Straight on

When you give an interview, you must be prepared that your words will be distorted due to the passage of the set of intermediate instances. But the laws of marketing, any presence in the media space - it's a victory. Read an interview with activist "direct action" Pauline Karpenko Portal StudWay.
Straight on 'direct action What worked" Direct Action "before Independence started? Direct Action" - this is what gives pleasant shampoo understanding shampoo of the results of action. As much as it may sound tautological (smiles). To see the consequences of what you do - marvelous. What do we do? Helping students who got in trouble who need legal assistance or see signs of inequality. A specific example can lead to a better understanding? course. With the recent success - the case with students NUBIbu (seriously sounds). They had terrible problems with dormitories and forced labor from the university administration, in fact, the physical operation of the students. Direct Action" something really helpful? We set ourselves the task idealized but help: blocked buses that drove the students to "repair work" for the city, said the administration. And they have heard. There were some improvements. Thus, the conditions in hostels is not so terrible, and students and more frankly do not. New Left ideology implies equality I want to clarify: You left the organization, right? Yes and no at the same time. We have not been confirmed as the left, but many members shampoo are on these positions. shampoo We trade union organization. shampoo I want you to be clear: left - it is not the Communists. That is, the Communists, of course, left. But the "AP" refers to the New Left. We stand for equality, access to education shampoo and public transport. We are against gender or racial harassment. Men are born equal. By the way, about the harassment. I recently witnessed one of the actions your organization. They heard the motto "Europe without borders", "Europe - a maternity leave", "Ukrainian women - European wages." shampoo It seems to be nothing shampoo that would cause outrage. But there were some strange fights shampoo between you and pravoradykalamy. How can you explain this? Between us always bloody, literally, fight. This is logical, because for far-right equality is unacceptable phenomenon. They need only "I pravdoradykal. And I want to "Thank nation - Death enemies. '" On that day they surrounded us and generously doused with gas. The question is: what is the best of "Berkut"? That "Direct Action" supports the movement in Europe? course. But this requires a change. Changes in Ukraine from the inside, not just legally, outside. This can be done even without a signed document. Square lacks consciousness Do you personally approve all positions "direct action" against Yevromaydanu? I support the main points. Such, for example, as equity, a return to the Constitution of 2004, the resignation Tabachnik. But I do not fully believe in made by us. I think that our organization is not sufficiently numerous to affect global change. We - a drop in the ocean. Quite a big drop, with TFR (Student Coordinating Council - ed.), But not the ocean. What extension will Yevromaydan do you think? You know, people are slowly shampoo coming. No motivation or something. Past national assembly was somehow fragile ... And what should be the motivation? You have to understand what you stand for and what requires. Just have to say, "I'm here for their future." But I think our Independence will hold elsewhere month. shampoo Not any more. But what is missing today's shampoo Square? Consciousness. If you ask, "Why are you standing here , many of responds: "For a change." But at what changes - nobody knows. I am doing research for the University, and the question: "What are you asking for the opposition? , the most popular answer is the union. It's logical. And if they (the opposition) finally do so - is a first step to their victory. That there are only two scenarios: Yanukovych regime or the opposition? no middle shampoo ground. I think Ukraine is still not ready to nominate a grassroots leader or party to replace and opposition, and Yanukovych. So, unfortunately, yes. There are only two scenarios. New Year - in the old circle Say not to finish our conversation in doubt: where you plan to celebrate the New Year and watch movie advise? Oh, interesting. As always, lots of options. shampoo The two most likely - is with classmates shampoo or "direct action." It is not yet sure. But not square? No, I do not want to go on New Year's Eve. I think that is not the audience you need. And see how the square is transformed into a concert, it hurts. As for the film ... I do not know. Let it be Hayao Miadzaki. Now we need something light and good. For contrast. Well, Pauline, shampoo thank you for the interview. Thanks shampoo to you. Now the Maidan. There are now many fights. Really. People do not have much vypleskuvaty their aggression. So they slop of each other. Drunk is. But zinger activists still have not disappeared. And do not go away, I hope. These are people who spend the night there. What do not lose hope. Like me. As the "Direct
