The famine took part in Belarus and Russia as well, the Ukrainians claiming it a genocide against them is not justified. At least they stopped using Great Depression photos from the US to illustrate their point (not joking, they've been trying to after the orange revolution).
Keep in mind, the protester's leaders made a Nazi Deputy Secretary of the National Security. That's representative enough for me. The protesters themselves were fucked, of course. Many thought they were fighting against corruption, but they still didn't do anything to banish the Right Wing from their midsts. That's what led to Hitler's takeover in Germany: people either doing nothing or considering the Nazis to be useful idiots against the Communists.
As far as buffers go, I couldn't agree more.
