(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultranationalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultranationalism) Ultranationalism or extreme nationalism is an extreme form of nationalism in which a country asserts or maintains detrimental hegemony, supremacy, or control over other countries (usually through coercion) to pursue its interests. British political theorist Roger Griffin has stated that ultranationalism is essentially xenophobic and is known to legitimise itself "through deeply mythicized narratives of past cultural or political periods of historical greatness or of old scores to settle against alleged enemies". I'm sure you will agree that the general Russian attitude toward Ukrainians fits that description. In my reply above, I gave references to show that it also describes a Ukrainian perspective toward ethnic Russians in Ukraine. The Russian case more fits the first quote and the Ukrainian more fits the second. I gave Taras Kuzio as an example because he is a Ukrainian historian who is well-known in the West. Richard Sakwa is interesting to read alongside Kuzio because they cover the same history but from opposing perspectives. Thank you for the Times of Israel article about the Azov fighter. That was quite interesting to get a first-hand perspective. >> Based on what is written about this article elsewhere... BTW, if you know of references discussing the Jeffrey Burds article, I really do want to see them.
