So, the geniuses sent to Kharkiv to start a mess there knew the city so well that they first attacked the opera house, thinking it was the mayor’s building. When the stumbled upon the auditorium – oops! Not gonna find a mayor here, dudes.
The geniuses sent to Donetsk (who did manage to find the office they were looking for) took over the regional administration building Sunday night, and on Monday morning hastily held a “vote” declaring the establishment of the People’s Republic of Donetsk, and immediately asked for Russia to protect them. Obviously, this was not a spontaneous “uprising”, they not only had supplies ready (truck loads of tires were delivered, for example, to build barricades), they also had thought enough ahead they even had a special banner made for their new “republic”.
Monday was tense, I’ll admit that. The government didn’t appear to be moving quickly or effectively, but I think we’ve all lost perspective with such constant access to information (correct and incorrect).
In any case, by Tuesday morning, the Kharkiv dipsh*ts had been cleared out of the government building and were under arrest. The self-proclaimed Republic of Donetsk unproclaimed itself, due to lack of support from anyone else in Donetsk. Dipsh*ts didn’t bring enough people with them!

Separatists canceled their decision to establish the Republic of Donetsk – Liga.Net – April 8, 2014, 11:55 Kyiv time
Donetsk citizens outraged by the fact that “hundred crazy people” took decision on behalf of more then one million city of Donetsk and four million Donetsk Region.
Separatists have canceled the decision to establish the Republic of Donetsk. This news was reported by Alexei Matsuka, page editor of News of Donbass in his Facebook account. People of Donetsk responded to the proclamation of the republic Donetsk with indignation. “In such megacity as Donetsk hundred abnormal people proclaimed Donetsk as republic. This is sort of joke ” – people of Donetsk write in social networks.
As a reminder. Separatists held talks with Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema this night under mediation of oligarch Rinat Akhmetov. Extremists promised the government to surrender their weapons. However, this the morning separatists declared that they wait for the assault from riot police and they are not going to disperse. They urge women to stay near the Donetsk Regional State Administration and become a human shield.
It’s not over, by any means. Separatists still have buildings in Donetsk and Luhansk, and tried to take buildings in Mykolayiv last night.
Meanwhile, in Russia, just looking like you might be thinking about protesting is enough to get you arrested.
