Исходное письмо европейских интеллектуалов о Майдане
>«Открытое письмо о будущем Украины», подписанное группой западных ученых и дипломатов, является отвратительным примером защиты происходящих ныне в Украине протестов правых, поддерживаемых Вашингтоном и Евросоюзом. В нем повторяется избитая ложь, которая транслируется обществу на протяжении почти двадцати пяти лет империалистической политики в Восточной Европе, которая началась после распада Советского Союза в 1991-м. Вновь повторяется всё та же ложь о том, что политика США и ЕС движима исключительно бескорыстной любовью к демократии и правам человека.

By Various Signatories
BRUSSELS - The future of Ukraine depends most of all on Ukrainians themselves.
They defended their democracy and their future 10 years ago, during the Orange Revolution, and they are standing up for those values again today.
As Europeans grow disenchanted with the idea of a common Europe, people in Ukraine are fighting for that idea and for their country's place in Europe.
Defending Ukraine from the authoritarian temptations of its corrupt leaders is in the interests of the democratic world.
We cannot afford to turn our back on Ukraine.
The new authoritarians in Kiev should know that there will be a high price to pay for their repressive policies and for abandoning the European aspirations of the people.
It is not too late for us to change things for the better and prevent Ukraine from becoming a dictatorship.
Passivity in the face of the authoritarian turn in Ukraine and the country's reintegration into a newly expanding Russian imperial sphere of interests pose a threat to the European Union’s integrity.
It is a threat not just to the moral integrity of the Union, but possibly to its internal institutional integrity as well.
Alongside the diplomatic and economic measures taken by individual states and the entire EU, independent democratic initiatives should make efforts to defend victims of repression, support civil society and strengthen independent media.
The quality of any democracy depends to a great extent on what its citizens know about their country and the world.
In Ukraine, the picture of the world is shaped by the authorities, who control most of the mass media, and Russian television channels faithful to Russian President Vldimir Putin.
For the sake of democracy, we must support and strengthen independent and pluralistic media in Ukraine.
We must help strengthen civil society, especially the new initiatives which have arisen around the Maidan.
No matter what the authorities say, the people fighting to keep their country's future open are not “foreign agents” - the only ones deserving of that name are those pursuing a policy of mass repression to quash Ukraine's hopes of becoming a European democracy.

Хорошо его товарищ троцкист приложил -"постмодернистский шарлатан".
Мне он тоже всегда казался демагогом и какой-то гнилой фигурой.
