Ukrainan is just dialect of one Rus language, as well as Russian. And you didn't understand, what I said. Yes, there is Ukrainan/Malorossian dialect. It has been influenced by Polish and Turkic ("Maidan" is Turkic word) after Mongolian invasion and Polish-Lithuanian occupation and moving of Rus center from Kiev, Galic, Chernigov and Polotsk to the East to Vladimir-Suzdal, Tver and Muscuvy that stated to happen even before Mongolian invasion, which made these territories wilder, poorer and more village-like, despite their great history. In some things Ukrainan was even influenced lesser than Velikorossian. BUT. In modern-day Ukraine maybe 90% people cpeak modern Russian, not Ukrainan. In Russia it's actually a meme, that Ukrainan nationalists hate Russian language but they still speak it when they are not on important ceremony or something like that. Many people don't even known Ukrainan and yell "Fuck Russia!" and "Putin is penis!" on Russian.

"Ukrainan autonomy"? In Czardom of Russia and Russian empire noone thought that Malorossians were not Russians, even Malorossians themselves and even these who disliked Velikorossians. Hundred years ago modern-day Ukrainan territory was actually center of Russian nationalism. It was a center of Black Hundreds -movement. Difference between Velikorossians and Malorossians was pretty same as difference between modern-day North and South in USA. Velikorossia was center of the state, their population was more liberal and more Western-influenced, and in same time Malorossians lived in villages and were more Conservative, just like Rednecks.

It is actually very difficult question are Slovenians, Croats and Serbs one or not.
