    About the report: This analytical report is dedicated to reviewing the origin and modifications of the Russian history-based propaganda that aims to legitimise the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The research provides a comprehensive analysis of the Russian historical myths that seek to distort Ukrainian history from the middle ages to the ongoing all-out war, covering Russia's claim for Ukraine's mediaeval heritage and false primacy in establishing the Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe, the myth of 'reunification' of Russian and Ukrainian nations, the history-based propaganda concerning Russia-occupied territories of Ukraine, the World War Two-related propaganda and instances of disinformation related to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Relying on methods of scientific analysis, source verification, analytical interpretation and Open Source Intelligence, the report accompanies the historical review of the analysed myths with the respective ideological implication and sources the research with specific examples of their use in Russian propaganda.

    At the end of the show Anastasiia mentions how the term "Donbas" - from DONetsk coal BASin - is problematic, this is 100% spot on. That term was invented by the late ruzzian empire and perpetuated by the Soviets to wipe out Ukrainian identity and replace it with a russian and Belarusian industrial identity. Well known Ukrainian philosopher Volodymyr Yermolenko is advocating for this term "Donbas" to be ditched. For example the ancient name for the area I settled in a decade a go when I moved to Ukraine is called "Pryazovia", not "Donbas".

      When Karl Marx said it "modern Russia" included lands from Odessa and Nikolaev to Kiev and Kharkov. At least Karl Marx knew what Russia was. But Karl Marx didn't know nothing about "Ukraine" and "Ukrainians" who would later appear as the "metamorphosis of Austro Hungary" in the 90s of the 19th century as anti Russia project. Be careful with citation of great historical figures. Wanting humiliate Russia you debunk Ukrainian idea and myth.

The many myths created by centuries of devious 'Third Rome' doctrine, of a holy Russia fighting the evils of the world, concern Russia's particular barbarism inherited from the Mongols, their despicable consideration towards women, their sense of self-righteousness, their intrinsic corruption, etc. Ukraine is a different universe altogether.

    The russian hijacking/distortion of Christianity is something that I have picked up from other sources. The russian narrative is very powerful.

    • @laolao1466
      @laolao1466 Před měsícem

      The problem is that nobody in the West tells the truth about Russian "Christian Orthodox church". At the beginning of the 20th century communists came to power in Russia, declared ateism, banned religion, ruined churches or turned them into warehouses and killed priests. However, during WWII Stalin decided to create an organization he named "Russian Orthodox Church" within KGB for reconnaissance and propaganda purposes. The KGB staff were quickly trained to play the role of priests. Haste in training led to mistakes. The freshly minted 'priests' came to the territories occupied by German nazi (for some reason Germans allowed them to the territories they controlled - although they had to know that communists banned religion, so there were no priests at all in the country) and these 'priests' made mistakes during service. German nazi occupied the whole territory of Ukraine where Christianity is popular (to compare, nazi occupied 5% of Russian territory), so mostly those 'priests' had to work on the territory of Ukraine. The older generation of Ukrainains still remembered the genuine church and new all rituals. They were shocked with blunders made by 'priests' and were really puzzled. Of course, as soon as Germans learnt about strange behavior of the newcomers they thought were priests, they quickly drove to the place, but didn't find anybody as the agents already left understanding from the puzzled faces of locals that they failed.
      The KGB organization named 'church' has nothing to do with religion. Nothing has changed since the time of its creation. This 'church' in the 21st century promoted Russian propaganda in Ukraine. Since 2014 they have functioned as logistics, reconnaissance departments, they provide accommodation for Russian troops or subversive groups at the monasteries, their 'priests' even fight within Russian armed forces. Ukrainian Intelligence Service has inspected the monasteries and churches of Russian church in Ukraine and found so much interesting staff there...
      Another issue is that Christianity is not popular in Russia. An insignificant percentage (about 0.5%) of Russians attend service at curches. "Orthodox churches" in Russia are empty. Muslims and Buddhists in Russia are sincere in their faith. Whereas those Russians who are determined as "Orthodox Christians" in fact prefer cults to religion (the most popular one is the cult of death). You might have seen the photos of Russians presenting soil from Navalny's grave as a gift to their friends. This is a popular tradition. Russians take soil from the graves of musicians, artists, etc because they believe that it heals. This is just one of numerous examples.
      The biggest issue is that this 'church' functions in many countries and perform the same functions posing security threat to all those countries. However, only Estonia has kicked out the head of Russian "Orthodox church" so far...

