Seeking the Soul of Russia.

After denying responsibility for MH17 and pledging cooperation in any investigation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has gone all in with the Russian separatists in Ukraine. More Ukrainian aircraft have been shot down, Russia has begun shelling Ukraine from Russia, and the movement of heavy artillery from Russia into Ukraine is reported as "imminent." All of this has been in the face of increased sanctions from the U.S. and the E.U. The struggle within the Kremlin for the soul of Russia has turned hard anti-West once again.
