As mentioned my mother was from the Ukraine...and all I know about the place is that it was always neglected and abused....good luck my friend....be patient and do not be moved through emotion...go slow...and be wise...all will work out...>< Love to all of you.
I've already explained why Russians chose Putin, the former KGB officer. They did it, after they've realized that the West didn't try to help them, but tried to destroy them when they were at their vulnerable point of transition back in the 90ies. Don't forget that before they were voting for Yeltzin, whom they considered a pro-western, democratic leader, because they believed that West meant the ultimate good for Russia at that point. Like many Ukrainians believe now.

Putin's weakness and his ambitions destroy Russia.
Before he will manage to destroy Russia, Russia will rack the havoc in the world.
When some Americans are saying that if "The US will go down, it will pull with it the rest of the world under water," they might be right. But they don't realize, apparently, that it's the same with Russia. The country of Russia's size and importance in terms of cultural/political influence, the Third Rome actually, that lived through all the transformations up to today, wouldn't go down unnoticeably and quietly as some would hope and plan. No, far away from if it; if it would ever go down, it would pull the rest of the world with it as well.

I already said that I trust geopoliticians who speak about disintegration of Russia.
Putin wants to connect too many different people in the dreams (both Russians, and Ukrainians, both Belarusians, and Kazakhs, both Tatars, and the Georgian, and others) to one big empire.
It can't be carried out in my opinion... Russia always is at war, always there is a guerrilla war in the different regions of Russia...
How many it will be possible to continue it?
And by the way, I agree with the fact that Ukraine is part of Europe. As Russia is also a part of Europe. But Europe is more than the European Union.
That's just the point that Russia is part of Europe only geographically.
But the fact in that that Russia an autonomy, doesn't want close connections with Europe, and wants to be individual: )
So it is impossible to survive in geopolitics, even with such resources as at Russia...
You are really ready to suffer from a consequence of economic sanctions of Europe/America against Russia only because Putin decided to restore borders of the destroyed USSR?
It doesn't seem to you, what it is very high price for each Russian?

Russia historically and culturally - is part of Europe. We have Greek (Byzantine) alphabet, Greek (Byzantine) religion. And by the way, Prince Vladimir decided the baptism of Rus in Chersonesos (Sevastopol modern). We even have the Byzantine coat of arms (double-headed eagle) - Ivan III used it because he was a relative of the Byzantine Emperor. After the reforms of Peter the Great, which strengthened the state, Russia - it is quite a major European power. Say that Russia is not a European country - it's just ridiculous. Yes, now there is a definite relationships difficulty, but do not need to replace the concept.

Yes I remember they were talking about it back in the nineties, or rather were hoping for it.

He will "connect" enough to accomplish his goals.

Not true, not true at all.
In the nineties Russia wanted close connections with Europe; the US didn't want that at all, and made sure that it wouldn't have happened.
You are too young, apparently, to know/remember it all.
