POLES SUPERIOR TO BRITS? [260]
Name Ukraine is used already in the Primary Chronicle of 1187 mentioning the death of knyazya Volodymyra z Pereyaslawa. I don't know what is considered the Middle Ages in Poland, but it is accepted that this period comprises 5th-16th centuries.
any links?
Ukrainians are Ukrainians and I don't divide them in east and west. And as well I don't see that big of a difference that will be able to make difference to my thoughts on this forum. Moreover, I don't see the relevance of your question. I don't ask you whether you are from Bialystok or Wroclaw, right?
Could you answer my question? Are you hiding something?
So according to you Germans and Italians started to exist in 19th century?
thats right , as a modern nations - states.
Could you explain the difference here, please?! Agendas? So Germany as a political idea began its existance in 1812 and Ukraine in 1848, so what is your point? Nations existed before states were formed. According to you Bach was French then and Mazepa was Swiss. Cool. And Copernicus?
My point is very easy to understand that before 1848 there wasnt any ukrainian nation at all.
No always nations existed before states were formed sometimes there were state before nations.
Bach was saxon from Saxony.
Mazepa? Jan Kolodynski? according to the times he lived he was a Pole.
I can acknowledge that he was Ruthenian but he wasnt ukrainian.
Copernicus was subject of Polish King therefore he was polish.
