Unfortunately, the Russian language dominates the Ukrainian Internet. But Ukrainians slowly forget the Russian language and speak Ukrainian.

The Ukrainian language protects Ukrainians from Russian aggression and there is a way to peace.

The colonization of the world by the West after the Cold War helped spread the liberal democracy

Is this the end of the story? The West has won forever?

I think without any greater reading around the area I'd say it would be a given almost that history has certainly not ended with western neo/-liberalism. International world affairs are, broadly speaking, still reliant on the notion of state craft and international economic relations, but increasingly you see competing paradigms of governance and government that challenge the idea of social liberal democracy.

Russia and China embody authoritarian rejections of the liberal democratic state. Islamist separatism is as rife as ever, there are 'nominal" democracies throughout Africa and the Middle East which in reality are just dictatorships with a little d (Turkey anyone?)

Not to say the antithesis of that book, the The Clash of Civilisations, is any truer, though. You won't see any relativism from me though. I'd rather be in the west than anywhere else in the world.

No; the "winning side" in world war 2 didn't come up with anything new in this regard.
It just "favored democracy to some extent" over other doctrines.

Democracy can even be shown in primitive tribal societies: even gangs that allow for many opinions to run their actions proves longer survival and less inner conflict. It's not a "western thing"; but you can say that "western people saw lots of warfare, death, poverty and misery, that highlighted the democratic path for them".

In other words; wisdom sparks in peoples' minds when they see severe kinds of events. V for Vendetta has this idea; in the movie and the comic.

I think you have the cart before the horse.
