Both Yanukovych and Poroshenko Governments prove to be corruption-susceptible. Despite efforts of thousands liberal reforms dreamers and true patriots, nepotism and vested interests keep ruling the country, which has already became a clear reason for warning expressed by the leaders of the democratic world. Corruption denies Ukraine's entry to the European Community. Being disillusioned people of Ukraine can turn their heads to Russia. Or can't they?
The generation of those born after 1991, in a free Ukraine, is to come to the scene soon. Some of them were raised on the Western ideas, got decent education, and are building their future. Others failed to achieve anything, and claim that the state is supposed to care about them providing job places, accommodation, and social benefits. The latter would be ready to change their freedom for the old tales of stability. Will they be able to prevail?
Fortunately for the West, no such scenario will be possible, at least in 10-15 years. The world of mass consumption and pop culture makes people its slaves; but it also prevents them from being involved in radical movements and clears their heads of radical ideas. Unfortunately for the West, KGB did not disappear and has developed rather influential means of persuasion and brainwashing via new and old Russian media directed at the world's audience. Their task minimum was to set up the atmosphere of non-interference into "regional" East European affairs, the latter being treated as the "Russian zone of influence". Next task was to reveal "true enemies" of the world, e.g. the USA calling them the inspirer of any conspiracy or injustice all over the world.
Russian brainwashing proved to be efficient enough, bringing public opinion misconception in numerous states to the heights of the Cold War.
Unless the West understands how treacherous the Russian propaganda is, it may fall to it even before Ukraine does. The European Union is already under attack. 2016 Ukraine can still be made an outpost of democracy. Save Ukraine, don't leave it to the Russian scum!
If Ukraine is left on its own, and the living standard does not improve, don't be too much surprised seeing at least some of its regions trying and succeeding in joining Russia. There is an old belief (a legend?) in Ukraine: Russia can be great empire only if Ukraine is a part of it. None wants that, do you?
