Inside the LNR Elections- A Look through the Lens of the Russian Federation and the LNR Foreign Ministry
by GH Eliason for The Saker Blog
On November 11, 2018, along with people from twenty two countries, I was in Lugansk People’s Republic as an election observer for the national election. The elections in Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics was necessary because of the assassination of DNR Head of the Administration Alexandr Zakharchenko and the resignation of former Head of the Administration Igor Plotnitsky.
In the run to the election and following it I was privileged to be able to interview diplomats from the Russian Federation and Lugansk People’s Republic. I took statements from the Deputy Foreign Minister in LNR, an OSCE election observer who was on his way to monitor the US mid-terms, and the mayor of Stakhanov which is a city in LNR.
Shattering the republics seem to be the motivation behind Zakharchenko’s assassination.
The elections themselves had the power to make or break the new republics. If the turnout was low, it would have meant that people voted no confidence in the young states and would have signaled they were failing.
Instead, the voter turnout is among the highest recorded anywhere in recent memory. Lugansk People’s Republic had a 77% voter turnout and DNR came in with 80%.
Instead of the outcome being determined by the results, this election is getting parsed by commas and period placement. While no one is actually arguing about if it was a legal election, Ukraine is arguing its legitimacy.
Ukraine and LDNR only have one mechanism to negotiate through. This embodies the Minsk agreements. Minsk II makes the only reference to elections agreed to by all parties. Ukraine has the right to regulate local elections in LDNR. This gives the Ukrainian government control over how city and town elections are run. Ukraine decides what is a legitimate election is and what is not according to Ukrainian law.
Notice the parsing between legitimate (authentic) and according to Ukrainian law. This represents the arguments made about the election.
The principal involved is the same as a government assuming a power because it isn’t forbidden in the Constitution. This is done all the time and is considered normal.
Since the Minsk Agreements don’t allow for Ukraine to regulate the national elections, LDNR rightfully assume the authority to do so. This is against the backdrop of DNR Head Zakharchenko’s assassins admitting to work for Ukraine.
What does that mean? Well for international bodies that means different things depending on what their mandate is. I was able to put these questions to an OSCE Election Observer on his way to monitor the US midterm elections. This is what he could say:
“The OSCE can only observe an election if it is invited to do so by an OSCE participating State, so any statements from the OSCE would not comment on any procedural aspects of the elections. The OSCE only observes elections when they are invited by the internationally recognized government, which in this case would be the authorities in Kyiv, and since the Ukrainian government denounces the Donbas elections as illegitimate, it is not inviting the OSCE to observe. Therefore the OSCE will not be monitoring and will not comment on the procedural aspects.”
As you can see, it isn’t legality that is questioned. It’s legitimacy that Kiev questions. It’s procedure, which is administrative detail. And lastly, it is the lack of an internationally recognized government invitation.
This is important because the same principals apply when I interviewed Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dimitry Polanskiy and LNR’s Foreign Minister Vladislav Danego.
Ambassador Polanskiy, I would like to have a statement from you about Russia’s official attitude toward what kind of status change this (the election) brings to LDNR?
Second,do you see this as a step to (LDNR) normalizing relations with Russia? IE recognition?
Ambassador Polanskiy- “Hello once again. I will try to explain our position to you. The leaders of some districts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions were elected on November 11 of this year. The current leaders – Denis Pushilin (Donetsk) and Leonid Pasechnik – were elected to the top positions. The voter turnout was unprecedentedly high – almost 80 percent.
The elections were organized under the universal and equal right to vote as guaranteed by item 7.3 of the 1990 Copenhagen Document of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and by the basic standards of democracy.
The Kiev authorities do not want to hear this, but we will tell them about the unanimous opinion of the many observers from over 20 countries, including OSCE member states. On the whole, voting took place in a calm atmosphere and without violations. The absence of excesses was reaffirmed by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM). Its personnel did not act as observers at these elections but continued monitoring the situation in the unrecognized republics under their mandate.
