Donbass
Decides (RT Documentary)
On
November 2, the people of Donbass went to the polls in a
parliamentary election. The People’s Republics of Lugansk and
Donetsk had been proclaimed after a referendum 6 months earlier.
Now
they were choosing their leaders under the scrutiny of international
observers.
The
region has now rebranded itself as the Federal State of Novorossiya.
For some time it’s needed to be self-sufficient after Ukraine
withdrew all state services, including pensions, and severed economic
ties, putting the Donbass population on the brink of starvation.
Over
700 000 citizens have been forced to flee Donbass since the military
conflict began. Now after those elections, many have begun to return.
