[music] of the00:00:17
Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics are00:00:19
such quasi-state formations00:00:22
that appeared in the east of Ukraine as if00:00:25
in response to the revolution in Kiev,00:00:27
by the way, how a peaceful protest of a student00:00:29
turned into a change of power in Ukraine, I00:00:32
recently told in a separate video,00:00:34
be sure to watch both people's00:00:37
republics that used to be simply00:00:39
parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions00:00:43
declared their independence in00:00:45
April 2014, the00:00:47
Donetsk People's Republic and approval based on the00:00:54
results of referendums in May, when Yanukovych00:00:57
had already been expelled from Kiev, the independence of the00:00:59
republic came under the slogan Ukraine00:01:02
is Russia and out of fear of allegedly00:01:04
impending repressions against the00:01:06
Russian-speaking population six years later00:01:09
Half of the years after the formation of the00:01:11
DPR and LPR they remain unrecognized00:01:14
states of00:01:15
Ukraine; it considers their territories to be its own;00:01:17
however, an attempt to return control over00:01:20
them by Ukrainian troops has00:01:22
led nowhere. In recent years, the Komi00:01:24
Republics are in a state of00:01:25
low-intensity conflict with00:01:27
government forces of Ukraine; they00:01:29
are trying to integrate with Russia.00:01:31
wash their elections and pretend that00:01:33
they are full-fledged independent00:01:36
states, I agreed to film in the00:01:38
DPR to understand how the00:01:42
unrecognized republics live now and what it is00:01:44
like for people in semi-legal00:01:46
territories where00:01:48
international law and an international00:01:50
payment system do not apply,00:01:57
we do not have electronic payment systems at00:01:59
all that is,00:02:01
Kiev webmoney is blocked, there’s nothing like that, I00:02:04
can’t withdraw money from the card, I can’t00:02:06
put money on the card, the only thing00:02:08
that works is the Central00:02:11
Republican Bank, it’s the central republican bank, they have their own00:02:13
electronic cards,00:02:14
but the fact is that since we00:02:16
live in an unrecognized republic yes, they are not00:02:18
recognized by the world, that is, they give me a card, but00:02:20
it’s kind of like a mastercard, but I can’t00:02:22
interact with the world in any way at all,00:02:23
that is, in order to pay for00:02:25
something on the Internet or withdraw money, I00:02:28
need00:02:29
to find a person with a card, give him cash to00:02:32
pay interest he will pay then give it00:02:35
to me somehow he will receive it and also with the withdrawal from00:02:37
the transfer of money I need this someone00:02:39
who can give me the money from my own00:02:42
card after interest at 8 1200:02:45
percent and then only you can00:02:46
withdraw it from attacks in some official plan00:02:49
to deposit or withdraw money from the republic00:02:51
is impossible not to be delighted with it there was nothing00:02:53
like that before there were different banks, but if00:02:55
in Ukraine we had a private00:02:57
alpha bank, that is, it was possible to00:02:59
take out some loans there, apply for loans there,00:03:01
but now we have one00:03:03
state bank but I think we will00:03:04
still be prize 1 and Nina sooner or later00:03:07
more beautiful we will also develop00:03:09
this banking system we hope00:03:11
mobile operators it is 11 this is a phoenix00:03:15
you have three tariffs there which you00:03:16
can choose the country code of Ukraine but in00:03:19
this area by the way I don’t I can call00:03:20
Ukraine, it’s very expensive, it00:03:23
basically works there in some part of the city, that is,00:03:25
you need to find a point00:03:26
where they will catch the phoenix and you00:03:27
can call in Odessa, gives it to a friend,00:03:30
this is some kind of garbage from Russia, they have the00:03:33
same problems In fact, there are00:03:36
enough of us in the republic, but these00:03:39
problems, at least, have always been there; they did00:03:41
not appear after 2014; problems with00:03:44
public transport, roads, and00:03:46