Now I would like to say a few words about motives. After the assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko, the potential “vacuum of power” created a real risk of total destabilization in southeastern Ukraine. This could have negatively affected the sustenance of life in Donbass and the process of settlement in general against the backdrop of the Kiev-imposed trade and economic blockade and Kiev’s continuous threats to use force.
The elections made it possible to avoid this scenario. Now the people’s elected officials have a mandate to address the practical goals of supporting a normal life in these regions and carrying out the social functions that have been stubbornly neglected by the Ukrainian authorities. It is essential to approach the results of the election in Donbass with understanding, respect and consideration for the totality of all factors.
We assume that it was held outside the context of the Minsk Package of Measures, item 12 of which is exclusively devoted to local elections. We hope the newly elected leaders of Donetsk and Lugansk will continue the dialogue with Kiev in the framework of the Contact Group on settling the crisis in southeastern Ukraine in accordance with the Minsk agreements.
2. And we are open for normalization with Ukraine, all the contrary initiatives come from Kiev, not from us. Ukraine has become an “Anti-Russia” from the point of view of its foreign policy
Instead of looking for alleged Russian aggression and blaming everything on my country Ukraine should better try to find the way to win back the trust of its citizens – those who live in the East and in the South. There is no other way to peace for Kiev but through dialogue with Donbass!
To answer your question about recognition. We do not intend to recognize these two republics, and the elections change nothing in this regard. They create no new status. Previous ones were held 4 yrs ago. According to Minsk agreements some day they will return to Ukraine.
But Kiev needs to implement Minsk agreements for this, create conditions for residents of Donbass to feel at home, speak Russian language and teach their children in it as well as respect their historic figures who fought for the liberation of Ukraine from Nazi Germany. So far it is not being done.”
Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Polanskiy makes it clear that Russia’s position while supportive, remains within its agreements and international norms regarding LDNR. Ukraine on the other hand has been ramping up the rhetoric and bringing in the machinery of war to the front lines as it continues to shell peaceful civilian homes and apartments. Kiev is now threatening a Blitzkrieg war in a region Ukrainian nationalists assisted Germany with its Blitzkrieg war in WWII.
LNR FM Vladislav Danego on what the results mean going forward
The morning after the election I was lucky enough to catch LNR’s Foreign Minister Vladislav Danego in the hotel lobby and he graciously agreed to an interview.
George Eliason– I’m with LNR’s (Lugansk People’s Republic) Foreign Minister Danego. It’s the day after the election and they have a mandate, 77% of voters able to vote; voted.
Foreign Minister Danego, how do you see negotiations, peace negotiations going with Ukraine from this point forward?
LNR Foreign Minister Vladislav Danego– “The result that was shown yesterday, that level of political awareness and desire (aspiration) that people showed with 77% participation (in the election) said that the world needs to respect (honor) the people’s choice and that would also include Ukraine.
Donbass clearly said, “We are for the republic.” In LNR and DNR it’s absolutely unprecedented (electoral) participation. That level of voter participation is rarely seen anywhere.
In this situation, we will force Ukraine to accept the opinion (choice) of Donbass. And in the talks, first of all, and most of all, it will complicate the talks because Ukraine categorically refuses to hear the people of Donbass. But I hope the international community will make Ukraine open their eyes, and open their ears, and hear what Donbass is saying.
Only under those conditions will there be the possibility of at least some progress in dialogue with Ukraine. If Ukraine will continue pretending they cannot see or hear Donbass, then accordingly, we will make our decision on whether it’s feasible to try and negotiate with such a country. Or will we need to wait until the government in Ukraine becomes the kind that is willing to talk and negotiate?
And that’s why we had elections because we now have two republics where there are governments acting for the interests of the people who live in Donbass and have to periodically check for the approval of the people.
Right now, first and foremost, people showed their patriotism and responsibility toward their country. The results will be announced shortly. Preliminary results show that interim Head of the Republic Pasichnik is ahead and also results for members of the People’s Council.
People showed a high level of trust to the current leadership of the republic. They showed their desire to move forward. They showed they want to build peaceful lives and count on the help of the Russian Federation. They showed this clearly at the end of the day of the election.”
Every one of Foreign Minister Danego statements are in line with international law and the agreements Lugansk People’s Republic (LNR) has with Kiev.
