The myth of the "ancient Ukrainians" and the war
A still from the film "Hetman's Kleinody" (1993)


Ancient Ukrainians


Before the opening of the Ukrainian Front in 2014–2022, Russian media and the blogosphere were accustomed to mocking the fabrications of Ukrainian mythmaking. They claimed that the "ancient Ukrainians" owed their existence to extraterrestrial civilizations. That the Ukrainian language is the oldest on the planet, the language of Noah and the basis for all ancient languages. That Ukrainian mythology is the oldest in the world. That the ancient Ukrainians created all the ancient civilizations on the planet, including Egyptian and Sumerian. That the Ukrainian-Aryans created the foundation of European civilization—Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. They also claimed that Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Homer, and Achilles were of Ukrainian origin.



Ukrainian writer Serhiy Plachinda, one of the creators of the new Ukrainian mythology, wrote:

Ukrainian mythology is the most ancient in the world. It became the foundation of all Indo-European mythologies, just as the ancient Ukrainian language—Sanskrit—became the mother of all Indo-European languages.

Plachinda is known for such works as "Dictionary of Ancient Ukrainian Mythology," "Myths and Legends of Ancient Ukraine," and "Lebedia: How and When Ukraine Was Founded." According to the writer, the Amazons, Pelasgians, Etruscans, Hyksos, and Venetians were all Ukrainian tribes.

There were a multitude of such writers and ideologists. From the very popular, who became experts, presenters, and prominent bloggers on TV and in all media, to the marginalized, with a small circle of followers.

In Russia, and even in Ukraine at the time, most sensible people laughed at such myths. They said that every country has village idiots and people with mental disabilities.

However, as has been shown story The split of the Russian world, the fratricidal slaughter and the Ukrainian Front, which has already consumed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russian people (including Russians-Little Russians-Ukrainians), one cannot underestimate the enemy in the ideological and informational confrontation.

Unfortunately, the terrible experience of the Third Reich had been virtually forgotten by this time. Yet it was the ideologists of the German Reich who created the concept of the primogeniture of Germanic-Aryans and the Germanic language. They revived pagan magical ideology, with the dominance of the "Black Sun" (Schwarze Sonne) project, the reversed, left-handed swastika.

They created a terrifying anti-human project and launched it into battle, attempting to destroy Soviet (Russian) civilization with its alternative global project based on social justice and the ethics of conscience. That terrible massacre claimed tens of millions of lives. The Russian world suffered enormous losses, sealing this breach into inferno (hell), destroying the black-brown plague.

Russian Janissaries


Westerners are masters of strategy, creating global and regional projects for decades and even hundreds of years to come. Therefore, the experience of Nazi Germany has not been forgotten, but rather successfully applied in "independent" Ukraine.

First split the united Russian civilization, the Russian super-ethnos in 1991, Having achieved the division of Great Russia into three Russian states, dismembering the single Russian super-ethnos.

Then they began brainwashing people about the "Litvins" in White Rus' and the "ancient Ukrs" in Ukraine (Little Rus'). They turned "Soviet Ukrainians," that is, Russians, but within the framework of the Ukrainian statehood artificially created in the USSR and the Ukrainian ethnic chimera (How the Bolsheviks created Ukraine), already "independent" Ukrainians. "Russian Janissaries," Russian by blood (throughout the generations of their ancestors, back to Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Svyatoslav Igorevich) and language, but who hated Russianness, Russian history, culture, and language.

Essentially, generations of "Uk-orcs" are being formed, if we take the conceptual framework of the universe of British writer John Tolkien. Orcs are corrupted elves, disfigured by dark magic. In the film "The Lord of the Rings," Saruman says to the Uruk-hai captain:

Do you know well how orcs came to be? They were once elves. Dark forces captured them, tortured them, and mutilated them. A terrible, twisted life form. I perfected it, my Uruk-hai warrior. Whom do you serve?

