According to ITAR-TASS, Pavel Gubaryov, People’s Governor of Donetsk Oblast, recently released from prison in Kiev, told Rossiya-24 TV, “The referendum is everything for us, it’s our declaration of independence, it’s the formation of a new entity… the Donetsk People’s Republic. However, this new entity is only the first step to our forming a bigger entity, Novorossiya, in all the former southeastern Ukraine”. Novorossiya is a historical term referring to territory conquered by the Russian Empire in the 1700s, which became part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, part of the USSR, in 1922. Gubaryov took part in Sunday’s voting and noted the high turnout, “There have never been such high turnouts at any previous polling. They exerted physical and moral pressure on me in prison. I don’t seek a martyr’s halo; I’m a soldier, after all. I look upon what happened there as a part of my fight. People fought here, I fought there. I had no contacts with investigators, I gave no evidence, and this was the core of the conflict. They put a red mark on my dossier… ‘prone to escape’… I slept on a plank bed with no mattress”. The junta released Gubaryov from prison on 7 May. The Donbass People’s Opolchenie swapped him for three detained SBU officers. A rally in the city’s central square proclaimed Gubaryov People’s Governor of Donetsk on 1 March. Shortly after, the SBU opened a criminal case against him and arrested him on 6 March.
Editor:
The unravelling of the fictive “Ukrainian” state continues… the way it’s going, the only existence that the “Ukraine” will have is in diaspora communities in the USA and Canada. Unfortunately, it’ll lead to such groups becoming MORE strident and hateful than they are now (yes, it IS possible). Cross yourself and AVOID such people… fighting with them serves no good end and all that it’ll do is to piss you off to no good result. Know how to choose your fights… and don’t fight with such sorts…

The VOV vets are rapidly passing… there’s not many of them left. This is what honour looks like… this is what courage looks like… this is what character looks like. You could miss it on the street… its modest… its unassuming. Courage doesn’t wear a three-piece suit… honour doesn’t drive a Beamer… character doesn’t belong to the country club. You can have character or you can have a fat bank account. The choice is yours…
