any means, including force. This is all not new. We know that it is not the fault of these hundreds of thousands of people who are standing there today, because charismatic churches, such as the church of Moon, bring millions of people to the square, and they obey one wave of the hand. People are not to blame, the terrible hand that controls these people is to blame. It didn't work out! Their plans, although they caught us by surprise, failed. The most important thing is that the power in
Ukraine has not fallen, in any case, we still have a President acting under the Constitution, we have an absolutely full–fledged Prime Minister. We have half of Ukraine with our government! Today it is already obvious that the world will not recognize an impostor under any circumstances. And this is also our victory! And most importantly. We missed a big blow. We thought we were playing by fair rules, but we got up, we have already risen to our full height. We are together, and we are invincible! Therefore, the main conclusion from this difficult week is: in order to bring our victory to a legitimate result, in order to defend our choice, we must be together, we must be strong, we must be unshakable! We must say firmly and clearly: we did not vote for an independent, independent, democratic, prosperous Ukraine in '91 in order to tear it to pieces today. We are for a united Ukraine! We are for a democratic and prosperous Ukraine! But don't try our patience. We have a worthy response to any attack, up to the most extreme measures. And I want to remind the hotheads under the orange banners: from Kharkiv to Kyiv – 480 kilometers, and to the border with Russia – 40! We want to live in a state where everyone is protected. His rights, his culture, his language, his history, his traditions and his customs are protected. We understand that the East has a very serious difference from Galicia, we do not impose our way of life on Galicia, but we will never allow Galicia to teach us how to live! We must preserve the main spiritual core that unites us, our faith. We will not accept the lifestyle imposed on us, we will not accept other people's symbols, our symbol is Orthodoxy! What should we do? We must once again resolutely and firmly declare that we will never, under any circumstances, recognize a self-crowned President. Viktor Fedorovich will be the president, having gone through all the legal procedures! And we have enough patience to reach the end! Dear friends! We want to live in peace, work, create, create, but a terrible, orange threat is hanging over our country, over our future. Therefore, I once again urge everyone to be steadfast, stand tall and defend our choice. Get up, the country is huge, Get up for a mortal fight, With the nashist power of darkness, With the orange plague! God and the Truth are with us!

Sumy region was the first to ascend to the podium. From the city council, I think. "A crowd of "Orangemens" blocked the city council building. They don't even miss an ambulance. They demand that we recognize the self-styled
Messiah. After the refusal, we are called enemies of the people. We will not give up",- that was the young man's words. A metallurgist from Alchevsk took the stage. "Friends, I just arrived from Kyiv. Terrible things are happening there. They won't stop at anything at all. It seems to me that all freedoms are over. They want power, and we are a temporary obstacle for them. We need to do something." I remember one of the deputies who, paraphrasing the famous expression of Dzerzhinsky, said that the lack of criminal records of Yushchenko and his entourage was not their merit, but an indicator of the poor work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Representatives of the Crimean Autonomy said that they had chosen Yanukovych as president and would not allow someone in Kyiv to replay everything. "Residents of Crimea, three million Tatars, we all support Donbass as one person. There are no different nationalities, there are honest and dishonest people. We are honest, we are with Yanukovych, with the south-eastern region," said a representative of the Muslim community of Crimea. But it was just emotions so far… Everyone understood that Kushnarev and Kolesnikov would say the main words...

is clear that this has become impossible in principle. We are obliged to protect the interests of our voters. And if we are not allowed to protect our choice, we are ready to take extreme measures. In this case, we propose: "'to express distrust to all the highest state authorities who have violated the law. Create a new southeastern
Ukrainian state in the form of a federal republic. Kharkiv will become the capital of the new state, thus the first capital of the independent Ukrainian republic will be restored."' In order to protect ourselves from illegal actions aimed at our fellow governors, in accordance with the Law of Ukraine on local self-government, we no longer delegate powers to regional administrations, but on its basis create regional executive committees. To the head of the Central Election Commission, Sergey Kivalov, we say thank you from Donbass and want to express our support. We know how he was pressured, and what his principled position cost him. Economic prosperity and stability of the new state will ensure its high industrial potential and membership in the CES. We also assure the world community that the new State entity will have the most democratic Constitution in the world.

the creation of South-Eastern autonomy. It was decided to create an
Interregional Council of Local Self-government bodies of Ukrainian regions. The place of work of this coordinating council, as well as the executive directorate, was determined by Kharkiv, which was supposed to be the capital of the South-Eastern Ukrainian Autonomous Republic. In Luhansk and Donetsk regions, it was decided to hold a referendum in the first half of December 2004 on the issue of acquiring the status of independent republics within the Ukrainian Federation. In addition, the Luhansk and Donetsk regional councils, following the Kharkiv one, announced the reassignment of the police and other state structures to themselves and the termination of transfers of money to the state budget.

Decisive actions of the head of the Kharkiv Oblast Yevgeny Kushnarev played a decisive role in the organization of the Congress.
