TL;DR

This document provides a 1990 report on the political instability and rising separatist sentiment in Lugansk, Ukraine. It highlights the ideological conflict between local Soviet authorities and democratic movements during the final years of the USSR.

This document is a translation of an article by S. Kiselev, a special correspondent for Literaturnaya Gazeta, dated October 31, 1990, regarding the political climate in Lugansk, Ukrainian SSR. The report describes a city divided by competing political factions, including the conservative Oblast Party Committee, the City Soviet, and the democratic bloc. The author notes a general atmosphere of tension, characterized by labor unrest, economic anxiety regarding the transition to a market economy, and ideological conflicts between the Communist Party (CPSU) and movements such as Rukh. The text highlights a growing sentiment among some local figures, such as V. Cheker of the Lugansk Agricultural Institute, who advocate for the restoration of the Donetsk-Krivorog Soviet Republic or autonomy within the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR). The author uses the metaphor of a UFO to describe the sudden, inexplicable emergence of these ideas of autonomy, which spread rapidly through the population. The document concludes with the perspective of Yu. Kozovskiy, a leader in the local Rukh organization, regarding the potential for autonomy within the RSFSR framework.

WELL, HOW CAN THIS BE PUT, NOT QUITE RUMORS, NOT EVEN CONVERSATIONS, BUT SOMETHING SOMEWHAT TELEPATHIC, A KIND OF TRANSMISSION OF IDEAS OVER A DISTANCE. WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE IDEAS WERE BEING TRANSMITTED FROM, BUT THEIR GIST SOON BEGAN TO BE KNOWN RATHER WIDELY: AUTONOMY.
