hole bejeebez you post some tripe.

you didn't answer the question. why is it called kievan rus' (rus' being a viking word according to you great historians). why is it not called kievan ukraine?

ancient precursor to ukraine. lololol. there precursors include mongolia, khazar empire, polish-lithuanian commonwealth, austrian empire, the ottoman empire, russian empire and many others.

ukrainian nationalism didnt start developing unitl early 1900's, when the ukrainian peoples republic was formed. didn't exist for very long.
ukraine got its independence in 1991. modern ukraine consists of territories that historically belonged to other nations (western ukraine, crimea and so on).

the origin of the trident symbol has nothing to do with ukraine. please do some reading. at least wikipedia or something. you're simply embarassing yourself with stupid history interpretations

there was no ukraine 800 years ago, so it couldn't have been printing coins. please stop showing your ignorance.


territories that are known as "ukraine" now belonged to different peoples, and changed hands all the time, that is a fact. ukrainian national identity didnt start developing till early 1900's. until then the people living in the keivan rus' regions were known as eastern slavs. not ukrainans.
