On the Internet, the expression "country 404" is increasingly flickering. What does it mean? Why is the state encoded by numbers incomprehensible to many? Why say that Ukraine is the Country of 404? Is it such a strange humor or a reflection of reality? How do the Ukrainians themselves - residents of this state entity? Let's think together. It is desirable that all this unfortunate country join our reasoning.
404 - what does it mean?
Subnetted combination of web users sometimes see on their screens. If you delve into the directories, we find out: the 404 error means that the link leads to a page or resource that does not exist. That is, this data previously existed, but was deleted from the Web by the author or other users. Sometimes along with a combination of numbers they write “not found”. The search engine cannot display the requested page, site, image or other information. In fact, this does not mean that they are not at all. Some pages are encrypted to restrict access to them. Search robots sometimes punish dishonest site owners by prohibiting users from accessing them. The Internet is a serious and complex organism. It has many nuances that are incomprehensible to a layman. We see the inscription “404 error” and understand: we have to look for another way to get the information of interest. In principle, this will be enough to understand the terminology. Let's move on to Ukraine.
Geopolitical background
Do you remember when this state began to be widely discussed in the world? Political scientists believe that throughout the years of independence, the collective West did not take its eyes off its territory. Representatives of almost all intelligence services in the world worked in Ukraine. The fact is that geographically it is almost the center of Europe. More importantly, the republic is located between the eternal rivals: Russia and part of the West - the European Union. This is the most important strategic point, for the influence on which there is an ongoing struggle. Almost all the years of independence, the Ukrainian public tried to set up against the Russian Federation, despite very close family and friendly ties. The purpose of this operation is simple only at first glance. In fact, the collective West needs to tear Ukraine away from Russia in order to create, as they say today, a sanitary cordon between the Russian Federation and Europe. The economic situation in the world is such that not everyone can live normally. Everything is elementary. Overproduction of goods has created two mutually exclusive problems:
- resources are spent too quickly;
- all markets have already been developed.
To overcome the crisis, it is necessary to redistribute buyers, according to the West. That is, to select the market from the one who mastered it. Hence the gas wars, the desire to join new countries to the EU, the initiation of "color revolutions" and even the creation and growth of ISIS (banned in the Russian Federation). This is a battle for the redistribution of markets between global players. But we have gone far from finding out: country 404 - what does this mean and how is it connected with Ukraine. Let's get back to the point.
Highlights since 2013
We remind the reader what happened before Ukraine was called the "404 country." We will state important points in chronological order:
- Autumn 2013 - the beginning of the Maidan, people opposed the current regime.
- Winter 2014 - an attempt was made to resolve the situation with the assistance of the foreign ministers of the European powers.
- February of the same year - President Yanukovych left the country with the chairman of the government and the head of the Verkhovna Rada.
- Immediately - Turchinov was entrusted with the duties of all three main positions in Ukraine.
Further, Crimea, the name of its own autonomy within the state, voted to withdraw from its composition and asked to go to Russia. In the Donbass, hostilities were launched against the "separatists". All these events influenced the attitude towards Ukraine. How? Let's go further.
Why is Ukraine called the "country 404"?
If you think about the above events, you will understand: an unconstitutional change of power has taken place in Ukraine. The president fled, and his power was seized by a man who does not have any rights to it. There is no law in the state that allows one or the other to do so. We will not go deeper, and so it is clear that the country has become different. This is not the state that the world knew before February 2014. From that moment on, it has illegal power. This can be justified, as Ukrainians do, but the truth of those who argue that the change of power was not based on legislation should be recognized. And if Turchinov, and then Poroshenko, tried to resume the work of the state machine, then no one would call this entity “country 404”. What this means will be clearer if one explores another definition.
What is a state?
Let's digress from poor Ukraine. The state is called the superstructure over society, which is created to manage the processes in it with the goal of organizing people's lives. If it is simpler, then the system of various institutions (government, legislative and judicial systems) works for citizens. They have one goal - to make people feel comfortable and comfortable living. For this, laws are written, programs are adopted and implemented, and so on. Each state body performs its function. The center (president, government, legislator) controls and regulates them. The mechanism is described simplistically and schematically, but this is enough to understand: in Ukraine no one does anything like this. And not because people do not want to work. They have no right to make and implement decisions. They lost it as a result of the illegal coup.
What is going on in Ukraine?
Political scientists from this country are trying to convince the public that they have everything in order. The state is working, doing everything possible for citizens. However, some of their decisions cause a strange feeling. Tell me, why rename settlements in a republic that does not have money? Have you ever wondered how much it costs? And most importantly, why are citizens of Ukraine? Sorry, they have not repaired the sewers since the collapse of the Union. And the authorities believe that it is more important to brand “separatists” and get rid of the Soviet legacy. Nobody deals with citizens' problems. Rather, Ukrainians will confirm that the authorities are working in the field. You can go to the village or city council, to the district administration with your own misfortune. They will try to help, as far as possible. But local authorities have no money. That is, people with their problems are left to their own devices. As you wish, so survive. So it turns out that Country 404 is Ukraine. People cannot find the support of the state, to which they have every right.
About weapons and war
They did not specifically touch on this painful topic, which made the main contribution to the destruction of the state. This basic structure has, so to speak, exclusive rights. No one except the state can use violence with impunity. What do we see in Ukraine? Inexplicable, unrecognized or semi-legal armed groups shoot, kill, intimidate citizens. This is not the invention of propagandists. On the Internet, so many materials published by the Ukrainians themselves have accumulated over two years, which is impossible to deny the existence of battalions. That is, the state transferred part of its right to violence to the masses. And this is an important sign of his absence. It can be assumed that certain organizations are entitled to use weapons. But this must be done by law. But in Ukraine there are no documents confirming that the government or the Verkhovna Rada were officially allowed to shoot the battalions.
Emotional component
Ukrainians will certainly confirm: it hurts when they say “not found” or “404” about your country. And many supporters of the inhabitants of Donbass use these expressions in order to hurt and hurt an opponent. Probably not worth it. However, it should be recognized, distracted from emotions, that the state in Ukraine is completely destroyed. And it happened from above. There are still signs of power in villages and cities, but in the center they are almost completely absent. You know, people fight in verbal battles, insult and offend former friends in order to prove their case. Think, why waste your energy on this nonsense? Ukraine is a large European state. If real chaos begins in it, all the neighbors will suffer. It is necessary for the people not to be mad at opponents, but to think how to prevent a catastrophe. It happens: the state is destroyed, it must be recreated. And no one, except the inhabitants of this territory, can cope with this task.
