10 popular misconceptions about Ukrainian history, debunked

From the birth of Kyivan Rus, the first East Slavic state, to the onset of armed conflicts in the ensuing centuries, untangling Ukraine’s past is never easy.
Ukraine – through its long and turbulent history – gained independence in 1991.
The country’s long history before and after independence has seen Ukrainians enduring wars, revolutions, occupations, and a fraught relationship with its neighbor, Russia
Understanding Ukraine’s origins becomes even more complex as Russia has been on a centuries-long quest to distort Ukrainian history in an attempt to justify its brutal invasions.
While most of the Kremlin’s disinformation campaign is dismissed by Ukraine, the West, and many around the world, the wide net that Russia’s false narratives have cast globally have allowed historical misconceptions to arise.
The Kyiv Independent has put together 10 common historical misconceptions about Ukraine that can still be commonly heard today.

CRIMEA HAS ‘ALWAYS BEEN RUSSIAN’
According to this MYTH, Crimea has always been Russian, and by annexing the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, Russia was “correcting” a historical mistake.
Despite Russia’s claim that Crimea has “always been Russian,” the majority Muslim indigenous population of Crimea, Crimean Tatars, settled in the peninsula centuries before the Russian Empire conquered it in the 18th century.
After violating a peace treaty with the Ottomans in 1783, the Russian Empire illegally annexed Crimea for the first time. Russia ruled the peninsula for around 150 years until the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917.
During the Soviet Union, the Crimean Tatar population in Crimea faced repressions, persecution, and deportations. Ukraine estimates that over 230,000 people were deported starting in 1944, mostly to Uzbekistan.
The deportation of the Crimean Tatars, in which over 100,000 people perished as a result of starvation and disease, is recognized as genocide by Ukraine and several other countries.
It was only in the mid-20th century, following the ethnic cleansing of the Crimean population, that ethnic Russians became the majority in Crimea. The Turkic indigenous population became a minority due to the forced resettlement of Russians into the area and the suppression and assimilation of the local culture and language.
In 1954, the Soviet authorities transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (modern-day Ukraine).
The Soviet authorities listed “the commonality of the economy, territorial proximity, and close economic and cultural ties between the Crimean region and the Ukrainian SSR” as the reasons. However, the circumstances of the transfer are still a topic of debate today.
One theory suggests that then-Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev may have transferred the peninsula to mark the 300th anniversary of the Pereiaslav Agreement, which Russia frames as a treaty of union between Russia and Ukraine.
Soon after the transfer, Ukraine’s Soviet Socialist Republic was tasked with constructing the North Crimean Canal, which connected the Dnipro River with the dry peninsula.
After launching its war against Ukraine in 2014, the Kremlin has attempted to legitimize the annexation of Crimea with Russian propaganda claiming that it was taking back the peninsula that it had given as “a gift” to Ukraine.
But as the facts show, Russia only controlled the peninsula for a fraction of its history.
“Less than 6% of Crimea’s written history (from the 9th century BC to date) belongs to the Russian chapter,” Orysia Lutsevych, a research fellow at Chatham House, said.

I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and twelfth day of the war.
Day 412: April 11
Today there is a lot of important news from the east. Here, the Russian private military company Wagner Group has been trying to engulf Bakhmut for more than 3 months but pushed itself far beyond a sustainable limit of losses. Recently the losses caught up, Prigozhin gathered the remnants inside the city, but even with the increased concentration of units in Bakhmut, Russian progress has completely stalled.
The freshest reports suggest that the main Russian objective remains penetration of the established defense along the railways. A soldier from the Ukrainian 240th Assault Brigade reported that there are a lot of indicators that Russians received some reinforcements. He speculated that the Wagner forces relocated certain formations of Wagner special operators from Syria. Shortly after that, Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander stated that Ukrainian forces had exhausted Wagner forces so much that the Russian military command had to send SPETSNAZ (which is Russian special operators) and airborne elements to Bakhmut.
What complicates the situation for Ukrainians is that all these separate elements are using different tactics: some of them prefer infantry assaults in small groups, some are aggressively using armored vehicles, and others are just waiting until Ukrainian positions are reduced to rubble. Because of such a high intensity of attacks, the Ukrainian 93rd Mechanized Brigade, which showed exceptional performance by holding the southern line, assumed control along the railways. Other detachments are responsible for more stable parts of the city or help the 93rd Mechanized Brigade on demand.
The famous Ukrainian 1st Border Detachment, to a large extent, assumed responsibility for the southwestern part of the city, and Wagner forces tried to take advantage of the recent changes. Today a Ukrainian soldier reported that Wagner forces were attacking them non-stop for 3 hours. By suppressing the Ukrainian fire, they attempted to encircle this group, but Ukrainians timely requested support, and a second group of Ukrainians suddenly struck Wagners from the flanks with RPGs, and the Russian attack was finally repelled.
Recently released combat footage revealed that Ukrainians made a successful counterattack and pushed Russians from school #2. The video features a soldier who is firing from this school at Russian positions in the high-rise buildings. This is a very favorable development because it means that the southern supply road that Ukrainians are constantly using is even more secure.
The Head of the Wagner forces, Prigozhin, said that Ukrainians had established a powerful strongpoint in the dense residential areas and has personally confirmed that Ukrainians indeed have tunnels in this part of the region. Prigozhin also said that regular Russian forces, primarily airborne units, have completely substituted Wagner forces on the flanks. This is consistent with the statement of the Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander, more specifically that Wagner forces have been sustaining such high losses that by continuously plugging the holes in the front line with airborne elements, the regular Russian army gradually completely assumed control over the flanks, while all Wagner forces are concentrated in Bakhmut.
Ukrainian soldiers from the 92nd Mechanized Brigade already noted that the assaults on the flanks are mostly conducted by regular Russian forces. Today they released a video showing the result of their work and said that despite the fact that Russians reinforced Wagner’s flanks with regulars, their assault units have become smaller. Some analysts are saying that these regular formations are just used to operating in smaller groups, but others say that operating in such small units in Bakhmut is senseless, so Russians are just losing men faster than they replace them with reinforcements.
Overall, Russian forces have been significantly exhausted in the Bakhmut direction, and the newly arrived regular Russian formations do not seem to have enough resources to conduct powerful enough assaults. Despite the fact that Prigozhin concentrated all his forces in Bakhmut, the tempo of Russian advancement inside the city also decreased, and there were no confirmed gains today. Ukrainian defense line along the railways proves to be a formidable obstacle on their way.
Give the devil his due. Putin outfoxed everyone. I hope he wraps it up sooner rather than later. Who knows where his true aims lie in terms of final territorial goals? Not this layman.
Just think about the $220+ billion Bidumb has spent on the most corrupt country on the planet and what that could do for our SS trust.
This is and has should have never been our problem.
Thank you for sharing your opinions. :)

expression to hold your own point of view. Absolutely, it is not my intention or responsibility to “change” or form opinions for someone else.
I imagine he’ll flee before being hanged.
Too late for what? The Pentagon doesn’t have any faith that a counteroffensive can accomplish anything. And, if it is willing to admit that, it’s about over for Ukraine.
Mom doesn’t care. She is okay with Ukraine fighting to the last Ukrainian.
I’m sure Castreau will offer a fellow (bad, VERY bad) actor and fellow WEF butt sniffer, a home in Canaduh. They can keep him in Q-bec, along with Castreau.