      As far as I know the founders of Russian Empire were the guys from Saint Petersburg in 18th century. Lenin in 1918 transferred capital city to Moscow . Moscovites have stolen nothing.Throughout its history Soviet Union hadn't been ruled by people from Russian Federation in terms of highest ranks. The first and last was Gorbachev. Stalin was Georgian. Secretary Generals Khruchev, Brezhnev, Chernenko were from Ukrainian socialist republic. And so called Ukrainians had never been under oppression.

    Hello Jonathan 👋
    Another excellent interview with another brilliant, beautiful Ukrainian woman (it's a tough job but someone has to do it!).
    I find the whole convoluted topic of the 'history' of russia to be a misnomer used to muddy the water. The continued debate about WHEN Ukraine identity as a nation was established is really immaterial. Ukraine has internationally recognised borders, acknowledged following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, enshrined in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, and codified by Vladimir Putin in 2003.
    The United States of America and Australia and Pakistan (I could go on) are all relatively new countries. But they are established under international law. It's surely that simple.

Chinese academic Deng Xize : "No more Mongol-Muscovy style empire: Thoughts on the war in Ukraine, The global reaction to the war in Ukraine in fact shows that such empires will no longer be tolerated."​ The Mongol-Muscovy style empire could be defined as a dominating, rapacious empire upheld by violence, especially unruly violence, and exhibiting three prominent characteristics.
    First, it uses unruly violence as a regular means of resolving international disputes. While violence is common and sometimes necessary in political or social governance, rules have been set for its use under a modern lawful democratic system. Unlike in ancient times, the use of violence now comes under heavy restrictions and is “predictable”. Such an evolution also applies to international relations.

Ukrainian was also persecuted in Ukraine, even during the Russian Empire, when people were imprisoned for using it. The degree of Polish or Hungarian persecution has never reached this level.

    The history of Ireland has many features in common with the history of Ukraine.
    For almost eight hundred years traditional native Irish language, culture, religion, lands and other material properties were aggressively subjugated by the English and Scottish invaders who sought to completely eradicate everything that was Irish. Fortunately, those vicious foreign invaders from both England and Scotland and Wales did not succeed completely although they have almost completely eliminated the Irish language.

      The history of England and of the British Empire is exactly as you describe, I feel. It is an appalling litany of imperial expansion and brutal subjugation (I'm English by the way). The only difference in terms of a direct correlation between Ukraine and Ireland is that Ireland ultimately and quite rightly achieved independence. I know and accept that by 1921 the damage was already done and has never really been atoned for, but by 1921 it was achieved. Ukraine has also been subjugated, russified and brutalised by russia historically for hundreds of years. But it still finds itself (in the 21st century) defending itself from imperial conquest. I do believe Ukraine is now at that 1921 moment when for the first time in its history it will break free and achieve independence and democracy.

Opression and wars were a gradual and constant process, same was emergence of Ukrainian identity and ethnicity, which was not called Ukrainian yet.

      You are a russian troll. I have already had this conversation with you. I will repeat what I told you before.
      Your contention that Ukraine MUST exist on a map that shows Russia brutalising it is absurd. The simple reality is that Ukraine as a region has been brutalised by russia for centuries and then again by Russia under the guise of the Soviet Union. This is a historical fact. But even if that were not true (which it is), Russia agreed to Ukraine's borders in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. It did so again in 1994 under the Budapest Memorandum, and Putin again ratified this in 2003. Ukraine's borders are recognised under international law. If you want to stop recognising international law, the land you stole back to the Mongols, the Japanese and the Chinese.

    In an undergrad history course on Russia in 1985, a fellow student whom I guessed was Ukrainian challenged the prof's practice of referring to everything between Brest Litovsk and Germany's pre 1914 border as "Russia." Poland was Russian territory that contained some Poles, etc. The prof tried to explain he was just trying to simplify the matter so as to be able to compress 1000 years into a 3 month course, but the student refused to accept that and quit the course.
    I hope this current horrible situation will jolt an extensive reorientation of what we called western history, and I am really looking forward to the historiography of 2000 to beyond 2022.

