UKRAINE A SOVIET CREATION

There is a lot of brouhaha about Ukrainian nationalism in the media History however shows that "Ukraine" (at least in its present geographical contours) has never had all the attributes of a nation state

In fact the only historic period when Ukraine in its current geographic form has existed was when it was created in the 20th century by the Soviet Union

Here is a brief history of Ukraine for nearly 1000 years

Kyivan (Kievan) Rus
The "history of Ukarine" which is really coterminous with the history of the Eastern Slavs begins with the formation of the state of Kievan Rus, the first East Slavic state. It reached its peak in the early to mid-11th century. By the end of the 10th century, the Kyivan domain covered a vast area from the edge of the open steppe in Ukraine , it did not develop central political institutions but remained a loose aggregation of principalities . Kyiv reached its apogee in the reigns of Volodymyr the Great and his son Yaroslav I (the Wise).Following Yaroslav's death, Kyiv entered a long period of decline Succession struggles and princely rivalries eroded Kyiv's political statehood

Kievan Rus was thus an Eastern Slavic state (which today is made up of three nation states of Russia Ukraine and Belorussia and Kiev was its capital The very idea of a semi naked dancing Jew named Zhelensky claiming to "represent" a non existent "Ukranian history" is preposterous

Lithuanian and Polish rule
By the middle of the 14th century, Ukrainian territories were under the rule of three external powers—the Golden Horde, the grand duchy of Lithuania, and the kingdom of Poland.Within the grand duchy the Ruthenian (Ukrainian and Belarusian) lands initially retained considerable autonomy. The pagan Lithuanians themselves were increasingly converting to Orthodoxy and assimilating into Ruthenian culture.

Direct Polish rule in Ukraine in the 1340s and for two centuries thereafter was limited to Galicia (a historical and geographic region spanning what is now southeastern Poland and western Ukraine) . Lithuania itself was soon drawn into the orbit of Poland following the dynastic linkage of the two states in 1385/86 and the baptism of the Lithuanians into the Latin (Roman Catholic) church.

Thus nearly 500 years ago there was a clear cut split between Eastern (Russian Orthodox ) and Western (Catholic ) "Ukraine" This split has carried on to the modern age right up to 2022

In 1569, by the Union of Lublin, the dynastic link between Poland and Lithuania was transformed into a constitutional union of the two states as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. At the same time, the greater part of the Ukrainian territories was detached from Lithuania and annexed directly to Poland. This act hastened the differentiation of Ukrainians and Belarusians (the latter of whom remained within the grand duchy) and, by eliminating the political frontier between them, promoted the closer integration of Galicia and the eastern Ukrainian lands.

Over three centuries of Lithuanian and Polish rule, Ukraine by the middle of the 17th century had undergone substantial social evolution. The princely and boyar families tracing their roots to Kyivan Rus had largely merged and become part of the privileged noble estate of Lithuania and Poland. Long attached to the Orthodox religion and the Ruthenian language and customs, the Ruthenian nobility in the late 16th century became increasingly prone to Polonization, a process often initiated by education in Jesuit schools and conversion to Roman Catholicism.

Since the 13th century many Poles, Armenians, Germans, and Jews had settled in the cities and towns, where the Ukrainians were often reduced to a minority.

In the period of Polish rule the conditions of the peasantry steadily deteriorated. Peasant unrest increased toward the end of the 16th century, especially in eastern Ukraine.The sparsely settled lands were opened to Polish proprietorship for the first time, and large latifundia (agricultural estates worked by a large number of peasants) were established .Tensions were exacerbated by the fact that, while the peasants were Ukrainian and Orthodox, the landlords were largely Polish (or Polonized) and Roman Catholic, and the estate stewards or leaseholders for absentee proprietors frequently were Jewish.

The situation in those three centuries and the relations between the Eastern Slavs (Russians /Ukrainians) and Jews is described in detail by the seminal work of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Two Hundred Years Together (html) and Two Hundred Years Together(PDF)

From the mid-16th century, Catholicism, made inroads, especially among the Ruthenian nobility.Religious developments took a radical turn in 1596 when, at a synod in Brest, the Kyivan metropolitan and the majority of bishops signed an act of union with Rome. By this act the Ruthenian church recognized papal primacy but retained the Eastern rite and the Slavonic liturgical language, as well as its administrative autonomy and traditional discipline, including a married clergy.This so-called Uniate church was unsuccessful in gaining the legal equality with the Latin church foreseen by the agreement.

