Jay, that article was published well over a year ago, and I'm that I saw it posted on here at some earlier time.

To state the obvious--the article was relevant then-- as it is now.Some are worth re-reading with the benefit of hindsight- especially so when observations of that time have proven to be correct.
I am not aware of it being previously posted.

Even after considerable evidence has been documented( yes-here in many links)-there are still many that seem stuck in views long discredited . Some who are ambivelent-- still dont understand what has taken place-and why.
This article is another in the "must"read category/
Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper part-owned by Kremlin critic Alexander Lebedev, on February 24 published an article on an alleged Kremlin policy paper it said had come into its possession. The policy paper, which the Novaya Gazeta said was written and circulating within the Kremlin for perhaps more than two weeks before the ouster of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, details a response plan for Russia in the event of Yanukovych’s fall. As Novya Gazeta points out, the plan outlined bears a striking resemblance to the actions undertaken by Russia after Yanukovych left power.

Novaya Gazeta’s ‘Kremlin Papers’ article: Full text in English

The document we are publishing is interesting due to the fact that at the early stages of the Ukrainian political crisis - that is, before Yanukovych fled from Kyiv and the “Bandera Junta” came to power – [it appears] a rationale, as well as the political and PR logistics of Russia’s interference in Ukrainian affairs and the annexation of Crimea and Ukraine’s eastern regions had [already] been planned in detail, step by step. Although the actual scenario of Ukrainian drama has changed things a bit, this draft plan is still closely in line with the subsequent actions by Russia’s government, which is striking.

More evidence that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was a long held intention- and the circumstances opportunistic.


How Russia has prepared for aggression against Ukraine for 10 years. Instruments of hybrid war: diplomacy, media and culture

The events of 2014-2015 proved that this view is widely supported throughout Russian society. Even in January 2016, according to the results of opinion polls, 64% of Russians supported the aggression against Ukraine.
In the minds of the Kremlin leadership and much of the population, Russia is surrounded by enemies who want to capture Russian natural resources. The leading role in this “global conspiracy” is played by the West, led by the US. In order to survive, the Russian leadership believes in the absolute nessesity to regain control over the lost territories of the USSR and the “socialist camp”. The key objective is to recapture Ukraine, which should dramatically increase Russia’s demographic, political, economic, military and other resources. In the irrational worldview of the “Kremlin dreamers”, restoring control over Kyiv – “the mother of all cities”, capital and ancestral home of Eastern Slavic Orthodoxy – is a vital interest of Russia.

Actually this probably is not irrational . . . even as it is illegal under international law and standards.

Not that this is exactly new news-- but it is interesting matter of record when the Russian miliatry involvement is confirmed  by the same people who deny it!!

Militant's Minsk envoy openly admits Russia invaded Donbas

"In an interview with TV channel Luhansk 24, Vladislav Deinego, ‘Luhansk People's Republic's' official envoy to the Minsk talks, openly declared that Russia is fighting on the side of ‘LPR' militants. His statement fully negates testimonies by so-called ‘witnesses' who claim that a ‘civil war' is raging in Ukraine. On the one side, some people are trying to cover up for the aggressor state (Russia), while here on television, Mr. Deinego publicly states that Russia is actively participating in the war and supporting the separatist ‘state of Luhansk'," Kazansky wrote in the article for Euromaidan Press.

http://uatoday.tv/politics/suddenly-militant-s-minsk-envoy-openly-admits-russia-invaded-donbas-806554.html

So, Jay, look at this, from the article you posted:

Kazansky explained: "In response to the TV host's statement that Ukrainian radicals could ‘destroy the ‘LPR' just as local radicals in Libya destroyed Gaddafi, Deinego replied that Russia has always come to the rescue of the ‘LPR' in times of need, has saved the puppet state many times from destruction, and will deploy its troops in Luhansk region in future if hostilities between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the separatists escalate."

Do you really think that, Vladislav Deinego, ‘Luhansk People's Republic's' official envoy to the Minsk, referred to the entity he is representing as a puppet state?  In reality, what we have here, is a Ukrainian news source reporting on a reporter from the "EuroMaidan Press" (sounds impartial and reliable), reporting on a TV interview that reported what Deinego apparently said.  So what is that, four times removed from the source?  This is a game of telephone....

