Excuse me, but this is complete bullshit.
>some shared history
Unlike some other countries Ukraine was almost never independent.
- cik2e 10y agoFolklore, maybe not, but Ukraine does have it's own literature. Anyway, the point he is making is valid. Ukraine is fighting hard to get out from under Russia's boot.
- konart 10y agoI wasn't saying Ukraine doesn't have it's own literature though.
- qaq 10y agoYou are conveniently pretending that a fringe region that overtook it's founding metropoly is somehow entitled to the history and culture of that metropoly. If US annexed England it would not suddenly become a nation with a 1000+ year history.
- kislotnik 10y agothis. cannot upvote more, it's the actual reason we've been harassed for so many years - to make the history shared.
- konart 10y agoNo, nobody is saying that about Russia\Ukraine. Modern Russia comes from were we pushed mongols away and from Grand Duchy of Moscow (est. 1283). This, however, can't change the fact the Kievan Rus' (fell 1240) is the root for both countries. All I was saying is that we do share more than some people thing or want to believe, just because of the recent events.
