Marcin Drewicz: The border of Ukraine by reason you will not understand, that is simply a replay from over a century ago Part.1
1 of the Polish weeklys a fewer years ago published a map of the area of the Russian Federation, marking regions with a large percent of Ukrainian population. Thus, for example, in the superpacific region of Vladivostok there is to be respective twelve percent, of course Russian-speaking.
But present the “borders of Ukraine” scope everywhere, where there are these multi-million-odd crowds of the newest (and not rather the latest ones) post-Soviet (!) invaders and refugees of both Ukrainian-speaking and Russian-speaking. Among another things, the full of Poland today, especially it, is covered by specified east enclaves. Who let that happen?
However, let's look at an effort – only an effort – to discover today's genesis, as anyone prefers those before 2013, the borders of a state called the Ukrainian Republic. Reaching to past before the First planet War and beyond, to the times of the well-known Tsar of Catherine as well as to the times of these Russian kniazis fighting with nomadic peoples of the Steps of Kipczak (!) we leave for another occasion.
It is amazing that the issue of the past of the borders of Ukraine, at least in the media circulation of Polish-speaking people, most likely nobody is afraid present – quieter! possibly there's a top-down ban. And after all, the past of these Russian-Turkish wars from the 18th century gives us for specified motivations fighting in the east. From that time on, the concept of this super-black-sea Novorossia comes into being. It's called... a long life in history. Oh, Yeah.
The names of any localities at the crossings in turn to the Black Sea of the river Donet – and this is 1 of many – referred to in the war reports in 2022 (later someway quieted down), are known and from the earlier centuries of Russian battles from Halfers, and from the militants of Moscow with the Crimean Tatars following to the north the Muraw way (!), from the battles of white and red armies, Russian and Ukrainian, from the times of the Bolshevik revolution, as well as from these "charkowski operations" conducted by Field Marshal von Manstein (sic!).
But... get to the point! Why are the borders of the Ukrainian Republic present (2013)? We didn't find (maybe wrong) any systematic and complete description of their history. We usage Polish-language textbooks of Ukrainian history: Serczyk 1990, Olszański 1992, Hrycak 2000, Klimecki/Karpus 2022. And it is only to gather news from these various studies that allows us to draw only general conclusions on the borders of the erstwhile and present Ukraine.
So we can be well understood. In the case of formation in the same era from more than 1 100 years ago, the Polish borders of the north, western and even confederate borders have access to very detailed cognition (but consistently silent in the Polish media circulation).
The Polish delegation to the Peace Conference in Paris in 1919 on the demarcation of Poles especially with Germans, but besides with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania and Latvia showed for conference purposes the maps drawn up by the squad of prof. Eugeniusz Romer in item about the village, which is to be whose and why. For the east direction, we besides had maps, although in that case the boundaries of the districts were operated, that is, from the tsaric times equestrian.
In the 1990s, any Poles from Poland, equipped with Ukrainian tourist visas, sitting in a strong field car tested – then! – Ukrainian-Russian border somewhere in the Kharkiv region, or somewhere closer to Don's right bank. Around an open steppe, “no road, no kurhan”, on a siding of a ellipse grower, i.e. according to newer naming kolchoz/sowchoz.
- Hey, gravedan...! Convicted Pajausta, Ukraine zdies’ ili Rosija?
– Nu, each’ Ukrainian lease.
They go further, not easy terrain, advanced skies above their head, after 3 quarters of an hr the same: inactive in Ukraine. And yet in the next sowchozie:
- Are you gawaritie? Kakaja Ukraine? Here's a meaningful motion in the direction they came from. – Necessary, Rosija... Up...!
So these ubiquitous Polish wanderers, 30 years ago, somewhere between the last and penultimate Soviets were crossing any unspecified steppe border between the 2 leases, which the event there and then no 1 else cared, so it did not rise any pursuit reactions, no indications from the border guards of either side, etc. However, in order to look forward to specified situations, our travelers eagerly returned their vehicle to the "unquestionably Ukrainian" website, due to the fact that they did not have a Russian tourist visa.
