Very interesting news today introduced the Russian opposition, but sometimes well informed “Novaya Gazeta”. According to the letter last resignations Kremlin officials responsible for the “project Novorossiya” are part of the overall change in the vector of Russian policy towards the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

The Kremlin reportedly ruled that certainly does not want to incorporate the Donetsk and Luhansk. Do not want to also preserve their formally independent existence. He wanted to all forces “wdusić” the area back in the Ukraine – of course, on the principle of autonomy.
“Wołodyńska spring” New Russia ends “surkowowską autumn” – poetically puts it, a journalist of the “New” Paul Kanygin. It is about Vyacheslav Volodin, first deputy head of presidential administration, and Vladislav Surkov – a close collaborator of many years of Putin’s adviser considered demonic gray eminence of the Kremlin. According to the “New” both men are in conflict; one of the fields to be a dilemma whether to proceed with the West sharper or more diplomatically. Policy towards the Donbass is related to this issue. Volodin wants sharper, and was involved in supporting “Novorossiya project.” Surkov and fears of the effects of sanctions and would like to get along with the West.
As a result of the conflict were to be taking place a few days ago the Kremlin resignations of senior officials, shaping and implementing policies towards Ukraine. Chief among them was Boris Rapoport – until recently responsible for this sector department deputy head of the Kremlin cooperation with countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Rapaport according to the “New” much closer to the separatist leaders and began to be considered as overly associated with their case. He had to go and was amended by Igor Udowiczenko – a man Surkov. The position is also lost when Vladimir Awdijenko, coordinating on behalf of the Kremlin’s economic issues associated with “folk republics” Doiniecka and Luhansk.
All this is to be a sign that – according to the “New” – “New Russia on independent forget.” The fact that this is the decision, or at least – the prevailing mood in the Kremlin, the newspaper had independently confirm the “three sources – the Kremlin, in government and in the Donbas.”
The author of the “New” is connected with this series of formal and informal leaders resign donbaskiej popular rebellion. Describes these as cleansing. I claim that they are the result of the Kremlin, shedding too independent partners. According to the newspaper at the moment only the famous Igor Strelkov trying to act like a sovereign leader – indeed Surkov criticized as a “betrayal of New Russia” and giving interviews on the future of the Donbass. Thus becomes an increasingly embarrassing for the government Russia. “The administration of President commented that Igor Ivanovich vain attracts attention, because the past does not come back,” – writes the “New”.
Reports “Novaya Gazeta” seem plausible. It has been seen that the events in the east of Ukraine did not develop as planned Kremlin. It was to be a popular uprising of the Kharkiv Odessa, and finally managed to break away from the Ukraine just plunged into economic crisis, the eastern part of the Donbass. Setting the dot over the “i” – that is, or incarnation of these areas to Russia, or to continue the fiction of their independence – means for Moscow to take him on his neck huge financial burden (and in a situation in which Western sanctions are beginning to bear increasingly severe effects), and a further escalation of the conflict with the West. Without bringing the desired political effect – because the remaining de facto outside the state organism Donetsk and Lugansk Ukraine are not able to play allocated to them by the Kremlin role destabilizatota and irritant.
In this situation, a change is likely vectors. Kiev, realistic drawing conclusions from the fact that it is not able to restore his authority over the rebellious provinces, where the majority of the population, moreover rather not desire, has recently taken a number of actions, actually informally for separating these areas from the rest of the state. It’s like giving up their informal (informally, because officially, of course, can not do it, if only because it could mean a new Maidan). Deepening economic decline, of course, ruined by war eastern Donbas. Used while integrating the vast majority of the state, not covered by a pro-Russian rebellion.
This situation is exacerbated problems of Putin’s course. Threatens to leave him with a very troublesome Cuckoo’s egg.
It is therefore possible that soon narrative and Russia, and are conducive to its forces in the West will change radically. Ukraine will no longer be accused of “aggression against the population east of the country.” Somehow the opposite – Kiev will begin to be exerted strong pressure to withdraw his action, aimed in fact to get rid of the composition of the eastern state of Donbass. To return for a cessation of hostilities (probably also for Western economic aid … ) took over responsibility for the situation prevailing there. I also accepted the presence of the state in his body bomb, which the Kremlin – when he finds that he is worth – will be able to explode again.
It is in this respect a look at Putin’s unexpected meeting with French President Hollande. I wonder whether used by the latter returns the need to maintain “territorial integrity of Ukraine” and to respect “the principle of inviolability of borders” are indeed, as yet, an expression of support for Kiev.
