→Dissolution of the Soviet Union
==Dissolution of the Soviet Union==
==Dissolution of the Soviet Union==
The nominal successor to the Soviet Union was the Commonwealth of Independent States; Ukraine joined on Dec. 8, 1991. Serious tensions soon emerged with Russia as [[Moscow]] took possession of the [[Black Sea]] fleet anchored at Sevastopol, while some Russian politicians wanted the [[Donbas]] and the [[Crimea]]; the latter, being in Russian hands since 1783, had been placed under Ukrainian administration by [[Nikita Khrushchev]], himself a Ukrainian, without a [[democracy|democratic]] referendum or the [[self-determination]] of the peoples involved in 1954.

==Euromaidan coup==
On November 21, 2013 the [[democracy|democratic]] government of the Ukraine rejected a [[European Union]] association agreement in favor of maintaining relations with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The path to securing a NATO naval base in Sevastopol on the Black Sea was effectively cut off. [[NED]]/[[Soros]-sponsored [[neo-fascist]] riots erupted.<ref>http://www.christianvoice.org.uk/index.php/2014mar14soros-behind-ukrainian-uprising/</ref>