water supply; we have a lot of cities00:03:48
without water for months simply00:03:52
because, well, people are simply faced with00:03:55
that problem the fact that we have00:03:57
rotten pipes, rotten water supply, all the00:04:00
transport that was for us as a00:04:03
means of transportation, a huge airport, a00:04:06
huge new railway station, from where it was a00:04:09
big, simply unrealistically large00:04:11
fork to all countries, you had access00:04:13
to anywhere in the world, the main thing is that you00:04:16
have documents and some kind of finances00:04:18
are going on right now, that is, now you need to00:04:20
first overcome the path to the border00:04:23
which can take you00:04:26
twenty-four twenty-five hours to Kiev, if00:04:28
not more, through the Russian Federation, yes, that00:04:30
is, the journey before the journey00:04:31
is, of course, such a kind of Ukraine, it is00:04:35
very difficult for people to travel there00:04:39
have already been such situations with fear more than once,00:04:42
that when people go to Ukraine and they00:04:45
face pressure on them from the00:04:48
Ukrainian security services because they00:04:50
start asking unnecessary questions,00:04:52
they use some kind of repressive methods00:04:55
in relation to the families of people who00:04:58
live in Ukraine, they go to Ukraine and their00:05:00
relatives either serve there in the people's00:05:03
militia on their necks or serve in the civil service00:05:06
if you look at the Russian border00:05:10
people cross it to Russia people go00:05:13
or travel there either for work00:05:16
or for clothes for food because after00:05:19
all in Russia in some ways it is00:05:22
much cheaper and it’s easier to buy00:05:27
some services there, contract people en masse,00:05:30
we have passports here, get them through00:05:32
Russia and, in general, there are00:05:38
no major problems with traveling to the Russian Federation,00:05:39
if you take 14 years and now it’s better00:05:43
that the city no longer flies in at00:05:45
least At least locally and in the center you can’t00:05:48
hear constant bombings and00:05:50
nothing like that, probably the only plus00:05:51
that has changed in all these 600:05:53
years that the Donetsk People’s Republic has existed00:05:55
since there was no normal00:05:57
banking system, there isn’t, as there was a00:06:00
curfew and there are00:06:02
more minuses What are the advantages? This is a clear00:06:04
attempt by Ukraine to regain power in the00:06:07
Donbass back in 2014, which led to a00:06:09
full-scale war, and then in the fall,00:06:12
with the mediation of UBA from Russia, the00:06:14
so-called Minsk00:06:16
agreements were signed, which assumed that this would put an00:06:19
end to the fighting and the territorial00:06:21
conflict would begin to be resolved in more than six months00:06:24
years, nothing has changed, a00:06:26
compromise solution to the Donbass00:06:28
issue was expected from President Zelensky00:06:31
and returning peace to the Donbass was generally00:06:34
one of the main election slogans00:06:36
of Zelensky with which he went to the elections.00:06:38
After his election, the parties actually committed to00:06:42
ensuring a complete ceasefire,00:06:44
but no one began to implement these agreements in00:06:47
2014 on the territory of Ukraine00:06:50
there is a law on the special status00:06:51
of Donbass, which should give Donetsk and00:06:54
Luhansk the status of autonomous regions within00:06:56
Ukraine, however, the law will come into force only00:06:59
after both republics hold00:07:01
elections and, for the life of me, their results are recognized;00:07:04
this has not yet happened and00:07:07
action will take place in the near future the law00:07:08
is going to be extended for the third time,00:07:10
in addition to giving the Donbass a special00:07:13
status, the law will have to be included in the constitution and00:07:16
Ukrainian deputies have already started talking about the fact00:07:19
that this will require a referendum,00:07:21
so it’s definitely not worth waiting for a resolution of the Donbass00:07:24
issue in the near future,00:07:26
but00:07:27
for me it’s clear that the show is00:07:30