FM Danego isn’t saying Kiev has to deal with LNR in a different way. He made it clear the people have decided who is representing them at the negotiating table and who is leading them into the future today. The one other thing is Kiev has to start respecting the agreements they are party to.
LNR DFM Anna Soroka on reasons why this election is important
We went to the commemoration at the We will not forgive! We will not forget! Memorial with LNR Deputy Foreign Minister Anna Soroka. This is the text of what she had to say.
This place is where the soul of Lugansk People’s Republic lays. In this place some of the citizens of Lugansk were killed during the military actions of the summer of 2014. I am the Deputy Foreign Minister of Lugansk People’s Republic. My name is Anna. I, personally was a participant and took part in the events that happened in 2014.
Right now, we’re at the memorial for burial of the victims. It’s called “Never forget, Never forgive!” Here lies up to 800 citizens of the republic. One hundred nineteen we know the names of. The rest are unknown to us.
I will explain how / why this happened. Aberonnaya Street divides the city (Lugansk) into two parts and it has importance in two wars, the first and the second world wars. As it happened this street historically divides our city into two parts.
The memorial for victims of nineteen forty-two, nineteen forty-three (behind her in the video) is for up to twenty-five thousand war victims of Voroshelovgrad (Lugansk) tortured by the Nazi army and this place where we stand now, the memorial “We don’t forget, we don’t forgive!” is for the victims of Ukrainian aggression of 2014 (to her left in the video).
This is the one place that doesn’t need (more)proof of the guilt of the Ukrainian army of the Kiev regime that unlawfully came to power in February 2014. It, by itself is the witness that in peaceful normal conditions this kind of mass grave has no place. It cannot happen.
In the summer of 2014, when Lugansk was without lights and water, from the airport and all sides of the surrounding territory (Lugansk) was occupied by Ukraine, mortars were flying from the territory occupied by Ukraine. Civilians were dying everywhere, all over the city, even in the center of Lugansk.
The city was not able to keep up with all the bodies that were coming in because there was no electricity and not enough generators. All four cemeteries of Lugansk were under fire by the Ukrainian army. The decision was made to bury people here. If you can imagine the situation, this was the frontline (points in the middle distance). The airport which was four kilometers from here was under the control of the Ukrainian army. They attacked from there.
It was very difficult to bury people here as well (because it was also under fire). People dug trenches and as we said before (most of those who died) are unknown. We are now working on Identifying the rest of the people buried here.
I don’t want to paint this horrific picture, if you could imagine for a minute, no lights, no water, explosions every minute, shells exploding overhead, bodies without heads, legs, or arms. It was very scary, horrific. We didn’t know who they were. That’s why there are so many unknown.
And we want very much for the world to know about the fact this place exists. This precise place is a direct witness to the crimes of Ukraine against our people. And today, when we stand before the choice that we have to make at our election, we would like to know that the world will hear us and understand us.
And understand we are not just trying to show our willfulness (contrariness). We fight for our lives, for peace. We fight for them (points to the mass grave) because we are responsible before them. I propose a moment of silence for all those who have died.
An interview with Sergey Schevlakov, the Mayor of Stakhanov about why the election is important to Donbass.
“The Ukrainian government started this. None of us, not I, not you wanted to start this war. We didn’t go to Lviv or somewhere else in Western Ukraine to tell them how to run things. We were all friendly, all friends. Our families were friends. It’s them that came to kill us.
It is them that is tearing the country (Ukraine) apart. So, it’s understood the government of Ukraine has different goals. For example, a long time ago in 12th century Great Rus, when it was torn apart into little kingdoms and history is repeating itself.
It happened in the 16th century. It’s repeating again today. Everyone wants to be a little king separating into little kingdoms. Instead of uniting, they tried to be great themselves.”
George Eliason- Will the Moscow Patriarchate be able to mend the breech in Ukrainian Orthodoxy?
Mayor Sergey Schevlakov -” Let me put it this way, we had one great powerful country. The world had competition. To have someone lose you have to impoverish(bankrupt) them spiritually and economically.
