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?
You've seen his bills? Listen, it's empty talk- some loudmouths are saying it's Berezovsky, others U.S.A., others Soros, others say it's local Ukrainian oligarchs- Poroshenko, Tymoshenko, RosUkrEnergo (!)etc., still others-a Jewish conspirators against mother Russia.
While these are all conjectures, it is certain that his "Nasha Ukraina" doesn't represent that element. (well, actually there was one guy who made antisemitic comments- he was booted a year ago)
Rabinovitch and Chervonenko- is all I need to know. If they're ok, jews are ok.
Ukraine to Russia immigration is negligible. Not sure if it's even bigger than Russia to Ukraine immigration. But if you're referring to Ukrainians seeking jobs in Russia, then of course it's quite different- things people put up with for a buck. (Actually look at me- I travelled half way around the world for that too.)
