This made the revolution in Ukraine not only a disaster for Russian foreign policy, but a challenge to Putins regime at home. The weakness of Putins policy is that it cannot account for the actions of free human beings who choose to organize themselves in response to unpredictable historical events. Russian propaganda presented the Ukrainian revolution as a Nazi coup and blamed Europeans for supporting these supposed Nazis. This version, although ridiculous, was much more comfortable in Putins mental world, since it removed from view the debacle of his own foreign policy in Ukraine and replaced spontaneous action by Ukrainians with foreign conspiracies.

I mean, yeah, you've got Chopin who lived most of his life in Paris... is there anything else??
The world is shrinking at an increasing rate. TV and the internet have totally killed the Southern accent in Texas so that you only hear it amongst people over 60 any more; they'll do the same thing to Polish and Ukrainian in less than ten years.
Been listening to any of the interviews from Ukraine? I mean, they're all in Russian. Anybody in Ukraine who isn't retarded speaks Russian now and even the retards will catch up in five years.
In twenty years, these are the languages which the world will need and which will still be spoken other than by historians:
That will be it. English will still be the universal business and social media language and we'll have a rational phonetic alphabet for it by that time.
Polish and Ukrainian will be stone, cold dead.
