Good day, dear readers! I do hope you’re feeling good now!

Maybe say you heard about hard talks on political repressions in Ukraine. Or you have no idea about what I say!? However, the former Ukrainian prime-Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and dozen of members of her goverment were jailed for a long term. Have you ever really aware why such problems disturbs societies and countries or, in the contrary, why people are passive in manifestation of compassion.

Of course, the main problem is inside hearts and minds of ukrainian sitizens. Here in Ukraine we have two main ukrainian groups which have differences in perception of Ukraine as a homeland. This differences are not ethnical but historical. And they often become a product of fraudulent officials work.

For example, western ukrainians are receptive to Stepan Bandera as hero of ukrainian liberation movement in 1940-50-ies. But eastern ukrainians was educated entirely to bad perception of such person. Also eastern ukrainians like russian language when western citizens prefer ukrainian. To get a higher support in west Ukraine president Yushenko gave the hero titul for Stepan Bandera in 2009 and president Yanukovych and his party for good result on parliamentary elections approved the law in which russian has a status of regional language. They spit on the Constitution and the laws. The most of their subordinates do the same. They take away all what they want. Thus, Ukraine are broke. Ukrainian society are in trouble.

This trouble is increasing. Political and finicial groups became more brazen in their acts. We have “dog racing” in politics, in finances etc. And the top of violations is imprisonment of political opponents of Ukrainian president Yanukovych and his goverment. Now Ukraine still have a chance to turn back to civilized human being. Civilized human being is the main reason for ukrainian society to free Yulia Tymoshenko.

In the same time, to start changes to better Ukraine Yanukovych must free Yulia Tymoshenko and other political prisoners.  Yulia Tymoshenko’s release is more advantageous for Yanukovych and other ukrainian politicians than they can imagine. Otherwise, they will be judged by one another in their “democratic” judiciary system or be judged (or even killed) by crouds. This is the main reason for ukrainian authorities and their supporters to free Yulia Tymoshenko.  Time is out…