political in political terms, nothing will00:07:32
be resolved, the structure will not change, I00:07:34
now hope for some kind of resolution00:07:37
of the conflict, at least from the standpoint of borders,00:07:40
because once isolated and you can00:07:42
only travel to the Russian Federation,00:07:43
this is very difficult in terms of00:07:46
export-import sports and it makes it easy to see00:07:49
people friends who live on the territory of00:07:50
Ukraine what is generally expected for00:07:54
me personally china that I hope I00:07:56
would like to cancel the comment at least this way, of course the00:07:59
main problem right now is a very00:08:02
interesting question about the00:08:03
curfew, young people are00:08:06
very worried about this, they00:08:09
think that it’s just they take away your00:08:10
youth, definitely what happened before00:08:14
the war, yes, the DPR, these are open borders, this is00:08:17
citizenship, you were a citizen of your00:08:19
country, and again these were some kind of loan00:08:22
agreements and something else, you could00:08:24
formalize it all, it was all normal, everyone00:08:26
basically used it and00:08:27
this simplified life a little, at the00:08:30
moment there is nothing, all the colors of life00:08:32
that, for example, were in the plan to00:08:35
bring something, some kind of parcel or00:08:37
send something, there is nothing00:08:39
because, in principle, this territory is00:08:41
simply closed and in order for something00:08:43
either bring or take away you need to00:08:46
involve third-fifths of people in this,00:08:48
of course, yes, there is a huge discomfort; in general,00:08:50
it is impossible to say that something has worsened00:08:52
because it seems to me that it all00:08:53
just stands in one place, and it’s clear00:08:57
that before the war, all the close ones, all the friends, they00:09:00
were close and Now everyone is scattered00:09:03
Russia Ukraine Donetsk Well, somehow everything is so00:09:07
very far away, some are even in Europe Well,00:09:10
and I think that if there had been no war, the date00:09:12
of this would not even be boring. I am generally00:09:14
wildly dissatisfied with the situation, not only00:09:17
for the fact that going to Ukraine through Russia,00:09:19
I’m not happy with the fact that we have a00:09:21
border with the LPR, a00:09:22
fraternal republic, this is customs,00:09:24
I think that our leadership needs to00:09:27
somehow00:09:29
consider simplifying this00:09:31
crossing mechanism for citizens because we already have a00:09:34
small island left and there are a00:09:37
lot of questions about at the intersection, the devastation00:09:40
is felt, well, that is, there are landscapes00:09:42
when you are just riding on a bus,00:09:43
you turn your head to the right and you have the00:09:45
entire façade of the house made of it, to decide whether it’s just a00:09:47
roof, there are no windows, and it’s been standing like that for00:09:50
6 years and people don’t live there, or it’s00:09:52
very strongly felt when you drive through the00:09:54
city at night and leave the center,00:09:56
you go to some remote00:09:58
areas, at least a couple of kilometers from00:10:00
the center, you have half the area simply without00:10:02
electricity, not because everything was interrupted because because of the00:10:05
war people left, they don’t00:10:06
plan to return because either00:10:08
there are no conditions or there is simply no point in00:10:10
returning and sitting in the ass, such are the00:10:13
tangible consequences, well,00:10:15
the city is stagnating, being destroyed for more than00:10:18
6 years, as if they are making themselves felt, nothing is00:10:21
being built, nothing is developing, it’s sad to00:10:23
realize this because Donetsk has always00:10:26
been very easy-going and development of00:10:30
the city before the war, Donetsk was the most00:10:32
economically developed city on the00:10:34
territory of Ukraine, together with the adjacent00:10:36
Makeyevka,00:10:37
it was the largest industrial center of00:10:39
the country, and the sports magazine in 2012 named00:10:42
Donetsk the best city in Ukraine and the first00:10:45
