Ukrainian History

Ukraine is a country with the most interesting history in the world. It starts before the arrival of the Indo-Europeans and right now the course of Ukraine will determine the course of Europe. The peaceful, intellectual  and spiritual Ukrainians lived in a borderland between more primitive imperial states.

The current state of Ukraine is this.  It is between two worlds.  One is Moscow and the other is the EU.  I personally think it has to move toward the EU.  Free movement of labor and capital would infuse Ukraine with new wealth and direction.  Moscow would only make Ukraine a junior partner.
