National sovereignty in Ukraine has become bit of a joke
lately. In one corner they have the Europeans pushing for a trade deal to get
under the N.A.T.O influence. On the other hand, Russia is pushing them to stay
out of the European influence because Russia sees Ukraine as a red line. It is
absolutely imperative that Ukraine stays under Russian cloud of influence for
many reasons. One of which is that Ukraine is a major country bordering the Eastern
Europe. If the N.A.T.O manages to establish their base on the bordering Russian
areas, it will be a death call for Russia. So the Russians are stirring up
trouble and organizing an armed insurgency that has engulfed the eastern Ukraine.
Europe has threatened to back out of the trade deal if Ukraine doesn’t stabilize
its borders. Broadly speaking the national sovereignty of Ukraine is in
shambles.
I guess the answer to the blank will be: During the second Red Scare public and government suspicious of Communism led to the blacklisting of people in various industries.
