In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed, the member states were very happy, and everyone was looking forward to a good life in the future while dividing up the family property in a hot way.
But there is a very difficult question in front of us, that is, without the Soviet model, how will the future development be carried out?
As the leading big brother, Russia gave the little brothers a sample, closed their eyes and blindly copied the Western political and economic model.
Russian President Boris Yeltsin himself did not know anything about the economy, but he still pushed for the privatization of free market economies and state-owned enterprises, which was later ridiculed by the crowd.
As a result, everyone knows that Russia's economy was killed by a stick, and the oligarchs took advantage of the fire. To this day, Russia has not fully crawled out of the pit.
For Ukraine, it has been a provincial unit of Russia for more than 300 years, and after joining the Soviet Union, although it played the role of the second brother in the alliance to a certain extent, it was only a small member after all, and there was little opportunity to operate independently.
Therefore, as soon as the Soviet Union disintegrated, the most ignorant thing was Ukraine, looking at the big business of the family, but he had neither a theoretical basis nor practical experience, and such a large family property could not be held at all.
What to do?
01 How iron is the head of Ukraine?
Ukrainians are born with a strong ability to learn.
Even if there is no theoretical basis and no practical experience, Ukraine can still engage in development, after all, there is a Russian big brother with learning from the West, then there is nothing wrong with it, learn it! So Ukraine followed Russia's example.
This learning was incomprehensible, and in the end even the collapse of Russia was perfectly replicated. By 1993, inflation in Ukraine had reached four thousand percent.
That said, it just let you learn, not let you surpass! But Ukrainians don't care about this, even if Belarus and Russia have called off shock therapy, Ukraine is still trapped in it.
To this day, of the original Soviet republics, only Ukraine is the most ironclad and is still an oligarchy.
In 1994 Kutch took the stage. He is the only president of Ukraine to have served two terms, but that's not the point, the focus is on the beautiful prime minister Tymoshenko, who is around him.
Men all over the world are the same, and they have little resistance to beautiful women.
This Tymoshenko is a beautiful woman. In the process of privatization in 1991, Tymoshenko established the Ukrainian Oil Company on the basis of his father-in-law connections. Four years later, it was renamed the Ukrainian Unified Energy Company, which basically monopolized the supply of natural gas in Ukraine.
In this way, this beautiful woman quickly became Ukraine's energy oligarch.
In 1999, after some maneuvering, Tymoshenko became Ukraine's deputy prime minister. However, not long after, President Kuchma was brought to the dock of the prosecutor's office by political opponents and immediately dismissed from the presidency. Tymoshenko was also indicted by the Ukrainian General Prosecutor's Office for forging forged customs documents and smuggling natural gas.
However, Tymoshenko was released after only 4 months in prison and the charges were dropped.
But Tymoshenko is not a soft persimmon, and when he is wronged, he has to make up for it. After her release from prison, she quickly joined forces with Yushchenko to form an opposition party.
In the 2004 Ukrainian election, Tymoshenko gave Yushchenko a support, confidently taking the ukrainian presidency. But when the results came out, it was Yanukovych who was elected.
Subsequently, there was a wave of Election Fraud in Yanukovych. Grumpy Ukrainians marched through the streets to demand re-elections. Soon the parade turned into a color revolution. Later, the media broke the news that Yushchenko received strong support from Europe and the United States, and the financial subsidy was as high as 65 million US dollars.
In the face of the violent people, the Ukrainian Election Commission can't stand the pressure! The only thing that can be done is to declare the results of the presidential election invalid and start over.
02 Two ugly men and a beautiful woman
For a time, the political scene in Ukraine revolved mainly around Tymoshenko, Yushchenko and Yanukovych, two men and one woman.
After Yanukovych's presidential election results were annulled, the media broke the news that Yushchenko was poisoned by political opponents. All at once, the spearhead was directed at Yanukovych.
This wave, Yanukovych was put up, to clarify that he was not poisoned, but a little bit of a sense of no silver here. The people of the whole world are "indignant", they do not care what kind of grudges you two men and one woman have, in short, you are a despicable villain. Coupled with the blessing of Tymoshenko, a stunning beauty.
In this case, Yushchenko and Tymoshenko won.
Yushchenko became ukraine's new president, and Tymoshenko became prime minister.
However, the charm of beautiful women is too great. Relative to the president with scars on his face, people are crazy obsessed with beautiful prime ministers. Moreover, Tymoshenko's economic oligarchic background and strength are there, and how to see President Yushchenko is a foil.
In order to consolidate his position, Yushchenko came up with a strategy: to give 80% of the 2005 national budget to the people to pay welfare.
Of course, the people approve of this kind of good thing with both hands and feet. However, the problem is that this money is given to the people, so where does the money for national defense, education, and infrastructure come from?
