::If you ever do visit Russia or St. Petersburg and meet Putin, remind him of this quote of [[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn]]: From The [[Gulag Archipelago]]: "We must leave the decision to the Ukrainians themselves. Since the two peoples have not succeeded over the centuries in living harmoniously, it is up to us to show sense. We must leave the decision to the Ukrainians themselves—let federalists and separatists try their persuasions. Not to give way would be foolhardy and cruel. And the gentler, the more tolerant, the more careful to explain ourselves we are now, the more hope there will be of restoring unity in the future."
