(well the MSM) on BOTH sides, Western and Russian, is trying to portray this as a "Cold War- The Sequel" type of situation. And of COURSE, it has MANY elements of that imperialist rivalry involved in it. However, it's not all about the Imperials- Russian or Western. There are real people involved who are trying to hold on to Ukraine for Ukrainians and, more specifically, Ukraine for the Ukrainian WORKERS and the average people.

Barotba is one of those forces trying to save Ukraine for the Ukrainian masses.
