Also, the last time Germany send large amounts of troops to east east europe it turned out pretty bad for everyone involved.

Now, Putin is planning to put the intellectual and ideological foundations of the new regime into words.

A document called "Foundations of the State Cultural Policy" has been under development since 2012. A special working group under Putin's chief of staff Sergei Ivanov will soon roll it out for a month of "public debate" before Putin gets to sign it. Quotes from the culture ministry's draft, presumably the basis for the final one, have leaked out.

"Russia must be viewed as a unique and original civilization that cannot be reduced to 'East' or 'West,'" reads the document, signed by Deputy Culture Minister Vladimir Aristarkhov. "A concise way of formulating this stand would be, 'Russia is not Europe,' and that is confirmed by the entire history of the country and the people."

Russia's non-European path should be marked by "the rejection of such principles as multiculturalism and tolerance," according to the draft. "No references to 'creative freedom' and 'national originality' can justify behavior considered unacceptable from the point of view of Russia's traditional value system." That, the document stresses, is not an infringement on basic freedoms but merely the withdrawal of government support from "projects imposing alien values on society."

A Vilnius court on Monday satisfied a request by the Radio and Television Commission of Lithuania and sanctioned a ban on broadcasts of Russian TV channel RTR Planeta for three months.

Is your comment directed toward their lack of response to Russian provocation or are you questioning the legitimacy of the government itself?

i see, it's all Russia's fault

i hear a lot of this from some ukrainians:
you had a bad day - blame Russia
you president is thief - blame Russia
you did a coup d'etat - blame Russia
it went wrong - blame Russia
23 years of independence and your country is in ruins - blame Russia

i guess someone should start blaming himself - this will be the 1st step in the right direction
