The survey conducted by the sociological group "Rating", showedThat 68% of respondents adhere to this point of view. Total 9% believe that Russia is the successor of Kievan Rus. Another 6% believe that neither Ukraine nor Russia can claim the legacy of the ancient Russian state, and 17% could not give an answer. Most of those who called Ukraine the successor of Kievan Rus live in the west and in the center of the country (in terms of 79%). In the south of the country this version is followed by 54%, in the east - 51%.
It is noted that in ten years the number of those who consider Ukraine to be the heir of Kievan Rus has increased - in 2008, this answer was given by 54%. It is also indicated that the percentage of those who consider Russia the successor of the Old Russian state to Russia has halved - ten years ago these were 18%. The survey was conducted on 3-10 on August 2018 of the year among two thousand residents of Ukraine older than 18.
Thus, the nationalistic policy of Kiev led to a complete politicalhistorical and cultural disorientation of the population of Little Russia (Ukraine). As the generations of people who received a normal education in the USSR leave, more and more “Ukrainians” —Russians with “brainwashed”, zombified by Ukrainians (Ukrainian ideology). For them, the “Muscovites-Russians” are the enemies, occupiers and descendants of the Mongols and Finno-Ugrians, and the “Ukrainians” are the “true Slavs”, the heirs of Ancient Russia.
That is, we see a repetition of what was in the Third Reich. The technique is the same. Only in fake, farcical image. Since in Germany they really built a world empire - the Eternal Reich, with powerful industry, the military industrial complex, with the priority of the newest technology, created advanced armed forces, supported the growth of the number of German people, developed infrastructure (factories, energy, new buildings, roads, bridges, etc.) d.) In Ukraine, the opposite is true - the complete collapse and destruction of the rich Soviet inheritance. The masters of the West, who control the colonial regime in Kiev, are doing everything to destroy the southwestern part of the Russian superethnos. They deliberately destroy the Russian language and culture, history, create a fake “Ukrainian history”, distort the language and culture, which leads to spiritual and intellectual degradation of the people. They destroy and plunder the national economy - industry and rural areas, industrial, energy, transport and social infrastructure. They cut down forests, poison water, rivers. Bleed Russian with Russian, unleashed a fratricidal war in the Donbass. Turn the youth of Ukraine into "zombies", "cannon fodder", brought up in hatred and fear, aimed only at the war with Russia. Criminal revolution, the collapse of the health care system. And then it will only get worse. In particular, Ukraine is on the verge of a complete infrastructural collapse - investment after the collapse of the USSR in the energy sector, the housing and utilities system, the railway network, roads, bridges, urban planning, airports, etc., did not exist or they were minimal. Republic on the verge of complete collapse. After the collapse of the USSR, Kiev was never able to create a full-fledged development project, to take advantage of its unique position of the “bridge” between Russia and Europe. The policy of the oligarch-thieves and the Nazis accelerated the approach of disaster.
It is not surprising that once one of the most prosperous republics of the Soviet Union (Great Russia) rapidly dying out. Thus, after the collapse of the USSR, the population of Ukraine decreased from 52 to 42 million, while the death rate in the country significantly exceeds the birth rate, according to the Ukrainian TV channel TSN. “We are the first nation in the world that can disappear completely. Think about the number: in 25 years - minus 10 million Ukrainians. This is the whole of Sweden, Greece or Portugal. ” There was no such catastrophic loss of population either during the famine of 1930, or even during World War II. According to the leader, about 1,5 thousand Ukrainians die on average every day. 1 thousand - from heart attacks, more 200 - from cancer. 18 people commit suicide in Ukraine every day, 13 people die in traffic accidents. In addition, in the Donbass three Ukrainian security officials die every day. On 100 born in Ukraine, as noted in the plot, there are 140 dead. Every year, as many citizens of the country die as live in Khmelnytsky, Sumy or Chernivtsi.
At the same time, the real numbers may differ significantly - so, according to a number of experts, the population of Ukraine is only 35 million. The population census was last held 18 years ago, and the authorities are constantly putting it off. There are breakaway regions - the Crimea and the Donbass. Several million people are constantly on earnings in Europe and in Russia. Young people, seeing no prospects in Ukraine, strive to flee, to join in at least as a janitor, even as a servant in richer countries. Being actually a slave in some western country is more profitable and satisfying than a “free Ukrainian”.

