I read this (Thursday) morning that the ex-policeman who should have been retired, has made his play. So the Ukrainians, all their various faults notwithstanding, are for it again. I don't know how they fared in the first world war and the civil war which followed the revolution, but they took a battering during Stalin's collectivisation and they took another battering during Hitler's invasion which followed that. One might have hoped that after more than half a century of peace, things would have settled down, that Russians and Ukrainians would have learned how to get along.
But who knows what is going to happen to them now.
