Lets recap. You are telling me Ukraine is younger than my older sister (33) and that before that it didnt exist ever? And the word was first made up in 1918-1920? Some people's grandpas were there when Ukraine wasnt a thing as neither country or region.
That Ukraine is a frankenstein of Polish, Russian, Hungarian and Romanian territory? And the Russian part was integral to Russia and the location of their first capital until the commies split it up? That fucking Crimea wasnt part of it until the 50s? (why the seething for it kek)
That Ukrainian is a separate language only due to politics? That it was some hick dialect before that and that by its creation most of Ukraine spoke standard Russian, including most of Kiev, the capital?
That 90% of folks on the regions "attacked" identify as Russian and not Ukrainian?
Why oh WHY are they so patriotic? What heritage are they defending? Their heritage is Russian any way I see it. Is it a Muscovite vs. Kievan Russia or something gay like that? They are faker than Israel and a literal Rhodesian has a longer history.
Before they were known as Ukrainians they were also called Ruthenians which, as a term, exists for a very long time.

Are you absolutely sure? Ruthenia seems to be an old latin name for russia according to wiki >The wordRutheniaoriginated as aLatindesignation of the region whose people originally called themselves theRus'. During the Middle Ages, writers in English and other Western European languages applied the term to lands inhabited byEastern Slavs.[4][5]Russia itself was calledGreat RutheniaorWhite Rutheniauntil the end of the 17th century. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruthenia

the convert is always more fanatical because he feels he needs to prove it
in the balkans, people say "poturica gori od turćina" which means the turk convert is nastier than the turk himself

Wery few modern countries existed before WW1. The world had something like a dozen countries +south america before.
What's really blowing my mind is finding out Kiev never existed
