Second, isn't Russia's economy looking up?

Once again, Russia is being ignorantly equated to the Soviet Union.
Ukraine is a country of over 40,000,000 people in Eastern Europe. In terms of area, it is the largest country located entirely in Europe (the Russian part of Europe is bigger than Ukraine). Geographical ignorance is one of my biggest pet peeves.
And no, Ukraine's economy is not looking up. The average household income is around $4,000, and the distribution is even worse, as many of those contributing to the rise in average income are the corrupt businessmen.
I realize that this is a divergence from the topic at hand, but this mistake occurs entirely too often.