The Cossacks of Ukraine

In the 15th century a new martial society—the Cossacks (from the Turkic kazak, meaning "adventurer" or "free man")—was beginning to evolve in Ukraine's southern steppe frontier. The term was applied initially to venturesome men who entered the steppe seasonally . Their numbers were continually augmented by peasants fleeing serfdom and adventurers from other social strata, including the nobility.

Their centre was the Sich, an armed camp in the lands of the lower Dnieper "beyond the rapids" (za porohy)—hence, Zaporozhia ( Zaporizhzhya).In 1620 the entire Zaporozhian host joined the Kyivan Orthodox brotherhood; in the same year, a new Orthodox hierarchy was consecrated in Kyiv under their military protection.

The Khmelnytsky insurrection

Tensions stemming from social discontent, religious strife, and Cossack resentment of Polish authority finally coalesced and in 1648 with a seemingly typical Cossack revolt, under the leadership of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Ukraine was quickly engulfed in an unprecedented war and revolution.

Khmelnytsky was a petty nobleman and Cossack officer who, unable to obtain justice for wrongs suffered at Polish hands, fled to the Sich in late 1647 and was soon elected hetman. A Polish army sent into Ukraine to forestall the rebellion was shattered in two battles in May. T.Cossacks and peasants vented their fury on —landlords, officials, clergy, and Jews In January 1649 Khmelnytsky entered Kyiv to triumphal acclaim as liberator.

The Right Bank (Poland) Left Bank (Russia)

Khmelnytsky began to search for other allies. In 1654 Pereyaslav Agreement was executed where he concluded with Moscow an agreement whose precise nature has generated enormous controversy: Russian historians have emphasized Ukraine's acceptance of the tsar's suzerainty, but Ukrainian historiography has stressed Moscow's recognition of Ukraine's autonomy (see https://www.britannica.com/event/Pereyaslav-Agreement). Moscow now entered the war against Poland.
Khmelnytsky's successor, Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky, broke with Moscow and in 1658 concluded the new Treaty of Hadyach with Poland. Faced with mounting opposition, Vyhovsky resigned the hetmancy and fled to Poland.After Vyhovsky, Ukraine began a rapid descent into a prolonged state of chaos that contemporaries called "the Ruin." Tensions increased between the Cossack officers, and rank-and-file Cossacks and the peasantry,From 1663, rival hetmans rose and fell in the competing Polish and Russian spheres of influence. In 1667, by the Truce of Andrusovo, Ukraine was partitioned along the Dnieper River: the west, known as the Right Bank, reverted to Poland, while Russia was confirmed in its possession of the east, known as the Left Bank, together with Kyiv (which actually was located west of the river)

The autonomous hetman state and Sloboda Ukraine

After the partition of 1667, the autonomous hetman state, or Hetmanate, was limited territorially to the east, in Left Bank Ukraine. (The hetman state in Right Bank Ukraine, under at least nominal Polish control, was abolished by the Poles at the turn of the 18th century.) At the head of the state stood the hetman, elected theoretically by a general Cossack assembly but in effect by senior officers, who in turn were largely swayed by the tsar's preference. TThe ruling elite in the Hetmanate was composed of the senior Cossack officers, starshyna, who had evolved into a hereditary class approximating the Polish nobility in its privilege

The hetman state reached its zenith in the hetmancy of Ivan Mazepa. Relying at first on the support of Tsar Peter I (the Great), Mazepa exercised near monarchical powers in the Hetmanate.From 1722 to 1727 and again from 1734 to 1750, the office of hetman was in abeyance, as the Russian imperial regime introduced new institutions to oversee the country's governance.

To the east of the Hetmanate lay lands that until the 17th century had remained largely unpopulated—part of the "wild fields"In the 17th century this territory became an area of colonization by Ukrainian peasants and Cossacks The newcomers established free, nonserf settlements called slobodas that gave the area the name of Sloboda Ukraine. Kharkiv developed into the region's main centre.

Right Bank and western Ukraine until the Partitions of Poland
The western Ukrainian lands of Galicia and Volhynia, that reemerged in Ukrainian territories under Polish rule in the 18th century differed markedly from that in the Hetmanate. The Cossacks virtually disappeared as a significant organized force. Cities and towns experienced a serious decline, and their populations became more heavily Polish and, especially in the Right Bank, Jewish. Roman Catholicism enhanced its earlier privileged status; the Uniate church, however, became predominant among Ukrainians, The Right Bank was dominated by the Polish nobility. Especially influential were a few magnate families whose huge estates formed virtually independent fiefdoms, with their own privately armed militias.