Part of the Russian world—the historical Kyivan, Chernigov, Galicia-Volyn Rus', Little Rus'-Russia, and Novorossiya—was torn away from Greater Russia. Part of the Russian super-ethnos—Russians-Little Russians-Ukrainians—was mutilated, corrupted, and brainwashed.

This led to the successful expulsion of the liberal, nationalist crowd to two Maidan protests (in 2004 and 2014), destroying the concept of a post-Soviet, neutral Ukraine, which, like a gentle calf suckling two mothers (it benefited from its friendship with the West and Russia), and provoking a civil war, symbolized by the monstrous massacre in Odessa and the shelling of Donbas. Ultimately, it provoked a war between the two Russian powers, which continues to this day.

Create a Ukrainian Front as part of a "matrix reset" in the form of a lighter version of World War IV, threatening the collapse of the Russian Federation and the transformation of Russians into the same ethnographic material as "Ukrainians" who are ready to flee Ukraine "carcass or stuffed" and become Poles, Germans, or Canadians.

To transform Novorossiya and Little Rus' into a battlefield, a new Ruin, where the demographic potential of Russian civilization and the Russian people is destroyed. Where Westerners bury Russia's future, resolving the "Russian question" through the dismemberment and absorption of the Russian land. Transforming Russians into ethnographic "meat," devoid of language, culture, and history.

Thus, funny fables and myths became the basis for terrible and completely unfunny regional and global events. Therefore, Ukrainian mythology must be studied as an enemy and very dangerous method of informational, cultural and ideological warfare, which the masters of the West have been waging against Rus' for over a thousand years.

            You don't know history very well. There was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Principality of Moldavia and Wallachia, a kingdom in Georgia, emirates in Azerbaijan, and khanates in what is now Central Asia. The only people they ever walked all over were the Khikhli, Estonians, and Latvians.

                The Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) long dominated Eastern Europe, and if the Lithuanians had adopted Orthodoxy as their religion, Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov, Tver, and Ryazan would likely have become part of the Lithuanian state. After Lithuania's unification with Poland, Catholics and nobles began to oppress the Orthodox and commoners in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which led to the loss of that state's independence. Moldova never played a significant role in Europe. Although the stupid, chauvinistic textbook for Moldovan schoolchildren, "History of the Romanians," published after 1990, presents Moldovan history in a highly exaggerated manner.

      Schneeberg, it would be interesting to ask Europeans: How do they feel about the fact that they are descended from Ukrainians?
      I think they'll laugh their heads off too.
      But strangely enough, no one asks them, and those who might have been asked remain silent.
      It seems like Churkin (UN) teased the Ukrainians, asking if they had read Ukrainian textbooks?
      I propose that the Russian Academy of Sciences send a couple of textbooks to European and American philologists and historians and ask their opinions.
      Yes, and to Israel too.

        Russophobic textbooks for Eastern Europe were and are written with Western grants under the watchful eye of Western European and American historians. In the USSR and Russia, history teachers are often rebellious dissidents, while in Great Britain, during the war, historians are mobilized for intelligence and counterintelligence. The historian Farago wrote a good book about the Abwehr, but he also participated in Operation Splitting Factor on the Czechoslovak front, as a result of which Stalin, Beria, and Abakumov effectively became Allen Dulles's agents of influence from 1947 to 1953, and were manipulated by the CIA.