Therefore, under the conspiracy, Ukraine's economic development can be imagined. In 2004, Ukraine's GDP growth rate was 10%, and in 2005 it fell to 3%.
Of course, Yushchenko's "means" are more than this trick. Adhering to the principle that "the enemy of the enemy is the friend", he joined hands with Yanukovych to fire Tymoshenko in March 2006 and appointed Yanukovych as prime minister.
This wave of tumultuous operations suddenly forced the people to be completely confused. Didn't you say that Yanukovych cheated in the election? How did you become prime minister? In 2004 we went out on the street and got lonely?
Yushchenko's move made European and American countries dumbfounded. I paid for your revolution, and now you're a whole pro-Russian prime minister? Isn't this the wrong father of the "golden lord"?
All at once, the pressure from all sides came up. Yushchenko realized that he had "Too young, too simple".
What to do? It can only "flex and stretch". Yushchenko went to Tymoshenko and sincerely said, "Impulse is the devil, I am impulsive, I hope that you adults do not remember the villains, look at the face of power and money, and can renew our revolutionary friendship." ”
After all, Tymoshenko is a veteran politician, and this point is still understood, so he forgives Xiao You's mistake on the spot.
In September 2007, Yanukovych was forced to resign as prime minister and Tymoshenko came to power again.
Do you think the story ended and the two of them lived a life without shame or impatience? No, no!
In 2009, the world economic crisis broke out, and the Ukrainian economy fell to the bottom completely. All these years he has been busy with revolutionary struggles and has completely neglected economic construction.
In order to survive, the people even had to "independently develop" a service industry with independent intellectual property rights - surrogacy. In order to generate income, the government has supported the surrogacy industry, and has actually developed a surrogacy industry chain, and the government has even proposed to legalize the pornography industry. Therefore, the "gentlemen" of Europe always politely call Ukraine the womb of Europe.
Back to the economic crisis of 2009. In the midst of the crisis, Ukrainians were surprised to find that the price of natural gas sold to them by Russia was the highest in Europe.
Those who had planned to leave Russia and live a good life in Europe had even more reasons. So Ukraine simply defaulted on the account and did not pay.
Seeing that Ukraine owes more and more money, Russia is also in a hurry, threatening ukraine that if it does not repay the money, it will directly cut off the gas supply pipeline. The Ukrainians once again showed "head iron", claiming that if Russia did not supply Ukraine with gas, it would block the gas pipeline to Europe. At this point, the EU panicked, you two fight, why do you want to hurt me? So I hurried to mediate this matter.
Yushchenko tossed and turned for 4 years, and finally completely crippled Ukraine. Ordinary people are simply complaining about life, those who have the ability to do surrogacy, and the inability to smuggle into Europe and Russia to dance and hand out leaflets.
Yanukovych won the election in 2010, and this time no one stepped forward to say he cheated. After Yanukovych came to power, he rushed to report Putin's thigh, and Russia also very painfully lowered the price of natural gas. In return, Yanukovych extended the Russian Black Sea Fleet's lease in Crimea for 25 years.
After so many years, Yanukovych sat firmly and began to liquidate his former sworn enemies Yushchenko and Tymoshenko. After thinking about it again and again, I decided to engage in Tymoshenko first, and they all said that the red face was a disaster, this young lady had money and popularity, and the relationship with Europe and Putin was very good, in case one day there was another color revolution, it would be terrible.
So, at the behest of the president, Tymoshenko was sentenced to seven years in 2011 for abuse of power (in fact, he was released from prison in 2014).
Yanukovych was preparing to free his hands to come out and collect other political enemies, and he was unlucky first. To show loyalty to Russia, Yanukovych suspended Ukraine's accession to the European Union in November 2013. The Ukrainians immediately stopped doing it, and why did they make a revolution for so many years? I don't want to live a good life with the Europeans without Russia, and now that you have suspended this project, isn't this just cutting off my "financial road"? Coupled with the encouragement and support of European and American countries, the diao people immediately took the script to the street.
The street march soon became uncontrollable, and the mob began to smash and burn. Yanukovych had to make concessions and negated his decision. But even so, it didn't help, the scene was completely out of control, and the demands of the demonstrations and protests turned into demands for Yanukovych to step down.
On February 22, 2014, Ukraine's Supreme Council removed President Yanukovych from the post. Yanukovych then fled to Russia. On January 20, 2015, a court in Kiev, Ukraine, ordered the arrest of former President Yanukovych. On January 24, 2019, Yanukovych was sentenced to 13 years in prison in absentia for treason.
As soon as Yanukovych fell, Tymoshenko seized the opportunity to stand up and present himself as the leader of the revolution, and continued the revolution version 2.0, strengthening the destructive effect of the revolution and smashing the capital to pieces.
