In Ukraine, they are outraged that their country in Italy was called Little Russia

140

The Ukrainian Embassy in Italy called offensive the statement of the leading quiz L'Eredita (“Heritage”) Flavio Insinna on the Italian TV channel RAI. The channel’s leadership was informed of the “firm position” of Ukrainian diplomats and the demand “to correct their actions”.

A message about this appeared on the Facebook page of the Ukrainian Embassy in Rome.

During the program, which took place on January 26, program participants had to guess what would happen if we added the word “small” to the word “Russia”. The answer was supposed to be “Ukraine.” When the quiz participant couldn’t answer, Flavio Insinna explained that “Little Russia” or Little Russia is the second name of Ukraine.



This incident angered Ukrainian diplomats so much that it even came to an international scandal.

In a letter sent by the Ukrainian Embassy to the TV channel’s leadership, the meaning of the word “Little Russia” was explained, stating that this word was considered offensive to Ukrainians. For which particular Ukrainians is this historical the word is offensive, could not explain.

In the maidan Ukrainian press, meanwhile, the Italians act was called "arrogant", "incorrect" and "outrageous."

The embassy decided to publish the letter of the television company on Facebook, Ukrainian diplomats explained by the lack of reaction from the RAI television company.

Now it becomes clear why the song "Little Country" by Natasha Koroleva is banned in Ukraine ...

                It would be more correct to call the zapadentsiya tuporossiya. A little excursion from where the name Little Russia comes from. The three rivers that originate from the Valdai Upland were originally called the Great Rossa (Volga), Malaya Rossa (Dnepr) and Belaya Rossa (Western Dvina). Hence the names Great Russia, Little Russia and Belarus, and then the names were transformed into already modern names. Only "twins" in history can take offense at the name.

            Talkov's song "Little Town" is also prohibited. However, like all Talkov's songs. They are very much ... offensive to Nenki. And it doesn't matter that Talkov was killed back in the 90s and more there were no songs.

            PS In general, it feels like he was singing not about Russia, but about the future Ukrainian. Here banderlog and rage.

        I’ll try to explain, Little Russia is insulting not from the fact that it’s a small Russia, but from the very word -maloross — like a small one, an undershot, a younger, not grown, inferior country. This is how to recognize that Russia went from the Vikings and only thanks to them gained statehood, such as before there was a bunch of pagan tribes that were always at war with each other. В Ukraine doesn’t matter where- on Donbass, Carpathians, Polesie, Odessa, the word Little Russia, Little Russia everywhere is insulting, it is also connected with the tsarist times, when Ukrainians were denied the right to their own nation, their own language and created the conditions for development only in Russian, for good reason T.G. . Shevchenko, most of the works in surzhik or in Russian. I’m never a nationalist, but Little Russia, Little Russia are jarring at me, I think even in the Donbass you will not find understanding among people with these terms who are persistently trying to reanimate the Russians.

          it is not in vain that T.G.Shevchenko has the majority of works in surzhik or in Russian.
          In the time of Shevchenko, neither surzhik nor the Ukrainian language was invented yet. That is why he wrote in Russian, and in his "native Little Russian dialect" (his personal words) only a part of the poems. The word "adverb" is equivalent to the modern "dialect".
          In tsarist times, the Ukrainian nation was not denied the right to either a nation or a language. Because neither one nor the other did not exist then. The Ukrainian nation is a product of the special services of Austria-Hungary, and the word Ukrainian before the First World War did not mean nationality but political orientation. Extremely anti-Russian. Almost all Ukrainians were then Poles. The Ukrainian language was formed from the Poltava dialect with the inclusion of a huge number of Polonisms, and was incomprehensible even to educated people. He did not even have spelling rules, they used the "rule" as I hear and write. In the well-known example, it was equally correct to write and also ischo. Just for refusing to be called Ukrainians by the Austro-Hungarian authorities at the beginning of WWI, up to one hundred thousand people (Rusyns) were killed in the Tannerhof concentration camp. It is not for nothing that "the great Ukrainian writer" Ivan Franko wrote in his personal diary, "men who are today duzhe images (offended), called men Ukrainian. Ale all know sho I am a Rusyn." And the Ukrainian language was introduced into everyday life under Stalin. Without passing exams in the Ukrainian language (and no one knew it, at first the courses) they were not allowed to any state or port position.

