how to speak Russian Andertons to be someone different orientation between the two

regions on that reflect shelf in not just now but in

00:04:00

in politics Ukraine from the very beginning you want to look at a map from electrical

Neil electro geography which is a website that you can see

election of the red states blue states that the western central

central tendency vote more for Kansas to rent a tour the west and the east

east and south Civil War for candidates for the train to Georgia Russia

Irina maybe you can talk about this you’re from the westerns

section of of Ukraine you and your family medicine and the Dozen

00:04:35

doesn’t work like that it is as far as it is far is how you feeling most people you know

w no one that part of the country um hot how do you feel about things politically

absolutely the wise is blessing Ukraine is definitely on focus towards the west

watch stores in Europe and the east is always been traditionally

and even though you’re getting Livermore divided is still looking to the east

now how to display out in the Orange Revolution of 2004

4 a.m. What was almost a classification of course it’s important because the

00:05:10

the protests end of the presidential election 2004

or or kind of a precursor you can see on a very simple mobile

and in that year the up and coming

President was retiring after his two terms and union Clovis

the current president of as a successor on the coast

which was strong in Houston south infected campaign in Russian

what is the time and Houston co the eventual victory after the protest

00:05:45

how to space and his policies

alexis y faciles training an American on and cheese

you break the idea that join the EU and so forth electoral map shows

shows that each other stronghold well that election was stolen

and that triggered the protest so there’s a very focus event justice arias

where is the time only was about electro fairness which in some respects abroad

broader issue on but it is so the Orange Revolution

00:06:20

oceans that occurred after the first result came back in and out

electro forensics could show you on this is element in an inch

in the election of Trance that were over a hundred percent in

and in late returns from the Russian River regions wind in inches

in shape but larger Illinois area have seen this in Chicagoland Paula 64

um but you at the point at which it appears that Young

Jana Cova going to be declared the winner of the protest broke out so on

00:06:55

you have the same kind of divisions you do now over the only over

A specifically electoral fraud issue now in Seoul

so interesting because of the Arts Revolution and I want to ask why aren’t what’s the significance

significance of iron on Lido European politics has with a circle

color coded so parties tend to have a new back to the 19 century

century where greens were patrons for farmer parties and blacks for conserving

the parties for the black color of the clergy on b***

00:07:30

is a without is as much as symbolic significance parties tend to adopt

adopt a color that is so they can be recognized in demonstrations info for

the fourth and the Houston co campaign in his party adopted the color or

orange the wind when the fraudulent elections for challenged

the color of the Revolution became orange for the candidate that they say that the protest

protesters felt on have been on defrauded his victory

well you should children did take office that’s right what if you years later in 2010

00:08:05

when is the end of Covert was elected president in India

collision also been Prime Minister in the intervening time for a while

which is why I say you can oversimplify this because there were supporters again college

the part of it was a part of his something is the tree was that the dissolution

Asian after the Orange Revolution its not cleaned up the way it should have been

is it that is Athens look to you Irina do the umm did the reformer

farmers not do as effective jobs they promised absolutely I am the Chive

00:08:40

betrayed a lot of people’s opinion creams that they tried to send

did not without the corruption in time and a captain in the office and eventually just tobacco

tobacco ver so we bring up to this moment

moments and I understand it was in November where not president day Jana Cova

which of America clear that he was not going to sign an association

the green with the European Union witches what’s the word been leading up to to do

to do but instead because the closer economic ties with Russia and

00:09:15

and you know it you know if I say something like that in America

maybe NAFTA would be that controversial but the most people don’t think about

about trade agreements with that much with without the fire and spark

but here the really was a lot of fire in Sparks Nevada when are you gonna call me that decision

decision and that’s when demonstration started I take it

Reno tree decal free cream Stephen enter the EU it cost

35 years to get a visa to go to be there in about 300

00:09:50

are students were hoping for the temperature need to be able to travel abroad to be able to study

study and um really just grow so it is because

because they were the one for really hope future honest Invisalign

alot of a lot of people in Ukraine you’re talking about young people look to you

Europe to Western Europe as a place as as as a place to party

future absolutely they look to the way things wrong the standards

regulations on the same thing as the one in the body Gentry university without having to pay

