UkraineWatch: Ukraine is United
http://ukrainewatch.blogspot.com/2014/03/ukraine-is-united.html
March 17, 2014. Is the current crisis in Ukraine caused by the ethno-linguistic conflict between Russians and Ukrainians, especially in Crimea? This 23-year-old bilingual post-Soviet nation seems to be divided between Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking people, right? This kind of talk not only benefits Putin’s geopolitical stake in Ukraine but also belittles a role of the EuroMaidan revolution in a democratization of Ukraine. Razumkov Center’s survey. The media has repeatedly shown. This blog is abo...

http://ukrainewatch.blogspot.com/2014/10/you-cant-teach-old-dog-new-tricks.html
October 4, 2014. You Can't Teach Old Dog New Tricks. Not in the remaining three weeks. I can't talk about every part of Ukraine. But I can tell you what's happening in Kharkiv where I am from. Kharkiv is the second largest city of Ukraine. It's about a six-hour drive from the separatist-controlled Donetsk and Luhansk provinces. Is there any ethnic or linguistic divide in Kharkiv?

http://ukrainewatch.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
July 9, 2013. Is Ukraine a Country of Lawyers or Engineers? More than twenty years ago three American economists Kevin Murphy, Andrei Shleifer, and Robert Vishny (1991) found the evidence that "countries with a higher proportion of engineering college majors grow faster; whereas countries with a higher proportion of law concentrators grow more slowly." Since then other researchers tested and confirmed their theory and findings. Does this explanation fit the case of Ukraine? Links to this post. The State ...

UkraineWatch: Ukrainian Vodka
http://ukrainewatch.blogspot.com/2012/11/ukrainian-vodka_22.html
November 22, 2012. My friends always ask me what is the best Ukrainian vodka? I am not an expert. But these two that you can see on the following picture are pretty good. On the left-hand side of the picture, you can see Zoloto Polubotka (Polubotka's Gold) vodka. It's made in Lviv. It's pretty pricey because it contains golden flakes in the bottle. Basically, it looks like the Goldschlager schnapps liqueur. But it's still vodka. July 7, 2013 at 3:14 AM. Can I get both of them from Kiev airport? While the...

UkraineWatch: The Post-American Ukraine
http://ukrainewatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/post-american-ukraine.html
September 22, 2009. No Ukrainian politicians just woke up in a new world to them – the post-American Ukraine. Since Ukraine's breakaway from the former Soviet Union a main objective of the Ukrainian foreign policy was to distance itself from Russia and get closer to Europe. Not anymore! Now let's get back to Russia. If Mr. Medvedev believes in a tit-for-tat strategy in his foreign policy, then Russia must express a gratitude to the friendly Obama administration. So what does Russia do? The first choice m...
