  7.  @tihonannenkov4114  no there was no Ukraine. In 1917 after the revolution they tried to make the Украинская Народная Республика/Ukrainian Peoples Republic. It was not recognized by the world. In 1918 like half a year later it pretty much got taken over by radical nationalists. Ok to be fair they somehow managed to reinstate the "government" a year later. But de facto it stoped existing in1920. And this "country" except for the short period of being controlled by radical nationalists, was not motivated by the nationality. So if you want to argue that even when being very generous a country that existed less than 4 years and actually was not even working properly for the majority of those 4 years (pretty much worked somewhat properly bust over a year) is to be counted as Ukraine existing, well okay. I do not accept that it was a seperate/souvreign country. I agree with the vast majority of other cointries at that time, that it was a "natural state" of a country "reorganizing" after a revolution. Nobody expected that it is gonna survove on its own. And dont get me wrong, I hate the bolsheviks, the October Revolution, communism and the rest of that bs. The revolution was one of the biggest mistakes and tragedies pf the last century. But I am not gonna sit and pretend that there was an independent country of Ukraine. And I am not from Russia. I was born in Ukraine, went to school there but lucky me and my family managed to get of that hole 20+ years ago and now we live in a real european country and not in a dirt cheap parody.