00:10:25

bribe they won the standards so closer times with Russia

Russia instead what would that signify for them images signify going back to

things were going back to the Soviet era and essentially corruption

Robson and just being stuck in one place the way they have been for the Sears center demonstrate

demonstration to taking out in maiden Square in Anaheim Osama Carolina take your telling me that

that the word maiden means Square so what if I say maidens where I’m saying

fast switch and then been rescinded a prime minister resigned

SSN for to to other comp things down

00:14:30

Carol do you see the Saints have any effect with a haven’t fr

is it clear what are the things that was too in the Orange Revolution

Aleutian is going to be part of the story to in in some way is one of the reasons

reasons the situation was resolved is that the the Constitutional Court of Ukraine

pain pills a legal action to rerun the election

election at this time the president is is is roping for

an exit strategy that would also be

00:15:05

constitutional even as what’s happening on the street is it particularly legal

Anna’s Linens stores of anger

what what what he did first which was extremely stupid in

January was to ramsrule a bunch of a package of anti protest

the protest law on things that we would consider it would be you

that made sex valia find extremism

healthy things that I would a curvy action

00:15:40

action of independence of a society groups in so forth and then

mental health and and and and he has a back down and and Parliament

reverse itself sew on a button but at the same time he offered

he offered the Prime Minister ship to some of the opposition leader

leaders who turned it down because what they’re asking for now is new election

elections so that that the public gets a chance choose the leaders

self as president doesn’t just passed the time to someone

00:16:15

search sounds like originally this was about the European Union associate

Losi 8ight agreement and now its become something larger its it’s about the government power

yes in and go back to their just one thing that I

that I think we should discuss at least later on is the interesting things on Kobe

actually was initially Association green with you and miss going head and look like

looks like he was going to find me what is a customs union with Russia

rush is an alternative really wasn’t on the table into Russia started meaning

00:16:50

Ukraine and what makes it possible to the economic crisis affair

something we can think about is you some control in with with with Russia

Russia and also controller who’s in charge what parts do you want to get to in the moment

what’s the word head and take a phone call we have online 1 Paul from Champaign County good

good morning urine focus yeah I wanted to be is nuance

is it like to be in a short phone call I could but uh I support both sides

Augusta and I’m a tree good that the fact that there are two sides in Ukraine

00:17:25

train from the very beginning I support in opening anime porn

political opening but the problem is it doesn’t get the talk about much is the use

austerity program with Sean many Ukrainians

install a religion is the Orthodox religion in Greece RRR

are suffering from was part of what the what was included so uh

the US is all very much in French

favorable political of freedom but I ain of the the

00:18:00

the other parts of the UN Charter for instance uh uh

economic a justices if its not on there gender

and when you have example of the Snowman woman assistant secretary state

state I guess so I’m not sure exactly a position as I do have in front of me but um

this week phone call where she is moving the players

players in the Ukrainian opposition around like on a chessboard and things that guys out

Guys and then then blanking Uatu in Ohio

00:18:35

it’s so uh ha of the US is wasted on guitar

f*** off f*** revelations of spying on phone calls but um

so I just think it’s even calling also has a blister in the Sun

10 things to talk about much in Ukrainian opposition and I don’t want to

paint the mall in a broad stroke but it doesn’t Clute some very very I

reactionary anti Semitic up for you to come in on

I just I just think there’s a misapprehension distortion of the Cold War

00:19:10

are there earlier crisis that happened vis-a-vis the US in

Russia that I think it is kind of Illuminati ignorance of the Sun

the circumstances the previous crisis with Georgia where territory

Torries that were given to Georgia by Stalin were seen it

Interqual to know Georgia and people like uh uh

McCain word up their pasta ring with self it in Ukraine

Ukraine about how was the name of the integrity of view of Georgia have to be respected in