Just when Ukraine was in a bad state, Putin the Great took advantage of the chaos, first signing the Wudong region as a buffer zone, and then forcibly taking back Crimea. After Crimea joined Russia, Donetsk and Lugans also declared independence. After many rounds of negotiations, the two "troubled years" reluctantly agreed to remain in Ukraine, but took the opportunity to get full autonomy.
03 The era of comedy in Ukraine?
2014 was an extremely sour year for Ukraine.
The Ukrainians smashed their country, Lost Crimea, and nearly dismembered itself. And the European and American countries that have always claimed to play with Ukraine have collectively chosen to stand by and watch the hilarity.
How many pounds do you want to think about? Russia is hegemonic at its doorstep, which time will it lose?
None of this matters, though, and no one really remembers it, and perhaps the Ukrainians themselves have forgotten it. But the crimes in Crimea have made Ukrainians even more hateful of Russia.
So the pro-European And American Poroshenko came to power. This Shenko, like Tymoshenko, is an oligarch who made his fortune in the privatization movement. He founded Rusheng in 1996 and later developed into the largest confectionery company in Europe. Poroshenko was known as the Chocolate King before becoming president.
Faced with the mess left by his predecessors, Chief Poroshen sighed and could only start over. In 2016, the Ukrainian economy finally stopped negative growth and achieved a growth rate of 3% which is the best result in the past 5 years.
But as the days got better, Poroshenko's merchant nature was exposed. According to Ukrainian media reports, in 2018, Poroshenko hacked the country's defense budget through black box operations, and he even used his identity to manipulate defense procurement and extract huge profits from it. Poroshenko's personal income in 2018 reached 3.3 billion rubles, 80 times that of 2017. Poroshenko's actions completely devastated the Ukrainian army.
In 2019, Ukraine once again ushered in general elections.
This time, the beautiful woman Tymoshenko came out to vote again, but unfortunately she was eliminated in the first round. In the end, only Poroshenko and the famous comedian Zelenskiy remained.
The final result is known to everyone, and the comedian Zelenskiy won the election. Before becoming president, Zelenskiy was just a mere comedian. He has never even acted in a palace fight drama, and is a political master of the Eight Classics.
It may be that ordinary people are too disappointed in these professional politicians, so they put all their hopes on this happy comedian.
Interestingly, Zelenskiy was elected in large part because he had starred as a president in a satirical comedy. In the play, Zelenskiy plays a middle school history teacher named Vasily Podnovich, who usually plays in class? Scolding the government for being incompetent and undisciplined, corrupt, and as a result, the video of him scolding the government was posted on the Internet and suddenly became an Internet celebrity. Later, the students instigated Vasily to run for the presidency. Vasily miraculously won. Subsequently, he summoned his young classmates and ex-wife to the government and formed a low-end cabinet team and an oligarchy to fight wits and courage.
This drama is a veritable divine drama in Ukraine, but it can't stand the people's liking. So after the first season aired, someone on the Internet launched a discussion to let Zelenskiy run for president. I don't know if Zelenskiy is really confident, or if he is too deep into the drama, and even registered for the 2019 presidential election on the last day of 2018.
Even more magically, Zelenskiy won and was actually elected president of Ukraine.
In the process of running for office, Zelenskiy also gave full play to his talent as a comedian. It was agreed to debate with Poroshenko, but the pigeons were released directly, and the scolding battle prepared by Poroshenko could only be performed alone against the wall.
In the last presidential debate, the comedian unexpectedly knelt down on the scene, and this bump directly forced Poroshenko to be confused. But the common people liked this sensational feeling, and there was no way, Poroshenko also fell to his knees. So, you can see things that have never happened anywhere in the world, with two heads of state kneeling in a campaign debate.
In the end, Zelenskiy conquered everyone with his excellent acting skills and won by an overwhelming margin, with a 72.7% vote. Ukraine thus entered the era of happy comedians,
In fact, ordinary Ukrainians are not stupid, do they not know the consequences of choosing an actor to be president? They know everything, just no way! After the election, a Ukrainian citizen said I was 90 percent sure that Zelenskiy's presidency would be a disaster, but I voted for him because I knew it would be a disaster for Poroshenko to stay on stage 100 percent.
This is Ukrainian politics, for the 1% chance!
Ukrainians naively thought god had given them a 1% chance. But reality has made a big joke to Ukrainians.
Although Zelenskiy is a political rookie, the comedian's boss is Kolomowski, the second richest man in Ukraine, a standard business oligarch, and both are Jewish. Even more frightening is the fact that Kolomoski was previously a supporter of Tymoshenko.
This is his grandmother's bear, making trouble or not escaping oligarchy!
