Our guest is Vadim Furmanov, originally from Ukraine, to discuss the current state of football in Ukraine since the Russian intervention of 2014. What has happened to the clubs of Crimea and other areas in Eastern Ukraine now under the control of pro-Russian entities?

Some famous clubs, such as Shakhtar Donetsk and Dnipro have been impacted, along with Tavriya Simferopol, the first champion of an independent Ukraine in 1992.

Check out Vadim’s recent guest posts on Uruguay’s Olympic gold victories at Paris in 1924 and Amsterdam in 1928.
