By Max Musson:
With over 75 percent of the votes already counted, preliminary result show that 95.7% of voters in the Crimean referendum have answered ‘yes’ to the reunion of the autonomous republic with Russia as a constituent unit of the Russian Federation and less than 4% want the region to remain part of Ukraine.
The overall voter turnout in the referendum on the status of Crimea is 81.37%, according to the head of the Crimean parliament’s commission on the referendum, Mikhail Malyshev and the preliminary results of the popular vote were announced during a meeting in the center of Sevastopol today. It is believed that a large proportion of the Crimean Tartars took part in the referendum and also voted overwhelmingly in favour of a merger with Russia.
In Simferopol, the capital of the republic, at least 15,000 people gathered this evening to celebrate the referendum in the central Lenin square. Demonstrators, waving Russian and Crimean flags, were watching a live concert while waiting for the announcement of preliminary results of the voting.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is reported to have said that the citizens of the peninsula have been given an opportunity to freely express their will and exercise their right to self-determination, however US President Barack Obama has declared the referendum illegal and has refused to recognise the result.
From a nationalist perspective, while we instinctively sympathise with the wishes of Ukrainian nationalists to assert their nationhood and independence and believ it would be wrong for Russia to force their rule upon the Ukrainian people, we also call upon Ukrainian nationalists to acknowledge that by the same token it is wrong for the new Ukrainaian regime to attempt to force Ukrainain rule upon the ethnic Russian people of the Crimea and the majority ethnic Russian people of the eastern provinces of what is today Ukraine.
The only sensible solution is for western and central Ukraine to assert their independence and for them to make an accommodation with Vladimir Putin in which they cede the Crimea and the other majority ethnic Russian parts of eastern Ukraine to Russia. Following such an accommodation, Russia could then provide support for Svoboda and Pravy Sektor to help them establish an independent nationalist Ukraine on good terms with Russia and free from domination by the EU.

Sadly Max one must fear that the Ukranian nationalists have already missed their opportunity for true independence. I fully expect EU affiliation to be railroaded through by the “legitimate government of the Ukraine” and from that point on they will become a home for EU/Nato/Peacekeepers.
As major coal assets are located in those other ethnically Russian areas of the Ukraine they will not be allowed to avoid the asset strippers of the EU/US/IMF, under the smokescreen of emergency funding and the subsequent austerity(theft) measures needed to attain those loans.
This is where it will start to become dangerous for us all.

Max, this story goes back to Yanukovch’s 2 year attempt to join Ukraine up to the EU and IMF, a couple of tools used by the New York / City of London based Globalists. The conditions for a bail-out were so severe that Yanukovich either turned to Russia or Putin offered Yanukovich a better option, namely to pay off the bond-holders to the tune of 15 billion US. At that point the US State Department (another Globalist toy) turned to plan ‘B’, the agitation we all witnessed in the Maidan in Kiev, which was FINANCED entirely from a 5 billion US dollar State Department fund produced entirely to buy a place in Europe for Ukraine. The reasons for this bribe money to be offered for such a seemingly unviable financial move by the EU /US were one, so that NATO ( read the US ) could instal missile shields on the Ukraine / Russia border, and two, so that the IMF could loot Ukraine. But plan B wasn’t working, so snipers were used to shoot and kill policemen ( unarmed ) AND demonstrators, thereby giving the impression that the state was killing its own citizens. Even that only partly worked. Of course the controlled media in the US and its vassal state the UK went into overdrive to keep the sheeple convinced that Putin and Russia were evil and had to be stopped. The Crimean episode was a red herring. The present ‘interim’ leader of the Ukraine Government has also been totally bought, he is only talking to the IMF and Obama because he has been promised more money. This dog’s dinner is far from over, there are 9 million Ethnic Russian Ukrainians in the Eastern and Southern cities who like the Crimeans, do not want a bunch of cave-dwellers to run Ukraine. It is not clear exactly where this will all go, but of one thing you can be absolutely certain, Putin will not allow Ethnic Russians in these border areas to be politically castrated or attacked physically.
Another anomaly here, the so-called Ukrainian Nationalists now messing the country up have from time to time reminded us that they hate Russians and Jews ( which is fair enough ), but what are they doing right now ? Just installing the three richest Jewish oligarchs as leaders of the Eastern provinces. So don’t for one minute dream that the interim government in Kiev is remotely patriotic. The demonstators in the Maidan got
40 Euros a day to turn up and act tough.

What is the basis of the idea that Ukrainian Nationalists could have friendly relations with Putin? Have they ever expressed anything other than hate towards Putin.
Is this story accurate: “The ultra-right “Svoboda” (Liberty) party representative in the Ukrainian parliament warns that if Russia doesn’t tread carefully it will be dealing with a nuclear power.”

Nationalism in the Ukraine is of the sort that brings home the fact that Nationalism is so easily a force to create fratricidal war within the White race. It is used in that way. Nationalism is wrong. Racialism is right.
On that basis, the White racial interest for Ukrainians is at present best served by moving away from the result approved of by those who control “the West” and running, instead, towards the less devastating, and possibly not too bad at all, uncertain quantity that is Russia.

That’s pretty much what I have suggested isn’t it? For Ukrainians to seek good relations with Putin and cede Crimea and the other majority ethnic Russian eastern provinces to Russia.

Ukrainians may manage to wake up to the fact that Russia is more a friend than are those they look to for protection Max, but Svoboda and Pravy Sektor have burned their bridges and are unlikely even to express a wish that they had not. One may as well hold out hope that the Israeli government will realise they should live and let live with Palestinians. This will not happen and is a reality that must be faced.

What you say may be correct Jane, but the fact remains that logically the Ukrainian nationalists and the Russians should seek a mutually beneficial accommodation and face the West as allies in future. Such an outcome would be in both their interests and it simply remains for them to make this realisation and subordinate their emotions in their national/racial interests.

Good idea but almost impossible now as it is almost 100% certain that prime movers supporting the new interim Ukrainian government have been paid out of the massive amount that the US State Department earmarked to get Ukraine into the EU (and therefore also NATO). This whole saga was contrived by Washington and now is a very awkward situation. But the US has not given up yet, by a long way.

Kiev was the first capital of Russia. There is no racial, religious,or cultural difference between Russians and most Ukrainians. The only difference is linguistic and even then the languages are very similar, and the language border is very fuzzy with Ukrainian speaking exclaves deep in Russian territory and vice versa.
I did say “most” Ukrainians – in the far west of the Ukraine up against the Carpathians is a region which for many centuries was under the rule of Catholic powers, first Poland, then Austria, then (down to 1939) Poland again. So the inhabitants of that region, known as Galicia, became Catholics of the Slavonic Rite and developed a separate sense of national identity. It is there that Ukrainian nationalism began and has remained strongest. It is no surprise that when the Germans sought to capitalise on Ukrainian nationalism in WW2 by raising a division of Ukrainian soldiers they called it the “Galician Division” not the “Ukrainian Division”, nor it is any surprise that after the German defeat it was in that region that Ukrainian nationalist resistance fighters held out against the communists until the 1950s.
Galician Ukraine has a real, distinct, national identity and should be an independent country. The rest of the Ukraine and all of Belarus (whose separate identity has always been iffy) should be absorbed back into Greater Russia.
