Gremlion: Simple statistic. [url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GDP_PPP_per_capita_CIS.svg]https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GDP_PPP_per_capita_CIS.svg[/url]
Belorussia had worse start and showed comparable to Russia growth. Ukraine - stalemate for twenty years.
No argument here, i was questioning Belarus being the best, especially taking into account Baltic countries.
Gremlion: Poroshenko is the sponsor of Yanukovich and one of oligarchs, which stalled country to zero growth. So, can you tell me with straight face that you got better government after third revolution?
yep. Not by much, but it is better.
Gremlion: And western media tired to excuse about Ukrainian photoshop skills.

Your article says that there are no real proofs that Babay is a russian soldier, nothing about photoshop there as far as i can see (although, i've read only first part of it).
Gremlion: Ok, there is lie in news. But animation for kids? Films? Heck, half of Ukraine would prefer to see them on Russian language. It's like Canada banning every channel on English language and leave only French ones because of Fox news.
70% of films and movies on ukrainian channels _are_ in Russian anyway. And your comparison sucks a bit - no one bans russian-language channels, ban applies only to russian (as of origin country) channels and only because of news. Stupid way of dealing with them though, can't argue with that, kind of like Russia bans ukrainian artists and vice versa.
