It’s called rule of law, democracy - it's the basis of the European Union. It's what the Ukrainians are fighting for - and what Putin is fighting against.
What a remarkable mini-memoir, fascinating and informative. You've added depth and detail to our understanding of recent Ukrainian history and the movement toward Europe. Thank you!
Have you two considered writing a joint memoir and having it published in book format? It would make fascinating reading and do much to raise the understanding and appreciation of Ukraine's battle to totally regain its freedom and strengthen its civil liberties and basic human rights.
And yeah, a lot of the 'keys' to understanding Ukraine anno 2025 for sure can/must be found in understanding Ukraine anno 1998, 2014 and so on.... Ukraine is not unique in this, of course, it's just that very few of us (silly foreigners, hehe) we're in the country that long ago....
Thank you so much. Well, you know, it's one of the few nice things about having been around for a while - you get a bit of perspective on things. And I'm very glad that you find it of value, really appreciate your words.
I really enjoy the depth of knowledge and thoroughness of your essays. I am not especially ignorant, but I find myself much better informed after reading you work. Thank you.

According to the comments on the linked Frank Martela article, it was dismissed today.
Interesting. This is a tiny glimpse into the turbulent but exciting romantic times when I lived in Kyiv. Thanks.
'Islam Karimov – a brutal, primitive, vindictive little shite' - can't argue with that!