When will you stop using the reliably unreliable Ukrainian press for your "facts"?  When you do, your arguments will have a lot more credibility and they will also surely be toned down.

You didn't read the article.  The reference to Ukrainian radicals was a description by the author of the piece, not what was presented on television in Luhansk.

Euromaidan Press is a group of volunteers, most of whom live in the West, who translate articles appearing in various Ukrainian and Russian newspapers for Westerners interested in the region.

The article Jay linked was written by Paul Goble, an expert on Soviet nationalities who worked for the State Department under James Baker, and later, was a deputy director at Radio Liberty and a CIA analyst on Soviet nationalities policies.  He now heads the Jamestown Foundation's Eurasia group.

Once again --in your haste to attempt to discredit me you have not read the article.!

Just as your previous accusation was incorrect on the words of Trump actually being quoted  you once again want to dispute the words that make the basis of the headline.

You have some pre-conceived agenda -- and it is not me that is discredited.

Well then, you didn't read it carefully.  This is what the Luhansk People's representative stated, per the article -

The bolded part is the only quote from the LPR envoy.  The rest is from the journalist.  So, your statement was inaccurate.

What is wrong with you?  Unlike most people, I actually have read the articles you linked to.  And I stand by what I said.  You are posting junk.  If not, then show the quote. Write it up in the thread.  That someone said that someone said that someone said that Donald Trump said something is not a quote!

Write it up and correct me.  I will admit my wrong if you can provide it.

Ukrainians have lived with Russian interference in the development of their own domestic and foreign policy for a long time. When international media outlets started to parrot Russian propaganda that was enough for one activist to do something about this situation.

Diplomatic Defense & Destabilizing Democracy in Ukraine

Suprun: It seems that the inspiration for your involvement was Russian interference in Ukrainian affairs. It happened probably because you can literally “see the forest for the trees.” You seem to have developed a unique talent that is to see Russian interference. I remember a story that EuroMaidan Press broke about the origins of the calls for a third Maidan. You actually broke that story. Digging deeper, who were the people calling for the third Maidan? Can you tell us about that?

Shandra: I cannot say that we actually broke it because we see ourselves connecting Ukrainian media to the world. There was a wonderful investigation about groups in social media calling for the third Maidan. Thanks to Ukrainian investigative journalist who was able to investigate the story and translate it to the English speaking audience. The groups are linked to Stepan Mazura who is a militant of DNR and who is currently in Moscow working on informational operations to incite unrest in Ukraine. How do we know this is true? We have done a complicated tracking work in establishing identity of this group administrator. Basically, his friends gave it away confirming that is him. The groups involve many troll accounts meaning they are not real people and they are artificially created accounts. At the time a specific topic needs to be disseminated in Ukrainian society, they start publishing all these things, liking them, sharing them. The real life friends of the bots also see this topic pops up and they start sharing that. That is how you make a wave across social media in hopes Ukrainian journalists will pick that up. That is how you plant a seed of disinformation in a whole discourse. These groups are operating in Ukraine. SBU is investigating administrators of such groups. Stepan Mazura is not the only one, obviously. There are other administrators.  I have seen news about a couple of arrests.

For those who deny Russian involvement in Donbas, evidence to the contrary keeps rolling in -

Quote
In August 2016, Ukraine’s General Procurator published a video tape containing illustrated and annotated audio recordings of a number of conversations between Sergey Glazyev, a Russian Presidential Advisor (an official governmental position), and several Russian as well as Ukrainian pro-Kremlin activists located or living in Southern and Eastern Ukraine. These dialogs were recorded in late February – early March 2014.  . .

The tapes reveal the involvement either of the Russian state itself, or of a formally non-governmental Russian group directed from the Kremlin in the initiation, coordination and financing of separatist meetings, demonstrations, pickets and similar actions on Crimea as well as in various regional capitals in Ukraine’s eastern and southern parts immediately after Euromaidan.


