The Minsk peace process, which is taking place against the backdrop of renewed and receding hostilities in the Donbass, gave ghostly hope for the restoration of normal life in the region, as well as for the normalization of Russian-Ukrainian relations, as well as relations between Russia and the West.

Events of the Ukrainian Revolution 2013-2014 led not only to political changes in Ukraine, but also to the transformation of its map. So, the Crimean peninsula returned to Russia, and in the east the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, which make up part of the lands of historical Novorossiya, were proclaimed.
