Putin's option is either to become China's satellite or Muslim's younger partner
6/1/2014 5:10:47 PM
Historian and professor Andrei Zubov at the Moscow university of international relations, says,
the annexation of Crimea was the return to the Soviet diplomacy.
Unlike Yeltsin and Gorbachov, Putin has a Soviet mindset. Accordingly, he can instruct foreign peoples how to live and which unions to join.
Putin's referendum in Crimea was an utter falsification. As Zubov wrote his Ph.D. and doctoral dissertations on elections, he says the results of the Crimean one were invented by its organizers.
The turnout cannot be larger than 75-78% and 90% of voters cannot support a single issue whereas in the Crimean "referendum" 95.5% of voters supported Crimean independence from Ukraine.
No wonder the Ukrainians realized that their Russian neighbor, whom they treated well in general, stole one of the rooms in their apartment when they were weakened.
There were mistakes in Russia's and Ukraine's policies, with the largest one lying on the fact that both countries failed to carry out de-Sovietization and de-Communization.
The Soviet mentality, still existent in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, had a huge effect on how the situation developed there.
Putin is trying to replace the Soviet ideology with the nationalist one.
The way Russia is acting now, especially in the wake of Crimea, will be cold-shouldered by all countries.
Putin's prospect is either to become China's satellite or a junior partner of the Muslim south.
Earlier, Prof. Andrei Zubov condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea.
