And they should be alarmed and actually appear to be doing something about it. You and Mazepa miss the point. I could never argue such things don't occur elsewhere BUT I can easily argue that in Western Ukraine it is not only condoned, it's encouraged. One need look no further to the funding received by the current Ukrainian "leaders" from far right anti-semitic groups. It'd be the equivalent of Putin receiving funding from the guys who back spanalot's favorite newspaper "Zavtra." Or from Bush getting money from the KKK.
Furthermore, if Ukrainians are so mistreated in Russia why do they still go there and easily assimilate?
