UKRAINIANS, RUSSIANS, POLES, JEWS AND OTHER MINORITIES THAT RESIDE IN UKRAINE KNOW FULL WELL THAT SOVDEPIA CONTINUES TO EXIST EVEN AFTER NINE YEARS OF UKRAINIAN INDEPENDENCE. IT IS SAD TO SEE THAT THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAUGE IS ON THE DECLINE IN IT'S OWN COUNTRY. UNDERSTANDABLY RUSSIAN IS STILL THE DOMINANT LANGUAGE. AFTER MANY YEARS OF RUSSIFICATION, REPRESSION AND RELOCATION OF POPULATIONS IT HAD BEEN FORGOTTEN HOW THINGS GOT TO BE THE WAY THEY ARE TODAY IN UKRAINE. THE KLEPTOCRACY NOW IN POWER IS COMPRISED OF FORMER COMMUNIST BUREAUCRATS, PARTY BOSSES, AND THUGS THAT CAME FROM A HIGHLY RUSSIFIED NOMENKLATURA WHO MANAGED TO CLING ON TO POWER IN UKRAINE AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION. THE MAFIA IN UKRAINE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT LANGUAGE ISSUES THEY DO BUSINESS WITH EVERYONE, BUT PRIMARILY ARE RUSSIAN SPEAKING. THEY DO NOT CARE IF YOU ARE RUSSIAN, JEWISH, UKRAINIAN, POLISH OR WHATEVER, THEY JUST WANT A PIECE OF YOUR WORTH. THEY HAVE NO FAITH, OTHER THAN THE MIGHTY DOLLAR. THE AUTHORITIES DON'T SEEK THEM OUT, BECAUSE THEY ARE INVOLVED ALMOST COMLETELY IN THE RAPE AND PLUNDER OF UKRAINE AND IT'S PEOPLE. DRUGS, PROSTITUTION, WHITE SLAVERY ARE ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE WHOLE PICTURE OF CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE. KUCHMA'S UNDERLINGS ARE INVOLVED AT EVERY LEVEL OF SOCIETY, FROM THE VILLAGE TO THE BIG CITY. WESTERN BUSINESSMEN CAN'T MOVE AN INCH WITHOUT PAYING SOMEONE OFF, FOR LICENCES, FOR RENTING SPACE OR BUYING EQUIPMENT. THE GOVERNMENT TAXES EVERYONE ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, AND I WONDER HOW MUCH OF THAT MAKES IT INTO THE NATIONAL COFFERS. THE MEDIA IS HARNESSED AND THE LITTLE GUY ON THE STREET GETS TO DRINK A LOT AND COMPLAIN ONCE IN A WHILE, OTHERWISE HE KEEPS TO HIMSELF BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE HASSLED. PROBABLY THE WORST OF THE BUNCH ARE THE YANYCHARY, THE SO CALLED INTELLIGENTSIA, THEY SEE AND KNOW VERY WELL ALL THE PROBLEMS AROUND THEM, BUT HAVE BEEN CO-OPTED, INTO A COMFORTABLE LIFE STYLE SO THEY REMAIN MOST SILENT. SCUM OF THE EARTH. THE TIME HAS COME TO EXPOSE THESE INJUSTICES AND ROLL UP THEIR SLEEVES AND WORK FOR A BETTER UKRAINE. NO WONDER SO MANY MILLIONS HAVE FLED FROM UKRAINE IN THE LAST NINE YEARS, THEY DIDN'T SEE MUCH HOPE, ONLY HIPPOCRACY ALL AROUND THEM, IT'S LIKE ONE BIG PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL SOME SAY.