The West is quite satisfied. As various liberal fascists have repeatedly noted, in Russia and Ukraine-Little Russia - an “excess population”. For servicing the colonial needs, like the "pipe", 40 million people are enough in Russia, and 20 million in Ukraine. Everything is according to the plans of Hitler and other haters of Russia and Russians. Russian superethnos, including Little Ukrainians, is dying out. A part of the Russian-Little Russians is “zombied” and is used for a fratricidal war, as “cannon fodder” in the thousand-year confrontation between Russia and the West. Part turned into slaves, the servants of the Western masters of slave owners. White slaves from Ukraine should “dilute” the flow of the Arab-African migration flow to Europe. Local oligarch thieves, the colonial administration, with the full support of the West, plunder the remaining wealth of the country, in particular, land, forest. In fact, in the Ukraine, a cultural, socio-economic genocide regime has been established, a society of extermination and self-destruction has been created. People, realizing their own uselessness and servile status (at least at the subconscious level), are fleeing or dying out — mass alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide, murder, etc. There is a release of “living space” from the Russians.
Fake culture, language and history, which impose on the inhabitants of Ukraine, helps in the creation of European slaves (slaves). This is one of the global trends - the creation of a "man of the world" ("gray race"), without cultural, linguistic, national and historical roots. The ideal slave is a consumer whose opinion is shaped by the world's leading media and information networks.
In general, the only salvation of the Ukraine is Ukraine in reunification with Russia and the overall development project. At the same time, you should not think that everything is lost or to abandon the western part of Ukraine, in particular, the ancient Russian city of Lviv. So, the German Nazis "processed" the people in just a few years (this is without mass TV and the Internet!). The majority of the population sincerely believed in the “chosenness” of the Germans, the Aryan, the Nordic race, the “invincibility”, etc. But also quickly and in Germany and Austria, denacification was carried out - a set of measures aimed at cleansing society, culture, the press, the economy, education, jurisprudence and policies of the influence of the Nazi ideology. Active Nazis were deprived of civil rights, dismissed from senior positions, war criminals were subject to criminal punishment. I.e these processes are manageable and reversible. In the same way, it is possible to carry out the denazification of Ukraine, to return it to Russianness, the general Russian faith, culture, history and language.
We must remember that The “history of Ukraine” and “Ukrainians” are a false history and an ethnic chimera. They were invented back in Poland, the Vatican, supported in Austria and Germany, and then in England and the USA (in the West) to dismember the united Russian civilization (Russia) and the Russian superethnos. In Kievan Rus, then in the Ukraine and the Ukrainian SSR, there were Russian people (Ruses). So it was a thousand years ago, in the time of Bogdan Khmelnitsky and a hundred years ago. “Ukraine” and “Ukrainians” were created by decision-making in Soviet Russia, which was a huge mistake (or sabotage). Prior to this, the “Ukrainians” were a small marginal handful among the intelligentsia of Little Russia, which has practically no influence among the West Russian population.
The concept of Kievan Rus, like Moscow Russia, is an artificial concept created by historians of the Russian Empire and supported by historians of the USSR. It was created to differentiate, territorially and in time, the periods of the common history of the Russian state. The Russians never called themselves the inhabitants of “Kievan Rus” or “Ukraine”, “Muscovy”. From ancient times, they lived in Russia, the Russian land, considered themselves Russes, Russians. All historical monuments, chronicles, documents speak of the “Russian land”, “Russian princes”, “Russian law”, “Russian truth”, “Russian family”, “Russian people”. The word "Rusin" is used for an individual, in the plural - "Russian", as the noun collectively occurs the word "Russia". In the "Kievan Rus" lived Russia, Russian. That is how the inhabitants of Russia self-identified themselves a thousand years ago. They did not call themselves "Ukrainians", "Ukrainians-Rus", "Little Russians", "Eastern Slavs" or "Russians".
