The pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia American press never comments against the very active discrimination against Russians who live within Ukraine by the Ukrainian government, and not just in the eastern sections of the country, but throughout the country. Our press never ever comments about this very intense repression. Why?
The true situation in the Ukraine is that, unfortunately, you have two nationalities, if not ethnic groups, living there that despise each other.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
