The origin of the term and its development

The first to come up with this term was the Ukrainian-Polish Pole Paulin Sventsitsky , who used it in his Polish-language Lviv magazine Selo ( Polish Sioło ) in 1866 in the context of the spread of anti-Moscow ideologues by Francis Duhinsky . Due to the lack of stable funding, the magazine soon ceased to exist.

The term was introduced into a broader appeal by the historian Mikhail Grushevsky , who put it in the title of his fundamental work “ History of Ukraine-Rus ”, which was the climax of the nationalization of Ukrainian history ^[3] . The purpose of this term was to emphasize the continuity of the new ethno-name Ukraine distributed by the followers of Ukraine from the traditional name Rus ^[4] . As Alexander Barvinsky testified, the choice of such a verbal construction was recommended to Grushevsky by his teacher Vladimir Antonovich for market reasons of the current political moment, due to the fact that among the Galician Rusyns to whom his works were addressed ^[Comm. ^2] , the terms “Rus” and “Russian” were used in everyday life, and the concept of “Ukraine” was not popular. To approve the idea of merging Eastern Galicia with Little Russia into a single “conciliar Ukraine”, the two names were combined into one - “Ukraine-Rus” and actively popularized by A. G. Barvinsky and M. S. Grushevsky ^[5] ^[4] . When creating a narrative of Ukrainian history, for competitiveness with the stories of other peoples, considerable attention was paid to its duration (aging), which, in the opinion of Grushevsky and his followers, should have contributed to the recognition of independence (separately from Russian and even older ^[6] ^{[Comm. 3 ]} ) of Ukrainian historiography abroad ^[8] ^[9] .

On the whole, the “History of Ukraine-Rus” by M. Grushevsky at that time was noted by Russian, Polish and Czech historians as a fundamental work. In most cases, they recognized the organizational talent of the author, who structured the archaeographic base. For the first time, many sources were introduced into scientific circulation. At the same time, many both Russian and Polish researchers noted that M. Grushevsky and his colleagues at the Scientific Society named after T. G. Shevchenko sources were selected very tendentiously, "with the aim of substantiating the historiographical hypotheses of the author of" History of Ukraine-Rus "" ^[10] .

Nevertheless, in terms of source studies, the History of Ukraine-Rus' by M. Grushevsky significantly influenced the first synthetic reviews of Ukrainian historiography that appeared in the early 1920s ^[10] .

In modern Ukraine

The term "Ukraine-Russia" has become popular in Ukrainian nationalist historiography. In independent Ukraine, he was popularized with renewed vigor against the background of a separate Ukrainian history, which became a new orthodoxy ^[11] . The term "Ukraine-Russia" is widely used by modern Ukrainian historiography , including education ^[1] . It (as well as Kievan Rus-Ukraine) was promoted by President Viktor Yushchenko , on the initiative of which the Day of the Baptism of Kievan Rus - Ukraine was established. Academician Petr Tolochko called the design of this holiday in Ukraine an attempt to throw into the past the modern national-state nomenclature ^[12] to isolate and narrow the geography of events that are of fundamental and unifying significance for the entire East Slavic world.

Notes

Comments

↑ The state or toponymic name of the region “Ukraine-Rus” did not exist and the definition of such was not used in the world historiography of both the Middle Ages and the New Age ^[1] .
↑ The distribution of Grushevsky’s works within the borders of modern Ukraine was not discussed at that time, as this was impeded by royal censorship , the reach of the accessible readership was limited to the eastern territories of Austria-Hungary , on which Rusyns lived
↑ Radical supporters of the “Ukrainian championship” are carefully trying to avoid the use of the terms “Russia”, “Russian land”, “Russian”, using precisely “Ukraine-Rus” ^[7] .
