Ukrainian Students Was Worried About What Was Going on in the Ukraine, You Know?

The School of Oriental and African Studies student union did a big takeover argument two years ago. They basically are imposing a kind of a Western centric understanding of Africa on the students rather than maybe a knowledgeable one. It's just that they were kind of being insensitive. I mean, it's like you just can't ignore certain things that happened in the Soviet Union. You can't just brush it away just because the dominant historiography in the West is that, you know, it was bad.