      Новороссия (Новая Россия) - це російська назва для кількох областей (в різні часи різний склад) Чорноморського узбережжя Росії і України після його завоювання Російською імперією у 18 сторіччі (не лише імператорською армією, з допомогою українських козаків також) і указів про заснування "нових" фортець, портів там, де вони вже були, але під новими назвами (як було з Одесою) і звичайно нових також. Проте будували (робоча сила) їх не росіяни, а всі, хто тоді тут жив, українці також. Виглядає з російського боку так, ніби завойовували пустку ( Січ - козацькі утворення, яких тут було кілька, села, містечка, середньовічні фортеці забуваємо), або маленьке рибацьке селище, і потім імператор видавав указ, а француз (чи хтось ще) будував місто. І тепер в медіа росіяни вимагають "вернуть исконно русские земли" и "русские города". "Исконные", бо ніби нікому іншому не належали (а з ким воювали?) Після побудови цих міст і портів трохи більше ста років в переписі населення 1897 року в "Новороссии" жили переважно ті, хто назвали своєю українську мову (національність не питали, проте коли в СРСР в 1926 запитували національність і мову окремо, відсоток за націіональністю був більший, бо велика частина українців, євреїв, болгар, греків, вірмен, німців і інших у великих містах говорила росіійською) В Запорізькій області - 82%, в Херсонській - 55%, в усіх інших, окрім Одеської області - більше половини за цим переписом говорили українською. В Одеській області, включно з Одесою - 35% російська, 22% українська, 22% єврейська мова. В місті Одеса російською говорили значно більше.
      Після революцій 1917 року вся ця територія ввійшла до складу України.
      В наш час термін "Новороссия" - назва плану Путіна захопити Чорноморське узбережжя включно з Придністров'ям (Молдова). Мовляв треба "повернути Новороссию". А також це назва приписаних в Конституцію Росії у 2022 південних областей України (навіть обласний центр не окуповано, проте вже "добавили" до свого складу).

Tribes east of the Rhine fell back into tribalism and missed out on the development of culture etc for centuries after. The speaker seems to suggest that this schism persists till this day in far Eastern Europe. Would love to hear her analysis on this age old schism interpreted with a modern political landscape lens.

    BACKGROUND ( SORRY, JUST GOOGLE translate ) : After the 2nd World War, 10 million Belarus was missing about 3 million of its inhabitants, but about 2 million were killed before the war by the communist NKVD. In Belarus, 70 percent of all Belarusian writers were physically destroyed, scientists and artists were killed. (The troupe of the Third Belarusian State Theater of Vladislav Golubok was arrested in its entirety. Almost everyone was shot.) They killed on ethnic grounds. For this reason, the label “Natsdem” was invented (this means a national democrat, although such a party did not exist). This label was applied to all Belarusians whom the Stalinists planned to destroy. In the depths of the NKVD, the non-existent anti-communist organization SVB ("Union for the Liberation of Belarus") was invented. Under an invented phantom, the NKVD members carried out arrests, conducted an imaginary investigation, interrogated, tortured, tried, then exiled and shot innocent people. After the Riga Agreement in 1921, Belarus was divided between Poland and the country. The dividing line was drawn not far from Mensk. There was a secret order from the NKVD to exterminate the entire Belarusian population along the border. The Russian invaders wanted to make a deserted zone here. The destruction was carried out by border troops. Trusted persons were given a rifle and a shovel. When such a border guard soldier met a lonely Belarusian or Belarusian woman, or a child in a deserted place (on the road, in a field, in the forest), he shot the person, immediately dug a hole with a shovel and covered the corpse.
    Those were the instructions. People in the villages were not as afraid of a “man with a gun” as they were of a soldier with a shovel. (These facts were published in the Belarusian press in the early 90s.) In the 30s, 95-99 percent (almost completely) of the Belarusian communist party and Soviet administration was destroyed (exiled and shot). They even destroyed the directorate and economic managers. “Russians” from the race were sent to fill the positions of murdered Belarusian administrators and communist leaders. “Russians” 🇷🇺 (the so-called “promoters”) came to Belarus, took vacated positions, received benefits, property, apartments, and the first thing they did was close Belarusian schools, translate them into the “Russian” language so that their children could to study without burdening oneself with studying, as they said, the “useless” Belarusian language. Thus, the occupiers created a “Russian-speaking” population in Belarus. Ethnocide, linguicide, mnemacide and genocide were carried out by the Bolsheviks simultaneously.
    The destruction of Belarusians by the Raseysky NKVD continued during the German occupation. In June 1941, in the first days of the war, the communists shot thousands of prisoners in prisons and prison camps. Only in the Brest Fortress, where there was a terrible NKVD prison, they did not have time to liquidate all those arrested, some of them fled. Meanwhile, a large group of NKVD guards and functionaries was blocked in the fortress by the Germans. They sat there for about a month until they died out. About 20 years after the war, the communists came up with a legend about the “heroic defense” of the Brest Fortress. Noteworthy is the fact that the broad Soviet partisan movement was organized only in Belarus and partially on the ethnic Belarusian lands that were part of the race (Smolensk region, Bryansk region). There was no partisan movement in occupied Russia. Why? Yes, because the plan to destroy the Belarusian nation continued to operate. Moscow, using the NKVD, dragged the masses of the civilian Belarusian population into the war against the Germans, and thereby exposed the Belarusians to German attack.
    The necessary work of struggle proceeded from an insidious plan and was carried out by vile methods. (Stalin wanted to get a double benefit.) The NKVD members specifically killed a German near a Belarusian village or made another provocation in order to provoke a punitive operation by the Nazis (who usually burned the entire village, most often along with the people). Thus, by the way, as a result of a special provocation by Soviet partisans, the famous Khatyn was also burned, which the communists later advertised to the whole world in the 70s as a typical victim of fascist atrocities.
    As a result of such communist-fascist joint “work”, more than 9 thousand villages were burned in Belarus. Therefore, by the end of the war, as a result of a special operation of the NKVD, many Belarusian commanders were sent to their deaths, removed from command, killed and repressed. Their places were taken by Russians sent from Moscow and loyal NKVD members. In the summer of 1944, when the “red army” occupied Belarus, the “Russians” mobilized into the army on Belarusian territory. cartridges. They died in thousands, like grass under a scythe. And those who ran back fell under the bullets of the NKVD “barrier detachments.” However, the barrier detachments also shot in the back. This is how the destruction of Belarusians continued in the war, at the hands of the Germans and “Russians” at the same time. As the communists said, “in the fight for the Soviet homeland.” In the 40s, the Russians took them to Siberia and there they tortured all the foresters and so-called “kulaks” from Western Belarus. They were taken out in wagons, in different orders....

