The Rus

Knowing nothing about Ukraine, I did an hour's worth of research.

Archeologists say that Kiev, the major city in Ukraine, was founded about 27,000 years ago. The founders were Slavs, Finns and Scandinavians (the Rus).  Around the year 800 the Rus moved east and helped found Belarus and Russia. 

Ukraine is the largest nation in Europe.

The President of Ukraine is a Jew whose family lost members during the holocaust.

There are Fascists in Ukraine; they ran a candidate for president in the last election who won 2% of the vote.

During the Soviet famine of 1932, 15% of the Ukrainians starved to death. During World War Two, 20% of the population was killed. But those who lived kept fighting.