So, the European countries coalition tore apart the Soviet Union and now they are doing it to everything else including Ukraine. The goal is to push away a part of Russiya (greater Russia) that had Ukraine and Belarus together. It used to be one body or one country, they are consciously separating Ukraine and Russiya, pushing them away from each other so they could never unite again.
For a thousand years Ukraine and Russia were one country and one people. For them not to unite and show that they are different, is why they are consciously forcing the Ukrainian language and won’t have Russian. Although we have one language, they are forcing the concept that we are different people and a different country.
And now to separate us spiritually, they are setting up the Ukrainian Prava Slava (Orthodox Church) so they want to be separate from the Russian Orthodox Church.
To divide the church in parts is to separate part of the people that live in Ukraine. On their own the western countries and institutes created the separation to divide us so that we could never join again, so that we could never become strong again.
So that we will always be poor and miserable. So that we crawl on our hands and knees before those that give welfare handouts or that we have to go to their countries to work on their plantations.
To make us the 21st century slaves.
In other words, instead of building equality between countries, between different nations and peoples there should be respect and equality to build peaceful and good relationships between countries. But today, unfortunately, a different road is chosen. War, destruction, poverty, sorrow, tears, and so on;
We don’t want this.
We want peace and normal relationships politically, economically, and spiritually. That is why we are against the separation and division in the Church as well.
So, to summarize; we are former Soviet countries, meaning we are one people really. But in Soviet times the Germanies after WWII were separated in two countries. Russia did not fan the flames of division between the two Germanies. Was there a war between the two Germanies? No.
The Soviet Union left everything in Germany (didn’t rob the country) and took the Soviet army out. They allowed the two Germanies to come together without any conflict. But why then is the same Germany that was allowed to unite, the first to interfere in our union?
Instead, they’re causing us to divide instead of uniting so that we are left hungry and without work. That’s why I have this question. How is this a democratic Europe? Just saying, for example.”
Since the election, Ukraine has declared a state of war. They have moved S-300 surface to air missiles into the Donbass conflict zone. Olexandr Turchinov wants to use Blitzkrieg operations which he says will subdue LDNR in one week.
Russia is taking the threat very seriously this time. This is the result of the election on Ukraine’s side. Especially since there is a mandate for the newly elected leaders to continue moving in the direction they are going, Ukraine wants to destroy the new republics, not reintegrate them.
The world community needs to take these threats seriously. The people of the region have suffered enough. If the conflict in Donbass widens at all, ie starts to involve Russian military, it will likely engulf the entire region as well.
As long as Russians failed to control at least Donetsk and Luhansk, since 2014, chances to reverse the events are almost impossible.
Pulling back Igor Strelkov, and surrendering Sloviansk, on 5 July 2014, was the beginning of the end of Novo Rossia.
Russian failed to take the Mariupol on 2014 too.
Now the Hegemon is harassing Russian in Donetsk and Luhansk (murdering civilian and active leaders) as Motorola, Givi and lately Zakharchenko, and tenth of thousand innocent civilians, and Russia is unable to do anything about it.

Russia Is Dominated By Global Banks, Too
Many in the Liberty Movement have studied and are well aware of the central banking cabal and its stranglehold on the U.S. and Europe. But strangely, some people refuse to acknowledge the substantial possibility that global bankers are also in control of Russia and are playing both sides of the burgeoning economic war.
As the Ukrainian crisis festers and other dangers in the Pacific and the Mideast grow, an odd consensus among alternative analysts is taking hold — namely the belief that President Vladimir Putin and Russia represent some kind of opposition to globalization and the rule of corporate financiers. Perhaps moments in Putin’s rhetoric and the existence of media outlets like RT have seduced elements of the Liberty Movement into assuming that Russia is a “victim” in the grand schemes of Western oligarchy and that Russia is truly the “white knight”, the underdog willing to stand up against the New World Order. I’m sorry to say that nothing could be further from the truth.
Russia is just as much a tool of the global elite today as it was after the Bolshevik Revolution, and Vladimir Putin is just as much a socialist puppet as Barack Obama. Let’s start from the beginning of the rebirth of Russia as a regional federation in the 1990s after the fall of the Warsaw Pact.
Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader largely credited with the ultimate dismantling of the Soviet Union and the rise of the “new” Russia, has long been a proponent of the “New World Order” (his words) and centralized global government. In an address entitled “Perspectives On Global Change” to the students of Lafayette College in Easton, Penn., Gorbachev argued that such a solution was necessary to safeguard “freedom.”
http://alt-market.com/articles/2074-russia-is-dominated-by-global-banks-too
“[People think Putin is good.] I’m sorry to say that nothing could be further from the truth.”
You should be sorry for making such a tired, stupid argument. Having to again read the pretentious expression “nothing can be further from the truth” is alone enough to induce vomiting.
The Anglo-American Empire, led by bankers, dominates the world. One doesn’t simply oppose it. Could Putin do a better job? Maybe he can’t. Trump doesn’t even have the power to ban a stupid CNN provocateur from “the White House”. How much power could Putin really have? It is true that he doesn’t order the Western Oligarchy around. Your anti-Russia allies are doing a pump and dump op when they argue the Kremlin controls Rothschild agents in Russia. They know they’re setting expectations too high, just as you do. Part of your dumb stupid, british game, that fools no one anymore.
Putin’s as bad as Obama? What the hell? If Putin was as bad as Obama, he would be Obama. He would be this mush-brained trudeu, or Pence. John Mccain would be Vladimir Putin. Get it?
Just a tired, stupid argument. Maybe you could amuse us a little by saying Putin is Hitler’s nephew, meticulously taking revenge on the satanic Jewish blood mixers of Moscow. You’re a bore. Do you have to be a stupid bore?
By the way, Britain is the worst perpetrator of genocide ever. Ever.
Where in the history of the last 2000 years is there an example of such a conflict that was resolved without a victory on the battlefield? Maybe if Donbass capitulates, all the people flee to Russia and the land is abandoned to the Ukies, that would be a settlement. Of course, that will never happen.
Thus, the solution is war. Now it is a frozen war with several hundreds of innocents killed each year and many more armed men and women defending Donbass killed.
The timing of the final battles is in the hands of the U.S. and the nazis-oligarchs of Kiev. That is the problem.
Probably, as the entire hundreds of miles of contact zone where no heavy weapons are supposed to be stationed and used is encroached on and the safety of the cities and villages is destroyed, a Donbass counter must eventually be launched. That could be very costly if it isn’t directly a counter to a full assault by Kiev.
Likely, this is the last year of the current status. With a new President elected in Kiev in 2019, the final attempt at a resolution will be talked. Of course, Minsk 2 will never be accepted and acted upon by Kiev. Thus, only war can settle the matter.
The result of the election turnout shocked all parties. Even the Kremlin and Surkov, curator for Donbass, have not made a relevant statement. The impact of 80% turnout points to the will of the People to fight to the death for the Donbass. Putin cannot ignore that reality.
The deNazification of Ukraine (a requirement of Russia) can only occur when the Nazi battalions and Kiev authorities are destroyed. A flourishing nazi bastion in East Europe cannot continue. It must be destroyed.
Before permanent U.S. and NATO bases are set in Ukraine, the Kiev authority must be broken.
Cold winters, lack of bread, no pension payments, infrastructure crumbling all don’t seem to matter if Ukrainians suffer due to the war and corruption in Kiev. The nation’s wealth and resources have been robbed and raped. The emigration totals keeps rising each month. It is a debtor nation that will take 50 years to recover. And it is growing more psychotic each day with Banderism and Naziism.
For starters, an absolute pull back from the contact line and gray zone is mandatory.
Missiles can enforce such a demand. Simply destroy the tanks and artillery that is not 70 km back where they should be. There are plenty of them in the open and they should be destroyed. That merely is fulfilling the terms of the Minsk 2. UNSC and Russia have the right to enforce those terms Kiev agreed to.
Begin with that. If other military violations occur, destroy the violators.
It’s all permitted in the Minsk 2 agreement which the UNSC accepted as the Rule of Law for Ukraine to obey.