Непісьменная пісулька на беларускай мове, у якой мясцовыя кіраўнікі скардзіліся на страшэнны голад у сваім раёне: “На гэтых днях (2 чэрвеня) меў мейсца з рада вон выходзячы факт: гр. в. Ціхін (Акопскага сельсавету) Сікорская ноччу зарэзала свайго 9-гадовага дзіцяці. Частку ўнутранасцей пасьпела паесьці, назаўтра ўтопіла другога дзіцяці і памерла сама ад істошчэньня”. Такі жудасны факт прыводзілі нараўлянскія начальнікі і слёзна заканчвалі сваё пасланне: “Без сур’ёзнай дапамогі рэспубліканскага цэнтру абысціся не зможам”.
    "Такое ж бядотнае становішча было і ў суседнім Ельскім раёне, аб чым чэкісты рапартавалі ў Менск. У 200 сем’ях з 250 аднаасобных гаспадарак дзеці і дарослыя апухлі ад голаду, за два месяцы з-за схуднення памерла 20 чалавек. “Аднаасобнік хутара Рэдзька Калодзей Мікіта, каб не бачыць пакуты галоднай сям’і, запёр у хаце жонку і трох малалетніх дзяцей, забіў наглуха дзверы і вокны, пасля чаго сам некуды знік. Жонка і двое дзяцей Калодзея ўжо памерлі, аднаго малога выратавалі суседзі. У в.Меляшковічы ўдава Ціханава Ульяна з голаду кінула траіх дзяцей і сышла няведама куды”, - прыводзілі жудасныя прыклады чэкісты.
    На Гомельшчыну з Менска выехала спецыяльная камісія для праверкі фактаў. 21 чэрвеня Бюро ЦК КП(б)Б занесла ў пратакол: у Ельскім і Нараўлянскім раёнах мор закрануў да 60 працэнтаў насельніцтва. Людзі ядуць не толькі “ліпавае лісце, верас, мох і мякіну, а ў некаторых гаспадарках нават катоў, сабак і конскую падаль”. Сталічныя таварышы вымушаны былі прызнаць факт канібалізму: “У в. Акопы… жонка бедняка, пайшоўшага на працу ў горад, вярнулася дадому і знайшла свайго сына Валодзю мёртвым, адрэзала ногі дзіцяці і зварыла са шчаўем. Паела шчаўя сама і пакарміла другое дзіцянё.

