and, which is more important, people, found themselves abroad overnight, taken away, this time indeed, from their historical motherland.What can be said to this? Things change: countries and communities are no exception.

How should we treat that? There is only one answer: with respect!You want to establish a state of your own: you are welcome! But what are the terms? I will recall the assessment given.
by one of the most prominent political figures of new Russia, first mayor of Northeast Mobile Number List Saint Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak. As a legal expert who believed that every decision must be legitimate, in 1992, he shared the following opinion: the republics that were founders of the Union, having denounced the 1922 Union Treaty, must return to the boundaries they had had before joining the Soviet Union. All other Territorial acquisitions are subject to discussion, negotiations, given that the ground has been revoked.In other words, when you leave, take what you brought with you.
This logic is hard to refute. I will just say that the Bolsheviks had embarked on reshaping boundaries even before the Soviet Union, manipulating with territories to their liking, in disregard of people's views.The Russian Federation recognized the new geopolitical realities: and not only recognized, but, indeed, did a lot for Ukraine to establish itself as an independent country. Throughout the difficult 1990's and in the new of itself as a separate nation at a certain moment.
