Connections: What's Going On In Ukraine?

In this hour, we dive into the current events happening in Ukraine. There's a new president, elected Sunday, who happens to be the country's "chocolate king", but pro-Russian, eastern Ukrainian cities are claiming they were not included in the election. What's next? We find out from Randy Stone, director of the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies at the University of Rochester, and Matthew Leone, a professor of history who specializes in Stalinist culture and mass media in Russia.
