Costia, Ryszard meant русины (Rusini) by Ruthenians. It's a bit different nation. Genetically they're Western Russians.
I understood exactly what he had meant. He had meant that there is some people who think that they are some different nation appart from Ukrainians, Russians or Belorussians and they call themselves as "Rusins" or "Ruthenians". What could I say? There is no such nation as "Rusins", it is the fact! They are Ukrainians at least, and I don't care about their idle fancies....Yes they have language with some characteristic properties, but it is not individual and separated from Ukrainian, for sure.
Sorry Kostik but Russians are close to the old and todays people of Mongolia.
Yawn...Borrka-Borrka, try to invent something new... that really Russians have non-humain character for example...Then we will start to argue on this topic.
Do you know the difference between Russians and Poles?
Russians are ready to give away their national pride for some universal ideas, and Poles cannot. That is why you had lost your state (empire) in the past and (naturally will never be able to integrate in EU in full). You are the nation of self-destractors.
nothing wrong about that.
I don't think so, there is some racist faint notes in your words and it is quite obvious.
Sasha:
feel oppressed by current Ukranian governmen
Dreaming of liberation by Muscovites lol ?
I bet they are? Dose Poland have some minorities? I have heard that you have significant Tatar minority on your territory, is it true?
