In this photo taken Tuesday, March 11, 2014, men debate as people gather in a pro Russian camp in Luhansk, eastern Ukraine.

But here in Ukraine’s coal-fired industrial east, where Russians have lived for more than two centuries, a potent mix of economic depression, ethnic solidarity and nostalgia for the certainties of the Soviet past have many demanding the right to become part of Russia as well (AP Photo/Sergei Grits)
