It’s very long , detailed and as a historical document fascinating.

If you skip to the last few paragraphs he gives an insight into the failed state that Ukraine has become since the Maiden protests.

Thanks Vlad, they will never educate US citizens on these matters.

this is an excellent post and deserves to be stickied. i would encourage everyone to read this speech as it weaves historical and cultural events up to the present day and implicates the obama administration in the ukranian coup that has led to the current strife. it's no surprise that the difficulties common men are experiencing are remarkably similar, as those orchestrating the discord are the very same gangster oligarchs.

Putin never overtly stated, but it's implicit if you read between the lines, that the corruption he speaks of in Ukraine must have outside players for it to be worrisome Who might those players be? The first coming to my mind is the Joe Biden crime family and "the most brilliant guy" old Joe knows, Hunter Biden.

Of course there must be others, and in due time we may know their names, ESPECIALLY with the dump of leaked data from Credit Suisse bank. Let the festivities begin.... they won't be able to walk down the street.

This resulted in the participation of Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis in the terrorist groups in the North Caucasus and the increasingly loud territorial claims to Russia.

I started to read it but it's loooong. Can anyone give some cliffs notes or bullet points in summary?

17th century? 1917? 2017? Article 17? February 17th?

That's a lot of coincidental 17s.
