    It would be great to hear some more about Ukrainian anti-imperialism in relation to the other two empires ruling over parts of Ukraine at different times, that is the Turkish empire and the Habsburg empire.

    The Pereiaslav Agreement or Pereyaslav Agreement was not between Kyiv but between the Zaporizhzian Cossacks and the Russian Tzarist Empire.
    Ukraine never existed then; it was a Kyiv Voivodeship in the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth and nothing more.
    Galicia and Volhynia were part of Poland.
    The Cossacks were never ethnic Slavic People but Tutric-speaking tribes; they may have had some runaway Serfs within their ranks!
    The Crimean Tatars had no relationship with Kyiv and Poland, never extending to the Black Sea!
    Ukraine always tries to create this myth that the Varangan Vikings, who spoke Norse, were their forebearers, which is untrue. They were destroyed by the Mongols, which they never mentioned. It is like they never existed!
    The Vikings established Novgorod in 852 and extended their trade routed down the Dinipro River with the goal of trading with Constantinople.
    The Lutherans were of Slavic descent and spoke Slavonic!
    To remind you, the Ukraine SSR was only established in 1922.
    The Soviets significantly expanded the Ukraine SSR by incorporating Galicia and Volhynia in 1939 and Hungarian Transcarpthia and Romanian Berrasabia in 1945.
    Before that, all of the Russian Empire-founded cities-Odesa, Mykolaiv, Melitipol, Berdyansk, Mariupol, Tokmak, Dinipro, Dontesk, Luhansk, and Kharkiv-were added to the Ukrainian SSR.
    Ukraine has a habit of lying about its origins, hence its predicament!
    Ukraine never won a war independently; Russians established all hydroelectric, Nuclear, Aerospace, and Aviation enterprises.
    Ukraine was an agricultural nation under Poland and the Russian Empire!

    Very silly and inaccurate, unnecessarily so.