Nothing has changed in later times, when the Western Russian lands were included in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Russian, and Poland. The national composition of the western part of Russia has not changed. As the Rus-Russians lived there, they continued to live. Kiev and Lviv remained Russian cities. The toponym "Ukraine" and the ethnonym "Ukrainians" in the sources of ancient Russia are not! Later, the “Ukraine-outskirts” began to call the lands distant from the new political center of Russia-Russia - Moscow. For example, the Pskov "Ukrainian" or Siberian. The Poles assimilated the West Russian nobility (the clans of the Slutsk, Zaslavsky, Vishnevetsky, Chartaryi, Pronsky, Ruzhinsky princes, etc.). Russian nobility completely naturalized into the "Poles": they married Polish women, they spoke Polish, accepted Catholicism, and gave their children to Polish educational institutions. But the nobility was an insignificant part of the people, the population of Western Russia was Russian. The people retained their Russianness, Orthodox faith, language, traditions, memory. This predetermined the victory of the Russian national liberation war led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky. By the way Khmelnitsky, speaking of the war with the Poles, "wanting to eradicate the Church of God, so that the Russian name is not remembered in our land, very clearly and clearly gave an understanding of the higher meaning of the struggle, as the war of the Russian people for national independence, the preservation of Russianness. Actually, nothing has changed at the present time - once again, the struggle of the West against Russia takes on the character of a war for the preservation of Russian civilization, the Russian people, culture, language and history — Russianness.
The Russianness of Western Russia (Little Ukraine-Ukriana) was preserved until the beginning of the XX century. Only a few representatives of the Ukrainian intelligentsia, generated by the intrigues of the Polish, Roman Catholic and Austrian authorities, who fought for the dismemberment of the body of a single Russian state and people, considered themselves "Ukrainians". During World War II, the Austro-German authorities staged a genocide of the active part of the West Russian population in order to subjugate the population of the western part of Russia. But only the Revolution, the Troubles of 1917 of the year, allowed to create a “independent” Ukraine - a series of Ukrainian bantustans passed (Central Rada, Hetmanate, Directory). They could arise only because of the collapse of Russia and outside support. They were limited by time, did not have the resource to organize a broad attack on the Russian language, culture and history, common to all Russians, no matter where they lived - in the Kyiv region, Ryazan or Siberia. The case was mainly limited to the adoption of high-profile declarations, and the comedic change of signs on shops and government institutions. To this was added the expulsion from the work of employees who did not own the Ukrainian (South Russian dialect, deliberately distorted by Polonism and new words).
The case moved under the Bolsheviks, when the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) and the Ukrainian people were created in a directive way. The case of Ukrainization was put on a state basis. Involved all structures, from education to legislative and punitive. Here, not only was the documentation, signboards and newspapers translated into the newsprint, but it was even forbidden to speak Russian in institutions. The wild binge of Russophobia lasted for more than ten years, from the middle of the 1920-s to the critical 1937 year, when the most rabid Ukrainianatry fanatics themselves found themselves in the ranks of the "enemies of the people" (deservedly) and went to the camps in thousands. Under Stalin, officially Ukrainization was not banned, but it ceased to be a priority, stalled.
During the Great War, when Ukraine was occupied by the Nazis, active Ukrainization was continued. In Berlin, great attention was paid to the dismemberment and destruction of Russia and the Russian people, and in this case the Ukrainian question was the most important. He allowed tens of millions of people to be separated from the Russian super-ethnos. Hitler did not ask himself a question: why the overwhelming majority of the “Ukrainians” do not own Ukrainian. One thing was important to him: at any cost, reduce the number of the Russian people in order to maximally weaken their resistance to the occupation regime. This is the age-old strategy of all the enemies of Russia and the Russian people. Ukrainization is a great form of ethnic genocide, the more “Ukrainians”, the less Russian.
However, the plans of Hitler and his Ukrainian friends were not implemented. The Red Army put an end to the dreams of creating a separatist Ukrainian Bantustan under the protectorate of the Eternal Reich. Another attempt at Ukrainization was made during Khrushchev's “Shifting-1”, but under Brezhnev the case was allowed to run free. No plans were made to expand the use of the Ukrainian Newspeak, and without state support, Ukrainians began to die off naturally. Only the collapse of the USSR and the creation of an “independent” Ukraine allowed the launch of a new large-scale campaign to Ukrainize Western Russia-Russia.
The results are sad: the colonial policy in all its glory; deindustrialization; spiritual, cultural, and intellectual degradation; real psychocrash; fratricidal war; the creation of a NATO bridgehead for further "onslaught to the East" using the Ukrainian army as "cannon fodder"; extinction of the western part of the Russian superethnos.
