he's talked about a creation of he eurasian union, and to some end, that is going to be dominated by russia. it's an entity that doesn't make sense without ukraine for commercial, economic, and strategic reasons. the ultimate goal i think for putin is to bring ukraine into russia's orbit as part of this eurasian unit. i also believe that he understands that this is something that is -- he's incapable of doing at this point. the goal in the immediate term is to at least create some leverage over the formation of a government in kiev, so that the government that ultimately forms is, as a minimum, neutral and not hostile to russia. so the game here is for ukraine over the long term. we are in initial phases of that. second point i would make is that there is a genuine pride in russia today, and it's not only because of crimea. crimea, i've been in moscow a couple of times over the past couple of months. what really disturbed russians across the political spectrum was the unrelenting criticism of russia in the runup to the olympics, that they felt was unjustified, that was directed again
