Decades ago:
The
U.S. has had a hand in numerous projects intent on destabilizing Ukraine’s
governments.
A recent declassification of over 3,800 documents
by the Central Intelligence Agency has revealed it operated two major programs
intent on not only destabilizing Ukraine but ‘Nazifying’ it with followers
of the World War II Ukrainian Nazi leader Stepan Bandera.
The documents, which were released earlier in the
year, said that programs, spanning over four years, provided funding and
equipment for such anti-Soviet Ukrainian resistance groups as the Ukrainian
Supreme Liberation Council among a host of others.
The papers gave details of the AERODYNAMIC program
which intended to destabilize Ukraine, using exile Ukrainian agents in the West
who were infiltrated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

. Thus the argument of some Russians that there is no such thing as a Ukrainian
nation is fundamentally mistaken: if there are enough people identifying
themselves as “Ukrainian” then a distinct “Ukrainian nation” exists. It
does not matter at all that there is no trace of that nation in history or that
its founding myths are ridiculous as long as a distinct common is shared by its
members. And from that point of view, the existence of a Ukrainian nation
fundamentally different from the Russian one is an undeniable reality.
And that is the immense achievement of the Latin Church – it undeniably
succeeded in its desire to cut-off the western Russians from their historical
roots and to create a new nation: the Ukrainians.
As an aside, but an important one I think,
I would note that the Mongols played a similarly crucial role in the creation
of the modern Russian nation. After all, what are the “founding blocks”
of the Russian culture. The culture of the Slavs before the Christianization
of Russia in the 10th century? Yes, but minimally. The continuation
of the Roman civilization after the Fall of the 2nd Rome? Yes, to some
degree, but not crucially. The adoption of the Christian faith after the
10 century? Yes, definitely. But the Russian *state* which grew out of
the rather small Grand Duchy of Moscow was
definitely shaped by the Mongol culture and statecraft, not Byzantium or
ancient Rus. It would not be incorrect to say that ancient Kievan Rus eventually
gave birth to two distinct nations: a Ukrainian one fathered by the Papist
occupation and a Russian one, fathered by the Mongol occupation. In that sense
the russophobic statement of the Marquis de Custine “Grattez
le Russe, et vous verrez un Tartare” (scratch the Russian and you will find
a Mongol beneath) is correct. Equally, however, I would argue that one
could say that “scratch the Ukrainian, and you will find the Papist beneath”.