Putin’s advisor Glazyev, for instance, on 1 March 2014
informs his interlocutor Anatoliy Petrovich in the south-east Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia: 'I have an order to raise everybody, to raise the people. People should gather on the square [of Zaporizhzhia] and demand to turn to Russia for help against the Banderites [derived from the name of Stepan Bandera – a war-time Ukrainian ultra-nationalist who fought against, among others, Soviet power and was killed by a KGB agent at Munich in 1959]. Specially trained people should throw out the Banderites from the regional council’s building. Then they should arrange a meeting of the regional council, create a regional executive committee, give it executive power and subordinate the police to this new executive. I have direct orders from the leadership [of Russia] – to raise the people in Ukraine wherever we can. That means we have to bring people to the streets, as we did in Kharkiv – according to this example! And as soon as possible! Because, you see, President [Putin] has already signed a [presidential] decree. The operation has already began, there is information that the troops are already moving out. What are they waiting for? We can not do all this with [military] force. We use force only to support the people – nothing more! But if there are no people, what support can there be?'

What is the correct spelling of Donbas?  Donbass?

I have seen it spelled both ways in news releases, etc.  The Cyrillic 'c' on the end of the word, as spelled in Russian would lead me to believe that it should be Donbas.  But I have never been able to get a clear answer.

While this is not 'new" news-it does confirm what actually took place-- and it's significance.
I can't help but recall the fools here who repeated Kremlin bs denials -and those that sort to justify Russian actions.
In late August 2014 the Ukrainian military reported about the massive invasion of Russian regular army in eastern Ukraine, the fact which was also confirmed by many reports in western press.
The Bellingcat found the separate proofs of the Russian invasion, analysing the satellite images. They detected on the satellite images the new military positions inside Ukraine’s territory between the Russian border and Ukrainian troops near Ilovaisk and Novoazovsk
More proof of Russian military aggression against Ukraine revealed

The secret cross-border strikes of Russian artillery against Ukrainian army played a key role in the development of war in eastern Ukraine. A new report by Bellingcat, a citizen investigative group, reveals it was more frequent and massive than it was believed before.
While Russia denied ever having its artillery firing at the Ukrainian army from within the Russian territory, these attacks made it impossible for the Ukrainian troops to liberate the entire territory of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts from the Russian-backed separatists in summer 2014, leaving parts of it occupied till today.
Russia’s war against Ukraine took nearly 10,000 lives and forced about 1.7 million people to leave their homes. The fighting in Donbas still continues, with Ukrainian soldiers being wounded or killed almost daily.
The Bellingcat report, published on Dec. 21, proved that there were at least 149 cases of the Russian cross-border artillery strikes during July-September 2014.
“Recent additions of satellite imagery to Google Earth, Yandex, and Bing maps services now provides us with the evidence to map Russian artillery fire in 2014 to a much fuller extent,” the report reads.
One of the first and the deadliest cases of cross-border shelling occurred on July 11, 2014, near Zelenopillya in Luhansk Oblast, where dozens of Ukrainian soldiers were killed by Grad multiple rocket launchers fired from the Russian territory.
Denys, a former soldier of the 72nd mechanized brigade, told the Kyiv Post his unit was stationed not far from Zelenopillya and he personally saw the massive shelling.
“They burned them alive,” he said, refusing to give his last name because he wasn’t authorized for giving comments to the press.
He added that on the next day the Russians started shelling his own position.
Denys believes that without Russian artillery strikes across the border the Ukrainian troops were able to keep control over the border area, which would prevent the separatists from receiving reinforcement in people and arms.

Putin’s Undeclared War: Summer 2014 – Russian Artillery Strikes against Ukraine

During summer 2014, Ukrainian officials and also the U.S. government were already publicly stating that the Russian military were active in the war. A number of subsequent reports have corroborated these claims, documenting the presence and death of Russian servicemen in Eastern Ukraine, as well as the existence of Russian military equipment inside Ukraine.

In this report, an under-reported aspect of Russian military involvement in the conflict is fully investigated: artillery attacks against Ukraine in summer 2014. In previous reports such attacks were proven to have occurred on several occasions, but these reports could not fully describe the real extent of these attacks. Using open source evidence, this report attempts to document the full scale of the Russian artillery attacks against Ukraine in summer 2014.
