#004 Ukrainian Real History Recap

There is no excuse for ignorance on the subject, not in 2022 with the internet, which I remind it can also be used to review history.

Since years and years of propaganda fry the brain to the point of having people denying the Holocaust, apparently, there is also a need to review this too.

For those who still do not know the history of Ukraine, I invite you to read in full and click on the sources, I have done you the favor of readjusting them all to facilitate your use.

‼ ️Kyiv 🇺🇦❤️ was founded in 482

‼ ️The mass baptism of Kyiv 💦 took place in 988

‼ In charge of the Baptizing was the Prince of "La Rus" Volodymyr🤴🏻 (956-1015)

‼ ️Moscow was not founded in 1147 by Yuri Dolgoruky

In his time, Yuri Dolgoruky did not found Moscow, but snatched it from the Suzdal Kuchka boyar Stepan Ivanovich, who owned villages along the Moscva River, killing him.

‼ ️Yurii Dolgoruky himself was the great-grandson of Volodymyr Svyatoslavovich, who baptized Rus. And Yuriy Dolgoruky is buried in Kyiv near the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra

So for the neighbors from the north, Kyiv🇺🇦 is a sacred place!

☝️ The territory of Kyivan Rus was:

  - 11th century, 800,000 sq. Km

  - XII century 1.300.000 sq. Km

And 🌏Kyiv Rus' stretched from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea and the White Sea!

For comparison, the territory of Ukraine today is “only” 603,548 sq km

The name “Ukraine” is first mentioned in the Kyiv Chronicle of 1187 ❗️❗️❗️

And it has nothing to do with “periphery”, on the contrary, the root of the word “Kraina” means the state.

The name “Russian Empire” was coined by Peter I, who on 22 October 1721 renamed the State of Moscow, using the name of another state.

 How come?

 🟢Well, first of all, what do you know about the Moscow kingdom before the rebranding?

 🟢Secondly, Rus-Ukraine was already a valuable and respected European name at the time.

 The Kyiv princes had family ties with virtually all royal houses in Europe.

 I remember the chapel of St. Margaret in Edinburgh, where it is indicated that she is the granddaughter of Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv

And even Macron knows that Queen Anne of France was the daughter of Yaroslav the Wise 😉

Rus was one of the European centers of education.

 The first educational institution is mentioned in 988 in the Tale of Past Years

The second appeared in 1030, created by Yaroslav the Wise in Novgorod.

 Ostroh Academy was founded in 1576,

 Kiev-Mohylianska - in 1615.

 📚📚📚Kyiv Mohyla Academy itself has become the cradle of Ukrainian education.

Graduates of the Academy were the founders of numerous schools in Russia and Belarus, especially in the 18th century.

They founded schools and seminaries in almost all cities of what is now modern Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Smolensk, Rostov, Tobolsk, Irkutsk, Kholmogory, Tver, Belgorod, Suzdal, Vyatka, Vologda, Kolomna, Ryazan, Pskov, Veliky Ustyuz, Astrakhan, Kostroma, Volodymyr in Klyazma and other cities. The teachers of these schools were mainly graduates of the Kyiv Academy

🧐 The famous scientist Mykhailo Lomonosov was also a graduate of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. But first he graduated from the “Spasska School”, founded by a graduate of the same Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

⚔️🛡⚔️It is also important to remember the Ukrainian soldiers.

 The whole of Europe knows, not by hearsay, about Ukrainian (not Russian) Cossacks. And not just from textbooks.

In almost all European wars, of which there were hundreds, one in three mercenaries was a Ukrainian Cossack.

The history of World War II would not have been as it was without the Ukrainians, and this is a fact. This is evidenced by the terrible number of victims, more than 50% of the dead citizens of the USSR were Ukrainians.

It is extremely uncomfortable for Russia to be a world entity that does not have its own history, its name and its own people. After all, even “Russian” is not a nationality, but belonging to the territory.

And the Russian language is artificial

😪 And it's not just the history of Ukraine that they are trying to destroy, but the whole nation.

The Ukrainian language has been banned 134 times❗️❗️❗️

😔Ukrainians were destroyed by the famine imposed by the Russian totalitarian regime, recognized as genocide in 1932-1933—the totalitarian communist regime killed 10.5 million Ukrainians (need to remember Hitler's numbers?)

One could continue the long list of crimes and thefts that Muscovy, the heir to the traditions of the Horde, is trying to hide. But they will not succeed.

They haven't learned the lessons of history.

UKRAINIANS are a NATION that has successfully survived under conditions of chaos and threat for the past 400 years.

The empire they faced has already ceased to exist.

And the same fate will also befall the Russian occupiers.

For the Ukrainians, unlike the invaders, freedom, and dignity are above all things 🇺🇦.
