I'm not exactly Bandera, not close, I use Ukraine and Ruthenia as meaning the same thing (Although I call them different), ignore that my previous argument has flaws. As I will sum it here.

Now I can say that Ruthenian-Cossacks hated the Commonwealth, which I suppose they supported Russia during the Third Partition, and said Partition(s).

With this, they disagreed with the Polish for roughly 400 years. When assumlated in the Russian Empire, ignoring the U.S.S.R that they were under Russian Rule for roughly 140 years. This argument therefore explains that they are not one culture.

To resolve your argument I understand that Russia did replace Ukrainians during the 1800's and not to mention the U.S.S.R. After bombarded by Mongols due to being close to said area, Novgorod untouched and Belarus in minor damage.

Ukraine struggled to recover after this, put the ethnic peoples stayed. "Ruthenians."

Russian Influence over Ukraine has only happened in the last 90 years and the 1800's to 1880's, which isn't much time to have Russian Nationialism, to plant this idea they centralized it to gain supporters in the area.

Thank you, and please reply.