    The author is completely wrong here when he writes that...the united Russian civilization, the Russian super-ethnos, was split in 1991. This was done even earlier, in 1917! What happened now with the discovery of the Great Ukrainians, supposedly superior to the Russian nation and demanding its destruction or at least subjugation, could have begun immediately after the October Revolution, since virtually every former province formed "independent" and "self-sufficient" republics under the leadership of the Bolsheviks. Thank God, he sent Stalin to Russia then, and he united everything again into a single empire called the USSR. But since Stalin was also a Bolshevik, the USSR empire was created not according to the geographical-economic principle of dividing its constituent territories, but according to national division. Moreover, each of its constituent republics also had its own Central Committees of its own Communist Parties, and, most dangerously, its own parliaments - Supreme Soviets, its own constitution, etc. Stalin's simultaneous pre-war purge of all kinds of internal enemies implied that they would lie low, for example, those who professed the superiority of Ukrainians over Russians, while simultaneously waiting for "their own" to come to power in the USSR. And Khrushchev came. Only the lazy have not written about how Khrushchev released people from the camps.
    Banderites—preachers of Ukrainian superiority over Russians. Brezhnev also refused to accept any revisions to determine whether this braga of superiority over Russians was brewing in the Ukrainian SSR and the Baltic SSRs. And it was brewing there very strongly. And it exploded in 1991. Incidentally, the same could happen to the Russian Federation if the Russian Federation continues to divide itself not by geographic and economic principles, but by nationality into republics, territories, and regions.

      The comments are consistent with the author's assertion "within the framework of the Ukrainian statehood artificially created in the USSR."

      Ukrainian statehood wasn't created in the USSR, but long before it, and long before the Third Congress of the RSDLP, which gave birth to the Bolsheviks. Take Grushevsky, for example:

      "The History of Ukraine-Rus" (Ukrainian: Історія України-Руси) is a ten-volume monograph by the Ukrainian historian and ideologist of Ukrainianism Mykhailo Hrushevsky. It covers the history of the lands of modern Ukraine up to the mid-17th century. The first volume of "The History of Ukraine-Rus" was published in Lviv in 1898.

      The justification for Ukraine's separation thus appeared back in the 19th century.

      After the fall of the autocracy, "separatists" immediately emerged in Ukraine, ready to raise the question of Ukraine's state independence. The Provisional Government was forced to enter into negotiations with them, asking that the question of Ukraine's secession be postponed until the Constituent Assembly. In November 1917, immediately after the fall of the Provisional Government, the Ukrainian People's Republic was proclaimed, which in 1918 declared its state independence. It was this republic that the Bolsheviks fought against, ultimately prevailing and annexing Ukraine as part of the Treaty Establishing the Formation of the USSR.

      The fact that the union republics retained the formal characteristics of independent states did not threaten the country's unity for 70 years, while the party system was in effect. Incidentally, the US states are formally separate countries, which in no way leads to the fragmentation of the state. Problems with the federal structure began when the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was removed from power and oligarchic structures, supported by foreign intelligence agencies, seized control. Their main goal became the fragmentation of the country and the elimination of a geopolitical competitor to the West. Under this condition, the local oligarchy received resources from the fragments of the USSR and the opportunity to invest their stolen wealth in the West.

        What was Bolshevism's strong point? The federal structure emerged with the understanding that the USSR was open to the inclusion of other republics, primarily Germany. Expectations of revolution in Europe were high at the time. This federal principle was then accepted.

        At the same time, nationalists, tasked with preparing the ground for independence, infiltrated both Soviet and party bodies. This process is vividly depicted in Soviet films, for example, in "We Must Not Forget This." They were combated, although this should have been done more consistently.

    I remember the late 80s, eastern (!!!) Ukraine (Kharkiv). The general mood back then was something like this: it was the Soviet Union's fault for Chernobyl (that was the language used back then), Moscow was to blame. Back then, it wasn't yet possible to openly say "Russia is to blame, the Russians are to blame," and so on, but that's exactly how they thought. Like, the Soviet Union built us factories, ports, power plants, plants, mines, and so on, but we didn't need it. We'd rather have "a little hut and a cherry orchard nearby," a dacha, in short, if we're talking about the city dwellers. But we don't need all this Moscow built for us at all. Just a moment, I'm Estonian and I came there from Tallinn to see them. They opened up to me like that.

