Briefly on the topic of questions of why do I call the current regime the fascist junta; supposedly the elections had passed and there is a "lawfully elected" government there.
1. I have used the word "junta" to refer to this regime from the early days, pointing out both the illegal capture of power by the oligarchs, their fascist squads, and their american sponsors. No matter that Yanukovich was a piece of shit and a vegetable, but from the point of view of the law and of the bourgeois legal process he was a legal and legitimate president, who was removed from power in violation of all legal procedures. So, the things that happened since February 21 in Ukraine have nothing to do with the law and legality. And so all of the appeals to the law from Poroshenko, Yatsenyuk, and Turchinov are laughable.
2. The extraordinary president and parliament elections were organized under the conditions of terror and persecution of the dissidents who disagreed with the existing regime, which included the MPs from the Party of Regions and the Communist Party of Ukraine. The persecutions continues during the so-called "elections", where Poroshenko was appointed (under the conditions of mass falsifications and overstatement of turnout, so that the elections would happen in one phase, as required by the USA). This also has to do with the Rada elections, where the candidates were beaten up, threatened with murder, and the terror against those who disagree with the fascist regime in Kiev was organized on the territories of the South-East.
3. And the most important thing: I didn't recognize, I don't recognize, and I'm not going to recognize the legality and the legitimacy of the fascist regime in Kiev. Fascism must be destroyed, even if it usurped the state institutions and the security organs. It doesn't matter if a fascist runs on the streets, beats up people and police officers, or if he sits in an expensive office of
"golden loafs" signing orders that lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of people - he is still a fascist. As it was written back in May, the current events in Ukraine are in direct correspondence
http://cassad-eng.livejournal.com/2908.html with the famous definition by Georgy Dimitrov, when a direct terrorist dictatorship of major capital is reinforced by the power of fascist squads, which are by now openly integrated into the power hierarchy. We may argue for a while, pointing out that the Ukrainian fascists are an evil parody of German nazis, we may point to cartoon characters like Lyashko or Klitschko, but the essence of this regime, which is guilty of deaths of tens of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians is obvious.
So, regardless of what is said and what will be said in Moscow and in Kiev, I called and I'm going to call this fascist regime in Kiev the way it deserves. Personally, I always liked the term fascist junta, which is what I call the current monstrosity in Kiev since February of 2014. Some argue with this, saying that the fascist features of this regime are clear, but that the junta is not a very precise word, saying that all of this has to do with "black colonels" or the "latin-american military coups". In the Russian dictionary of foreign words there is a definition of junta that fits quite well: a group of conspirators who illegally captured power and rule by dictatorial methods.
Naturally, synonyms like Clique or Camarilla are offered there, which some may consider more precise for defining the Kiev regime, but I personally like the term fascist junta, because this term reflects both the fascist nature of the existing regime and also the fact of the illegal capture of power by the way of a coup.
The meanings of various terms is not something that is rigidly set in time; they may be augmented, so I don't rule out that the term "Ukrainian junta" may get its line in the definition of "junta" at least in some vocabularies. By the way, if you put the Russian word "хунта" into a search engine, the majority of links on the page will be associated with precisely the Ukraine.
