I'm sure someone will come along any minute now and tell you how much worse Ukraine was. That whole region is fucked up, but Russia is regressing while countries that align with the EU are progressing.

It is interesting how that article quotes Yuriy Syrotyuk, a leader of fascist Svoboda. All the people decrying Svoboda's role? Well shit, they got exactly what Svoboda wanted...
