EUROPARLIAMENT AS A SCHOOL OF COMMUNISM

Subscribe
MOSCOW, December 2 (RIA Novosti, political commentator Pyotr Romanov) - In its urge to instruct the citizens of the former USSR, Europarliament is tireless just as KPSS and Soviet trade unions were in their time. The only difference is that trade unions, according to Lenin's definition, were "a school of Communism," and Europarliament dreams of becoming "a school of democracy." The plan is evidently good; the only trouble with it is that "Eurodemocrats" act on this important and necessary direction with Bolsheviks' straightforwardness and obtrusiveness.

This completely changes the matter. If this continues further, the students will find difficulty understanding difference between "the school of democracy" and "the school of Communism." The last example is Europarliament's resolution on Ukraine, where Ukrainian authorities actually are told to annul the results of the second round of presidential elections and conduct a "third round" (a democratic novelty) before this year's end. Curiously, the resolution was adopted before the Supreme Court of Ukraine voiced its verdict on violations at the recent presidential elections and after the conflicting political forces reached an agreement in Kiev to create a group of experts to find a tradeoff and lawful way out of the deadlock. In contrast, Europarliament suggests a revolutionary, unlawful and uncompromising variant. In other words, a rather Bolshevist one.

The same resolution contains a call on the European Union to impose sanctions against Ukraine in case the Ukrainian authorities use force against a "peaceful democratic process." It is bad to use force against peaceful rally participants, but what should be done if the situation in Kiev stops being peaceful and starts resembling something in-between a Jewish pogrom and actions of anti-globalists? The orange opposition, through the lips of one of its leaders Yulia Timoshenko, said that compromise decisions reached with participation of international mediators were not adopted by "the street" and thus won't be implemented. Another leader of the orange, Viktor Yushchenko, warned that in certain conditions ("should the power start weaseling"), he was not going to "hold in its supporters." Taking into account that the issue of whether the power is weaseling or not will be decided by the "street" and not Ukrainian parliament, Supreme Court or international observers, it's easy to foretell the conclusions of the agitated crowd.

Meanwhile, according to Europarliament's logic, if the situation in Kiev is resolved, with violations of basic law and order, by the street, and the power dares counter it, such a power should be imposed to sanctions of the EU. Is this democracy lesson good?

Finally, Europarliament calls on official Kiev to ensure equal chances for both candidates at future elections, which in the conditions of a total diktat of "the street" in the Ukrainian capital and western regions seems pure demagogy repeatedly used by Bolsheviks.

In other words, either Europarliament revises its "methodical aids" or it should change its name.
