Evidently, the door swings both ways on the topic of sovereign rights. This is primarily a protest (At least I hope it is.), but, they have a point. This is what I have been writing about. These entire region can be sliced and diced into little areas of ethnicity. This march toward ethnic domination of Eastern Europe is a very slippery slope. Here we go again with Yugoslavia.
This is exactly the hazard these people are facing when the trend is elevating one ethnic group over another begins. Just as a point of interest, "Russian speaking people" live in the USA, too. Ask the Russian Orthodox Church. I am sure they have member roles that can validate that fact. Why RT media at all if there weren't Russians in the USA?
What a mess. The current Ukraine government should recognize these ethnic divisions of the country as effective protests while they are also talking to the upcoming elections.
The country has to decide on political parties and not small ethnic divisions that define their political party system. Politics is not about ethnicity, it is about sovereignty, citizen rights within their constitution and the freedoms Ukrainians seek in their lives.
Elections are about economics, jobs and all those problems that currently are the reality of the Ukrainian people. The nation has to be a unified country embracing all ethnic identities without conflict and hatred of each other. The Ukraine's strength will come from unity and not divisions.
There is also danger in estranging the right wing groups. They cannot be rejected by the very government they helped instill. These folks got rid of the corrupt Russian opportunists and revealed the assault on the sovereign state of the country. They have a right to be heard at the very least and be embraced as people that care about their nation.

"Donetsk residents! (click here) English brothers! The decisive moment has come!" says the online appeal (which makes no distinction between England and Wales), according to Novosti Donbassa website. The campaign appears to parody Crimea's recent referendum on joining Russia, which has resonated across eastern Ukraine.
The heavily industrialised city was established in the late 19th Century as a foundry run by John Hughes, a native of Wales. Locals called him John Yuz, so the town was initially named Yuzovka.
"We demand a referendum on returning Yuzovka to its historical fold as part of the UK! Glory to John Hughes and his city! God save the Queen!" the campaign adds.
