The information field of the Russian world is created!

On November 17, the round table of the political club “Alternative” has passed in Kiev. 27 participants have gathered on that action – the journalists, editors, politicians defending the idea of the Russian world in Ukraine and who set the prompt integration of Ukraine and Russia as the purpose.

The purpose of the round table was the development of the general strategy of club and its participants’ actions. The majority of the speakers have noticed all complexity of a situation which has developed now in Ukraine, uneasy position of those who supports the Russian idea in the conditions of total control of information field by pro-Western, pro-nationalist forces and also the accruing threat of coming to power of nationalists. The founder of club Rostislav Ishchenko, the president of the Center of the system analysis and forecasting has acted the first:

- We were going to discuss today the creation strategy of synergetic effect at association of all resources of participants of our club and also to create the future frameworks of our work. In my opinion, the greatest problem is that we don't have sufficient representation in information field now. I repeatedly faced such argument which was put forward by our opponents: “all that you state to us, namely the Russian language, the union, the friendship with Russia, so it is necessary to nobody. Have you seen the performances of people, demonstrations somewhere?” No, didn't see, but all of them are present from the outside of “svidomists”. But there are present not only because they were well organized and financed in due time, but they present consequently for last 20 years the idea has been hammered into the head of most part of population at the expense of actual occupation of information field that the Ukrainians are the Europeans and it is fashionable, profitable, beautiful, perspective to be the European. Other opinions and forces have been never heard by anybody.

One of my colleagues spoke that if you sum all Russian, pro-Russian sites and mass-media in Ukraine, so you find out that one site “Ukrainian truth” gives more calling for a day, than they for a month. Unfortunately, it is very close to the truth. It is obvious that until we don't reformat the information field this situation will remain. If we make a start that we don't have serious material resources and we don't have serious political support, the only thing that we can make is to unite the efforts. I trace my works and the works of my colleagues in the Internet and know that the quantity of calling on them constantly grows. It means, the urgency of our ideas grows.

We perfectly know that by the end of 2010 the idea of “the Ukrainian Ukraine” has been actually discredited by all authorities which were in Ukraine before. After the coming to power the president Yanukovich has started to “sew” Ukraine and thus became the adherent of “the Ukrainian Ukraine” too. The failures of this power discredited namely the Ukrainian, instead of the Russian idea as the power positions itself so. Accordingly, the demand for alternative idea and the development way exist and grow.

First of all, we should influence the power by the creation of intensive information field which will show that the considerable part of voters defends other concept of behavior of the Ukrainian authorities. It is that we can really make to following elections. It is that can involve the political forces which will be compelled to accept this concept and to declare that they defend it and, thus, to carry out it at political level.

The major moment which is necessary to consider is that it is not necessary to be a large analyst or politician to understand that the Ukrainian power has so strongly sagged and that can fail at any moment. If not this year, but in the following. It is really possible to recognize that the power discredited itself, there is no serious opposition and the population is ready to social explosion. This is the event which can't be predicted precisely because the social explosion occurs spontaneously and casually, but what we have today in political arena of Ukraine?

Today we have, actually, only well organized nationalist, and I even would say the fascist forces which are really capable to intercept the falling power. May be not in all country, but they can place the real order for control over a significant amount of regions. There are no hopes of a counterbalance in the existing political range from communists to regionals – I’m absolutely assured that when fascists will come to the power, the others come to agree to them that didn't touch business or that have started up in parliament.

There is a hope of rather wide social movement and separate political forces which are presented in the Southeast regions to a greater or lesser extent. In particular, “Native land” in Odessa can act as organizing force and there are smaller organizations in Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Lugansk. But the problem consists that all of them aren't organized – they aren't organized even in one network, not that in one hierarchical structure. It is possible to strangle all of them one by one and to leave the most serious to the end. Therefore, our problem, understanding these threats, is to oppose something to them. One of the main measures is an accruing information pressure upon the power. For this purpose it is necessary to collect all possible forces and to act in “network” way through all accessible mass-media supervised by us”.

Igor Mikhaylovich Druz, the chairman of the Kiev public organization “National Cathedral” has suggested not to argue on ideology as there is set, frequently inconsistent projects within the limits of the Russian world and any general rigid platform will lead to split. He has supported the creation of several subgroups which will defend the ideas in the general format: “The main thing for us is the practical steps. Here all, first of all, are for association with Russia, secondly, against Bandera. It is quite enough these two points to start to work effectively. Now the most essential problem is that the street is given to the Banderovites by the power bodies. I spent the conference against Bandera in the house of trade unions. They promised to blow me up, promised to blow up the house of trade unions. The Banderovites openly attacked us during carrying out of several actions. It was possible to us to “subdue” them and to give to police. But they always were let out in some hours. I assume that the agents of national security have given the go-ahead to these “Banderlogs”, therefore they don't interfere. I spoke with the deputies of Party of Regions about it. They speak that the police won't interfere, these are your internal affairs. I have answered them that soon your party office will be crushed on this wave. They have let out from a bottle of radical “gin” which is not simply to take back”.