in terms of purchasing power, and the00:10:47
city entered the top 6 for all selected00:10:49
indicators Lugansk in the same00:10:52
ranking took 13th place, becoming 11th in terms of00:10:56
infrastructure and purchasing00:10:57
power, the most important point for00:10:59
ordinary citizens already in 2013, the00:11:03
bus publication put Donetsk in seventh00:11:05
place in the list of the best cities in Ukraine00:11:06
for living; meadows, the list of 50 cities was not00:11:10
included, it is clear that the war is all changed00:11:12
from the industry of the mining city00:11:15
to the residents of Donbass, at first00:11:17
they had to rely on humanitarian00:11:19
convoys from Russia; however, the trade in coal with00:11:22
Ukraine quickly resumed and, according to00:11:24
some rumors, it did not stop00:11:26
even at the height of hostilities when00:11:28
the war was localized on the line of00:11:30
contact of Ukraine and the so-called00:11:33
LPR part of the production was succeeded00:11:36
restart, however, according to the00:11:38
Minister of Ukraine for Temporarily00:11:40
Occupied Territories, Donetsk00:11:42
miners are still working on a00:11:44
reduced schedule and many00:11:46
enterprises remain closed. We00:11:48
should not forget that in00:11:50
2013 Ukraine allocated00:11:53
12 billion hryvnia in subsidies to the Donbass coal industry to00:11:55
preserve jobs the new government did00:11:58
not find this money and in 2020, strikes began at the00:12:01
mines of the LPR due00:12:03
to non-payment of00:12:05
wages; in response, the authorities decided to simply00:12:07
close unprofitable mines and00:12:09
throw people out onto the street; this forces residents of00:12:12
Lugansk and Donetsk to go to work in00:12:14
Russia; someone goes to Siberia00:12:16
others work on a rotational basis in the mines of the00:12:19
Rostov region or earn extra money in the00:12:21
Crimea, while according to the Donetsk publication and00:12:23
time, the average salary in the DPR is now00:12:26
two times lower than in Ukraine;00:12:28
prices for many products are also lower,00:12:30
but certainly not twice as obvious that the00:12:33
former one of the richest cities in00:12:35
Ukraine before the war, during the00:12:38
hostilities, Donetsk became greatly impoverished,00:12:41
let alone Lugansk, which even before00:12:43
2014 did not shine even among its00:12:46
neighbors. Well, from Russia we receive humanitarian00:12:49
aid from Russia, building materials for children are00:12:52
excellent here, I myself am the00:12:54
mother of a child and I receive from the00:12:56
Russian state for up to 3 years,00:12:59
very good help, there were porridges of00:13:01
various purees, but as for00:13:04
Ukraine, I don’t know the information, I don’t know00:13:07
if there is any social assistance,00:13:09
but social assistance, I believe that from00:13:12
Russia this citizenship is, so to speak,00:13:15
priceless, what is really possible to get something00:13:17
that will be quoted in other countries00:13:18
from Ukraine, well, it’s hard to00:13:22
say anything because it seems that00:13:23
in Donetsk they completely cut off oxygen to00:13:26
everything that comes from Ukraine and basically00:13:28
focus more on Russian00:13:30
products on Russian goods on00:13:32
Russian social payments there and so on further00:13:34
because the same, for example, pensions in00:13:36
Ukraine, until now it’s almost00:13:38
impossible to go and pick them up because00:13:40
the border of the00:13:41
Donetsk People’s Republic with Ukraine is00:13:43
closed and this has been going on for a year already, I can00:13:47
give you a little statistics in terms of the fact00:13:49
that my mother is a civil servant there,00:13:51
but nothing works at the hospital to say a00:13:53
salary of 100 euros is, of course,00:13:55
the key to success for our republic00:13:56
and so on the prices, but probably how simple it00:13:59
can be for some goods a little bit00:14:02
more expensive a little cheaper well, it has a very00:14:04
strong influence on the fact that many00:14:06
private companies that buy there00:14:09
bring them here and install theirs mark-up, that00:14:11
is, in fact, we have that we get00:14:13
