Reconsidering Russia and the Former Soviet Union is a blog devoted to Russian-Soviet Irredentism. The author denies the presence of Russian militar troops in the Ukraine conducting intelligence, invasion, and separatist operations against the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian territorial integrity.
Note his use of a map of Novorussiya being discussed as the Ukrainian territories being discussed as Russia's irredenta and claimed by Putin in his recent televised speech to Russia. http://reconsideringrussia.org/2014/03/02/what-is-ukraine/novorossiya/

By all accounts, even ever-lying Russians admit that majority of population in every region of Ukraine wants to stay in Ukraine. If Russian orcs were not sent in to ignite the violence, the new compromises would be made and consensus found. The key is: Russia doesn’t want stable, reach and happy neighbors - that would show Russians there is another life besides slavery and vodka.