      You suddenly reminded me of how, in the very beginning of the 90s, already from Moscow, I called my friend, a professor in one of the departments of one of the Kharkov institutes, which I graduated from in the mid-80s... He told me back then (practically the first year of independence), that, having watched the meetings of the Rada, he realized that this state is not viable... and it was the industrial centers, Kharkov (I remember the shooting at the barricades there), Dnepropetrovsk, Donbass that rose up in 2014

        You won't believe it. People who "became Ukrainians." First-generation Ukrainians, basically. A retired soldier and his family—he retired sometime in the late 1970s and settled in Kharkiv—and his brother and his family—they came to Kharkiv for a visit, but they themselves had lived in Mykolaiv since the mid-1980s. Their dacha community shared the same view. A similar point of view was voiced when I was visiting a village in the Cherkasy region, back in the 1990s and 1991s.

          Thanks for the answer... "yeah right"@, as they say, "newcomers" :)
          This isn't typical for Kharkiv, but in the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv regions, there are plenty of "farmsteaders," and like any "buckwheat growers" (the same Luddites of the 20th century), they don't welcome anything that goes beyond the bull's tail...
          They got a lot of things "free of charge, i.e. for nothing"@, a good example is the training sailing barque "Tovarishch" in Kherson (née "Gorkh Fok"), after just 2 years (1993) the separatists in their shipyards were unable to repair it competently and sent it to England for this... there it turned out that there was no money for repairs, however, as well as for the maintenance of a small crew in "Europes"... The Germans bought it, carefully restored it, returned it to its original name and now you can see it in Stralsund, and the buckwheat farmers here also made a profit of half a million on "on you, God, what is not good for me" :)

    It started off well, and then it's over... what a strange article. If it's about myths, then it should be about myths and their debunking, otherwise it's just some propaganda clichés.

    So yes, you can turn an elf into an orc, but you can't turn an orc into an elf. Moreover, you can't live in peace with them either, because they are orcs...
    Well, something like this.

    Well, all 15 States on the territory of the Russian Empire and the USSR did not exist before the capture and dismemberment of the USSR by its enemies.
    You are mistaken, the USSR was a union of 15 independent states with their own borders.
    This became one of the main reasons for its collapse in 91.

      Stop falsifying everything to benefit the enemies of the USSR. Just read what the abbreviation "USSR" means. You, the enemies of the USSR, not only captured the USSR but also divided it into your separate states, against the will of the majority of voters in a referendum on preserving the USSR. You hate each other with a passion and refuse to live together in one country any longer. You've been proving this throughout your entire vicious anti-Soviet period, including by starting wars among yourselves and selflessly killing each other.

        Stop falsifying everything to benefit the enemies of the USSR. At least read what the abbreviation "USSR" means.
        You should read this.

        Union Republic is sovereign state, which united with other Soviet republics to form the USSR.
        Each republic-state even had its own constitution.
        Each union republic had the right to enter into relations with foreign states, conclude treaties with them, etc.

        That is, formally the USSR was not a single state like the earlier Russian Empire, which had not republics, but provinces.
        That is why in 91 the union collapsed like a house of cards, because the communists at the time did not think to abolish sovereignty and borders.

    They have a radio station called "Era" there. Around 2016, I heard a speech by some academician of the sharovarnykh sciences. I'll quote it verbatim: "Ancient Hercules, the people of Ukraine." I was shocked. I didn't even breathe for 2-3 seconds. ))) And 80 percent of Ukrainians believe it!
    Since childhood, I've loved jokes about Ukrainians! I can tell them for hours.

      And yet, they have a stronger position than in Russia. They've gleaned what's advantageous from the latest historical research and built their own mythology on it.
      In Russia, however, having a more solid base and much more favorable conditions for interpreting modern research in their favor, they preferred to continue to adhere to the unfavorable Western mythology.
      Specifically, the myths about Hercules were created in the Middle Ages based on the life of Andrei Bogolyubsky (Andronicus, Emperor of Byzantium). His birthplace may have been Sevastopol. I won't go into more detail; those interested will know or can find the material elsewhere.

