed. They
were ashamed.
But army-guys, who unloaded antiyushchenko-posters weren't ashamed, they
didn't draw aside their eyes. Strong men, who arrived on "Mercedes"
extorted camera from journalist's hands and spoiled a film. After that
they threatened. Interesting, how could "Mercedes" arrive to
the square if vehicular traffic was prohibited? There were also many police-officers
and civilian-dressed people with keen eyes.
Delegates from districts said, that police tried not to allow buses come
to Kherson. Delegation from Genychesk couldn't burst their cordons...
In the hall there were many people with beforehand prepared notes, printed
or handwritten.
They delivered their notes to the stage and went out. They weren't interested
in answers.
One and a half thousand people were trying to get into the hall, but the
doors to the balcony were closed. One part of Palace of Youth's employees
told that there were construction works being done, others - that keys
were lost. People, who arrived to the Forum from hundreds of kilometers
away didn't believe and broke the lock, there weren't any construction
works.
After such a lawlessness, meanness and falce we wanted one thing: those,
who the Authorities were fighting against, whi they are so histerically
afraid of - we wanted them to win.
Apotheosis was a pig, that was let out in front of Palace. Unlucky animal
chirped and was droven from place to place by police. Why? It isn't clear.
Why is opposition so terrible and for whom? What should be "whistled"
by police whistles so that people wouldn't hear anything?
The fact that the list of the reachest people of Ukraine is headed by
non-businessmen but by State workers, who stealed national wealth?
The fact that pension in Ukraine is 9 $, while in Belarus it's 27$ and
in Russia - 23? The fact that every 3-rd pensioner has now only 40% from
living minimal wage because of State politic?
The astonishing fact is that even in Azerbaijan, that lost the war with
Armenia, wages are higher than we have?
The leader of "Nasha Ukraina" told, that 13 years ago German
Bundesbank forecasted, that our country could become one of the reachest
countries in West Europe. Instead of this from 48 millions of citizens
of Ukraine 1,2 millions are mentally deseased, 740 thousands - oncodeseased,
720 thousands are alcoholics, 550 thousands have AIDS, 680 thousands have
tuberculosis. It's clear that someone didn't want us to hear that every
quarter quantity of Ukraine's population decreases on 120 thousands of
people. Because after that it's very easy to make conclusion, that heads
of State, the reachests people of the country, led nation to a dying out.
Those who made this "show" at the square in front of Palace
of Youth justify their actions: "we've had instruction from the top-management,
we're state workers and should do that".
True, producers of this "show" aren't from Kherson.
In Internet there is an article about the Forum of democratic forces on
24 of October in Byla Tserkva - there were the same untalanted posters,
and police blocked all traffic the same way, afraid that pigs would ran
out of the square…
As to the argument: "we are state workers and by the law should carry
out guidelines of the top-management" there is a citation of philosophy's
classic: "…A majority serves the State such a way: not as people
but as machines, by their bodies. They consist of constant army, police,
warders, serve as witnesses to sheriff ets. In both of ocassions they
shouldn't use intellect or morality: they are such a tree, earth and stones;
maybe it'll be possible to construct wooden people, who won't be not less
useful. Such people arise respect not more than a straw scarecrow or clay
idols. They cost not more than horses or dogs. But exactly they are usually
called good citizens. Others, such as majority of legislative establishment,
politicians, legislators, priests and officials serve the State by their
braines; and as they rarely can see moral differences so could serve both
for devil, and for God. Only a few of them - heroes, patriots, martyrs,
reformers in some sense real people serve the State by their conscience,
that's why resist the State, and it and it usually considers them as enemies"…
It was said by Henry Toro in his work "About civil disobedience"
back in 1849.
