Putin: “No Such Thing as a Separate Ukrainian People, National Identity, Culture Or History; it is the Source of Russian Culture

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

According to Vladimir Putin, Crimea and Ukraine are where the spiritual sources of Russia’s nationhood lie. And he “always saw the Russians and Ukrainians as a single people. I still think this way now.”

People observing the crisis triggered by Putin’s aggression against Ukraine therefore ought to understand what these words mean. Quite simply they mean that for putin—and for much of russia as well, even without the constant incitement of kremlin propaganda—there is no such thing as a separate ukrainian people, national identity, culture or history.

Seen through this Russian lens, the concept of a Ukrainian state independent of Russia is at best a legend or fantasy. At worst it incarnates a threat to the very existence of the Russian state. And obviously Moscow will meet that threat with violence.
