  1. those who cry "it was a gift" for some reason ignore the iron fact - such gifts are impossible. If it was a whim of one man - the man would be moved from his position. If it was a whim of a group of people, there would start an internal struggle. The struggle wasn't there, the decision wasn't undone so it just logically can not be a whim. If khruschev wanted to make a gift, the other party members would say "well and we don't" and you can do nothing about it. So the decision was approved by the majority and it's surely not true that ukraine was a "favorite republic" of the majority. The decision was obviously made by some undeniable reasons. Only russians cry about the mythical "gift" to devalue the event.

  2. When the ussr dissolved the question about the borders stood there and russia agreed with its borders. It doesn't matter that "ough they didn't know the country would dissolve when they transferred the territory" it doesn't matter, because at the moment the question emerged and was already solved 30 years ago.
