This could be done with a reasonable explanation: after all, Jews have the same status in Ukrainian political myths as Russians in the Baltic ones: they are convenient scapegoats for the local former communists used to avoid inconvenient questions about their own past. So, in order for the purebred Ukrainians not to feel past subjugation, the monument is removed (this is fictional). Would you understand the problems Israel will have with this decision? Now why would you expect Russia to react differently to a similar humiliation? What really puzzles me is the absence of human reaction from normal Europeans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
