It seems all to picturesque, throwing the shackles of communism of to pave the way for democracy and capitalism. At least, that's how the West sees the recent revolution in Ukraine. The reality is a harder truth to swallow. Since the onset of the intern Ukrainian parliament, there have been some very fascist laws passed. Including the banning of the communist party and the lifting of anti Nazi bans. Given the countries past involvement with fascist Germany this news comes at no surprise. Even less surprising is the hatred of the Russian invasion. In 1930's Stalin highhandedly organized the systematic famine of seven million Ukrainian citizens.So far the only power to recognize this disaster is Russia. Although criticized in the United States and Europe, all efforts made in Russia have been to prevent assets from falling into the hands of the extremely right Ukrainian government. The Ukrainians however, do not want this involvement with Russia and will do anything to keep them out.
