I realized that TV is a huge force can give a huge jolt to the unification of people, and I think that even the Internet and visibility on the Internet (Google and Facebook search engines) are not always on the side of a simple citizen.
Of course Facebook is a powerful weapon in uniting people, but here I think you can control people, too.
You can’t win a revolution if the TV is not encourages, focuses, keeps solidarity in tension and the excitement of the masses.
Of course the TV channels showed protests, but as protests of a different opinion, and that’s all.
Even if today no TV channel won’t show protesters in many cities of Ukraine on the Maidans, you won’t learn about them, and you won’t see them.
Facebook does prove that the protests for the impeachment of the President were in many cities of Ukraine.
Saakashvili as oppositioner continues fighting but abroad.
We can state the fact that Poroshenko will not be elected by people for a second term of presidency.

It seems to me that Ukraine needs Western experience in rehabilitation of military servicemen after the war.
There are increased cases of suicides and aggression among the former participants of military actions.

The problem is that the slogan of the anti-Yanukovych revolution was to “end the oligarchy”.
Unfortunately, the majority of citizens do not live richly, and proletarian mind also rebes against successful rich people.
The concept of “private property” and the rights of elites to increase their wealth and high status do not fit in the minds of many Ukrainians, as they live quite modestly.
Here raises the problem from which revolutions will never end, do the people protest against individuals or against the system?
People protest against the “world of oligarchy”, that is, the desire of people to stop the existence/rule of very rich people, and create a world of the middle class.
It seems that for a country like Ukraine, this idea is utopian and the end of the struggle is not visible, because a world ruled by big capital is not a local but a global world.

Sakashvili is modest in the aspirations and says that doesn’t intend to become the President.
Surely someone from his entourage is a candidate, but not yet promoted presidential candidate.
I think that Saakashvili will return his Ukrainian citizenship and will be seeking presidency later, possibly, Yulia Tymoshenko will want to fight for power, but in my opinion If Tymoshenko becomes the President, the revolutions in Ukraine there will be no end.
 
In Russia, for example, the opposition is artificial.
The opposition in Russia - Ksenia Sobchak, this is plan B, for the ruling government now.
I would not like to see Ukraine would have been the same alternation of the constant rulership of oligarhy.

You don’t worry about having a criminal as President - or you don’t believe that Saakashvili is a crook ?
 
As far as I know Ukraine buys weapons and does not accept weapons as a gift.
Ukrainian army is not fighting someone else’s hands.
I think that Saakashvili and his Georgian team are proven/ tested/examined people for the United States.
I don’t know about the American taxpayers and do not know whether they benefit from mega corporations gaining markets in other continents.
Ordinary citizens can not know who, for what purpose, and by what means is pushing a new presidential candidate.
Even in the United States, there were more levers than the citizens ’ opinion in election campaigns.

In August 2017, the Georgian General Prosecutor’s Office said that Saakashvili was facing 11 years in prison for his crimes in Georgia.
In December 2017, Saakashvili was accused in Ukraine of taking money from a criminal group. Also he entered Ukraine illegally from Poland in September 2017.
 
He could probably win lawsuits in Georgia.
He ran a very criminal region in Ukraine.
There are all sorts of mafia there , including narco mafia. Odessa in general very hot city, and a tasty slice, a dream for any official of the bribe taker.
Saakashvili could become super rich if he would make the deals and agreements with the shadow mafias there, but Sakashvili is a man with principles. His Iberian perseverance, courage, and the support of the people could not even be stopped at customs.
He realized that his reputation allows him to go much higher.

But Saakashvili and the candidate of the militarist party are not a pacifists against Russian aggression.
Militaristic Ukraine will increase its strength.
 
I think that Russia(and not only Russia) benefits from gray areas on the map of Europe.
The occupied territories, particularly the Donbas, Crimea, Transnistria, Abkhazia is the so-called “gray zones”, spaces of any economic system that actively uses Russia.
The occupied territories necessary for carrying out not really legal or smuggled goods. For example, the economy of Transnistria is not controlled, therefore the special economic zone or “grey area” it is easy to use to implement their intentions.
It’s just “grey economic zone”, through which emitted the enormous resources of Ukraine, Moldova, Europe. The same thing is happening in the occupied Donbas, where they sell Russian and Ukrainian budget.
Yes, in Moldova they believe that Transnistria is a pump that helps the parasite on the country’s budget and continue to bankrupt him. The situation in Ukraine is similar.
Ukraine in 2008 – 2010 years has made some steps to stop it: introduced customs control. In fact, there was smuggling of cigarettes, and many other stuff.
So, the filthy elites need these grey areas.

Why did he oppose giving St. Isaac’s Cathedral back to the Russian Orthodox Church?
 
In General, in Russia one has to be very strong and very bold to deal with issues of Church property or Church elites.
Remember as a famous and charismatic priest Kuraev denounced priestly-cover the gay club, but don’t know if there was someone so brave there, who would dare to get into those clans with exposures.

I don’t see the point in opposing giving St. Isaac’s Cathedral back to the Russian Orthodox Church but letting it remain in the hands of the state.