          Our history has been falsified by court German historians; Lomonosov wrote about this. But we continue to believe the history of these visiting writers.

    Empty rehashing of old memories. And blaming all sorts of former leaders and scapegoats.
    The main thing is not to say a word about the teacher of today's elite - Yeltsin and his grateful students in the Kremlin.

    They screwed up the economy, aircraft manufacturing, auto manufacturing, shipbuilding, and so on... they gave up territory to China, Europe, but don't mention that they screwed up Ukraine too... It's better to blame it all on 1) first the Maidan oligarchs, 2) then the European Commissioners, 3) then the State Department, 4) and, once hope of making peace with Trump appeared, on Britain and Germany...

    This is a weather vane...

      The enemies of the USSR are an anomaly, and their ideology, propaganda, their geopolitics, their "history" of our country and people are anomalous - always AGAINST others, and they are insanely afraid to honestly discuss themselves and what they themselves have done.

    the oldest Ukrainian language
    - this is pure "surzhyk", a mixture of dialects and Polish.
    It is not for nothing that the Poles "ruled" in those regions for several centuries (practically deporting and exterminating peoples).

    The Amazons, Pelasgians, Etruscans, Hyksos and Wends were, according to the writer, Ukrainian tribes.

    Ukrainians domesticated the horse, invented the wheel, and Jesus was also Ukrainian...

    How can one write about Ukraine's primogeniture if the climate of Mesopotamia, Egypt, North Africa, and the entire Middle East was more favorable?
    Shouldn't we read textbooks and go to school, but read all sorts of nonsense?
    Okay, so let there be rampant Satanism in Ukraine. But everyone still has to finish school. In schools, teachers are mostly professors. They taught from textbooks, after all.
    Are you saying that in the history textbooks of the ancient world, in the legends and myths of ancient Greece, in Roman history, in the history of the Middle Ages, “Ukraine” was imprinted everywhere?!
    In Russian? Or Latin? Or what?!
    An interesting opinion. But are you sure you're not an orthodox person who thinks either good or bad about himself?

    on the battlefield, a new Ruin, where the demographic potential of Russian civilization and the Russian people is being destroyed

    The demographic potential of Russian civilization and the Russian people is being destroyed not in the Russian Federation itself, but within the Russian Federation itself, where a demographic catastrophe is raging. Citizens don't want to reproduce in a hopeless existence, after all, for over 30 years they've been told that only personal well-being matters in life, that you should live for yourself, and that the state owes you nothing; there's no money, but you persevere; if you want money, go into business; pasta always costs the same; mortgages are like legalized slavery for 20 years or more, and so on and so forth. The end result is what we have: depopulation, or, to put it simply, the extinction of the Russian Federation's population. Neither the influx of new Russians from migrants nor from new territories helps.
    This is what's scary, this is what needs to be alarmed. However, those at the top are already concerned and ringing alarm bells, worrying and feigning distress, but they can't do anything, because ZAO "RF" was created not to preserve and increase the wealth of its people, but to preserve and increase the superprofits of its beneficiaries.

      "Citizens don't want to reproduce in a hopeless existence"
      All peoples and civilizations have experienced such periods. Only those who considered starting a family and procreation a religious duty survived. Either we restore ancestral traditions, the cult of ancestors, or we die out—there is no third option.

    When a national idea is lacking, history is rewritten. I recently watched Afrocentrism, where Africans earnestly argue that everything great comes from Africa. Have you seen old icons with dark-skinned people? It's not the paint that's oxidized over time, it's the Africans. fellow
    What's the point? Well, I'm just hinting.

    Ethnos begins with the creation of mythology. Similar phenomena occurred in the West during the early Middle Ages. The only difference is that archaeology didn't exist back then. Now, myths are attached to archaeological data. Ukraine was simply ahead of its time; in the 22nd century, this will be a widespread phenomenon. The barbarization of the Russian language (analogous to Vulgar Latin) is currently in full swing, and the collapse of the public education system will facilitate this process.
