Unlike the last Ukrainian presidential election, the upcoming vote in Ukraine appears (at least for now) to not be as great a focal point of geopolitical confrontation. For now, the existing differences seem better managed and less confrontational. A Nov. 19 Russo-Ukrainian agreement on Russian gas to Ukraine arguably serves (especially in the short term) to lessen the chance for another European gas crisis, as had previously occurred. On this issue, the potential for a future breakdown, nevertheless remains evident. Read the story here. Dec 1, 2009 at 11:19 |

Alan Elsner writes: The opening of the trial of the 89-year-old John Demjanjuk in Germany on Monday has evoked mixed responses. As the son of a Holocaust survivor and author of "The Nazi Hunter," a novel about bring former Nazis to justice, I instinctively feel that there should be no statute of limitations for perpetrators of genocide. On the other hand, seeing this old man brought into the courtroom lying on a gurney writhing and complaining of pain makes one wonder whether the whole exercise will make people pity him rather than the victims of his alleged crimes.

Mira Bar-Hillel writes: I once met John Demjanjuk. We did not speak but the memory will haunt me for ever. It was July 1993, five years after the Ukrainian peasant-turned-SS trooper was sentenced to death in Israel for being “Ivan the Terrible”, a notoriously sadistic guard at the Treblinkadeath camp, where 870,000 Jews were gassed. Read the story here. We remind that Demjanjuk goes on trial in Germany today. Nov 30, 2009 at 13:18 |

Others, including the Russians and some scholars, dispute this characterization. Read the story here. Nov 30, 2009 at 10:11 |
