#2 And still the tools in the media and EU elites can't understand that there is no significant difference between Fascism & Communism, BOTH are merely variations of Socialism.

#4 First of all Russia is daughter of Ukraine. THe heart of the first Rus was in Kiev not in Moscow but then Kiev fell to the Mongols and the heart of Rus went to central Russia where the forests offered better prospectives of resisting the onslaught of the cavalry-heavy Mongolic Army.

Second: Ukarine is not homogeneous. It includes both slavics (Cossacks) and non-slavic (Tatars, Kalmuks)who have little love for Ukranians and often have historically been fiercely loyal to Russia (the close body guards of the tsars were not Grand Russians or even Cossacks but Kalmuks) probably because Russia shielded them from Ukanian encroachements. Finally you have of course Grand Russians (ie "proper" Russians ) living in Ukraine.

Put this togteher, sprinkle with some feeling of unity with Russai between "real" Ukranians and you have at least one third of Ukraine and most of Crimea that will vote for the "Russian" candidate and was not that happy when Ukraine splitted from Russia.

#5 JFM, you're probably right. But, that just makes this another one of those ancient tribal conflicts that most all of the world suffers through continuously (see also Balkans, Ireland, Belgium, etc.).

America was founded on certain principles to refute tribalism and enshrine individualism. The current trend here is to revert to the tribes. 8^(

#7 ..I guess that is a little more concise as a pejorative than 'counter revolutionary saboteurs' in the local lingo.
