Ukraine, part II.
« on: September 08, 2005, 11:37:08 AM »
Comedy show goes on.

Zombie fired all ministers, people start to gather at Maidan ("Independance" square) again.

Right before a new "revolution" Ukrainian "orange" loonies tried to cancel privatisation of some chemical factories where American capital was invested.

I wonder if Yuschenko will finally order to shoot at the crowd in Kiev, doing a thing that previous "bloody regime" didn't dare to do. :mad:

As for me - I'd like to see if Crimea, Donbass, Odessa and other regions "presented" to Ukrainian SSR by bolsheviks will re-join Russia.

A Muscovite with ambitions of territorial expansion? What a novel idea!





Boroda, you make cracks like this sooooo temptingly easy....

  Will never happen with Odessa. Abilene and Sweetwater maybe, but never Odessa.

Please look somewhere how many people living in regions I mentioned have Ukrainian as a native language.

Crimea is the only "autonomous" republic inside Ukraine, and it's a Russian republic. And their kids can't study at school in their native language. Ukrainians are (and always were) a minority in Crimea, dwelling in Northern steppes, maybe a dozen of villages or so.

Recent actions of "orange" loonies are clearly against Russian-speaking population. Like courts working in Ukrainian only, so in Donbass it will be next to impossible to find any lawers able to work in this conditions.

I don't want any "territorial expansion", I want common sence to be used and I want my family to live in a normal country, not run by lunatic nationalistic minority. Last time I visited relatives in Urkaine was 2 years ago, after 10 years, and I really liked what I saw. They are doing fine, in some fields - much better then we in our "Russiania", so I am all for independant Ukraine if people there want it.

What id like to know is when the films of riots and stuff that comes out of these countries will be in HD... or atleast abit better quality.

Hard to make decent documetaries with such low quality footage.

It better be in 1080p Progressive mode or i'll cry foul foe watching a documentary in a 5 fps 1080i mode.

Yes 1080i mode is too slow for fast scenes.
