UhOhXplode,
Do you know that about 10% of the Ukrainian citizens work in Russia, because they can't feed their families in Ukraine? It's not about ethnical problems (although there is no big genetical difference between Russians and малороссиянами), it's about economics.
If a man has a (good) job in Ukraine, he thinks he may spit at Russia. But the truth is that incomes of the Ukrainian economics are just good business with Russia. So the "lucky" man with a good salary doesn't understand that a part of his salary comes from Russia (by the complicated system of money movement).
So we have two large groups of the people: the first one understands that they have a job only because of business with Russian partners. The second doesn't understand that, they think like "everything happens by itself." Also there is the third small group. They need an opportunity to rob ordinary people and appropriate the businesses of those oligarchs who lost the game.
