Re: [Cz-L] Ukraine

A very often made argument. Unfortunately it doesn't mean too much.
In Western countries those that are not voting for anti-semitic and xenophobic parties hold (in general) moderate views.
In Eastern Europe this is not the case (look at opinion polls, talkbacks etc. in any of the former East Block countries).
Anti-semitism and xenophobia where practised and hidden by the communist rulers so people are aware of what they can publicly express and what they should not (and that includes voting).