less than everywhere else, and00:14:16
everything costs a little more, and according to the average salary00:14:19
in the region, as far as I know, the minimum00:14:21
is 8,000 rubles, the00:14:22
average is maybe 10 12 thousand 1512, probably00:14:26
people get a month for me, my00:14:28
salary suits me I work in an educational00:14:30
institution, in principle, like a budget00:14:32
organization, the salary is quite affordable, but I00:14:38
can’t say that this salary is enough for me to live for a month00:14:40
because the prices are quite inflated, and00:14:43
compared to prices in Russia, not all00:14:47
positions of this, of course, there are such00:14:50
rumors about the annexation of the DPR and LPR to Russia00:14:53
began since the Crimea was annexed,00:14:56
however, no progress in this00:14:58
direction occurred last summer.00:15:00
1 DPR Prime Minister Alexander Borodai said00:15:03
that the results of the vote on amendments to00:15:06
the Constitution of the Russian Federation will00:15:07
soon ensure the entry of these00:15:09
unrecognized republics into Russia, but00:15:11
with why he took it00:15:12
remains a mystery, if the issue of Crimea was00:15:15
resolved quickly, then the00:15:18
Russian government has00:15:21
not yet taken steps towards absorbing Donbass and judging by its behavior, it seems to me that the00:15:24
Kremlin chose the tactic of maintaining00:15:27
tension on the border with Ukraine so far the00:15:30
only thing that the cream has done or00:15:31
has started issuing to residents of unrecognized00:15:34
territories according to the simplified program,00:15:36
Russian passports,00:15:37
but Vladimir Putin, both in 2015 and00:15:40
now,00:15:42
speaks extremely evasively about the possibility of annexing the Donbass and00:15:44
does nothing00:15:46
here, rather, it’s not Crimea that comes to mind if00:15:49
taxes are carried out, but rather, without knowing00:15:51
Abkhazia, South Ossetia, which Russia also00:15:53
helped secede from Georgia and where00:15:56
it sent its own troops,00:15:58
however, for more than twenty years, Abkhazia,00:16:01
South Ossetia, have remained00:16:03
unrecognized republics,00:16:05
wasting money from the Russian budget,00:16:08
it seems in the form of the DPR and LPR, we got00:16:11
a continuation of this story, as they say,00:16:14
neither to themselves nor to the people of Ukraine, while at the00:16:17
official level they continue to insist00:16:19
on integrity its territory but00:16:21
cannot ensure this integrity in any way,00:16:23
and according to former deputy of the00:16:25
Verkhovna Rada Evgeniy Mur, in Kiev they are00:16:27
even afraid of the return of the LPR, because then00:16:31
they will have to look for money for their00:16:32
restoration, and00:16:33
for many ordinary Ukrainians,00:16:35
residents of Donbass after the war became00:16:37
enemies of some kind of status there00:16:40
independence or the separate00:16:44
existence of the region, we can’t talk about00:16:47
absolutely all economic ties,00:16:50
cultural, they are00:16:51
focused entirely on Russia, the region00:16:54
separately simply will not survive, to be00:16:56
honest, I haven’t met people at all, even00:16:58
who are already inclined, as it were, towards00:17:00
Ukraine, they even00:17:03
themselves are already they don’t believe that we will be00:17:05
part of Ukraine and with the same rights as it00:17:08
was before ’14, but not they, not we,00:17:10
will not be able to forgive for the next decades, so00:17:12
that people are all waiting for00:17:14
peace, this is the only thing that is needed00:17:17
now00:17:18
because we have already00:17:21
been there for 6 years in a state of war with Ukraine, there is00:17:23
constant shelling, this is an economic00:17:26
blockade, it gives absolutely no hope for00:17:28
tomorrow, first of all, I really00:17:30
want the war to end,00:17:31
people to stop dying because in the00:17:35
city where I live, of course, the00:17:37
fighting ended here a long time ago, the00:17:40
structures of various utility networks have already been rebuilt00:17:43
restored but on the outskirts of Donetsk00:17:45
the war continues, it’s terrible, it’s00:17:49
