THIS IS FEMALE ERASURE
Lithuanians of course think the same.
Ruthenia/Ruś, Ruthenians/Rusini
Ukraine's been a later name.
Read the link I've given you.
Maybe I'll just give you this:
Yes Ukrainians. Also Belarusians (Polish: Białorusini, the Whiterusini, not Rosjanie too) but they're in literal backwoods (a literal swamp, even).
All the Cossacks who fought for Poland-Lithuania (since Lithuania took over today's Belarus and Ukraine during the Mongol invasion) against Muscovy would be very surprised by your assertion.
You know they once captured Moscow?
The Red Army was made of the other remnants of the very same army "thoroughly crushed by the Germans", as was also ours partially (while one other part of the Polish Army included some remnants of the Austrian Army that the Russian Army had defeated), and I don't know what you even want to prove now. You've got totally lost in your own stupid arguments.
The Czechoslovak Legion was also a remnant of it and nothing new, even made from the Austrian Army POWs.
Not just Vikings, mostly Slavs but also others. Muscovy later stole the name of Rus (to make their Rossiya), but we've referring to the Ukrainians as Rusini as opposed to Rosjanie (or Moskale).
Maybe ask the Cossacks to join the conversation too if you're impressed by the Hussites.
Kievan Rus did exist before 1795, is your problem with the name? Czechia didn't exist before 2016, Czech Republic before 1992, there was never a "Czech Kingdom", it (Moravia, Bohemia, Sudetenland, etc.) was German/Austrian for centuries, whatever it has to do with anything, is it also "not real" and "fake puppet one" especially since the Czechs just fucking lie down whenever anyone invades?
Lmao fuck you, we've been part of the West (the Latin Civilisation) for more than 1,000 years.
The war would have been hard, and extremely costly in all ways possible, but if they had a hindsight knowing what lies ahead for them and the world they would never fucking stop before COMPLETELY EXTERMINATING the Bolsheviks once and for all.
And not alone because the various oppressed nations and groups would rise up again, as they have done before. Including Russia's own starving peasants (as they did anyway) and even disaffected Red Army soldiers (as they did anyway too, famously in Kronstadt, and with many desertions and mutinies on various occasions). The Ukrainians in Ukraine of course too.
Russia, so much larger, and its "short lived republic", and later all the Whites and other Color Revolutions "couldn't stand to a bunch of ragged Bolsheviks" in the civil war, are you really trying to make the most retarded arguments again? Why am I wasting my time on you?
The Bolsheviks have annexed Lviv city in 1939, in 1944 they only just returned. In 1940 they deported more than million people people east (Kazakhstan mostly), but in 1944 they just organized a population exchange with Poland. Then a perhaps million Ukrainians died in the Soviet Union, as a result of either starvation (again, and mostly) and in repressions against the nationalist resistance which was much more serious threat than in Poland or anywhere else in the Soviet Union combined (there were various "forest brothers" also elsewhere).
Before 1795 there was no Czechia, no Slovakia, no Belarus, no Finland, no Estonia, no Latvia, NO RUSSIAN FEDERATION, no Canada, no Mexico, America just appeared, shut the fuck up with this dumb fucking imperialist mindset, Jesus Christ.

A Cyryllic "USA" under the drone.
No one normal thinks about Lviv as "a Polish city" except historically and nostalgically.
There was no Poland in 1913 too. "What a great argument, surely would work," you thought, probably. You know what, just fuck it. I tried, I'm done, this is a stupid fucking conversation and I'm wasting my time with you.
And to speak of the Ukrainian People's Republic (Putin didn't tell you about it, I know), our president (one of your "Western leaders don't care about Ukrainian lives") on the 100th anniversary:
These Ukrainian soldiers (who were then betrayed by Poland in the peace treaty with Russia, which is a great shame, and the Bolsheviks should have been fought into complete extinction no matter what sacrifice it had to take because the entire humanity was at the stake) apparently fought for their country against the Bolsheviks "willing Ukraine into existence", according to you, being retarded.
Just STOP BELIEVING THE FUCKING RUSSIAN LIES. Is it hard to you? Something blocking your brain?
Ukraine was conquered by the Bolsheviks. (About half of it, at least.)
