At last over 40 years of contention between Russia and Norway settling a border dispute not on land but at sea, this will also calm another small part of the world too, just like what Russia did for China when China hosted the Olympics back in 2008 with those small territorial enclaves near Nagibovo area in the Jewish Autonomous region of Russia north of the Chinese Region of Heilongjiang. Now Russia Solving this dispute will bring about more improved relation's with Norway. So finally lets hope that this will bring about more productive use such as fisheries and also fossil fuels in the the Barents Sea. Good luck Russia and Norway.

With Ukraine the logical step in 1991 would have been including Crimea and Donbas as Republics of the Russian Federation. Now hundreds of thousands of Russian speaking Ukrainians are emigrating to the Russian Federetion, something logical given the fact that income per head in Russia is twice higher than in Ukraine. Given the economic crisis in Ukraine and the improving situation in Russia, emigration of Ukrainians to Russia will increase next year.
