Ukraine is a heavily leftist country, more so than Russia itself.
It is actually bouncing between two groups of socialists: “right-wing” aka fascists (national-socialists Jew-hating=leftists anyway) and full-blown commies. The latter aren’t even aware that the general direction they are fapping at (Russia) is not a Communist anymore to their great disappointment.
Ask any “democrat” pro-European Ukrainian why does he come to Maidan and what he thinks about Russian and the West.
“Russia sucks, we are poor with them. And in Europe you can do nothing and still get paid and have freebies!”
End of story.
Not like Ukrainians are doing nothing.
Their exports include some of the world’s most beautiful chicks.
