It does not matter what the surname of the saboteur who planted the bomb that killed the head of the DPR, Aleksandr Zakharchenko. Another thing is important; who forced the man, who started his career as a mining electrician in one of the mines of Donbass, to take up arms in order to defend the right of the inhabitants of the region to speak their native language and honor their heroes.
Tens of thousands of people came to say goodbye to Aleksandr Zakharchenko, the media informs us. Even more – hundreds of thousands.
About 200,000 people took part in the funeral procession in memory of the leader of the DPR, Aleksandr Zakharchenko. Among those who came to the farewell ceremony in Donetsk, were the head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov and State Duma Deputy, Natalya Poklonskaya. People stood in line for several hours to lead Aleksandr Zakharchenko in the last path. In the DPR, they are sure that this murder is another act of aggression on the part of Ukraine.
It is difficult not to agree with the inhabitants of the Republic on this issue. Ukraine really did kill him. But not so much those who planted an explosive, put it into action or even giving the order for it. Zakharchenko was killed by the Ukrainian system itself, which was formed far before August 31st.
The father of the head of the DPR worked for 35 years as a miner at one of the Donbass coal mines. Zakharchenko himself after graduation from school and the Donetsk Technical College of Industrial Automation also went to the coal industry. He worked as a mining electrician, and worked hard on his conscience – he reached the 6th rank.
I think that if the USSR did not dissolve, then Zakharchenko could fully, like his father, give 35 years to the coal industry. But capitalism came, and it turned out differently. And it finally came through entrepreneurship to political activities. And then and before that. Remember the year 2014?

– Storing and carrying non-registered weapons is a crime in this case.
And why? In Kiev it’s normal and is called heroism, why is it considered a crime?
– So you are by—
In Kiev they call it heroism. That “we are heroes” and “Heavenly Hundred” and that all are heroes. They died with weapons, many of them did. Well then why can they [have weapons]?
– Was it most of them?
And the others that didn’t die were with weapons too. Did Sasha Beliy [Right Sector extremist] die with a non-registered weapon?
– Well yeah…
Well then what are you—
– But he died because of it. Are you ready to repeat his fate?
Sasha Beliy died for his idea, and we will die for ours.
*Clip ends*
Look at what a solid person he was. He said it, and did it. Back then he already knew perfectly well that these were not just words, but prophecy. But he believed it. Until the end, he believed in that very idea.
Those who killed him were the ones that created the existing political system in Ukraine. A system in which only profit is important, albeit with blood. The system where the Bandera portraits were used and continue to be used for economic colonization. You, they said, are the wrong Ukrainians – you don’t want to learn the language, you don’t respect the SS Galichina, you don’t wear vishivankas [Ukrainian traditional clothing]. Therefore, we will take everything from you. But if you don’t agree – we’ll kill you. In the literal sense of the word.
By the way, Russian officials also have their hands attached to this. Anyone who could have shown more firmness on the Donbass issue is also responsible for Zakharchenko’s death. Plus, all those who drove the DPR into such conditions, when the Republic can’t even normally sell coal outside its borders.
I’ll be honest with you, I don’t believe the story of it being Ukrainian saboteurs. And in Donetsk itself, they don’t believe it either. The place is too notable – an establishment in the center of the capital. Strangers do not go there. This means that Zakharchenko was killed by so-called “our guys.” But in reality for Donbass, they are not “our guys.” They are products of the same Ukrainian system, its feeders. They in the 90’s used to solve economic issues by bullet and explosives.
And now these people, under the cover of the Minsk agreements, will try to strengthen their power in Donetsk to quietly shove it back into Ukraine, and to remain in power themselves, having agreed with Kiev on autonomy.
This is the true purpose of the murder of Aleksandr Zakharchenko. And since it’s that way, then the Minsk agreements actually came to an end. I will quote here the words of a politician whose last name I will not say, so that nobody yells that I’m doing his PR.
“The murder of Zakharchenko nullified the Minsk agreements.” End quote. And since it was reset, then into the garbage. The best recognition of the contribution of the deceased head of the DPR to the defense of Donbass, will be the official breakdown of these agreements. And from the side of Russia – the recognition of the independence of the Republic de jure. As the precedents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia show, with political will it is not difficult.
