How much did people in Kiev talk about a general failure of governance over the years in Ukraine? Are people actually concerned about poor economic conditions and bad institutions? Or was it just mostly a feeling of populism and misrepresentation?

In the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye two days ago a synagogue and Jewish community center had a Molotov cocktail hurled its way. There was little damage. Also, at least one Rabi in Ukraine has urged Jews in Kiev to flee. And you have the far-right Freedom Party that has vowed to rid Ukraine of the "Russian-Jewish mafia". It's too early to tell whether the fire bombing is isolated or a sign of things to come. But antisemitism is ever present in the east and west of the country. http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/1.575732
