altho i know u may not be the best person to ask since u don't live in the ukraine... do u think that ukraine's history of oppression and invasion from surrounding countries make ukraine more willing to fight and march against vote fraud? the timing of it during the 2004 election year was simply spectacular.

I just think many Ukrainians were fed up with Russia's unwanted involvement in its political system.

Now the Ukrainians aren't as nationalistic as the Koreans, but they will from time to time fight back in order to preserve their culture.


It's interesting becaise the Ukraine and Korea share a lot of things in common:

- both are surrounded by powerful neighbours which have attempted to restrict or eliminate their repective cultures

- both have very beautiful women

- both nations made up of men who are heavy drinkers

- mandu/perogies Laughing

- kimchi and rice/cabbage rolls Laughing

- North Korean and the eastern Ukraine were heavily influenced by the Soviet Union and are primarily industrial, while South Korea and the western Ukraine now look more towards the west and are agricultural

- as a result both nations are quite divided (of course the example in Korea is much more extreme)

- both nations were invaded by the Mongols

- both produce very good soccer teams

- gangsters in both countries have their hands in various buisnesses and even government agencies