            What does this cancel? In Poland there is no word for land? In modern Russian language, "land" has a different concept. In Russia, instead of the Polish "outskirts", there were their own designations "prison", "settlement". Personally, my ancestors did not live in any land, but in a settlement on the territory of modern Russia. Therefore, cards in Latin are not always true. The logs never disappeared and lived 1000 years ago. The language is similar and many words have survived in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, which fell out of use in Russia and lost their original meaning due to the GOST rules of Lunacharsky. The Vedas are found in the territories of the Slavs. A large number in the territory of modern Ukraine.

              Sloboda is a settlement outside the city wall. Ostrog is a place of imprisonment for criminals. These words have nothing to do with the designation of state outskirts. In modern Russian, the word "krai" has its original meaning - Altai krai, Krasnoyarsk krai, Krasnodar krai. This is a STATE formation, higher than the region, since it includes an autonomous region. In the Polish language, the word krai is for the simple reason that the Polish language (like all European ones, not only Slavic ones) came from Old Russian, now known as Sanskrit. This is not a dead language, slightly "spoiled" (according to professional Sanskritologists) Sanskrit and is now spoken in the north of the European part of Russia. And the outskirts in Russia were called Ukrainians, as an example was recorded a song in the 18th century "In the Siberian in the Ukraine, in the Daurian side". Dauria, if you don't know, this is Transbaikalia.

                  I can agree with the interpretation of the word prison, but not with the settlement. All cities were surrounded by settlements, and this was long before the peasants became serfs. Sloboda is a settlement of artisans near the city. They were called that - a blacksmithing settlement, a pottery settlement ... Later there was even a streletskaya settlement, and the archers could not have been serfs.

                    Do you understand the original meaning of "serf"? Attached, at the fortress. Huge territory and many resources, people could scatter. To prevent this from being led by serfdom, later, especially under the Romanovs, serfdom was turned into slavery. Sloboda was the border theory, where there were tax privileges, but it was also necessary to protect the land. A good example was the Slobozhanshchina on the site of the modern Kharkov, Voronezh, Borisoglebsk regions. Slobozhanshchina was originally settled by Great Russians, they are also state serfs (without landowners), or they were called Slobozhansky Cossacks. They had military success. In 1765 Slobozhanshchina became Sloboda (U, O) Krainsky. Formed four Cossack regiments. They were named by the Ukrainian Cossacks, local Zaporozhye. After the defeat of the Crimean Tatars, the Sloboda was disbanded and the buns were removed, renamed into the Kharkov province. It was in Kharkov that underground ukronophiles appeared (missed the buns) and there they published the newspaper "Ukrainian Bulletin" from the beginning of the 19th century. The story is simple and boring, but they will think of it so that Gogol is resting. As you can see, Slobozhanshchina was formed on the wasteland later cities appeared, including Kharkov and was a border stronghold. Don't read Polish maps :) in the morning with their outskirts.

                      How can you confuse a bunch of Ukrainian Cossacks (which did not exist at all), registered Cossacks, and grassroots (who were the Cossacks). In general, during the negotiations between Khmelnitsky and the tsar (and later), the official documents did not contain the words either Ukrainian (they had not yet invented him) or Cossack. Then they were called Cherkasy. Ukrainophiles really appeared in Kharkov, but they had nothing to do with the "buns". Then, through an oversight of the government, a large Polish diaspora was formed in Kharkov, and the pans dreamed of a new Rzeczpospolita. All the first Ukrainians were Poles.

Ukrainian Sloboda was formed twice since 1765 and for a total of 54 years, and that was the province of RI. Ukraine has not met more legal names. It was during this period that the regiments could be called Ukrainian (not officially). Who and why renamed Slobozhanshchina to Ukrainian Sloboda, did not study so deeply. Ukraine is clearly of Polish origin, at first not even successful, the Austrians picked up the propaganda of Ukrainization later. Now Russia is reaping their fruits and all the nonsense coming from there.

