Alright. I'll rephrase this.

Ukraine again.

After the Mongol attacks Kievan Rus was split, the Northern tribes began Russia, meanwhile the Southern tribes were held by the Polish in there invasion of the Mongols, managing to push them out.

With this after many years of rioting, the Ruthenians, now a mixture of Mongolian Cossack and Slavic almost had a proposal that gives them a more Ruthenian oriented goverment. Right at this time, The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth collasped allowing Russia, a now more offensive country took the Ruthenian steppes. For a fact, the Ruthenians were under Polish rule longer then Russian, they started proposing a government because they were upset with the Russian invasion. Therefore a culture.

Now I suppose my Ukrainian argument is invalid as I'm not Bandera, he didn't support Cossacks are proferred Slavs.

Sidenote: The Lithuanians invaded many Southern tribes aswell as Ruthenians. They were under the Lithuanians rule for over 440 years. I'd like to note that the Ruthenians were a people living in Poland and not called "Polish". And were under Russian rule excluding the brief republic that undermined Tatars and Cossacks for 225 years.
