“There are a lot of smart people in our country, but there also are certain discrepancies in so-called Ukrainian mentality, which do not depend on the will of the country’s top leadership, since most of the ordinary people in fact do not want, can not and are not capable of doing anything. In everyday life people very often do things forbidden by faith, morality and law. Neither the state nor its leadership has any control over it. Ukraine is destined to reach the bifurcation point and pass the point of catharsis after which we will all realize that there is no other way but to roll up our sleeves, start working and, most importantly, accomplish something practical, not in word but in deed.”
