Errors of crisis management by Yanukovych
1. Sharp ideological reversals;
2. Bet on the power resource in terms of its deficit;
3. Several centers of decision-making;
4. Change unmotivated use and non-use of force;

6. Use of paramilitary units, which is difficult to control;
7. Negotiations with those who have no influence on the radicals and unable to stop the violence.
These errors arte the same with the new government.

Ukraine Presidential election campaign 2014
Consensus of oligarchic groups around the figure Poroshenko (not Tymoshenko, not radical, capable of compromise);
West supported Poroshenko as both understandable and non-radical politician;
Russia distanced itself (elections are illegitimate, but "let it be so" - Vladimir Putin);
Cleaning information space of Ukraine from disloyal journalists and media;
Power pressure upon candidates from the South-East;
Military operation in the Donbas region.

Alternative southeasts fighting
Akhmetov's expansion under Yanukovych (Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk regions);
Expansion of Kolomoyskiy under new authorities (Dnepopetrovskaya, Zaporizhia, Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Odessa regions, some areas of Donbass).
![Page 41: Ukrainian revolution from the point of view of the Russian analyst](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032717/55b6506abb61eb77228b4635/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Results of the campaign
Controversial turnout (declared more than 60% of voters after the loss of the Crimea, no voice at all in Donbass and passive South East);
One half of the country chose their politicians (the first four places–Poroshenko, Tymoshenko, Lyashko, Gritsenko);
This result will push Poroshenko to radical policy, including the power scenario in the South East.
![Page 42: Ukrainian revolution from the point of view of the Russian analyst](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032717/55b6506abb61eb77228b4635/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
P. Poroshenko as a politician
Heir of the Soviet era business-community so-called “Tsehoviki”;
Was near the state power structures under the rule of all presidents, starting with Kuchma;
One of the founders of the Party of Regions;
Has no sustained political beliefs, if not considered "pro-western agenda";
Close relative of ex-president Yushchenko;
Hero of corruption scandals;
Lacks his own team.
![Page 43: Ukrainian revolution from the point of view of the Russian analyst](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032717/55b6506abb61eb77228b4635/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Petr Poroshenko. Prognosis
Balance of power exists between the five main groups:
1. Exporters (mainly South-East)
2. Military-Industrial complex and engineering (South-East)
3. Operators of gas schemes
4. Importers (mainly Center and West), including illegal imports
5. Financiers (political game on exchange rates)
The new Ukraine moves towards destroying the first three groups. This is impossible without blood and confrontation. That is why Poroshenko has low chances to keep the situation.
![Page 44: Ukrainian revolution from the point of view of the Russian analyst](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032717/55b6506abb61eb77228b4635/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Main threats to the oligarchic model
The old model of oligarchic domination headed by President Poroshenko is threatened:
1. Lack of cheap Russian gas (main resource for industry)
2. Large-scale unemployment due to lower employment in the military-industrial complex, metallurgy, gas chemistry, coal industry
3. The need for unpopular reforms (reduction of social spending, the rising cost of utility services for the population)
4. Increased costs of security
As a result - reduction of resources that can be distributed.
Temporary solution - expropriation of assets and property of "unpatriotic oligarchs”.
Result - a centralized military dictatorship, supported by the military help of the West, or disintegration of the country into several actually independent feudal principalities.

Interest of Russian Federation
End the bloodshed;
Regular payments for gas supply;
Cooperation in the sphere of military-industrial complex;
Neutral status of Ukraine;
Rights of russian-speaking population (federalization and the formal sate status of the Russian language).
