  27.  @philzmusic8098  he’s given interviews on it, and the Ukraine has been called the Ukraine for generations. It’s only since 2022 that our media received government orders to start calling it Ukraine instead, and start spelling Kiev and Lvov with a Y. Maybe we should drop the “The” in “The United States of America” and just call it “United States of America”. Then we can call out anyone who uses “The” as a foreign spy and traitor. If you understood Ukrainian history and actually knew what the word Ukraine meant, you would understand why it’s called The Ukraine. Ukraine means borderlands, or frontier, hence The Ukraine. Ukrainian history I’d long, tumultuous and complex, and there have been a myriad of different versions of Ukraine over the centuries all with different borders, sometimes with multiple different versions existing at once. When the USSR was formed after the civil and white invasion wars were won, the first politburo contained a number of Ukrainians who were loyal to Lenin, and Lenin took a personal interest in Ukraine because of this and toured in shortly after the peace settlement. Under their advice and guidance, he drew up the borders for a United Ukraine for the first time in its history, made Ukrainian one of its official languages for the first time and made it mandatory to teach Ukrainian in schools in the parts of the country where Ukrainian was spoken, again for the first time in it’s history. Lenin gave speeches underlying the importance of strong Ukraine and impressing upon them that this has to be The Ukraine, not a Ukraine or one of the many Ukraines that existed in the past, but The Ukraine. And everyone in Ukraine has called it The Ukraine ever since, and many still do.
