Ukraine: Struggling to be Western, Whatever that Means

Almost one hundred years ago, the Majority party, or Bolsheviks, in Moscow, shocked the world and overthrew the traditional Russian royal monarchy and became Communist.

The People, it would appear, had arrived according to some ideologists of that ilk.

What a trip it has been.

They were anti-Western, because the West was capitalist and anti-people.

Pro elite, or bourgouisie. (How to spell burgues in English-French?)

And now in 2014, there is a struggle for the hearts and minds of this remnant of the former Soviet Empire.