Evgeny Rezontov, the publicist of club “Essence of Time” has noticed that the club “Alternative” is similar to very successful project “Essence of Time” according to the form which was created by political scientist Kurginyan: “In the beginning of this year the club “Essence of Time” has been created. It is the network structure, public movement. And it has the huge weight in the Russian political life and that we can repeat in Ukraine. I suggest to mark out the club lines of activity according to the form as it is made in “Essence of Time”. The direction “Territorial integrity” is necessary - this question is especially acute in Ukraine in connection with the statements of Galicia branch. One more obligatory direction is “Alternative model of development” – the working out of the attractive project which we will present to a society. A direction “Historical advantage” is for a dethronement of Bandera’s myths. And one more direction “Statistics” is gathering of statistical data on moods and condition in a society. The problem is that the existing liberal model of development suffers the crash worldwide. What are two exits from this crash? One of them is downwards, in neo-feudalism, to Bandera, in far right movements in Europe, namely neo-fascism. And the second is the movement upwards, on higher formation. We can name it as “socialism 2.0”. The capitalism affirmed in Europe not at one moment. We will remember that now the fifth republic under the account is in France. Five times the capitalism tried to affirm in the same France. We had one attempt. Therefore it is unreasonable to reject the Soviet project at once. Why do we can't to comprehend all errors and create the second project much better, than the first? But it will be forward progress, development. Therefore we should be defined – whether we go upwards, to progressive socialist ideology or downwards, to neo-fascism. It all seems the necessary purposes of club “Alternative” to me.

Mikhail Karnovsky, the editor of the Ukrainian branch of the Internet portal “The world and we” has noticed the special importance of association of all Internet resources of participants of club “Alternative” in united network structure and also has stated the offers of the Internet portal “The world and we” in direction of cooperation: “As our portal is focused on all CIS countries, we offer the maintenance of interaction with all interested experts in the CIS countries and other countries of the world from our site. In our opinion, the extremely important thing is the wide circulation of experience of club ‘Alternative” in the basic directions of its activity – the struggle against neo-Nazism and integration of “The Russian world”. The organizational form of club as the network community directed on the decision of these problems, this groundwork which we will create in common, can become a fine example for the organization of the same communities in other countries.
The Internet portal “The world and we” also suggests the number of offers in sphere of information and technical maintenance. All sites-participants of the club represent considerably enough information resource in aggregate. Daily there are tens materials in our sites, they are visited by thousand people. Therefore the major problem is the association of our resources in the united information field, the information network. For this purpose we suggest to place on each site-participant the information block “The news of club “Alternative” in which the references to new articles to all other sites-participants of our network will be operatively displayed.

First of all, it will allow to unite our sites in the united network resource. The visitor of each of sites can see a wide range of materials within the limits of our concept and to estimate the scale of the project. Secondly, it will lead to traffic animation when the visitor who has come on one of sites, visit all the others with high probability. Thirdly, such approach will allow to create the general information picture of materials of our club, the original information centre, which becomes united, synergetic information resource in itself.
Also we suggest to discuss the possibility of use of various kinds of advertizing networks for the massed advancement of our ideas in the Internet. All together we already possess the considerable information and analytical resource. And now we have not less important task as to provide the informing of simple citizens, to propagandize our ideas understandably and clearly. Unfortunately, it is all in what our opponents have succeeded, using the advanced information technology. The teaser, banner and contextual advertizing can solve that problem in the Internet space which takes place on thousand sites in the Internet. Therefore, we suggest to make joint efforts for working out of drawing the attention, memorable slogans and visual number for their placing in advertizing networks.

We assume that the specified actions will allow to solve the problem of the creation of synergetic effect in many respects about which it was told in the beginning of discussion and to draw attention to the ideas of integration of Ukraine in the Russian world of the considerable audience of the Ukrainian citizens using the Internet”. The offers of our Internet portal have caused the big interest as the result of which the working group has been generated within the limits of club “Alternative” which will be engaged in the decision of the offered problems.

All-round discussion of problems and problems of functioning of club “Alternative” has proceeded during the further work of the round table. Sergey Moiseev, the chairman of public organization “Triune Russia” (Kharkov) has told about the experience of the organization of mass actions in support of idea of the Russian world in which there was the interaction of more than 30 various regional organizations and about the counteraction of active workers of All-Ukrainian Union “Freedom” and “Patriots of Ukraine” to radical tricks. Alexey Selivanov, the ataman of “The True Cossacks”, the secretary of committee on the Cossacks at the Cabinet of Ministers has noticed that the patriotic movements in Ukraine didn't manage to create a picture of social development till now which would become attractive to considerable number of citizens of Ukraine and has expressed the hope that club “Alternative” will help to solve this problem. The work of the round table passed within almost 4 hours in which there was a discussion of all aspects of club activity, several working groups have been generated and the further lines of activity were planned.


The understanding became the general for all participants that the politics of the modern Ukrainian power has resulted the country on a side of the social explosion, the performances of Chernobyl citizens and the Afghans and also the mass protest actions planned for December became the first signs.

It testifies the scale weakening of the political power in Ukraine, about its full discrepancy to requirements of overwhelming majority of the Ukrainian citizens. In these conditions the well organized nationalist, neo-fascist forces which were originally used as “ideological maintenance” of the Ukrainian statehood have received the real possibility to intercept the Ukrainian power completely discrediting itself.

In these conditions all supporters of integration of Ukraine in the Russian world see the problem in scale and intensive influence on the Ukrainian power and a society by means of association of all information resources accessible to us to show all threats of a current situation. The main goal is to affect the actions of the Ukrainian authorities, to form the understanding in a society that the unique way of rescue of the country from nationalist threat and chaos of social disorders is the prompt integration into the Russian world, into the structures of the Customs Union and the formed Eurasian Union. It is not less important to prove full hopelessness the integration processes within the limits of EU for Ukraine, the financially-political model of which suffers the full crash now.
In the condition of sharp economic and political crisis in Ukraine, the situation of nonparticipation in the capable economic, geopolitical block and the preventing of integration with Russia will inevitably lead to accident, coming of radical forces and social chaos to power.

The functioning of club “Alternative” urged to play an important role in prevention of such events and offers an alternative variant of development to the society, namely the integration of Ukraine into the Russian world.