    background : После 2-й Мировой войны 10-мильонная Белaрусь 🏳❤🏳 не досчиталась около 3-х мильонов своих жителей, однако околь 2-х миллионов были убиты еще до войны органами коммунистического НКВД. В Беларуси физически уничтожили 70 процентов всех белaруских писателей, убили ученых и художников. (Труппа Третьего Белорусского Государственного театра Владислава Голубка была арестована в полном составе. Почти все были расстреляны.) Убивали по национальному признаку. Ради этого был придуман ярлык "нацдем" (это значит -- национальный демократ, хотя такой партии не существовало). Этот ярлык приклеивали ко всем белорусам, которых сталинисты планировали уничтожить. В недрах НКВД была придумана несуществующая антикоммунистическая организация СВБ ("союз освобождения Белaруси"). Под придуманный фантом энкавэдисты проводили аресты, вели воображаемое следствие, допрашивали, пытали, судили, потом ссылали в paсeю и расстреливали невинных людей. После Рижского сговора в 1921 году Беларусь разделили между Польшей и paсeей. Границу раздела провели недалеко от Менска. Существовал тайный приказ НКВД уничтожать всё белорусское население вдоль границы. Российские аккупанты хотели сделать здесь безлюдную зону. Уничтожение осуществляли пограничные войска. Довереным лицам выдавали винтовку и лопату. Когда такой солдат-пограничник встречал в безлюдном месте (на дороге, в поле, в лесу) одинокого белоруса или белоруску, или ребенка, он стрелял человека, тут же лопатой выкапывал яму и засыпал труп.
    Такова была инструкция. Люди в деревнях не так боялись "человека с ружьём", как солдата с лопатой. (Эти факты опубликованы в белaруской печати в начале 90-х годов.) В 30-х годах на 95-99 процентов (практически полностью) была уничтожена (сослана и расстреляна) белaруская коммунистическо-партийная и советская администрация. Уничтожали даже директорат и хозяйственных руководителей. На должности убитых администраторов и коммунистических начальников-белорусов присылали “русских” из paсeии. “Русские” 🇷🇺 (так называемые "выдвиженцы") приезжали в Беларусь, занимали освобожденные должности, получали льготы, имущество, квартиры и первое, что они делали -- закрывали белорусские школы, переводили их на “русский” язык, чтобы их дети могли учиться, не обременяя себя изучением, как они говорили, "никому ненужного" белaруского языка. Таким образом оккупанты создавали в Беларуси "русскоязычное” население". Этноцид, лингвацид, мнемацид и геноцид проводзились большевиками одновременно.
    Уничтожение белaрусов рaсeйским НКВД продолжалось и во времена немецкой аккупации. В июне 1941 года в первые дни войны коммунисты расстреляли в тюрьмах и на этапах тысячи заключенных. Только в Брестской крепости, где была страшная тюрьма НКВД, всех арестованных ликвидировать не успели, часть из них разбежалась. Тем временем большая группа надзирателей и функционеров НКВД была заблокирована в крепости немцами. Они сидели там около месяца, пока не вымерли. Лет через 20 после войны коммунисты придумали легенду о "героической обороне" Брестской крепости. Обращает на себя внимание тот факт, что широкое советское партизанское движение было организовано только в Беларуси и частично -- на этнических белaруских землях, которые были в составе paсeии (Смоленщина, Брянщина). В оккупированой России партизанского движения не было. Почему? Да потому, что продолжал действовать план уничтожения белорусской нации. Москва, используя органы НКВД, втянула массы гражданского белорусского населения в войну против немцев, и этим подставила белорусов под немецкий удар.
    Необходимое дело борьбы исходило из коварного замысла и осуществлялось подлыми методами. (Сталин хотел получить двойную выгоду.) Энкавэдисты специально около белорусской деревени убивали немца или делали другую провокацию, чтобы вызвать карательную операцию гитлеровцев (которые обычно сжигали всю деревню, чаще всего -- вместе с людьми). Таким образом, кстати, в результате специальной провокации советских партизан была сожжена и известная Хатынь, которую коммунисты потом в 70-х годах разрекламировали на весь мир как типичную жертву фашистского зверства.
    В результате такой коммуно-фашистской совместной "работы" в Беларуси сожгли более 9 тысяч деревень. Поэтому к концу войны, в результате специальной операции НКВД, многие белaaруские командиры были посланы на смерть, отстранены от командования, убиты и репрессированы. Их места занимали русские, присланные из Мосвы, и верные энкавэдисты. Летом 1944 года, когда "красная армия" заняла Беларусь, “русские” провели мобилизацию в армию на белaруской территории. Десятки тысяч молодых белaруских мужчин, почти без подготовки, бросили на передовую линию фронта. “pусские” командиры поднимали их в ненужные атаки под огонь немецких пулеметов, не дав даже оружия в руки, или с винтовками, но без патронов. Они гибли тысячами, как трава под косой. А те, что бежали назад, попадали под пули энкавэдистских "заградотрядов". Впрочем, заградотряды стреляли и в спину. Так продолжалось уничтожение белaрусов на войне, руками немцев и “русских” одновременно. Как говорили коммунисты, "в борьбе за советскую родину". В 40-х годах русские вывезли в Сибирь и там замучили всех лесников и так называемых "кулаков" из Западной Беларуси. Вывозили вагонами, по разнорядках.

