This is really regressive politics. I remember this conflict going on in the early 1990’s, as was the one in Transnistria/Moldavia.

It says a lot about post-Soviet politics that such disputes permanently smoulder and flare up again and again. I can agree with Putin in his statement that the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 was the “Geopolical catastrophe of the century”.

The death of Tito brought on its own geopolitical disaster. He did the best he could, but you don’t always realize in advance that one of your heirs may be a monster.