And the “civilized countries” can go to hell. Because of the ten polished Macrons, it’s impossible to make one Donbass coal miner Zakharchenko. Their bones aren’t the same.
*Clip plays*
– How would you explain all of this? For you, what is the frontline to this moment?
Well someone considers me an adrenaline rush-seeker. Another considers that I can’t live without it, “what a harmful person.” But here, everything is a lot more simple. Here is one of the main tasks that is fulfilled by the head of state: including appointing with what the troops live [food/equipment]. How the troops live. What they are thinking, what wishes, dreams, aspirations – you must understand it. If you are the chief, you must know what your soldiers want and what they dream of. And until you reach the frontline, you won’t realize this. Because the frontline is the clean truth. In the cabinet, they can lie – the situation is different. But in the trench is life and death – no lies. There’s no lies there.

Passionate reaction to brutal murder . Probably too hasty assumptions.
Ukraine is Gordian knot that has to be untangled patiently and very carefully .
It’s not a hasty assumption at all. Non of the previous assassinations in the DNR were successfully investigated. More then that, people who were supposedly arrested in 2016 and confessed to kill Motorola and Givi are free. None of them were sentenced to anything and it turns out whole thing was a fake media circus. By the government of the DNR itself:

We thought that things in the DNR are different then in the LNR. But we might have being mistaken.
The video above is made by Anatoly Shariy
Its title: Yesterday was Motorola
You can change the subtitles to English
in case you forgot, patience and care where not used by alexander when he managed to untangle the original, quite the contrary!
Headline is wrong. Claim to know but dont.
https://off-guardian.org/2018/10/04/capt-paul-barril-we-know-who-killed-alexander-zakharchenko/
I read this early today on a Russian aggregation site.
It leaves me cold. If no outside scheme was involved, then some masters of assassination bombing are within the capability of DNR operatives. (Thus, Motorola was killed by them, also? Completelt an inane notion.)
Then to say capitalism and greed of commercial operations is to blame? Ludicrous.
That was a big part of Lugansk and those warlords who were eliminated. Many were criminally greedy.
Donetsk is a whole other animal jungle. Here, treachery has alway abounded.
Hard to count all the assassination attempts by SBU over the years, (Dennis Pusilin has been targeted at least three times, Zakh at least three times) and then the three big ones that took Motorola, Givi and Zakh.
The Donbass is caught in a geopolitical Mixmaster. Russia can’t go take it without real cause.
The separation from Ukraine can only be a very painful long process.
Zakh was caught in the Mixmaster.
It’s not that complicated to understand.
Larch, I do not think that Zakharchenko was caught in the mixmaster, he joined it voluntarily. I also believe, that Zakharchenko said it as it is, anyone joining in had to accept the fact that the final price had to be paid at some time, and he paid it. I also think that the guys like, and I quote:
“Vice Premier Dmitry Trapeznikov has been appointed Acting Head of the DNR. He has close ties with Alexander Khodakovsky, whose enthusiasm for the Novorossiya cause has never been particularly high, and both men are connected to the Donbass oligarch Rinat Akhmetov.”
May have conspired in this event, but eventually they’ll lose. Putin will not let the Donbas slip into the Western hands.

It’s not a done deal, for the West.
Anonius, thank you for this reply to Larch445. I was able to understand many things from what you wrote.
So, no mention of blame of the USG, nothing about nuland, PNAC, biden etc – none of this would have happened without the murderous USG’s involvement. And the title is rubbish. I can’t take this author seriously.
Sometimes an event occurs that affects one’s ability to rationally think about it. Having read this man many times, I think that explains his words. I wrote elsewhere that Obama, Nuland, et al are the one’s ultimately responsible for his and so many other deaths; so, it was unsurprising to see Michelle Obama holding GW Bush’s hand at McCain’s funeral.
I hate to do this, but to illustrate the world turned inside out, contrast the lives of Mr Zakharchenko and a certain US Senator, who has recently met his maker, who is not without blame for the death of Mr Z., amongs many, many others around the globe including his fellow citizens.
God is dead…
No, geronimo, we are living the time of transition between two opposite ways of doing things. The old way will have to go. We will see.
A lot of noise, some of which I don’t necessarily disagree with at an emotional level, but little substance otherwise. Sorry, this kind of stuff doesn’t cut it, especially now when netanyahoo’s boy toy trump has directly threatened Syria, Russia, Iran and Hizbulla over the Idlib offensive about to start.
