She - along with Lazerenko - now in jail, lacks everything except for good looks. With your background I would have thought you would support somebody without massive financial backing. Or is that why you write articles for her? Food comes before principles? I cannot understand why, having read this, that you have gone so strongly to supporting the billionairess, Tymoshenko??

I think the bottom line is that change is always difficult, including positive change, because human beings are creatures of habit. I'm an American living/working in Ukraine and married to a Ukrainian. My wife's grandmother lived under German occupation. I asked her which was more difficult, the German occupation or Stalin's reign of terror. She said that for Jews the German occupation was far worse, but for non-Jews like her it was about the same in terms of hardship (just one person's opinion obviously). She also said that the same police thugs who enforced Stalin's reign of terror before the war were pretty cooperative with the Nazi's and were the same guys on the street corners doing their thing during the occupation. They preferred Stalin though, because the Nazi's were outside invaders and represented a humiliation of sorts (of being occupied). Excellent blog!
