    The document discusses nationalism in Russia and Ukraine and how it has affected both countries. It provides background on the Soviet Union, noting that it consisted of 15 republics including Russia and Ukraine. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, which likely caused Russians to feel the loss of this large union. Ukraine gained independence in 1991 as well, but has faced divisions between eastern areas with Russian ties and western areas moving toward the EU. Corruption was rampant and led to events like the Orange Revolution, which challenged election results. Nationalism continues to influence politics and relations between the two countries.