Think the zionazi murder of Zakharchenko is unrelated to the zionazi’s defense of their terrorists in Idlib? Think again.
As for Zakharchenko’s murder being a “ukrainian thing”, paraphrased, it is no more that than the murder of thousands opposed to israeloamerica in dozens of countries around the world has been an “ukrainian thing”.
For starters, the speaker can look up how kidon operate.
well, I was happy to find out about Zak being a miner and the son of a miner – and I liked the portrait of him as being at the front lines – like Motorola and Givi – the fucking neo-nazis with the help of CIA / Mossad killed him. To get at Putin and the multipolar world –
Yes. The neo-nazis are the brute force of the neocons, who are the political arm of the transnational capitalist class (TCC) that controls the globalization process. The TCC want a unipolar world so they will be able to continue their control.
He was more than a miner Ann. He became a mining electrician. They are special breed – I know as my Father was also a colliery electrician .There are not a lot around. I grew up in a mining community: the “face worker”s kids were my mates, my street gang.
Not one of those miners, looked down on in England, especially by the Aristos, was ever, outside their own male circle, crude, rude, obnoxious or threatening; certainly never to a woman or child. I have received abuse from so called “upper middle class professionals” that no miner ever did or would use.
They do a dangerous, dirty job which is much needed. Many die too young from pneumoconiosis [also know as “miners dust” in the lungs]. I was so pleased when President Putin talked to a few recently, to hear him say that, in Russia, miners are valued.
Seeing the photo of Zakharchenko in underground kit, black dust on his face, made him seem so familiar to me.
It made it seem so much closer somehow; I still feel raw and sad.
You can’t say “I know who killed them” and not give names.
Who are these “insiders” who are not Ukrainian secret service, who think they can push Donbass into the Galician wasteland?
You have to name names, and give evidence.
Otherwise it’s just more click bait, and a means to be paid a dollar for a “piece”.
This loss is painful in the extreme – and almost irrepairable.
Yet there were others, and I find nothing said of them.
They and their family too have suffered, especially I hear one was a tiny child.
They should not be forgotten in the tidal wave of grief at the loss of Zakharchenko.
I can find nothing about them in a standard search – does anyone have any further information on them?
The only other person who was killed was his body guard.
Timofeev, Finance minister of DNR was badly burnt, but showed up for the funeral (though his doctors didn’t want him out of the hospital). Another person badly hurt was in charge of cultural and children’s activites. She’s 60% burned and in critical condition. A few others are badly hurt (3, I think). 5 or 6 were treated and never in hospital.
No Children. Early reports are often flawed.
So, too, the arrests of suspects. These often are not actually involved. Again, early reports and early police action are often not facts you can count on.
Colonel Cassad has a lot of funeral photos.
https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/4428769.html
You can see Timofeev at the casket burial. He and Zakh were close friends as well as two top officials.
Scrolling through the photos you’ll come to the body guard who died. He was a young fellow. According to reports, he was first in line when the bomb was detonated.
Thanks a lot L445.
It’s a relief to know that the child wasn’t killed. That was bothering me a lot.
As you say, early reports are usually wrong in many details, and sometimes that is a good thing.
On the Duran, they say (DNR commandament source) that Ukies are planning their attack on sept 14th.
Might explain western media silence, though they’re always silent to whitewash Ukronazi crimes anyway…
“Those who killed him were the ones that created the existing political system in Ukraine. A system in which only profit is important, albeit with blood.”
Childish conclusion. The Jewish Mafia prints money. Trying to earn money – and always failing – is purely for goys.
“The system where the Bandera portraits were used and continue to be used for economic colonization”
The Jewish Mafia routinely hides behind Fascist clowns. Since the days of Ancient Rome. Goys fall for this nonsense again, and again.
It is not important who actually killed Aleklsandr Zakharchenko, a Ukrainian operative or somebody inside the DPR whom the Ukrainians either blackmailed or bribed. What is important is who gave the order. It’s pretty obvious that Ukraine gave the order, backed by NATO. The aim was to destabilize the DPR before a possible Ukrainian attack (and a feeble one at that). Typical Western mentality, additional proof that NATO does not understand the Russian mind. Some 200.000 people attended the funeral of Aleksandr Zakharchenko. Instead of destabilizing the DPR, they made it even stronger, the people furious what was done to their leader.
