New Article:

1. Introduction and Summary of the Economist Article

On April 4th, The Economist Magazine published an article titled: What Vladimir Putin
Misunderstood About Ukrainians. The article’s author, Peter Pomarentsev, explains that Ukraine
has struggled to find its identity and place in the world. However, what Putin and others
misunderstood is that although they may still be reconciling the magical and surreal elements
within their culture, there is not an east-west struggle as is typically portrayed because although
there are internal differences they are truly distinct from other nations. The Ukrainians are a
people affected by many different historical elements and inheriting different cultural elements
finding their way through history together. This is supported by recent events, where instead of
their alleged differences and contradictions being exploited by President Putin they have united
against the common foe.

2. Description of Úslar’s article and relation to the Economist one

The article is reminiscent of a similar piece published by the Venezuelan philosopher Arturo
Úslar Pietri titled: Does Latin America Exist? In this article he presents the unique situation of
the American man, as having been created by three cultures that interacted and mixed in a
smelting pot of ideas, memories, notions, fears, legends, customs and values. He also explains
how this situation of originality defines the Latin American man, and causes him to doubt his
place since he does not conform precisely to any of his founding cultures. This unique situation
prompted the title, where he questions the very existence of Latin America as a whole to show
the deep overarching “ontological concern” produced by the fact that it does not belong to any of
the three originating cultures but is in fact a new and original phenomenon.

3. Show how the articles are different sides of the same coin

Úslar characterizes this “ontological concern” as a uniquely Latin American problem. Though
certainly a unique circumstance, perhaps other peoples are faced with this confused origin and
overarching existentialism. Reading Mr. Pomerantsev’s article I felt that Ukraine had a similar
concern, given the different empires and peoples such as the slavs, tartars and jews that mixed to
conform the Ukrainians and led them to not belong entirely to any of its neighbors or originating
cultures.

4. Differentiate the Latin American struggle with the Ukrainian one to show where learning and
growth is possible
Despite sharing this varied origin and confused existence, the Ukrainian people have developed
over thousands of years (although the creation of the independent state is a relatively novel
phenomenon). Additionally, whereas Latin America was largely dominated by either the
Portuguese or Spanish empires before independence Ukraine has been a part of the Russian,
Soviet, Polish-Lithuanian, Austro-Hungarian and Rumanian empires as well as Ukraine itself.
Mr. Pomerantsev points to this diversity in rule as one of the causes of high social organization
and cohesion within Ukraine, given their natural distrust towards government.

5. Optimistic conclusion, seeking to show how ontologically affected peoples can learn from
each other and struggle for their freedom.

The bravery of the Ukrainian people and their capability to organize themselves to resist tyranny
serves an example to other nations struggling with this same ontological question and despotic
rulers all around the developing world. For us in Latin America, they can provide a blueprint and
inspiration for advancing liberty in our own countries. In Venezuela, for example, we were
greatly inspired by their Euromaidan protests to lead a similar social resistance movement agains
the Nicolas Maduro administration in early 2014. Although ultimately unsuccessful, it allowed
the Venezuelan people to see they could organize to resist despotic rule. This seems to be where
both Ukraine and Latin America can find meaning and begin to better understand their place in
the world, through the struggle of achieving strong societies that stand up to tyranny.

Editing again by line:

On April 4th, The Economist Magazine published an article titled: What Vladimir Putin
Misunderstood About Ukrainians.

The Economist Magazine published an article titled What Vladimir Putin Misunderstood
About Ukrainians on April 4th.

The article’s author, Peter Pomarentsev, explains that Ukraine has struggled to find its identity
and place in the world.

The article’s central argument is that Ukraine has struggle to find its identity and place in
the world.

However, what Putin and others misunderstood is that although they may still be reconciling the
magical and surreal elements within their culture, there is not an east-west struggle as is typically
portrayed because although there are internal differences they are truly distinct from other
nations.

However, what Putin, and others, misunderstood is that despite this struggle with their
identity they are not divided as is typically portrayed; because although they have internal
differences, they’re closer to each other than other nations since they share this struggle.

The Ukrainians are a people affected by many different historical elements and inheriting
different cultural elements finding their way through history together.

[eliminate]

This is supported by recent events, where instead of their alleged differences and contradictions
being exploited by President Putin they have united against the common foe.

Recent events support that despite their differences, they have a common destiny and
have united in the face of the adversity brought by Russia’s invasion.
The article is reminiscent of a similar piece published by the Venezuelan philosopher Arturo
Úslar Pietri titled: Does Latin America Exist?

In this article he presents the unique situation of the American man, as having been created by

Úslar explains the unique situation of the Latin American man as having been the product
of three cultures that interacted and mixed in a smelting pot of ideas, memories, notions,
fears, legends, customs and values.

He also explains how this situation of originality defines the Latin American man, and causes
him to doubt his place since he does not conform precisely to any of his founding cultures.

He also explains how this unique circumstance defines the Latin American man and
causes him to question his role since he does not conform precisely to any of his parent
cultures.

This unique situation prompted the title, where he questions the very existence of Latin America
as a whole to show the deep overarching “ontological concern” produced by the fact that it does
not belong to any of the three originating cultures but is in fact a new and original phenomenon.