    A great exchange of ideas, but I have difficulty with the framing of the war in Ukraine as a conflict between "European values" and Asian values (Muscovy/Russia represented as "Asian" in a derogatory way). It is insulting to Mongolians (nobody speaks for them) and Chinese people. The real conflict is between societies that appreciate free speech, the separation of powers and the rights of minorities and those who don't. Moscow and current day China clearly fall in the latter camp. But don't use lazy simplications like Europe (liberal, enlightened) and Asia. Rome and the Mongols used similar techniques in subjugating people they wanted to annex (if you resist us we will destroy you, if you open your gates we will treat you well) but Rome is seen as a source of European civilisation, the Mongol empire is not. China in its history has had many phases, some more liberal, some more authoritarian. Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot etc were banned and exiled in there own country of France just like Tsarist Russia did to its critics., then its revolution turned into a bloodfest (just like Russia's). The restoration that followed 1815 in Europe saw autocrats (the King of Hanover etc) have a vicious secret police and censorship, just like Russia. The English attempted to wipe out Welsh, Cornish and Irish speaking, luckily not successful. US, Canadian and Australian governments tried to destroy native cultures and religions by abducting native children. The list goes on. So please don't frame this as a conflict between European and Asian values, the war in Ukraine is a conflict between a (relative new) respect for free speech, property rights and the separation of powers and autocracy and kleptocracy.

      I know it's convenient, but I wouldn't contrast Europe with Asia. Russia has simply found itself on the margins of European culture. These positive movements related to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment reached Russia with a delay and were very weak. They didn't take root that strongly. The tsarist censorship took care of this for a long time (Lenin read Marx because the tsarist censorship found him too boring to inspire Russians), and later comes communist censorship. Moreover, this socialist and communist movement brought some "European values" to Russia, such as universal health care and pensions. But it did not bring democracy, individual freedom, or the idea of ​​self-determination. It also did not bring post-colonial reflection. Russia may make up for this in the future, but at the moment it is a terror state.

    France has also destroyed minority cultures to a large extent. And it will be only a matter of time when these minorty languages and cultures will disappear entirely. Think of the Bretons, the Catalans in the soutwest, The italians in Nizza, the Alsatiens and the people in eastern Lorraine and at last the Flemish. All these cultures have been wiped out because the language spoken and taught in Kindergarten and the schools is French. And this policy has been very deliberate. But of coure the French will not acknoledge this kind of genocide because they have always thougth that their culture is superior.

      But France is no longer, in the 21st century, still, an expansionist imperial conqueror. Neither is the British Empire, neither is the Roman Empire, neither is the Otterman Empire. The age of empires is over and the old empires struggle with the damage they have done historically. The BIG difference is that Russia STILL believes imperial expansion and conquest against all international law is still an acceptable way to conduct geopolitics.

    This conversation regrettably seems to succumb to the very specious and facile generalizations of which it--rightfully--accuses Russia when Ms. Marushevska states that without Ukraine, Russia is not European. She does not help her case making such hyperbolic statements since when dealing with liars and dissemblers, one should not resort to their tactics.
    Russia has had a long, European identity and presence as a part of Europe whether Ukraine was under its control, under Ottoman control or independent. If Putin or other Russian irredentists want to make the argument that Ukraine is essential to Russia's European-ism, then let them enjoy that pathetic fantasy, but please do not enable it in the name of one's own counter-rhetoric.
