And the genocide continues with Russia trying to Steele Crimea and put pressure on the weekend Ukrainian forces to hold on to their country. Canada and the United States have sent soldiers to train their forces away from the fighting. It is really sad because Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons for Mutual protection by both Russia and the United States. Ukrainians are kind of like the Kurds getting screwed over by everybody

my recollection is that krushchev loosened ukranian ties but didn't see that as russia weakened, ukraine would move away. russia has no real 'warm weather' ports and ukraine used to guarantee them a black sea-mediteranean route to suez and the atlantic. russia still covets polish and lithuania, latvia and estonia also. they need ukraine and syria to give them more latitude. oops.

Haaretz the Israeli newspaper published a very interesting article on Stalin's willing executioners, definitely worth a read.

i have been wrong before but ms applebaum did not discuss the export of grain by stalin in order to modernize russia with famine being a consequence. fewer ukranians, lebensraum for russians, like the irish famine and the corn laws of britain.