Larch, I agree with what you said, although with small addition. If Russians want to wait for Ukraine to collapse financially they’ll be waiting until “Hell freezes over”, because there are people with endless supply of Fiat money who want to keep the fiction of Ukraine alive.
Unfortunately, and I’ll go further than you, it’s way longer than the last 2000 years that problems like this had to be resolved by blood. Particularly when foreign interests are involved, and I am not talking about Russia here.
‘The solutions is war.’ Absolutely. Watching those crowds at Z’s funeral, did they look as though they wanted to return to the Ukraine in accordance with the Minsk agreements? That is a pure daydream. Ukraine is a totally corrupt failed state, the poorest country in eastern euorope, bar Moldova whose population are doing everything to leave the sinking ship. There is a demographic catastrophe unfolding before our eyes as Ukraine is simply bleeding people to neighbouring states. The population has fallen from 52 million in 1991 to 42 million today. Moreover the Ukie war against the Donbass is really a war against Russia. Putin is lucky to have the two republics as a buffer against the Azov batallion and the rest of the volunteer militias. How would Putin like these gentlemen on his border less than 100 km from Rostov-on-Don.
Enough of this Minsk nonsense, it is a dead letter and will remain so.
Uk blaming Russia for affecting Ukraine mercantile shipping today in sea of Azov…stresses need for international shipping access-ignoring 15 ships arrested by Ukraine-2 PTB are now on there way from Kiev to be crewed after final fitting out and testing…..gonna provoke something or other one wonders…maybe support further” terrorist ” sabotage action aganist Crimea perhaps.
If the war crimes such as those in the “white book” could be successfully prosecuted against Ulraine Government and RADA….and individuals..could bring it down and force Minsk to be back in operation? It might wake up europe too……how could tbis be done?

Yes, it should be destroyed, but nobody seems too interested in doing that. Certainly not “the West”. The sad truth is that the west’s attitude towards fascism/nazism is much more ambiguous than the Hollywood versions of history let us know. In the early stages of WW2, they had accepted the fact that Germany would rule Europe. Then they were extremely happy of course to see the USSR being bled almost to death, and then they were most unhappy about its astonishing comeback, and then they delayed their intervention long after the outcome of the war was clear to everyone, and only to prevent the Red Army from continuing all the way to Portugal. They US was busy grooming little nazis and fascist even while the corpse of nazi Germany was still warm under US military administration. The entire history of WW2 as told in the west is a disgusting fairy tale.
Did you see the latest vote on a resolution against the glorification of nazism? These images speak for themselves.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DsPX4kGXcAE1UNl.jpg
What they are really interested in destroying is all traces and monuments of the soviet era, as they did in Ukraine and are doing in Poland. If Russia ever falls to the liberal onslaught by installing another Gorbachev or Yeltsin character again, the next time around they will waste little time in breaking it up. And then I would not be surprised to see equivalent monument demolition projects, and even destruction of Soviet-era archives.
But definitely, don’t count on “the west” doing anything about denazifying the Ukraine. In fact, the essence and core of the EU is completely fascist By this I mean, it is shaping up as a system that fits perfectly the classic Dimitrov definition of fascism as “the government of the financial capital itself” https://cassad-eng.livejournal.com/2908.html
Isn’t that what the EU is all about? If not convinced, watch the following documentary and ask yourself the question “Does the EU fit the definition of “government of the financial capital itself?” It will be difficult, maybe impossible, to deny that it does. It fits the definition already, and it will fit it even more completely in the foreseeable future.
Ukraine is just another example of America’s (covert) embrace of neo-Nazism and fascism around the world. A historical example is Operation Paperclip in which the “Land of the Free” brought Nazi war criminals to become part of the US spy system.
This is analogous to America’s embrace of Islamicist jihadism around the world from Afghanistan to Libya to Syria and beyond.
In both cases, America will arm, finance, and weaponize these rabid political movements and regimes in order to target any nation that stands in the way of America’s New World Order.
Most disgustingly Orwellian is how the United States pathetically tries to masquerade as a champion of freedom, democracy, and human rights to disguise its malign behavior throughout the planet.