00:19:45

looking looking at the historical background of the circumstance

I hope I got some of our time I’m not fur

draconian crackdown on occupying a square justice

what I was into for the draconian response that the US did to us

to the Occupy movement Princeton so um a lot of

what there and I just I just like the people out of a look into the Sun with a lot more

I’ll talk to you then well put a hind it all in

00:20:20

nope nope reefer units for sure but I just think that the economic dimension

is not treated affected the EU of Urbino 600 million

million dollars in a package and that the the pipeline for gas

for calf that goes through the Ukraine which I guess you cremeens Porter anywhere

anyway II better a better I’m out I’m not keep going cuz I probably could but I think

thanks so much I hope you can’t read some of those a little piece of the theif

the issue thank you ok ball thank you very much in the womb let’s see how

00:20:55

see how we can a cracked is open one of the things I heard Paul talking about was

looking at the austerity programs at the European Union has been on

has has been working with some with with with some of the nations in the relief

financial trouble from the front for from from the recent recession

I don’t know if an association agreement brings you closer to that those

does notifications yes the way it does

CNN in a fairly direct way um yeah I try to Parsi economic services

00:21:30

myself about about what the pros and cons of the two economic remix R

and if its rather difficult

how to eat a sin Yahoo valuable thing I can say is that

the logic of opening Ukraine to the to the Western market

market and Western travel does come with it up a number stipulations

do you have to have to integrate with r are economic legal structure

face soap on the ice rink I remember to figure Street in 80 loss

00:22:05

what expect the Ukrainian Parliament pass OK O’Loughlin

which wouldn’t mind the more closely with the EU what Shortland effect

effects might be on there that would be disrupted

Volvo all those the comparison figures are

does he just the facts about her deal than the Russian

Russian custom Union offer which does not mean that that that there would be some

stress fair and it doesn’t mean that everyone would benefit

00:22:40

because one of the effects of of new liberal policies and I eat

he was not News liberal highly regulated 42 on is

is that inequality can and you can

increase even if the economy is growing its not straight forward but whatever

about the opening on n on

Ukrainian friends in academia before the Schengen

before the Poland join the EU who’s back and forth really a cross that border

00:23:15

Border Collies in Indian in Warsaw to Krakow and now they can

can I mix with reverse fat unfortunate facts

thats that blocks that border between Poland

which is the golden in the Ukraine EU border the used to be

how to be much more open border the time will certainly when was the Soviet republics video

satellites Kevin after that before Poland became part of the

Schengen visa free travel sandwiches uniquely you

00:23:50

you but I take it being part of the troubles on looks

can be pretty attractive ohyes for doing business for videos

for tourism for education in for jobs

apps that border is significant in breaking it would be very useful

what are the things that that that

Paul brought up in a camel’s Justice Cushing some of the laws that would be

that would be asked for under the Association Agreement are those things that are

00:24:25

things that are the bait in Ukraine as as as as as controversy goes forth

admission yes there was Anderson divisions are some 2000 West and East

uniform of the West was for the USO station

I know that you switch for Russians Asian Amazon there’s a lot of debate how are now

everything turned on November 30th when the students that were protesting

not signing the US huge numbers in Winder brulee clear

cleared out from the square Desmond really does the petrol point of everything turning off

00:25:00

can you speak with a lot of people protesting for the square right now they will tell you this is not about

what about the you anymore how to write this is about the corruption this is about what happened

happened since you came out here to children came out here in the things that you can see in

teen public opinion polling is in the lead up to the moment the dream in the Odyssey

