Hähää, separatismia muuallakin kuin Ukrainassa

The Guardian kirjoittaa separatistisista ilmiöistä Venäjällä:

Moscow appears to have successfully blocked efforts hold a march in favour of Siberian independence in Novosibirsk, the country’s third most populous city, this Sunday.
The Novosibirsk mayor’s office reportedly denied permission for the march in favour of Siberian Federalisation “in order to ensure the inviolability of the constitutional order, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Russian Federation”.
But Russian authorities have failed to prevent the ideas behind it from spreading not only to other Siberian cities like Yekaterinburg, but also – and more seriously – to Kaliningrad and Kuban.

But interest in federalisation is not limited to Siberia and Kaliningrad. There are regionalist movements in Karelia, Ingermanland, Novgorod and elsewhere, and they have now been joined by a new one: in Kuban. 

Putinin politiikka saattaa parhaassa tapauksessa toteuttaa hänen pahimman pelkonsa, ja toteuttaa Karjalan palautuksen tekemällä sen tarpeettomaksi.
