The Cohens and Petros of this world indicate that Vynnychenko's 1917
comment about Russian liberalism stopping at the Ukrainian border still has
merit. Many EU and US non Stalinist leftists of various persuasions like
Cohen and Petro are also logically inconsistent. Specifically, they apply
one standard to Ukraine and the Kremlin and another to the rest of the
world and the White House. Supporting the ant-colonial violence of the
colonized against various American sponsored dictators all over the world,
such leftists condemn or ignore the anti colonial violence of the colonized
against Russian sponsored dictators. Such pro-Kremlin liberal academics and
leftists who condemn Euromaidan effectively condone continued Russian
hegemony over Ukraine and both seem to think this is consistent with the
principles they claim to represent.
