When talking about the Minsk declaration, we have to bear in mind that it is a document which was adopted in haste and is a result of a political compromise. The conference at which it was produced ran out of time and could not discuss concrete actions regarding the Ukrainian question, even though that point was on the agenda. The position of various groups, including liberals and pacifists, who wanted to use the Minsk declaration to create a broad anti-war coalition, was considered when the text was being prepared. Additionally, the event was host to organisations whose representatives saw the Kiev Maidan as initially being a “democratic and anti-authoritarian movement” and stressed the role of Russian imperialism, basing themselves on the principle that “the proletarian’s main enemy is at home”. The influence of their ideas is also reflected in the document.
