: It's not only cynical and cruel, but also not very smart. Ukraine's strength is in its democracy. Without it you will never see Poland any closer from where Ukraine is.
Not with dictatorship, but after it's gone. The most vicious example no one, of course, wants, was Germany.
: I would direct your attention at some very different things. E.g. both Lithuania and Poland have so called "lustration laws" which require from people who cooperated with the KGB to declare (at least secretely) these facts of their lives. I think Ukraine must follow these examples instead of trying to go the "Putin way".
That won't help much.
