ethnic russians in ukraine

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: I started my PhD work back in 1989. And as you can imagine, the most interesting thing in the world was that the Wall came down and the Soviet empire was collapsing, and the nationalities of the former Soviet Union were starting to explode. I did my research on Russians in Ukraine. That was actually the title of my dissertation in 1994. "The Politics of Ethnicity: Russians in the New Ukraine." Can you believe that?
