Mikhail Zeleny - the correct name of a country is the name it chooses to call itself - PERIOD! Perhaps, you would prefer to call the US as the "American Colonies of Great Britain?

Ukraine aquired her independence - she is no longer brutally dominated by a Godless, murderous and genocidal neighbor.

FYI: For anyone not familar with the bigoted, ethnically hate-filled insistance, by some, of the useage of the article "The" before "Ukraine" - it is similar to calling an adult African-American male "boy" It is a slur that is meant to demean and "put Ukrainians in their place"; to remind them that they are "less than" or inferior to ethnic Russians. These bigots would deny Ukraine its history, language and culture. Under the Tsars and especially under the Soviet Commissars, Russification of Ukraine was brutal and never-ending. I hope that The Luger Forum Moderators will not tolerate ethnic hate speech to be slipped into the dialog on this wonderful site. MM
