An article that promises to explain and in particular:Link:https://www.opendemocracy.net/od-rus...raine-was-lostDuring spring and summer 2014, ‘eastern Ukraine’ as an imagined entity ceased to exist. The cities of Donetsk and Luhansk became the capitals of the self-proclaimed ‘People’s Republics’, directly experiencing the horror of armed conflict. Kharkiv, however, avoided this fate, and Dnipropetrovsk emerged as a symbol of loyalty to the Ukrainian state—the ‘heart of Ukraine’. The following question naturally arose: why did the cities of eastern Ukraine take such different trajectories? Why didn’t Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk become Donetsk and Luhansk?

A first-hand account of life in the Crimea, in November 2015, by a resident:https://www.opendemocracy.net/od-rus...-bright-future
In summary:In the 15 months since Crimea was annexed by Russia, Ukraine’s former resort-cum-military base has undergone severe changes. Extremism investigations, kidnapping, intimidation and harassment are all features of working in politically sensitive professions in Crimea. The central bureaucracy and government has been mired in scandal over indecision and incompetence. Meanwhile, the peninsula is experiencing a crisis of infrastructure, with healthcare under pressure and food prices rising due to changes in supply chains. Electricity is available for limited periods due to the blockade and disruption on the border with Ukraine. Thousands of people have left, whether for political and economic reasons.

List of the streets to be renamed in Rovno, Western Ukraine, following 'decommunisation' process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivne
first line: Pukhova street renamed to Oleksandra Muzichka street. In case you forgot: Oleksandr Muzichko
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksandr_Muzychko
was a petty criminal and notoruous maidanero killed by Ukrainian police in 2014. The reason behind this particular renaming is complete mistery for me.
