Overview
Putins Rede von der historischen Einheit der Russen und der Ukrainer dient der ideologischen Rechtfertigung des Krieges. Neu ist dieses Denken nicht. Es geht auf das 17. Jahrhundert zurück. Zugrunde liegt ihm die Vorstellung von der „allrussischen Nation“, zu der „Großrussen“, „Kleinrussen“ und „Weißrussen“ gehörten. Hinter dieser Idee versammelten sich im späten 19. Jahrhundert die zarische Regierung und das Gros der russländischen Gesellschaft. Selbst Angehörige der liberalen Intelligenz sprachen den Ukrainern das Recht auf eine eigene Nationsbildung ab. Russland unterdrückte jede Regung ukrainischer sprachlicher und kultureller Autonomie. Diese Repressionen und die Unterdrückung der ukrainischen Nationalbewegung sind Teil der ukrainischen kollektiven Erinnerung von heute.
Putin’s talk about the historical unity of Russians and Ukrainians serves to justify the war ideologically. This thinking is not new. It goes back to the 17th century. It is based on the idea of the “all-Russian nation”, to which “Great Russians”, “Little Russians”, and “Belarusians” belonged. The tsarist government and the bulk of Russian society congregated around this idea in the late 19th century. Even members of the liberal intelligentsia denied Ukrainians the right to form their own nation. Russia suppressed every flicker of Ukrainian linguistic and cultural autonomy. These repressions and the suppression of the Ukrainian national movement are part of today’s Ukrainian collective memory.
