*How Ukrainians became citizens*
by Alexander J. Motyl [professor
<http://cgcg.rutgers.edu/cgcg/motyl.htm>
of political science and deputy director of the Center for Global Change
and Governance at Rutgers University. Among his books are Imperial Ends:
the decline, collapse, and revival of empires (Columbia 2001
<http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cup/catalog/data/023112/0231121105.HTM>)

According to Motyl, massive popular protest against Ukraine's
fraudulent election is a
pivotal moment in the country's - and Europe's - history.
