Lyashko obviously gets some masochistic pleasure at first by bullying his opponents and then by being bitten with their fists.

Charming. Another fist fight exploded in the Ukrainian Rada on Tuesday, after Ukraine's Radical Party leader Oleg Lyashko reportedly started an altercation with Sergei Melnychuk, the leader of the Aidar volunteer battalion. Where was Yarosh with his grenade ?

That's manageable. Even Hungary with a much smaller budget and far less power was able to force banks to convert loans nominated in CHF or EUR to HUF on an exchange rate favourable to the debtor. In exchange the banks increased the transaction costs and started charging their customers, so they were able spread their losses over more ppl and wider timeframe to recover some money.

As far as I know the shrinking of the population recently stopped. What are those breakaway regions?

Russia can't even take care of its own citizens and is heading for a demographic disaster, breakaway regions will become more active and Russia cannot hold it's integrity for long

Today, one of the criteria of the middle class in Russia is the possession of a property. Many Russians have taken out loans, and the crisis of change, their monthly bills have doubled. Many will not be able to repay their loans and risk losing their property. In Russia, the credits are usually made in foreign currencies because the rate proposed by Russian institutions for loans in rubles exceed 10% (this practice was already due before the crisis, ed.) In currencies, against the rates are interesting but the risk is also more present. You never know, and rightly so, what can happen with euros or dollars.

Banks now offer these consumers to switch their credit in rubles, but the current rate of interest being close to 20%, the population is found in an impossible situation. The mortgage is one of the examples that show the difficulty of the middle class because it is also one of the criteria by which it is defined. And today, this criterion is clearly in danger.

Each Ukraine Oblast should be given a referendum - which country do you want to join?
Hungary, Poland, Trans-Dnistria!, Russia, Moldova... or stay Ukrainian - how many given the chance would stay? The entire western half of Ukraine would vote to leave to be inside the EU and the south and east would vote to join Russia. There is no Ukraine after Kiev's failed war.

Commemoration of the founding of the SS Galicia Division in Lviv, April 27, 2014

The below description of the divisions performance during the battle of Brody is quoted from the Knight Cross recommendation of SS-Brigadeführer Fritz Freitag written by RFSS Heinrich Himmler on 30 September 1944:

Up until the last battle, the division consisted not only of German soldiers, but also of Ukrainians from Galicia.These Ukrainians are soft inside and fickle, and lack much in comparison to fighting German soldiers.
The holding together and leadership of such men who are not used to war and lack hardness, and over and above that the carrying out of the most difficult orders in battle, such as those of the Brody pocket, requires the most of a responsible leader.
During the further continuation of the battle, numerous volunteers of the division fled due to their inner cowardice, and in some cases used weapons to threaten their leaders and NCO's. During this crisis, it was again the decisive presence of the divisional commander, who was there in person to re-establish the situation by inflicting the required brutal measures against any whiners, that saved the situation.
[…]
Whenever the division was deployed in the focal point of the battle, and its success recognized and recorded, it can only be attributed to the service of the German leaders who were lead by their divisional commander. (5)

Yet experts are already beginning to question the true motives behind the formation of the new combat force in Ukraine. Historian Vladimir Skachko argues that the Guard will be used to antagonize the Russian speaking population, and he has called the creation of the special force “legalization of neo-Nazi and neo-fascist batons.”

Citing historical examples from 20th century European history, Skachko draws a parallel with the SA, or Brownshirts, a paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, which acted as death squads.

This theory appears to hold ground, considering the coming of extreme right-associated politicians to key posts in the coup-installed Ukrainian government.
