Partitialy the same religion, my ass
Like it or not Heresson, we- Russians and Ukranians were Orthodox, are Orthodox and will be Orthodox forever. You seems to do not understand where R U S S I A N Orthodoxy started. It started in K I E V, in 988, when Vladimir converted citezens of Kiev- the capital of Slavic state to Christianity by force. You seems to do not understand that we- Ukranians and Russians (there were no such determination in those times of course) were one nation, one culture and one civilization. And even consider that we were separated from each other untill in 1654 when we were united again, it doesn't make us different civilizations. As well as last 11 years of Ukranian independence don't make it.

You could argue the same that Poles
and Slovakians are the same civilization. |
No, I wouldn't . You guys are trully unique dudes. 
Argueing about differences between Russian and Ukranian civilizations, it's not even a debate about two apples. It's debate about differences betwen two halfs of the same apple- one is a bit bigger, perhaps (they can't be of the same size), second is a bit more red...So what? It's two halfs of the same apple anyway.

At this time all Slavs, from £aba/Elbe to Dniepr were one nation, one civilisation... It doesn't prove anything.

Soon Ukrainians missed Poles and united with them again... Russia never held entire Ukraine in modern shape; only SU did.
Most of Ukraine Russia got only after partages of Poland, at the end of XVIII century.
Not much more than 200 years ago.

And which big things they done using this feeling? Last 350 years we lived in one state with them. How could you separate Russian/Ukranians/all other people's that populated Russia acheivments from each other? I really wish to know.

This way You could claim that all nations that populated Russia in any time are inseparatable.
Again, you don't prove anything.

And once again, if one will make a civ with capital- Kiev and call it Ukraine, it will be a mistake, because it wasn't a capital of Ukraine. It was capital of Slav's state- Kiev Rus

You mean Slavs' state I guess.
First of all, it was founded by Vikings...
quote:
- the state of SLAVS (Russians, Ukranians, Beylorussians), not Ukranians. How could you torn away Kiev Rus from Russian history is beyond me.
|
Rome was once the capital of Roman Empire. Does it mean we can't create an Italian civ?
Anyway, Slavs are (again and again i repeat that until You'll remember about that);
-Russians
-Ukrainians
-Poles
-Byelorussians
-Czechs
-Serbs
-Bulgarians
-Slovakians
-Croatians
-Bosnians
-Macedonians
-Slovenians
-Luzyczans
NOT, as some of You, Russians, tend to think,
only You yourselves, Ukrainians and Byelorussians.
And again I remind You that Ukraine shared most of its history with Poland, as well as Byelorus. Ukraine, and
especially Byelorus, have better ties when it comes to literature for example with poland than with Russia.

I don't understand a thing. What are you trying to say, that Ukranians were Catholics from the beggining?

Yeah, sure. And Russian Federation is religious, fanatical dictatorship, right?

You are just dodge around my words Heresson.
It means what it means- that we share the same religion- the same values, which makes us closer to each other then for example to Poles. However, I was saying about absolutely different. I've said that Russian Orthodox Church obtained it's status of "state's religion" in KIEV in times of Kiev Rus. For thousand years Russian Orthodox Church was the BASE of RUSSIAN culture, of Russian civ. If the case will be made for Ukranian civ as separate civ, with the capital in Kiev, then how about the fact that Russian Orthodoxy, which is the basement of Russian civ is started in the same city of Kiev which was the capital of our COMMON state- Kiev Rus? How could you take away Kiev Rus from RUSSIAN history? That's was my question.

Again? Read carefuly next time. We were talking about ACHEIVMENTS. You know, things like first spaceman, like victory in WW2, etc. How could you separate Ukranian role in such things from role of any other people that populated Russia. It was acheivments of people of entire country.

Nope. Unlike You, I have basic knowledge of history
Just that the evolution of their culture brought them to greek-catholic church, until Romanows and Stalin forced them back to orthodoxy.

Nope. KGB officers aren't very religious.
But they do support actions by orthodox fanatics that would be impossible in any docent state

There's distinction, also in English, to what is referred to all three eastern-Slavic cultures (Byelorussians, Ukrainians
and Russians), which is Ruthenian, and what is referred to Russia only - Russian.

Of course it isn't appropriate, but even less appropriate is to call it Russia or to give Kiev as a Russian city.
The territory that later transformed into Russia (notabene
the core of it, Radymicze and Wiatycze, with Moscow itself has roots in Poland but unfortunatelly got ruthenised)
were not at all important in the times of Kiev Ruthenia.

Does a name of hetman Wyhowski and later Doroszenko,
and the name of Hadziacz village when later union of Poland and Ukraine was signed tell You something?

It's nice that You say that it weren't only Russian achievements. But common achievements don't make You a common culture yet; I repeat; this way, You could claim that You are a common culture with Lithuania for example...
Anyway, is burning Sicz and destroying Cossacks' autonomy, or is the Great Hunger in Ukraine a common
achievement? Putin was welcomed in Ukraine with manifestants demanding recompensations from Russia for the Great Hunger. I think it's dumb, but...

You didn't precise that. You should have written Ruthenians better.

Really? From the end of XIV century to the end of XVIII century, for 400 years, most of Ukraine was uder Polish rule, and later we shared Russian occupation.
quote:

This name, "Byelorussians" oslt, is English one,
and is taken from Russian language probably (...).
In Polish, their name is Bia?orusini - White Ruthenians,
which come out of geographical name of White Ruthenia.
Again I remind You that in XIX century, even Russian specialists at first classified Byelorussian as "Polish dialect" - the same as Polish ones. up to today, Byelorussian language is, despite Russianisational tendencies, the most similar language of all to Polish.

Funny that You started the topic, XarXo.
Poland claimed the right (and is probably given it) of forming the eastern (not when it comes to Russia probably, though) politics of EU, and just issued its proposition of it to the European Comission proposing the status of as(s?)ociated states with EU to Moldavia and Ukraine, and claiming Byelorus, and the states of Caucasus and Central Asia as possible future EU members.

Rome is really different of Byzance. Note that constantinople emerged as a great capitol by the greek (and in a minor amount, egypt, babylon and the important trade point) control of the area.
Just look the pictures and diagrams of byzance, are more near of India or Babylonia than Greece itself! (statues and architectural styles not, just is a point to show the easternish vision of Byzance).
So, Byzance is a follower of Rome, just like some modern countries like Iran, Iraq, Libia, Mexico, India, etc... These countries mixed a lot their dominant people so at the end the "official" identity of each other changed. Iran or Iraq are very different from Persia or Babylon just for the arabization. Mexico for spanishation (well, better say "kill-aztec -ulturization") and others.
Before Rome some small kingdoms stayed here, now the romanization process and the decadence of the culture created new identities that have a very short list of similarities with the old ones. Only China, Thailand/Siam or Egypt continue with them. Japan for example destroyed "Ainuland" in the invasion. Only remain some ainu in northern Yeso / Hokkaido.
(Again I gone to the branches and forgoted the tree )
BRIEFLY: If Ukraine is creating a solid identity after the "russization" based on a truly past, YES, "A case can be made for Ukranian civ"  . Note that for create and identity the people should have the "nationalist" sense.