Association bring it already been initial initial in spring median in 2000

2012 what the public was really split 46

roughly write 33 so Reilly favor the reason

00:25:35

maturity I’m looking for figures in December

um support for the customs union Russia I’m going down for the b****

but wasn’t so much about about the pros and cons of the

the agreement that just about the the protest the reactions

feeling that that u Paramus being pushed around unfortunately historically

being in between major economic and political forces in Ukraine space

fade so perhaps a lease in the short term not a good the crackdown was not a good political move

we have a car that’s been waiting patiently David from Urbana Online 2

good morning urine focus yes pursuant to the comet

just before the break up think people died under wear

generally of the closer relationship of the Ukraine in Poland

Poland through the Middle Ages and down into the

I fink 18th century they were at times unified

00:28:30

at times 10 the Ukraine would be the capital of Nevada

another time the capital would be in Poland and is very very

are important relationship that only ended when the

neighboring powers divided up Central Europe

if you could go further than that because after world war 2

421 of the things Stalin did which politically turned out to be very stupid in 1991

a1 is move the Soviet borders West

00:29:05

into Poland and then move Poland West Germany

gobbling up the Baltic States been independent between the two wars and take

can taking parts of a point point Ukraine on a mix Porter air

terraria where is actually sandwich in never been part of the Russian Empire but have been

been part of Poland when pulling with divided in part of your world Poland

that that boundary in how many names are there for you City Maryland

different languages 35 right on that reflects that history of of the way

00:29:40

the way the Poland and Ukraine Borderlands route 22

very good point of reference point not disturb you rush a bike

your back home battle region between

Russia and what we call the West as a matter of fact

fact I was talking with some When I was talking with the former internal parts Royal Star

who has who has a visited this is Ukraine on a Fulbright scholarship

shipping and Men band has been the following situations and I was asking him about

00:30:15

about I guess there is a movement for Ukraine infect your city

Lviv to a host of Winter Olympics 2022

who and Tyrell was wondering if ur have semi be a project that was done for have some cooperation

with Pullman CC the things that was something that was not without an outside around

possibility that would be the first time we just posted along with hole in the Euro Cup

which is on your soccer tournament and a specially the dream

region is always been car burning with Paul and I have my city we still don’t know

00:30:50

originator weather today so

when we see a situation where the Ukraine

crane is looking for closer ties with the EU and closer ties with Poland which is part of the EU

BECU but Poland being a former Soviet satellite and you

Ukraine being a former Soviet republic what is that look like to the leaders of the Russian Federation

Russian Federation  well for women intimidating considering download

mean moving away or less control over the region if you think

00:31:25

think all the way back to 1991 Soviet Union collapsed the timetable there was a coupe

analogous the trigger event that pulled apart the Soviet Union

literally December was the Ukrainian vote for independence referendum

random on and when that referendum pass Handley

the of the Russian president Nelson decided without

without Ukraine what’s the point of the Soviet Union Dr EGOT

got together with the the dream presidency Belarusian president Nathalie just

00:32:00

just just said there’s no constitutional not pass for this is over

Cain and what comes next bus come some kind of relationship

so that is for Russians that is very important area in speedos

Kevin Roose which is geographically you

Ukraine was the big is regarded by many Russians as the founding members

the finding state of Andrews were talking about talking about

bottle and a people and government existed 1000 years ago bright

00:32:35

right hand but that was the area where was Christianity was was the

what you was in Brea spy in the eastern region eastern regions

regions in the Russian and that’s you got that whole reason

Muscovy Moscow what’s the latest a little later States

Ashley ethnically Ukraine Russian at that point is probably wrong with Russians

oceans 11 presidents refrain what is this is interesting I want to Saint David for calling

calling in bring this up as we were talking about time between Poland and also to

00:33:10

also ties between Russia and Ukraine looking at a & a of atom

ata country were were many people speak Ukraine and many many people speak Russian

Russian and I assume many people speak both Plus there are

according to Wikipedia about 18 recognized regional languages

I was wondering the languages what are the languages you speak back home will Ukraine is the predominant