Ukraine under direct imperial Russian rule

Following the abolition of autonomy in the Hetmanate and Sloboda Ukraine and the annexation of the Right Bank and Volhynia, Ukrainian lands in the Russian Empire formally lost all traces of their national distinctiveness. The territories were reorganized into regular Russian provinces (guberniyas) The Right Bank, along with some adjoining territories, formed part of the Pale of Settlement, to which the Jewish population of the empire was residentially restricted The sparsely settled southern lands (named Novorossiya, or New Russia) were colonized by migrants from other parts of Ukraine

Industrial development was especially marked in eastern Ukraine, notably the Donbas region (Donets Basin). However, the workers came from other parts of the empire; the Ukrainian population emigrated to agricultural lands. As a result, the growing urban centres in Ukraine became highly Russified islands in a Ukrainian rural sea.In 1839 the Uniate metropolitanate was abolished, and the Uniates finally absorbed into the Russian Orthodox Church,

Western Ukraine under the Habsburg monarchy
The Habsburgs' annexation of Galicia from Poland in 1772 was followed two years later by their acquisition of Bukovina, a partly Ukrainian (predominantly in its northern reaches) and partly Romanian territory, from Moldavia. Already under Habsburg rule, as part of the Hungarian crown, was a third ethnically Ukrainian region—Transcarpathia.In the Hapsburg province of Galicia the fact that, in the province's Ukrainian half, the Poles constituted overwhelmingly the landlord class and dominated the major cities (though many towns were largely Jewish) made Polish-Ukrainian rivalry a crucial feature of Galician life

World War I and the struggle for independence

The outbreak of World War I resulted in Russian forces advancing into Galicia in September, the retreating Austrians executed thousands for suspected pro-Russian sympathies. After occupying Galicia, tsarist authorities took steps toward its total incorporation into the Russian Empire.The Russian Revolution of February 1917 brought into power the Provisional Government. In April the more broadly convened All-Ukrainian National Congress declared the Central Rada to be the highest national authority in Ukraine and elected the historian Mykhaylo Hrushevsky as its head. Ukrainian-Russian relations deteriorated rapidly following the Bolshevik coup in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) on November 7, 1917. The Central Rada refused to accept the new regime's authority over Ukraine The Bolsheviks, in turn, at the first All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets, held in Kharkiv in December, declared Ukraine to be a Soviet republic and formed a rival government. Between 1918-199 Kiev vacillated between Russian (Soviet) and Austrian German supported Governments with Galicia and the western part of what is now Ukraine coming under Polish control In October, however, Poland made a truce with the Soviets, and in March 1921 the Polish and Soviet sides signed the Treaty of Riga. Poland extended recognition to Soviet Ukraine and retained the annexed western Ukrainian lands.

Ukraine in the interwar period

In the aftermath of World War I and the revolutionary upheavals that followed, Ukrainian territories were divided among four states. Bukovina was annexed to Romania. Transcarpathia was joined to the new country of Czechoslovakia. Poland incorporated Galicia and western Volhynia, together with smaller adjacent areas in the northwest. The lands east of the Polish border constituted Soviet Ukraine.

Soviet Ukraine
The territories under Bolshevik control were formally organized as the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic from 1937). On December 30, 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.)—a federation of Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia (Eastern Slavs) , and the Transcaucasian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (S.F.S.R.)—was proclaimed

After the break up of the Soviet Union legally done under the Belavezha Accords and the Alma-Ata Protocol, executed by 14 of the 15 Soviet Republics Ukrainian parliament,Ukraine (in its present geographical form gave itself full independence based on a declaration of the Rada in 24 1991, followed by a referendum of December 1, 1991

Thus the current state of Poland lead by Jewish President and Prime Minster both funded by Jewish billionaires is a creature of the Soviet Union It should either like its Bolshevik creators dissolve and merge itself with its Eastern Slavic neighbors , or follow the contours of its history split itself along the Dneiper River It should also seek to get back its historical Galicia region from Poland with the same energy and passion and media hype it is displaying in securing its "independence" from Russia
