At some point I realized that I always try to find something good and useful for the future in disgusting facts. What can be good in disgusting story with grenade near Ukrainian Parliament? Really, a lot of good, our authorities got an opportunity to start thinking and stop irritating people. Everybody remember the statement… The best way to corrupt society is to punish innocent instead of punishing guilty. The authorities who are for sure very brave ladies and gentlemen haven’t understood yet that grenades can be (and will be in the nearest future) thrown not in the direction of soldiers, but in the direction of real addressees. Our authorities found very stupid distracting maneuver and tried to link grenade near the Parliament to the case regarding assassination attempt on the minister of Internal Affairs. I am amused by the perseverance of such people who are moving straight into a concrete wall increasing the speed.

There is one interesting moment, arrests of members of “Svoboda” party. I’ve been always feeling sick when there was something related to “Svoboda” party. Decoratively-flashy “patriots” always smell pretty bad and they look disgusting. People hate those who steal and lie, like Party of Regions, those who gave hope and took it away later get despised. “Svoboda” has its own area, several Regions on the West, who were thinking that Mr. Tyagnybok is modern reincarnation of Stepan Bandera, he positioned himself like that and his supporters were waiting when his party will finally get real power. In case somebody didn’t notice, they already had power. Right after Maidan they had several ministers in the Cabinet of Ministers and even General Prosecutor. They had an opportunity to do what they declared before. It was already said a lot about ministers from “Svoboda” Shvaika and Mohnyk, but there is no sense to repeat rumors, let’s have a look at something on the surface.

Strong patriot in traditional embroidered shirt, General Prosecutor a member of same party, ally of “modern reincarnation” got ideal opportunity to get even with bandits from Donetsk and Lugansk who robbed Ukraine, who later became traitors of Ukraine. Everybody remember the result, they can see it and they know it. The investigation of killings on Maidan didn’t move anywhere, Efremof got the bracelet only after “two General Prosecutors”, nobody from Party of Regions was charged. Tsaryov lost his immunity. And now try to answer the question what the person who is a follower of Bandera and Shukhevich and who has power would be able to do with Tsaryov-Olyinyk-Kolysnychenko and others.

What is good in that? Prison is a good way to refresh brain activity for a politician. There is always a chance to become Nelson Mandella. This is a good opportunity to accumulate anger against those who fabricated criminal case against you and revenge after you get out. Ukrainian nationalism got enough doze of anger needed for changes and to start putting criminals to prisons, to fight with current regime that tries to sit on two chairs at the same time, on European bourgeois chair and on Russian stool. Now is the right time for you to decide what side you support, dear nationalists in traditional embroidered shirts and with a book of Taras Shevchenko in your hands. Are you with those who is trying to stay friends with our “metropole” or you would demand that we get away from it and creep into Europe. Because we can’t understand how you can wave portrait of Shukhevych, but don’t put Efremov in prison. As a result of that Ukrainian nationalism can turn into something it’s supposed to be instead of being a scary story for “grandmothers” who are kissing shoes of Vilkul. It should turn into group of people who have ideals and can stand for them with real actions. Or we will put flowers on the grave of last Ukrainian bourgeois nationalists. Who will turn out to be not quite bourgeois and not quite Ukrainian.

But if you look at our politician who spent time in prison, like Lutsenko and Timoshenko, you start to realize that prison doesn’t help to every politician to define the priorities. Sure not every politician can become Nelson Mandella.
