Ukraine and the divisions between the western part of Ukraine and the southern Russian speaking Crimea region
02/26/2014
About 30% of Ukrainians have Russian background and the people in Crimea see themselves as closer to Russia. Under the Hapsburgs eastern Ukraine developed strong nationalism. Many of the protesters were from the east. Many educated Ukrainians including those with Russian background see their goal as becoming an open tolerant democracy.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