Domino one but growing up in you pronounce in Russian polishes all because of Niger

position polish was something I heard of it so you can you can you can become

00:33:45

trilingual and but but but thats thats also a marker

Parker in some ways of who you are in Ukraine and somebody in the eastern part of Ukraine

Ukraine would be speaking a different language is perhaps absolutely

um you know there been since revenant somebody Ukrainian Hogan st. Cream with me

and um I’ve known people from the last so sometimes

interesting what happens in Kiev the capital where to meet

and it just sounds of this that describe a lot of difficulty in 7&a

00:34:20

dan and setting up the countries feature direction when you have these two cultural streams

dreams coming in the haven’t quite blended its not a melting pot quite is it

and then some people might want to see The Melting Pot that’s not what it is yet

what is the issues were the issues is linguistic

what should rushing be a second official language of not bats

yeah that set up a subjective controversy country in the head

the husband have been controversial laws also ones that are allowing russian tortoise

00:34:55

Corbin schools are only talk to Russian regions or sis having a crayon

languages instructions which soda has been one of laws that country song however

the situation progress is the best time to realize that language is something that can be

disabled prior to archers of corruption I’ve been wondering

wondering when Paul called he brought up I think the ideas of the US off of the US is

Asus role in the solar fair and the beat tapes which were us

someone someone baracy with the US diplomatic official speaking despair

00:35:30

disparagingly in Sumiton not so many words off of the European Union

what does what’s in it for the US what happened to you

to Ukraine what does it mean to Americans what happens in Ukraine

I think that they are you I think that

AAU you please we were talking about how much coverage didn’t didn’t

didn’t get on use the issue the trigger issues that was won

what was in it for the EU what is in it for an infant western you

00:36:05

Europe would you always of concern to us we don’t want that area

destabilise up but you but I say

but I think that I would be interesting the AC issue in other wise

what are the reasons during the Orange Revolution

that that on the guns of the West in Volusia Poland

as a member of the EU was so adamant they were just a just entered the EU

an element of their neighbor in Ukraine you don’t want to get

00:36:40

the intention of the West so this is important to Poland

meaning of me talk about the relationship but I’m saying I’m saying

is weed interesting I think that you I think that we are concerned about

about the stability of any of that region up b***

the EU and Europeans more concerned because

the the the boundaries between you and me

its neighboring states which nation has played in with a call neighborhood policy

00:37:15

I’ll see something that you never had policy on your husband

nonyx takes as well as stability stinks and SR is United States a country

proponent of democracy this should be relevant because this is the situation

NFL we are the emergency say then this is

this is absolutely Road important is well I want to mention that I we still have time

time for your foot your calls Hiiraan focus to talk about the situation in UK

Ukraine with the guy with the Mirena should not Scott she’s a law student

00:37:50

student hear the oven and a native of Ukraine and with your vital signs

science professor Carol left for phone numbers are 1 800 to 2294

9455 1 800 222 WILL

you can email acid will dash talk at Illinois a.edu

edu II take it in that for for Russian for the Russian Federation flag

putting the states are higher its if they lose economic influence

once over Ukraine it’s more than just a matter of losing face it’s something that really

00:38:25

the counts for Russia  for a

Russia has control over the neighboring regions through the means of

of trade a lot of the former States rely on it for China

the only explanation for the states live in Ukraine would be losing one of those

States to control to be able to trade in Cheaper ground there’s a lot of business

business in Ukraine special Eastern the Russian businessman are involved in

umm go mining those kind of things so it would be more than just down

00:39:00

status of state is the moon to the earth

police going into this crisis green treated equally with

with the EU and Russia probably going to mention

the big the big card that buy cell phones with the energy card

because you do not have the oil and natural gas supplies

that the sum of the day do they do Relion Russian

Russian embassy supplies and in the past several occasions rush is turned off

00:39:35

tap that send that actually gas from a taxi a private company but

Russian government has a lot of sway with gas from oil pipelines
