I studied a really interesting course about Russian foreign policy, it was fascinating talking about Kievan Rus' and how many Russians cannot comprehend that the Ukraine is a separate country; Kiev is where Russia was born essentially and it's alien to them that Russia doesn't include Kiev. They were offering some seriously good deals to Ukraine to stop them heading towards Europe, lots of oil and gas deals etc... pretty mental.
Have you seen that banned Georgian Eurovision entry We Don't Wanna Put In? So funny
up there with the Ukrainian one by Verka Serduchka, so politically charged!
