		<description>So the whole world should speak German, English and Russian as they have the military power?

Look I think all Russians should give up Russian and speak Chinese as there are more people speaking Chinese and it would be better for them in world poltics.

Your logic makes no sense. We live in a diverse world and need to respect each culture and encourage diversity as this is what nature and the world thrives on.</description>

		<description>1.Hell yes,,, sooner or later the USA will decline as a world power and all these little sh*t countries will have a serious wake up call...
2.Russian is a widely spoken language with top notch literature: Golgol, Pushkin, Tolstoy and countless others also Russia is powerful, rich and close to Ukraine. Keeping the Russian language would be simply smart politics. As for famous Ukrainian literature, Who the f#*k knows. There is a reason students study Russian and not Ukrainian in college.</description>

		<description>So does that mean New Mexico, Texas, California and Florida etc should go back to Spain?  I believe that is there is a free movement of labor and capital and a government that is committed to the protection of individual liberties it does not matter. The problem is Russia is an empire and bases its economic relationship on control and nationalism and force. I think it us best Crimea stays part of Ukraine, which is hopefully an EU candidate, as long as Russia does not detail this process as they are trying to do.

Since Poland and the Eastern Bloc broke free from the Russian sphere of influence the roads are paved with gold relative to the Russia way of doing busienss.</description>

		<description>Russian Cossacks lost there lives for this land.It was never part of Ukraine in 1954 in the days of the Soviet Union Kruschev who was part Ukrainian wanted the crimea to be part of Ukraine and there was the Ukrainian transfer. The Truth is there are 11 million Russians in southeast half of Ukraine many Russian Cossacks had there homes taken right from them I mean I find this outright disgusting that people dont remember how many Cossacks who were Christian lost there lives in the Crimea war against the Brits,French Turks the vatican austrian Hugarian empire who all ganged up on Russia this land belongs to them and does its people.</description>

		<description>To Benjamin.
 Where Ukrainians came before Russians.
Do you mean Ukrainians as a nation or they came first to the territory named Ukraine?
I agree that in the Western Ukraine there are no Russians or any other ethnics. It is because your Nazi leader bandera and his naimiti killed most of the none Ukrainians and some Ukrainians who was opposed to the ethnic cleansing including communists and ethnic minorities in that region.

If you are Ukrainian then you can at least read Ukrainian language.
Найстарша назва українського народу й його першої держави — Русь.
In case you do no read Ukrainian it means that 
the first name of the people and the territory they lived in was Rus&#039;

Слово Україна, що заступило в нас Русь, відоме з давнього часу. Спершу визначало воно пограниччя (див. Іпатіїв Літопис, с. 439, 447, 490, 586); так само україною звали пограниччя поляки й росіяни. Коли українська земля, головно Київщина, стала небезпечним пограниччям з татарами, назва Україна зростає й міцніє, як окреслена назва.


Which means that the word Ukraine was known from the old times and was used by Polish people and Russian people. The meaning of the word was &quot;border&quot; or close to border land.
You can read this and much more in the book

ІСТОРІЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ЛІТЕРАТУРНОЇ МОВИ by
Іван ОГІЄНКО

The book name is History of Ukrainian language.
I do not know if it is available in English.
I red it in Ukrainian.

Here is more.
There are very little pure Russians or Ukrainians left. In the beginning they were all the same Slavic people and they spoke the same language. But as, I hope, you know after 200 years of Khazar ruling(at least 8th and 9th century), then rulings of Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Muscovite Russia there are very little left from the early Slavic.  


Mark I do not want to offend you in any way but it seems to me that most of the participants of your blog have the same knowledge of the world history or the history of their countries as you have. Which is zero.</description>

		<description>Hi Gill,

just to let you know that Russia as a country did not exists from 1917 until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The other point is that Soviet Army invaded Poland in 1939 which is before WWII.Soviet army occupied eastern Poland until the Summer of 1941. The western part of Poland was occupied by Germans in the same year but one month before Soviets.
In the summer of 1941 the Soviet army was expelled by invading Germans. As you know it was the official beginning of the WWII.
Poland was occupied by Germans until the Soviet Army reconquered it in the summer of 1944. An agreement at the Yalta Conference(Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill - company of democrats) permitted the Soviet Union to annex almost all of their Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact portion of the Second Polish Republic, compensating the People&#039;s Republic of Poland with the southern half of East Prussia and territories east of the Oder-Neisse Line.
Basically the west not even tried to stop this annexation but permitted it.
I would not dramatize the situation today. Georgia is not an indicator.(it is a big discussion by itself and we can bring it up in more appropriate topic). Ukraine is not Georgia and I am sure Russians understand it. 
There are actually no one in Ukraine (at least those who are in power and in parliament) who is fighting for democratic values.
And at last. What should we ask Poland for. Soviet tanks did not do anything when communist regime collapsed in Poland. No one was gunned down.</description>

		<description>1000 years of Russian history tells me otherwise.  The Russian government is imperialistic.  

They will not go for military conquest rather, they sponsor Ukrainian puppets with big money and if they could annex parts of Ukraine though a corrupted political process, such a Crimea.   A better solution is free press in Russia and Ukraine and Russia join EU with free movement of labor and capital and transparency at all levels.

I am very pro Russian.  I really love Russian culture.  However, the people who support Moscow&#039;s manipulation are not in my mind Russian patriots. Too many have paid the price for Moscow&#039;s greed.</description>

		<description>Russia has more oil than Saudi Araba. Russia does not want to take over Ukraine - Russians have been living in Ukraine and doing business there for the past 1,000 years. Russia does not want foreign weapons on post-Soviet soil. This is not an unreasable request. The USA for example does not want missiles in Cuba. Its the same thing. After WWII Russia invaded Poland, Hungry, and others. The west did nothing to stop this. And the west will do nothing to stop a russian invasion today. All we are going to accomplish by democracy rattling in Ukraine is push this country to civil war. And as in the case of Poand after WWII, the west will do nothing to stop Russia sending troops to post-Soviet states. The truth is we can give Russia respect in two ways - by honoring thier rights to post-Soviet states, or by war. A war that we will not fight. Those who we inspire to deomocratic values will be gunned down once again by Russia tanks, and the west will do absolutley nothing to stop it. Ask Poland.</description>

		<description>This artificial Crimean conflict was hand-made by idiocy of Khruchev, who gave Crimea to Ukrain as a gift, because he was a Ukranian himself. Stalin before him made several gifts to Georgia to please his Georgian inner child. What would you say if, say, a French prime minister give a part of France (e.g. Normandy) to a neighbor (e.g. England)? Or a member of Irish government gives an island to its northern neighbor? This is an obvious violation of the foreign policy. Now lets look at the USA. If a piece of California is given to Nevada by Nevada-born president? It seems OK for a time being - same country! but if USA collapses there will be inevitable and bloody territorial dispute.</description>
