I'm of Ukrainian descent - even though it was my great-grandparents that came over the family kept the culture and my dad's first language is Ukrainian and my Baba has gone to Ukraine to visit whatever distant relatives survived Stalin... - and I am always interested in what is going on in Ukraine. As a people, they have been getting the short end of the stick for centuries. I just want it to work out for them, finally but I think it's about to go very violent. I hope I'm wrong. Keep us updated.
