| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Why do Russian-Ukrainian relations are of great concern to every
Russian and Ukrainian? In some regards, what we are witnessing today is
a delayed civil war which could have happened in the early 1990s
with the collapse of the USSR, when the first leaders of independent
Russia and Ukraine boasted that they had avoided a bloody divorce
like that in Yugoslavia. In Russia, every other citizen has relatives in
neighboring Ukraine, and the current developments are more a matter
of domestic politics. When the Ukrainian government closes Russian
Orthodox churches or bans a pro-Russian opposition political party,
the story gets immediate coverage on Russian state TV channels and
comments from Russian politicians. |
