Unfortunately, my Grandma passed away in Mar 1991, 5 months before Ukraine gained Independence again. When I was a child in the 1970's she sewed together a Ukrainian flag for me.

As much as I don't want to talk about him, time to talk about the dwarf in the room. This mid level mediocre KGB staffer goes from his posting in east Germany to become the king of corruption. 1991, when the KGB coup on Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev fails. The KGB is disbanded.
Bunker dwarf putin is all of a sudden out of a job. He becomes the deputy Mayor of St Petersburg (Leningrad). There he was tasked to help get rid of corruption from the streets. He did get it off the streets? But moved moved it into his office. Giving the illusion corruption is gone from the city.
Seeing corruption vanish in St Petersburg, drunk Yeltsin was very impressed. He then asked, putin to head an investigation across russia to get rid of corruption. Bunker dwarf putin was more than happy to. Even more corruption/money to route through his office.
Drunk Yeltsin then made bunker dwarf putin the head of the FSB (the replacement agency for the KGB). Giving bunker dwarf putin the opportunity to consolidate power by getting the FSB to back him. Drunk Yeltsin must have been really drunk when he gave bunker dwarf putin the presidency in 1999.
Bunker dwarf putin and the FSB bombed apartment buildings in Moscow to create a fake terror threat and blamed Chechnya, and launched a war in Chechnya.
In this war in Chechnya, he leveled Grozni and installed Kadyrov as "dictator" of that self autonomous region. Plus attacking Dagestan and Georgia.
2004 ORANGE REVOLUTION through fraud, Moscow got bunker dwarf putin's puppet/boyfriend Yanukovich into power as President in Ukraine. Except the Ukrainians saw through the fraud and demanded he resign. 2009 Ukrainians demand Ukraine join the EU. 2010 Yanukovich ran again, with Moscow help....
That help, fraud and corruption was well hidden. Yanukovich became President of Ukraine. 2013, November Yanukovich stopped Ukraine from joining the EU. This sparked Ukrainians to protest. Many Ukrainian students joined the protests. Then russian thugs beat the demonstrators. Ukrainians were shocked.
Thanks for the history lesson. The last part brought tears to my eyes.
