History
Did you know that Ukraine is a land of a special destiny? Everyone remembers the recent meeting between Zelensky and Trump at the Vatican. And the discussions about the presence of the Ukrainian coat of arms—the Tryzub—on a fresco of Prince Volodymyr in the Vatican. Which is a paradox! It is forbidden to depict national coats of arms in the […]

From our peculiar official history, we learn that the first inhabitants of modern-day Ukraine were the Trypillians, who created the world’s oldest Trypillian civilization or culture. Then, they seemingly disappeared—either evaporated or flew to another planet. After them, the Scythians supposedly fell from the sky. The same story happened with the Sarmatians. After their “departure,” the Antes appeared out of […]
On July 30, 1863, the “Valuev Circular” was adopted, banning religious and educational literature in the Ukrainian language. This is a historical monument to the “friendship of peoples” and at the same time a pointer to the direction of movement (fuck you) to the fighters for the rights of the Russian language in Ukraine. “There never was, is not, and […]
Fewer and fewer remain in their right minds who know how Ukraine’s Constitution was created and, most importantly, why it was crafted the way it is. So listen, dear boys and girls, I will tell you how it really was. It’s almost impossible to believe, but in those ancient, dark yet romantic times — at the end of the last […]
All of Europe had family ties to Kievan Rus, today’s Ukraine! And all this happened 100 years before the creation of the “village” of Moscow. Kyiv gave Europe 158 queens and kings. You are looking at a historical image – a portrait of Queen Anna (about 1000 years old), made in the church of Hagia Sophia in Kyiv. All the […]

For those who are not from Ukraine, but have begun to understand where this great country is located. Ukraine is the largest country that is entirely in Europe. The international Ukrainian anthem consists of only six lines (four in the verses and two in the chorus). The remaining lines of the anthem are considered politically incorrect (e.g., “Let us, brothers, […]
On December 1, 1991, the All-Ukrainian referendum on Ukraine’s independence was held. 90.92% of voters gave an affirmative answer. There was not a single region, not a single populated place, where the idea of independence of Ukraine would not find the support of the majority of citizens. In Crimea, 54.19%, in Sevastopol – 57.07%, in Donetsk, Luhansk, Odesa and Kharkiv […]
77 years ago the Victory Flag was raised over the Reichstag. In the post-war decades, thousands of documentaries were made in the former USSR, and thousands of books were written about the events of 1941-1945. And this is not surprising: the Victory was too expensive for the nations that inhabited the former Soviet empire to keep silent about them. But […]
The stories of the staff of Melitopol and Mariupol museums reveal the gloomy decisions of the wartime and their impact on the cultural heritage of Ukraine after the invasion on February 24, 2022.

We collected historical evidences on Russia and Russians made by famous figures of world history. Russian philosopher Ivan Ilyin: “Russia is the most vile, absolutely disgusting country in the entire history of the world. By the method of selection, monstrous moral freaks were brought out there, in which the very concept of Good and Evil is turned inside out. Throughout […]
