Remember the lesson from the October Revolution.
Most Russians wanted to get rid of the Tsar, but the vast majority didn’t ask for what replaced it.
Most Russians wanted to get rid of the Tsar, but the vast majority didn’t ask for what replaced it. Hardly anyone wanted to "get rid of the Tsar". His Majesty was universally loved by the Russian people and his resignation stunned the nation. City intelligentsia, perhaps, wanted a democratic republic. Nearly everyone wanted an end to the Great War. The comparison between the organized criminal group that runs Ukraine (or Russia) and the last legitimate government in Russia is preposterous.
This said, of course in any revolution it is important that the national spirit is strong. In Russia, it wasn't, and it isn't now. It is important to note that all countries of East Europe used the period after the breakup of the Soviet Union wisely, building up their national consciousness. All countries that is except the Russian Federation, that lost its Russianness instead of losing its sovietness. Too bad, -- but I am happy for Ukraine already, no matter what emerges next.
Russia will be free again with the prayers of her saints.

Bingo. Nationalist Ukrainians aren’t seems capable to run a nation. They had their chance from 1990 into mid-2000s and once a jewel of Imperial Russia and USSR is yet to grow to a Mexican level in either economy, political stability and a lack of corruption ever since.
Nationalist Ukrainians tends to politicize everything and they are stuffing their pockets with any resources they can put their hands on while in office.
What are their input into national legacy? A studies condemning Germany, Russia, Poland and Jews (depending on a direction of political flows at the time) for everything that went wrong in their country? Or maybe a hordes of ‘Russian’ prostitutes selling themselves for dime worldwide, including in Mexico, India and Africa?
