Views of Ukraine: Russia, Baltics

First of all, welcome to visitors arriving via EURSOC. And thanks to EURSOC for the link.

Take a look at Siberian Light, which discusses Leonid Kuchma's retirement options.

Also see Baltic Blog, which reprints a poignant letter from a Ukranian student -- used to living in the fairly liberal Baltics -- returning to Kiev to participate in the demonstrations. An excerpt:
You feel yourself a guest of a biggest party ever, a member of a biggest club of trust, where people are united by the same conviction, are longing for freedom and just out of disgust and anger for the corrupted abusing, and forcing power. Now we are an orange nation and these are not just words. Ribbons, scarves, other elements of clothes, which represent this color, are in extreme fashion nowadays.
