  13.  @thomaslunde5014  Sure. There was no mention of Ukraine in the context of a country or people before around 1898 or so - I forgot exact date - this was first mention. So thus there is no history before that. Present day Ukraine usually borrows stuff from history of Poland or Russia or mentions stuff that occurred on lands present day Ukraine has. Around Russian revolution, Ukraine as a concept was become more mainstream - as separate people. Multiple "Ukraine" were created and fought each other, Poles, Russians etc. The concept was not even close to today - most people did not view themselves as Ukrainians - as one nation. After Soviet Union and Polish - Soviet war, lands of present day Ukraine were part of Poland and Russia. Ethnically Polish part had minority of Ukrainians on all lands that were in Poland. In Soviet Union many sections were majority Ukrainian. What is interesting is that SU actively promoted Ukrainian language (!) and for example many signs were in Ukrainian. SU was multicultural and it added new Ukrainian idea nicely. In Poland, super progressive for the time, Ukrainian became regional language - in 1930s kids learned both Polish and Ukrainian at school (!) About half of leaders of SU were ethnic Ukrainians for about half of its existence (!) So saying Ukrainians were abused by SU is wrong - especially given that SU was ... run by Ukrainians. Contrast this with present day nationalist Ukraine - imagine them treating Russians same way Ukrainians were treated in Soviet Union! I not only see removal of Russian language but also of culture etc. Clearly Ukraine is a country today one does not want to support just on humanitarian basis.