This concern is what prompted the article’s title: Úslar questions the very existence of
Latin America as a whole to show the deep overarching “ontological concern” that
defines the region.

Úslar characterizes this “ontological concern” as a uniquely Latin American problem.

[eliminate and see above]

Though certainly a unique circumstance, perhaps other peoples are faced with this confused
origin and overarching existentialism.

Although the Ukrainian and Latin American peoples seem to share this confused
existence given a varied origin, the Ukrainians have developed over thousands of years
where Latin Americans (as known today) have really only been around for perhaps 500
years.

Additionally, whereas Latin America was largely dominated by either the Portuguese or Spanish
empires before independence Ukraine has been a part of the Russian, Soviet, Polish-Lithuanian,
Austro-Hungarian and Rumanian empires as well as Ukraine itself.

This diversity of rulers is pointed to as one of the causes of high social organization and
cohesion within Ukraine, given their natural distrust towards governments.

The bravery of the Ukrainian people and their capability to organize themselves to resist tyranny
serves an example to other nations struggling with this same ontological question and despotic
rulers all around the developing world.

The Ukrainians then seem to be an example of a mature people, finally finding it’s place
in the world and in history. The bravery they have displayed and their capacity to
organize themselves to resist tyranny serves as a shinning example to other nations
struggling with this same ontological question and despotic rulers throughout the
developing world.
For us in Latin America, they can provide a blueprint and inspiration for advancing liberty in our
own countries.

In particular for us in Latin America, they have provided a blueprint and inspiration for
advancing liberty in our own countries and defining our global role; this is not simply
conjecture as in Venezuela, for example, we were greatly inspired by their Euromaidan
protests to lead a similar social resistance movement against the Nicolas Maduro
administration in early 2014.

In Venezuela, for example, we were greatly inspired by their Euromaidan protests to lead a
similar social resistance movement agains the Nicolas Maduro administration in early 2014.

[see above]

Although ultimately unsuccessful, it allowed the Venezuelan people to see they could organize to
resist despotic rule.

Though the movement was ultimately unsuccessful, it marked the first of its kind after
years of complacence to the despotic rule of the Chávez and Maduro administrations and
showed the Venezuelan people they were capable of awakening.

This seems to be where both Ukraine and Latin America can find meaning and begin to better
understand their place in the world, through the struggle of achieving strong societies that stand
up to tyranny.

New article:

On April 4th, The Economist Magazine published an article titled:  What Vladimir Putin
Misunderstood About Ukrainians. The article’s central argument is that Ukraine has struggled to
find its identity and place globally. However, Putin and others misunderstood that despite this
struggle with their identity, they are not divided as is typically portrayed; although they have
internal differences, they’re closer to each other than other nations since they share this struggle.
Recent events support that despite their differences, they have a common destiny and have united
in the face of the adversity brought by Russia’s invasion.

The Economist article is reminiscent of a similar piece published by Venezuelan philosopher

Arturo Úslar Pietri: Does Latin America Exist? Úslar explains the unique situation of the Latin
American man as having been the product of three cultures that interacted and mixed in a
melting pot of ideas, memories, notions, fears, legends, customs, and values. He also explains
how this unique circumstance defines the Latin American man and causes him to question his
role since he does not conform precisely to any of his parent cultures. This concern is what
prompted the article’s title; Úslar questions the very existence of Latin America as a whole to
show the deep overarching “ontological concern” that defines the region.

Although Latin America faces a unique circumstance, perhaps other peoples are also affected by
a confused origin and overarching existentialism. Reading the Economist’s article, I felt that
Ukraine had a similar concern given the different empires and peoples (such as slavs, tartars, and
Jews) that mixed to conform the Ukrainians and led them to not belong entirely to any of their
neighbors or originating cultures.

Of course, despite the fact that the Ukrainian and Latin American peoples seem to share this
confused existence, given a varied origin, the Ukrainians have developed over thousands of
years. In contrast, Latin Americans (as known today) have only been around for perhaps 500
years. Additionally, whereas Latin America was primarily dominated by either the Portuguese or
Spanish empires before independence, Ukraine has been a part of the Russian, Soviet, Polish-
Lithuanian, Austro-Hungarian, and Rumanian empires and Ukraine itself. This diversity of rulers
is one of the causes of high social organization and cohesion within Ukraine, given their natural
distrust of governments.

The Ukrainians, then, seem to be more mature than Latin Americans since they are finally
finding their place in the world and history. Their bravery and capacity to organize themselves to
resist tyranny serve as a shining example to other nations struggling with this same ontological
question and despotic rulers throughout the developing world. In particular for us in Latin
America, they have provided a blueprint and inspiration for advancing liberty in our own
countries and defining our global role. This statement is not a simple conjecture: in Venezuela,
for example, we were greatly inspired by their Euromaidan protests to lead a similar social
resistance movement against the Nicolas Maduro administration in early 2014. Though the
movement was ultimately unsuccessful, it marked the first of its kind after years of complacence
with the despotic rule of the Chávez and Maduro administrations. It showed the Venezuelan
people that they were capable of awakening. It seems that where both Ukraine and Latin America
can find meaning and begin to understand their place in the world is through the struggle to
achieve strong societies that stand up to tyranny.
