Switzerland and Ukraine have more in common than you might think

Eduard Nadtochiy teaches Russian history, culture, literature and philosophy at the Slavic Languages Department of the University of Lausanne. His father is Ukrainian. However, he grew up in Moscow. He then spent two years as a teaching assistant at the University of Kharkov, Ukraine's second-largest city. Unlike Russians and most Ukrainians, he is a member of the Ukrainian Church, which is attached to Rome. This makes him particularly well-suited to the complex exercise of comparing Switzerland and Ukraine.
