The Crimea problem in the Ukrainian-Russian relations
Abstract
The Russian attack has become a shock for the majority of the Ukrainian citizens, but the Russian-Ukrainian confrontation has deep historical roots. The absorption of Ukraine, its material and human resources – one of the key prerequisites for the deployment of the Russian imperial project. The history of relations between the Ukrainians and Russians is a chronicle of wars, liberation uprisings of Ukrainians and a consistent policy of russification and assimilation of Ukrainians.
