______________________________
The word “Ukrainian” wasn’t in common usage in 1844 (of course, Uniate fanatics dig up and quote isolated and atypical instances of “Ukrainian”, but they don’t count)… in short, the concept didn’t exist in general circulation! To use the word “Ukrainian” for any situation or person prior to the late 19th century is an ignorant and obsequious anachronism, adopted to please and/or placate a loud political pressure group. It’s not truthful, so, decent people should avoid such a usage. In fact, until 1948, there was no “Ukrainian Catholic rite” in Roman documents… it was the “Ritus Rutheniensis”, that is, “the Russian (Catholic) Rite”. I got that from a 1948 official Roman publication that I saw in Dunwoodie in the 70s. Don’t fall for the loud Uniate propaganda… it doesn’t correspond to the facts… that goes for such things as the so-called 1930s “Genocide” as well (there was none… the UN and PACE agree with the Russian position that it wasn’t genocide, it was part of the tragedy surrounding Collectivisation). You should know that the Uniate fascists weren’t part of all that… they were in Poland, and none of them suffered one bit… indeed, they were willing hangsmen and bully boys for the White Poles (they burned Orthodox churches in the Kresy at the behest of the Poles… fancy that)! Do remember that when you hear their rants and accusations…
My thanks to the Cabinet member who turned me on to this resource.

The above is a poster on a hoarding in Poland. It recalls the genocidal massacre of ethnic Poles by Galician Uniate nationalists during the VOV in the Kresy. The Uniate extremists killed people simply for being Polish… nothing else mattered to them. They also killed Belorussians, Russians, Roma, Jews, Rusins, and even Galicians who opposed their fascist ideology. These people run the notional “Ukraine” today. May God cut their time short to lessen the suffering of the innocents (which includes most of the Uniates, who oppose fascism as much as any group of normal people do).