It was ironically a People's Republic. You're apparently a fan of this concept, but only if it means a Russian colony.
The Bolsheviks then murdered millions of locals in the east Ukraine, and imported Russian colonists in their place.
We care so much about their lives, Poland is now just full of Ukrainian refugees on our dime.
No, I didn't. Perhaps you should care less about random gossip too.
And speaking of Grozny, ironically, this photo, here: https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-media-propaganda-ukraine-conflict-chechnya/26660126.html
They don't even say it in the article, but they were the Russian civilians in this photo, killed by the Russian state. This is why the place was in the Orthodox cemetery.
It was in March, this related video is from April, same subject: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/cce7108220fc9561adecb9a183446123
The death toll in the Chechen conflict remains undocumented, but Russia's Human Rights Commission recently revealed that approximately 24,000 civilians have been killed in Grozny alone. Russian officials have begun to excavate several mass graves in central Grozny, and friends and family members go to the area daily to try to identify their dead.
That's a whole lot of "blunder". Nowadays they didn't even count in Mariupol at all.
And now (in 2014) the absolutely shameless Russian propaganda, inclduing Rassiya 1 no less (about whom you told me you somehow didn't know anything, remember?), uses the imagery of their own crimes as fake Ukrainian crimes.
Nothing can be more disgusting.
You believe what they tell you. The "shelling of Donbass". Why are you choosing to be retarded? Just so be an anti-Westeen contrarian, siding with the worst bunch. With cynical mass murderers of their own people.
It's not any "blunder", it was a deliberate mass murder.
As deliberate as them shooting people in the back of the head and leaving their bodies in houses and streets, or burying them in shallow mass graves, which they also do.
The very same thing, just from the air.
And not an isolated incident.
You for some bizarre reason think they care about "Russians / Russian speakers", but Russia is now so hated in Kharkiv for a reason.
It's like you don't remember what they have done to the Russians in Grozny. Or maybe you just don't know.
At the end of 1994, Grozny was still (and perhaps rather again, as most of the Chechens have taken shelter in the countryside with their families) majority Russian.
There are probably no longer any Russians in Grozny. (Something like a decade ago there were still less than 100.)
Do you know what happened there?
It's not a fucking secret.
The three links from above, so you could read before commenting for once:

Fragment:
Many of the Russian strikes that Amnesty International documented in recent months were carried out with inherently indiscriminate weapons, including internationally banned cluster munitions, or with other explosive weapons with wide area effects. Others used guided weapons with varying levels of accuracy; in some cases, the weapons were precise enough to target specific objects.
The Ukrainian military’s practice of locating military objectives within populated areas does not in any way justify indiscriminate Russian attacks. All parties to a conflict must at all times distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and take all feasible precautions, including in choice of weapons, to minimize civilian harm. Indiscriminate attacks which kill or injure civilians or damage civilian objects are war crimes.
And two mine, providing the context - what happens to the undefended areas:
https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/eur50/5713/2022/en/
(A deliberate massacre of children with an airstrike.)
On 16 March 2022, shortly after 10am, a Russian air strike destroyed the Donetsk Regional Academic Drama Theatre in Mariupol, Ukraine. At the time of the attack, hundreds of civilians were in and around the theatre; many were killed. The theatre was clearly recognizable as a civilian object, perhaps more so than any other location in the city. The evidence Amnesty International has gathered demonstrates that the attack was a war crime.
Testimonies shows that unarmed civilians in Ukraine are being killed in their homes and streets in acts of unspeakable cruelty and shocking brutality
There's lots more of course.
Speak like a normal fucking human being.
You sound very confused, as usual with the subject.
They've openly and officially and publicly warned him there will be most severe sanctions if he does go full retard, begging him not to do it, and yet he did anyway.
No, Ukraine will continue to fight. For their own country, for their own nation, for their own families and their own homes. It's not their first dance too, and they long proved themsleves to be the most hardcore nationalists one can even imagine.
Even Russian proapaganda constantly claims they're fighting against "nationalists" and yet you're more oricsh than the orcs themselves.
Much of the "population of Donbass" is either still in the free territory, under the savage Russian shelling and bombing, or evacuated to the west, including safe in Poland and elsewhere.
I wish Officer Derek had win.
What's about his other cops, meanwhile?
