Actually, I would say it started even before 2014. The so-called "Orange Revolution" and that dickhead Yushchenko were precursors to all that followed in 2014. By the way, were is that brainless braided head Tymosenko these days?

The subcurrent has always been there; it all goes back to Bandera and WWII. It's true there were earlier attempts at Maidan-like revolutions (the one you refer to). I believe Tymoshenko is probably busy laundering "funds for Ukraine" and has been spotted in ever more exotic cars whilst advocating for Ukraine-NATO membership.

Is there anything common to Russians and Ukrainians, perhaps I should ask, to all Eastern Europeans, that would let them all live in peace?

Of course there is. Almost everyone wants prosperity and peace. Among the people this is true everywhere in the world, not just slavs. But bad ideas and bad actors get in the way and spread lies and false promises to the people. Right now that bad actor is NATO and the west trying to use Ukraine as a battering ram against their geopolitical adversary (Russia) through ceaseless propaganda and false promises.

What is common is that they speak similar if not the same language. They have a shared slavic history and many of them are Orthodox sharing the same ideas about religion. Slavs tend to be high in traditional values and patriotism compared to Western Europe. They also share many of the same historical trauma (WWII). There is a lot to unite around but slavs are also easy to divide as we can see--in that way they are not any different than other people.
