TI - The Korsun Incident. Political provocation as a tool of Russian special services
AB - Describing the outbreak of the conflict in eastern and southern Ukraine in 2014, the author puts forward a hypothesis that the social protests, which then turned into a severe phase of civil war secretly supported by the Russian Federation, were provoked by the Russian special services. According to the author, the so-called Korsun pogrom, repeal of the so-called language act and the threat of forceful pacification of the east by one of the leaders of the Right Sector were the logical links of a political provocation aimed at maximum social polarisation along political and linguistic lines. The social upheaval was then reinforced by the structures led by the Russian special services, which brought about losing Crimea and part of Donbas by Ukraine.
