Some Ukrainian Links ...

In addition to KC Johnson's post at Cliopatria, I recommend that you read Tarik Ari's"Into the Zone? – The Coup in the Ukraine" at John Quiggin's blog. As Barista notes, the capacity of the net to put us into immediate contact with events in the Ukraine is extra-ordinary. The best English language sources of news, pictures, and interpretation of events that I have found are:
Brama;
A Fistful of Euros;
Foreign Notes;
Kyiv Post;
Le Sabot Post-Moderne;
Maidan;
Orange Ukraine;
The Periscope;
SCSU Scholars;
Ukraine Election, 2004; and
Ukraine Now.