                          Then the word ukraine (just like that, both short and stress) in the Russian language had a clear meaning OKRAINE, and capital letters have not yet been invented. And people who lived on the outlying lands and defended these lands were given privileges and called Cossacks. The Cossacks were Don, Kuban, Ural, Siberian .... They had tax privileges and an obligation to protect borders. They lived in the Ukrainians and protected these outskirts of the country. So any of these Cossacks, according to the laws of derivation at that time, were Ukrainian. This was the meaning of the Cossacks - the Ukrainian (border) troops.

There are regional differences, but they are even smaller than in Italy or France. Or in Germany. In these countries, the differences in dialects are such that residents of different regions do not always understand each other. But this does not prevent them from considering themselves to be one nation, speaking the same language. Both the Saxon and the Bavarian are Germans, although they misunderstand each other. And in the Russian Federation, any person will freely understand both the Ukrainian and the Belarusian. These are NOT individual nationalities, but only regional differences.

      it is not in vain that T.G.Shevchenko has the majority of works in surzhik or in Russian.

      So he wrote in his native language. And it was these verses that were taught.
      The Ukrainians themselves hardly understand the current "mova". New Esperanto. In the 80s, I calmly read books in Ukrainian. Now nothing is clear at all.
      Neither the president nor the deputies speak "Power Mov".

      So the name "Ukraine" will soon be banned, which is in the logic of events. They will call it somehow "Middle", or "Upupzemli". While they were aiming at Russia, they say, Muscovy stole this name from them (while they, like, were sleeping) ...

          Muscovy is the name of only the Moscow principality of the period of feudal fragmentation. Have you heard anything about "collecting Russian lands"? Then learn history. Look for one title of the Russian Emperor, listing "which lands the sovereign" on the sheet. And you can look at real historical maps.

            We are not talking about history, but about how they call my country, whatever you suggest to yourself about Little Russia, no matter how you justify it for yourself, I will not tire of repeating, Little Russia is a word rudiment that died out along with mammoths, which is used only inside Muscovy and Muscovites, if you are again trying to introduce it into everyday life, then what are you offended by Muscovy, in Europe Russia is even worse called humble - Russia in Latvian is called Kreevija (Krievija, from the word Krivichi), aren't you Krivichi?

              Krivichi lived next to Zhmudins (modern Latvians), which is why they called it that. And for the adjacent areas, the historical area of ​​Krivichy, there is nothing offensive in this. But for the whole of Russia it’s wrong. Similarly, Little Russia is a small part of sovr. Ukraine. And Novorossia (the former wild field) is a completely different matter. There is also Slobozhanshchina, there is the Don Army area. These three parts were already attached to Ukraine by Stalin without any reason. And in fact, Ukraine is considered to be in the Western world only that west of Zbruch, Muscovites live east (despite the fact that they even forgot the origin of this word).
              And why are you offended by the word Little Russians, which was in use a hundred years ago. And at the same time you pull out the word Muscovites, which have ceased to be used for five hundred years?

                How skillfully you divide my country into Little Russia, Slobozhanshchina, New Russia, etc. Modern Ukraine, it is one in the West and in the Donbass and in Odessa. In Ukraine, these terms were used by the people before the revolution, and now it is one people who speaks Ukrainian, Russian and their mixture / surzhik in the common people. The fact that our Natsiks are trying to impose only the Ukrainian mov as the main one, causes rejection not only in the south-east of Ukraine but also among my friends and I, I believe that even films in a pure literary mov look fake, it is not so clean. And Ukrainian nationalists are to blame for the collapse of the country during the Maidan, Crimea and Donbass - this is a direct intervention of Russia, I think Yanek would have told a lot of interesting things about the role of Russia in the Maidan. But the Ukrainians who were unable to prevent and allowed the collapse of the country were to blame.

