Well, yep, Ukraine did not succeed to become a democratic country after the USSR. Just like Russia itself did not. Or Belarus, if we think about it. The scars are so deep that it's always hard to make a country stable enough to be democratic after an experience like being a part of the Soviet Union.
However, I have a feeling this case is gonna be pretty similar to Georgia's. Russia will take Krim and that's it.
