This element can not be subdued, it can only be headed and directed. And the global result for the Ukrainian statehood will depend on who will be targeted by this force.

People can not long wear sharp emotions inside themselves, to preserve the health of the psyche, these emotions need to be spilled out. And if you "suggest" people the "right" object for hatred - most unconsciously will turn on and direct their energy against the appointed enemy.

Today we see how the Kremlin is trying to use the energy of hatred of Ukrainians in its own interests and redirect it from itself to the Ukrainian government and into society. If it turns out to make Ukrainians hate each other - Ukraine will collapse. First, morally, and then physically.

Each of us, Kremlin technologists through the media, controlled by Ukrainian politicians, Internet bots and "useful idiots" are trying to inspire a few key points.

"Internal enemy is worse than external". History knows a very good example of such an approach - the calls of the Bolsheviks to soldiers to turn bayonets against their own state and turn the imperialist war into a civil war. The result is years of chaos, millions of people killed and tortured, poverty and hunger.

The German side maximally promoted the Bolsheviks in their corrupting activities in the same way as today the Kremlin promotes in this Ukrainian "patriots". For Moscow, the transformation of our war of independence into civil war is the ideal way to destroy Ukraine.

In addition, they expect that the principle "enemy of my enemy is my friend" will work, and many will prefer to go to an alliance with Russia, just to get rid of the power of the "internal enemy".

"The Kiev authorities are guilty of the war, who profit from it". But in history there are no examples when the government would start a war on its territory with the goal of enriching.

The most effective enrichment is the production of goods, services and trade, without barriers and borders. If you recall how much property is squeezed out of the Donbas by those who are close to the authorities today, then only an absolutely unrelated person can believe in such a version.

For the Kremlin, the introduction of such a thesis in the minds of Ukrainians will allow to shift the blame for aggression from themselves to Ukrainian politicians, and in the future - to create conditions for painless and rapid integration of Ukraine into the Russian space.

"Cops" - the enemies of the people, and the SBU - traitors and bribe-takers ". The two pillars of power on which the state holds are the main factor that does not allow the Kremlin to blow us up from within. They - represent the state power and its power.

If it turns out to set up citizens against power structures and delegitimize them - this will mean the actual performance of Ukrainians against their own state and its institutions. And further - a complete gap between the state and society, the collapse of statehood and the destruction of Ukraine.

"Separatists are more honest, because they are sincere". By this thesis we are trying to show that there are things in which separatists are better than their own power.

The last special operation, conducted by Alexander Khodakovskiy, showed that to increase the degree of hatred, suspicion and intolerance inside the Ukrainian society, such tools as accusations of representatives of the state in treachery, hypocrisy and lies.

Now we should expect a shaft of misinformation against Ukrainian politicians, military, law enforcement, volunteers and volunteers, that is, those who are at the forefront of the struggle and are the leading force in the society.

"It is possible to overthrow power only by force". This is a key and eternal thesis that will be introduced into our consciousness no matter what people and political forces are in power.

Even if absolutely different people come to the next election - the Kremlin's actions will not change. Only "reasons" are changed, according to which people must take up arms and overthrow the authorities.

Moreover, pro-Russian politicians and populists will be much more comfortable to implement the Kremlin's plans. It will be much easier to raise the Maidan against them than against today's power, which is not ideal, is often mistaken, but, nevertheless, studies and slowly moves Ukraine forward.

Thus, introducing several key theses in our minds, Kremlin technologists gradually turn the vector of hatred of Ukrainians towards their own state and authorities.

We can observe this every 2-3 weeks in the form of special information operations that "blow up" society. And during each of them one of the above theses becomes key.

The problem is that no one person, no society is able to ignore such attacks: we are forced to distract ourselves from the external enemy and switch to the search for internal - to conduct investigations, discuss the outbursts in the media and social networks, emotionally react and direct their hatred inside society.

The only recipe for counteraction, which can be given in this case - being aware of the principles, laws and goals of information operations, to approach the assessment of the situation technologically and emotionlessly.

We have a goal, there are tasks, there is a vision of the result that we want to achieve. And no special operations of the enemy should not distract us from the chosen path.
