This betrayal of Ukraine's ongoing revolution, predicted by an article in Dzerkalo Tyzhnia,
Українське керівництво готує для Путіна сценарій перемир'я http://dt.ua/POLITICS/ukrayinske-kerivnictvo-gotuye-dlya-putina-scenariy-peremir-ya-139694_.html
would replay the dark episodes of Ukrainian history, when otamanchyky fight for the hetman bulava and run to the northern tsar to get his blessing and support.
There could be some truth in the prediction, and some people will see it as a self-fulfilling prophecy, worth submitting to. But maybe the intention of DzT was to publish a warning in the form of a self-denying prophecy, whose role is to avert the unfolding evil and its catastrophic consequences.
On the place of self-denying prophecies in public discourse, I would like to quote from an address given Sept. 17, 2002, at morning
prayers at Harvard University's Memorial Church in Cambridge, Mass by Lawrence H. Summers, first Jewish president of Harvard University. Fearing a rise in anti-Semitism he concluded his prayer with these words:

--I
would like nothing more than to be wrong. It is my greatest hope and prayer
that the idea of a rise of anti-Semitism proves to be a self-denying prophecy
-- a prediction that carries the seeds of its own falsification. But this
depends on all of us."
The KGB were masters at creeping compromises - if the otamanchyky succumb to this tactic, the victory of the Maidan will be lost.
