While the mask falls

The mask of Russian imperialism has once again dropped. Showing the face of soviet union and its true motives on the East Europe as a repeat of nationalist expansionism - an echo of the past. Now no one is hiding, the true colours are displayed. Putin is arming separatists on one front and fighting them on another. For the single purpose of keeping and restoring an empire. 

Yanukovich is a poor prince - he cannot live among the people he believes he rules. So he lives and rules, surrounded by "rumours." Such scene is set and both sides try to seek causes to blame another's first transgressions. One is reminded of what Germany called the "provocations and trangressions of US" and the emphasised actions of this kind it engaged in itself just before the World War II. But it is to remain a matter of hope that a solution would be found that would accost the national spirits with enough reason to resolve conflicts with peaceful means. For there are many precedents to show that recourse to pacifism brings a more lasting and liberal peace. While a mask falls hope does not fall to the wayside.
