    Some great lessons. I personally will be using some form of Lesson 2 - What Do People Say? (work with 6 letters written from various people in the 20s of the causes of the G.D.) and Lesson 3.What Really Caused the Great Depression? (create a budget sheet before and after the G.D. and identify tradeoffs made. They have pdf.s available as well as smartboard material.

  • But a maidan now means in Ukrainian what the Greek word agora means in English: not just a marketplace where people happen to meet, but a place where they deliberately meet, precisely in order to deliberate, to speak, and to create a political society

  • Yanukovych rescinded most of the dictatorship laws, lawless violence by the regime, which started in November, continued into February

  • a rival project, based in Moscow, called the Eurasian Union.
  • Putin wants Ukraine in his Eurasian Union, which means that Ukraine must be authoritarian, which means that the Maidan must be crushed.
  • dictatorship laws of January 16 were obviously based on Russian models
  • The Eurasian Union is the enemy of the European Union, not just in strategy but in ideology.
  • Rather than rejecting totalitarian ideologies, Eurasianism calls upon politicians of the twenty-first century to draw what is useful from both fascism and Stalinism.
  • taken Putin’s campaign against gay rights and transformed it into a weapon against European integration
  • Apart from the Jews, whose suffering was by far the worst, the main victims of Nazi policies were not Russians but Ukrainians and Belarusians.
  • After Stalin’s death communism took on a more and more ethnic coloration, with people who wished to revive its glories claiming that its problem was that it had been spoiled by Jews. The ethnic purification of the communist legacy is precisely the logic of National Bolshevism, which is the foundational ideology of Eurasianism today.
  • Ukraine is not a theater for the historical propaganda of others or a puzzle from which pieces can be removed. It is a major European country whose citizens have important cultural and economic ties with both the European Union and Russia. To set its own course, Ukraine needs normal public debate, the restoration of parliamentary democracy, and workable relations with all of its neighbors.