very hard to understand that your fellow countrymen00:17:53
are suffering from the war, the00:17:54
first thing you want is for00:17:56
the war to end, of course we really want to00:17:59
join Russia because we’ve00:18:01
already got a lot of population,00:18:03
we got probably 50 percent, I think00:18:06
for sure We received Russian passports and we are00:18:09
still striving to join, well, we00:18:11
hope that somehow we will join00:18:13
Russia because being between00:18:17
some kind of suspended situation is very00:18:20
difficult for us, so we dream of00:18:23
joining Russia, to be there, of course,00:18:28
no one needs00:18:29
everything very much afraid of war, although00:18:32
the spirit of war, of course, doesn’t fly, it’s in00:18:35
the air, it’s standing still, I had a situation: I’m sitting00:18:37
at the computer,00:18:39
something flies around the city and the shock is00:18:42
just glass, so I’m sitting and there’s a window on the right and00:18:44
the glass isn’t killing me, it’s not very00:18:47
funny things, so yes, I00:18:49
will definitely see a repetition of some kind of active00:18:50
hostilities, I hope this does not00:18:52
happen; after all, we will somehow00:18:53
resolve our conflict peacefully, and regarding00:18:56
some further options for the development of the00:18:59
situation for the republic, I would like to00:19:01
return to Ukraine or some kind of or00:19:03
interaction with Ukraine in any form,00:19:07
because for me personally, the laws of Ukraine, in00:19:10
principle, the situation of Ukrainians in Ukraine00:19:11
is better than in the Russian Federation, it’s00:19:13
somehow easier to breathe there, I don’t want to sit down00:19:15
for insulting the feelings of believers00:19:17
or because I said something wrong on the00:19:20
social networks of the authorities which I don’t really like,00:19:22
that’s why Ukraine is closer to me00:19:25
and the exchange rate there is better, I don’t want00:19:27
to earn less every day00:19:29
because the country is in the ass, the exchange rate is falling in00:19:31
2014, many residents of Donbass00:19:34
sincerely decided to fight for independence,00:19:36
believing the rumors that appeared about the00:19:39
Bandera trains of the occupiers who will come from00:19:41
Western Ukraine will be executed by the Donbass00:19:44
for the Russian language00:19:46
and the inept actions of the Ukrainian00:19:47
leadership only added coal to this furnace,00:19:51
but then the power in Donetsk and Lugansk00:19:53
simply went to bandits whose economic00:19:56
program was to nag00:19:58
money from Russia and although the generous hand of the00:20:01
Russian state is always ready to00:20:03
take away from their own to help strangers00:20:05
the economy of Donbass, this is clearly not enough,00:20:08
ordinary people found themselves hostage, their00:20:11
homes were actually captured by incomprehensible00:20:13
state formations that00:20:15
no one in the world is ready to admit, today00:20:17
Donetsk and Lugansk are not being bombed00:20:19
and in the cities there seems to be a peaceful life, but it is00:20:21
poor and very nervous life, I really00:20:24
hope that life in Donetsk and Lugansk00:20:25
will soon return to normal, that00:20:28
these territories will again be under the full00:20:32
control of Ukraine, that the00:20:33
purge is a normal process of00:20:35
restoring Ukraine's integration of these00:20:40
territories and people will finally return to a00:20:43
normal, predictable and peaceful life,00:20:46
otherwise it will take many years for people00:20:50
they will simply remain hostage to these00:20:53
geopolitical ambitions and bitterness,00:20:55
they will be this pain point for00:20:58
which David cream periodically and in order to00:21:00
annoy the intractable who00:21:03
came out from under the wing of capricious Ukraine, the00:21:06
extreme ones, as usual, of course, of course, not the politicians00:21:09
who arrange all this, the extreme ones will be00:21:11
ordinary people who, in my opinion00:21:14
there are no prospects, there is no00:21:16
stability and there is no normal00:21:18
future while they are in such an00:21:20
unrecognized status00:21:22
