I lived in Kyiv for over a decade, and worked closely with NGOs working on the developing fledgling democracy. Before, I left Kyiv in 2009 I embarked on a writing project. This is about my about my personal experiences and the project.
Today, Russian dictator, war criminal and international terrorist Putin turns 74. He now definitely has one year less left to live.
When Putin invaded Ukraine, did he think this would become his last war? Of course not. He has plans that go way beyond Ukraine.

Well folks, this last week was one learning new things out of necessity. About two weeks ago I finished the manuscript to the first volume of my multi-volume autobiographical work entitled "My Ukrainian Episodes".

Notes to the pictures on the front cover follow in comments.
Russia only understands strength. This is the truth the West refuses to accept. Enough. Show some teeth. Next time a russian jet violates your airspace โ shoot it down. Next time a russian ship comes close to your undersea cables โ sink it. Russia won't do shit, only whine.