                  And Ukrainian nationalists are to blame for the collapse of the country during the Maidan

                  At least one clever statement. It is the collapse and precisely because of the Maidan. Performed by the nationalists under the guidance and money of foreign intelligence services. USA, Germany, Poland, a little Turkey. But the deed is ALREADY done, the broken pot cannot be glued. In Crimea, in the summer of 13, before all the Maidans (I was not on vacation but at a wedding), the locals openly said that we were under Ukrainian occupation for twenty years. And they took the first opportunity to leave. Donbass will never forgive the Ukrainian authorities for shelling, bombing, murders. In Ukraine, there are cemeteries for the "warriors of light" killed in the ATO (or, more correctly, in the civil war). But these are the military, they came there with weapons in their hands and fired. And in Donetsk there is a cemetery for CHILDREN killed by these "warriors of light". The people of Ukraine are NOT one people, the whole history of "nezalezhnosti" the east and west have ALWAYS voted in the opposite direction. And as a result of the Maidan, blood was added, and at least several generations will not forget this. In the United States, after the Civil War of 1860, another century was divided into South and North.
                  There was simply no direct Russian intervention on the Maidan; there was direct US intervention only. By their own admission (Victoria Nuland) they spent five billion dollars on this Maidan. The target was Crimea, an American military base in Crimea. There was ALREADY an American squadron in the Black Sea (it turned out to be by chance), and it went to the Crimea. Therefore, the events there developed so rapidly. Russia could not afford missiles with nuclear charges with a flight time of minutes in minutes, this is the reason for Crimea. And the reason for the Donbass is the Ukrainian Nazis, THEY started a civil war, then on YouTube there were a lot of published videos from phones.

                    Wow, what set of stamps formally seems to converge, but the devil is in the details, namely:
                    Perfect by nationalists under the leadership and with the money of foreign intelligence services. USA, Germany, Poland, a little Turkey.
                    Russia also forgot to add, do not underestimate the agents of influence. He who has eyes, let him see.
                    In the Crimea, back in the summer of 13, before all the Maidans (he was not on vacation but at a wedding), the locals openly spoke - we have been under Ukrainian occupation for twenty years. And took the first opportunity to leave.

                    I visited Crimea every year for work and leisure, I didn’t hear about the occupation, I heard about returning to Russia, I heard about the opportunity to leave - a well-planned operation of the Russian special services, in fact a direct invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the result of the world’s non-recognition of the annexation of Crimea by Russia.
                    There was simply no direct Russian intervention on the Maidan; there was direct US intervention only. By their own admission (Victoria Nuland) they spent five billion dollars on this Maidan.
                    they didn’t spend on the Maidan, but invested in Ukraine for all the time of independence, do not misinterpret the words, Russia invested many times more, just one last loan to Janek in $ 3 lard.
                    There was ALREADY an American squadron in the Black Sea (it turned out to be by chance), and it went to the Crimea. Therefore, the events there developed so rapidly. Russia could not afford missiles with nuclear charges with a flight time of minutes in minutes, this is the reason for Crimea.
                    do you believe that? Are there any facts? The Russian fleet was in Crimea, do you really believe these tales? Are you serious??
                    And the reason for the Donbass is the Ukrainian Nazis, THEY started a civil war, then on YouTube there were a lot of video clips published on phones.
                    I agree here, but judging by the behavior of Yanek, who did nothing to stop the ukronatsiks, I’m 110% sure that he needed them, and Russia took advantage of the situation very timely, I won’t be surprised when in the end it turns out that ears stick out for our liquidationists Russian agents of influence.

      Future history will wipe this state off the face of the earth. This is an obvious thing, because this country is artificial, if you look at it.
      Ukrainian is spoken in several areas of the western part of the country. But if you think about it, Ukrainian differs little from the Polish language. If Russia begins to restore sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders of 1945, the name Ukraine will simply disappear. It will be just Kiev, Odessa, etc., the region.

      What does "small" mean? Ukraine is in the top five European countries in terms of industry and the first in the agricultural sector. She has the strongest army and you are from European countries and the fleet is the sixth in the ranking. And in terms of per capita income in the top five. And by education (the proportion of university graduates per 1000 people) the first in Europe. Oh, sorry, 1991 opened the year ...
