Ukraine had a very similar history of attempting democracy as Russia did after the Soviet Union disintegrated. Both places attracted all sorts of "investors" from all over the world. These were men like Paul Manaford.

Russia was stabilized by Putin. Ukraine drove out the Russian leaning plutocracy and replaced him with a Jewish comic, who is now an international hero.

The question is, now that so many of the downtrodden, repressed Ukrainians have sacrificed their lives and their lifestyles to maintain a democracy, will they demand a government that rewards them for their efforts and includes them in the process.

The danger is as much from the Goldman-Sacks and Blackrock people as it is from. their own mafia.
