  2. My understanding is that the Ukrainians were never considered to be Russians by the Russians themselves. They were the “Khokholy”, which roughly translates to “tufties”, something like a cowlick. A corollary would be Manhattenites regarding Kentuckians as hillbillies. During times when the Russians controlled Ukraine, the Ukrainians were discriminated against and millions of them were starved to death by the Soviet Russians in the 1930s.

    If Ukrainians ever felt affinity towards the Russians, that ended this year, forever.
