Why Ukrainians are fighting so fiercely for power

When I look at how some of us, having received minimal power and recognition, begin to fight furiously with each other for the opportunity to get more, I somehow think that this has something to do with hundreds of years of enslavement.

The strength with which most of our officials and part of civil society fight each other for power and influence can only be compared to the scene in Dante's Inferno when he and Virgil go down to the wide, dark, dirty river Styx, where souls are mired in mud.

Those who succumbed to anger fight, bite, and drown each other in the mud, while those who suppressed their anger lie underwater, muttering words of anger through bubbles.
