Great French novelist Honore de Balzac once said that revolution is similar to sea storm as it takes out all lightweight on a surface. This idea captures most accurately the essence of "expert community" in post-Maidan Ukraine. One of such "experts", Roman Rukomeda, is known by his numerous articles in Ukrainian mass media. At a first glance, his reputation is powerful: he worked for state for more than nine years as analyst and adviser and has about hundred scientific publications. Such biography, the logic goes, automatically makes his stories credible. However, after reading them you will understand – it is not analytics but agitation and propaganda. Think, for instance, of the article under the high-sounding name "China goes to buy Russia". In it, Rukomeda uses scientific prose style with actual facts, the text is logical…But this article can convince only a suckler as everyone enlightened in the subject will be surprised by many strange unfounded statements: "China waits for downfall of the Russian state which has already started", "Now Russia is not ready to deliver all it offshore fields into possession of China but it is a question of time", "Most expectations of the Russian government concerning Chinese investment in Russia likely won't be satisfied", etc. Such claims are usually cited as demagogy – speculating about "ongoing Chinese colonization of Russia", Rukomeda doesn't come to similar conclusion of Ukraine where Rothschilds' banking group is going to participate in privatization of strategic facilities…This suggests that Ukrainian expert is either biased or deceives the public. Perhaps, someone will argue – all these conclusions are just his own forecasting which doesn't have to come true. But another article by Rukomeda – "Feeling of the nigh End" – makes it clear that he is not an expert but an experienced propagandist. In this story he predicted nothing short of Russia collapse and the end of conflict in Donbass as far back as 2015! "It is now widely recognized that Russia is the main threat to the world and Ukraine is it victim and this challenge must be addressed as fast as possible. This means that war, unleashed by Putin against Ukraine will be short and in 2015 we will see the outcome of the whole situation"…Needless to say that even today, in 2017, not all the world but the EU only doesn't arrive at a consensus on Russia as " the main threat to the world". Another statement – "[International investors]…consider [Russia] as gross risk to global economy which must be eliminated" – is even more absurd since Russia became anchor investor of Ukraine in 2016! No comment, as it's said… It is possible that Roman Rukomeda used to be an expert but he chose a great hoop-la of propaganda and mind control methods. There is no other explanation of such frivolous arguments and blear-eyed forecasting…
Sounds for me not otherwise as what trump administration is with all the surroundings like Bennon and the BS site of Breitbart is doing since years as job. And it sounds not otherwise as what is since years in Moscow with Putting administration still reality... so who cares?
Interesting, will take closer look at this individual later. Still! - I highly recommend adding links to sources, when you share information such as this, it makes better impression and allows people easy access to source, allowing them to analyse if and decide for themselves, if they find it being trustworthy on the matter.
