Ukrainian society, which every time loses hope after another Maidan, is in a more bitter state than the Russian, which did not have to be charmed and deceived in its choice.

This opinion was expressed by the famous Russian journalist Leonid Parfenov in an interview with "Apostrophe".

"Here you once in 10 years, go out to the Maidan, then plunge into the same life. And then you live in hope. In this sense, the Ukrainian situation is even worse in something, because, first, there were more hopes, and this is the worst - deceived hopes. Secondly, people clearly understand what is being done, and periodically reach the point that everything, so it's impossible to live. And then you start to live like this again? Here is the main question. Why then do not you ask, why is your elite so irresponsible? Why do not you then demand from the authorities every day what you so brightly, harshly and terribly like? "- said Parfyonov.

According to him, in Ukraine the society, despite its ability to overthrow the authorities, for some reason is unable then to engage in everyday creative work.

"We, Russians and Ukrainians, are very weak in this work on the mistakes. Something like this happened to us, again we brought everything to the end, and we lacked self-discipline, exactingness, something else, we could not organize ourselves so much, not to bring the matter up to the very edge of the crisis, "the journalist added..

At the same time, he stressed that he does not intend to teach Ukraine and Ukrainians, but only says that he catches his eye.

"And there can not be any prescriptions about how to fix them. This is your business, it's your destiny, "Parfenov said..
