Russia has nearly doubled pensions paid to retirees in Crimea, raising them to the average levels paid in Russia (about 300 $).
Social services, as goverment workers (teachers, doctors, ect ect) salaries, will also be significantly raised from 1 April.
Meanwhile, the Kiev unelected goverment has cutted pensions of 50% (160 $ to 80 $) and IMF has required an austerity plan that will cut social services, layoff government workers, freeze wages, ect.
In your opinion, what do East Ukrainians think about that?

Then look at this newspaper's orientation during the Maidan events, and you will have a hint at the answer.

Posts: 241the eu will speed up the implementation of a simplified visa regime for ukrainians, stated european commissioner for expansion and european neighbourhood policies stefan füle.
he said this at the open session of the ukrainian government with the participation of european politicians.
'on our part we will be speeding up the liberalisation of visas for ukrainians, ' stated füle.
european officials understand, he noted, that these efforts can only be realised with the active participation on part of ukraine.
'we saw how decisions and laws in very short terms solve issues of visa liberalisation. i hope that we will go to the second stage of the process in the near future, ' said füle.
aside from this, during the government session the finalised legislative package was approved, necessary for ukraine to cross to the second stage of the non-visa regime.
'de facto we are talking about making decisions that will give ukraine an opportunity to, in collaboration with european partners, finalise the procedure of establishing a non-visa regime, ' said the prime minister arseniy yatseniuk, when opening the government session.

So I think you've got a captive, impoverished and worried population there for the next few years.
Yes "what has happened is not good" in human, economic and geo-political terms. But it should be good for mongering.

Sure Prosal, I agree with your assessment.
And while the wisdom or social justice of these measures can be disputed, depending on your point of view, surely from the monger's point of view this is all good?
Low wages, poor safety net, expensive imports and devalued currency will all drive struggling dyevushki into the arms of comparatively wealthy westerners.
You can probably find girls to sponsor / semi-pros in Greece much more easily now than 5 years ago. That will go ten-fold for Ukraine.