Alists in that thirty-year-old event – and we realize it only now – lies a threatening announcement of the years present. Well, by these "unknown promoters" of mass emigration from post-Soviet Ukraine is now this border "from the other side of Ukraine", so the western one, with Poland, but besides with Slovakia, Hungary, or Romania, is treated as the unmarked Step Kipchacki, after which 1 can go to the back and forth.
Now, in post-Soviet conditions. However, in fresh russian times, and in all communist times – as we all remember it well, and many on their own backs have experienced, and not erstwhile – border issues were affected by the other extreme.
Both the "iron curtain" separating the "socialist camp" from the "capitalist West", besides in its maritime section (the celebrated "direction of Bornholm") and the surrounding russian Union as well as the tight "sist" as well as the boundaries between the "countries of folk democracy" (KDLs), but besides the boundaries between the individual republics of the russian Union, and in them between the many autonomous areas, were guarded so that "the mouse will not oppress itself"; and despite the fact that the method means for this were by far little developed than they are now.
The most likely examples of this in the wide planet come from not from any deafness at all, but from a millionth-century capital Berlin, where they were usually shot at daredevils who sometimes tried to force the Berlin Wall from the East to the West.
And we all remember well crossing the borders of "socialist countries" in the soft mode, erstwhile these chames (!) borderers for common simple fun ordered to throw out all the contents of the car or even the coach, frequently in the rain or dust, after which to burden it all back quickly, due to the fact that the "rail is waiting".
And now... the another way around, like a drunk, from wall to wall. No control, even this essential sanitary-epidemiology, for the Polish territory of the alien invaders.
The maps in the book known in Poland for years Ukrainian historian Jarosław Hrycak (2000) indicate the scope of the "Ukrainian cultural boundaries", conflicting not only with akin Polish territory, but with the ranges of all nationalities neighbouring Ukraine, headed by Russian nationality.
There is no language here, since it is mostly the same, or Russian. This is simply a substance of scale. This scale does not scope global dimensions (sic!), but is larger than that in which Poles of the last 80 years (after 1945) consider their own cases and actions. Among another things, this difference in the scale of seeing things takes place present in this and in many another crucial matters... omniignorance (sic!).
What was it like in 2013? That then president of the Republic of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, although he had “on the table” prepared papers about the association of Ukraine with the West, or with the European Union, did not sign them. This meant that he was – “one of two” – “pro-Russian”. But any another citizens of the Ukrainian Republic did not want to be "pro-Russian" due to the fact that they wanted to be "western", and this resulted, as they say, in the American-Kiyan "maidan" with its complex consequences; in which in the wide areas of the erstwhile fresh York City participated, besides shown on Polish-language televisions, "green people".
It is said that Crimea's “green men” drank in specified a way that their officers came to the gate of the barracks and bases of the Ukrainian army nominally and cried out with a loud voice, “We pay twice as much.” But, is that so?
More than a 100 years ago, during planet War I, this “United West” was a successful German “Mitteleuropa” (Central Europe under German sovereignty) in the European East. The then Polish Kingdom with its Regency Council was already part of it.
The time has come for Ukraine, including Belarus. Since from the second half of the 18th century Poles for various complex reasons were no longer able to regulation this part of the world, and since they had just lost (1915-1917) in an armed clash with central states Neither did the Russians, so “someone had to”. Who? Does that communicative surprise us today?
These then "Western papers for Ukraine" were then presented during the Peace Conference in Brest n/Bug (today the Republic of Belarus, right next to the border with Poland) in the first weeks of 1918.
Germany and their then allies – Austro-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria – had to hurry, due to the fact that although in the immeasurable areas of the fallen Russian Empire late sent there by these Bolshevik Germans for respective months they had been doing destructive work, president Woodrow Wilson had just announced his fourteen Points of Attractive Goals of the United States War, in general incompatible with German.
We only summarize here, due to the fact that very multi-threading is simply a story, how stubbornly silenced in the Polish-language mass media; even erstwhile in fresh years (2017-2022) they struck NORTH STULECIA further those events.
We besides recommend: Western universities hired judaic companies to suppress pro-Palestinian protests
