UAlbany's Kizenko: Ukraine Violence Has Deep Roots

The deadly violence continues in Ukraine with unconfirmed reports of up to 70 deaths today in Kiev as protestors clash with government forces. For a closer look at the reasons behind the events in the former Soviet Republic, WAMC spoke with Dr. Nadieszda Kizenko, associate professor in the University at Albany history department. Kizenko says despite media reports in the West, there is much more behind the revolt beside public opposition to closer ties with Russia rather than Europe.