No doubt NATO is analyzing the current situation in Ukraine, and no doubt it does not like what it sees. As I have written before, at the beginning of this year I was expecting a Ukrainian attack against the Donbass either during the Presidential elections in Russia, or during the World Cup. To my surprise, it did not happen. Then I started reading about mass desertions from the Ukrainian Army, with one Ukrainian conscript openly stating on the Internet that if Poroshenko attacked the Donbass, he will end up with nobody left to fight, as everyone would have deserted. Now I am reading that an incredible 100.000 people are leaving Ukraine every month. By December of 2017 some 4 million had fled to the West and 4.4 million to Russia. NATO, no doubt, came to the correct conclusion that any attack against the Donbass would have seen severe repercussions inside Ukraine, with a Maidan in reverse and the the country even breaking up into three parts, as is being predicted by analysts.
The murder of Aleksandr Zakharchenko was a desperate attempt by Ukraine and the West to snatch some sort of victory at the last moment. It failed pathetically. The West is now stuck with a collapsing Ukraine, which it is incapable of saving. The coup d’etat of 2014 started a chain reaction which cannot be stopped. The country will either have to be federalized into three entities, or else it will break up into three parts. It will probably breakup into three parts anyway.
Off course its important to know who killed Zakh.
Anyone who claim its sufficient to blaim the western capitalist system and their lackeys, is suspected for trying to hide the conspiricy.
I don’t see what’s so difficult to understand about the article, it’s written in simple,easy to understand English.If someone put a lamb into a cage of wolves would you blame the wolves for killing the lamb or the one who put it there?People, in large part, are creatures of circumstance, they act according to the circumstances they find themselves in, but politically,economically and socially speaking these circumstances/conditions are created by the man-made systems they live under and by their fellow man, so both these things are valid targets of criticism(including in cases of assassinations like this).
So why shouldn’t the author criticize the Western capitalist system of post-Soviet Ukraine?Clearly they haven’t gotten the prosperity and luxury they were promised and if the author is correct, instead it is causing the people to kill each other.And Ukraine for it’s part certainly could have handled the Donbass situation differently, as could have the Russian Federation,the European Union,the USA,NATO and the UN, maybe if they did this wouldn’t have happened?And the current status quo could have been avoided altogether.
Also I wasn’t aware they couldn’t even sell coal outside their borders, is this because no one officially recognizes the Republics as legitimate nation-states?I guess everyone has to protect their little fiefdoms, can’t have the peasants realizing they can just declare independence and form their own countries.
The nation State is actually in danger. The bosses of the unipolar world (that is, the transnational capitalist class (TCC)) do not need the nation State anymore as it is resisting domination. Even Ukraine may eventually have a Maidan in reverse, as stated by B.F., and may fight back! Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Syria and others are targets because they oppose the madness of a unipolar world and are getting organized. Others are joining them, and they will win.
Yes, there seems to be groups attempting to do that but I don’t believe it’s even humanly possible to actually accomplish such a task.Even national governments have a hard time governing just their own nations, what chance would a world spanning government have?These attempts to get rid of countries/nation-states will have the opposite effect and the world will end up in a new era of tribal warfare, if the attempts are successful.

Dont insult a perfectly delicious fish, thats actually my supper tonight lol.
Interested that it has just been announced [I think a days or so ago] that President Putin will, on the 7th Sept, just before the massive Far Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, visit Iran for extensive discussion with the leader of Iran and Turkey.
Concurrent is the unprecedented build up of Russian Navy Flotilla in the Med.
In an interview, when asked to comment on the horrific assassination of Zakharchenko Lavrov clearly and unambiguously included the Americans in the planning of it. And added that it’s “very serious”.
Putting these apparently separate events together, I wonder if America, in the midst of it’s tirades against Iran, is feeling just a bit pinched.
I wonder whether, on this announcement – to which I have, so far, not seen a US reaction – any American upper ruling eschelon still able to think clearly has perhaps started taking lots of spare clean underpants in their brief cases.
I wonder, I wonder.
Damned pity this courageous man was assassinated.
I may not agree with his politics or the side of history he found himself on. But he was surely a brave and successful combatant.
