Ich habe schon vor Jahren hier von dem "dreieinigen Russischen Volk" und von Kiew als der "Mutter aller russischen Städte" und als "Geburtssort Russlands" geschrieben. und dass sich dieses eine Volk auch ."wiedervereinigen" wird.
Zugegeben:ich hätte dabei nie gedacht, dass das durch Krieg erzwungen werden soll, sondern habe eine friedliche Entwicklung erwartet.
(auch wenn in Russland das schlimme Wort "Krieg" für das, was gerade stattfindet, heute unter Strafe gestellt ist und dafür allerlei Wortakrobatik offiziell vorgeführt wird)
Meine Äußerungen damals wurden abgetan und von Russland-"Nicht-Verstehern" als "westlicher Unsinn" beschimpft.
Nun habe ich einen Artikel in englischer Sprache auf der offiziellen Webseite der Kreml en.kremlin.ru/events/president/
gefunden, der als von Putin selber verfasst, gekennzeichnet ist und eine lange Exegese der Geschichte aus seiner Sicht enthält :

Article by Vladimir Putin ”On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians“
July 12, 202117:00
During the recent Direct Line, when I was asked about Russian-Ukrainian relations, I said that Russians and Ukrainians were one people – a single whole. These words were not driven by some short-term considerations or prompted by the current political context. It is what I have said on numerous occasions and what I firmly believe. I therefore feel it necessary to explain my position in detail and share my assessments of today's situation.
First of all, I would like to emphasize that the wall that has emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what is essentially the same historical and spiritual space, to my mind is our great common misfortune and tragedy. These are, first and foremost, the consequences of our own mistakes made at different periods of time. But these are also the result of deliberate efforts by those forces that have always sought to undermine our unity. The formula they apply has been known from time immemorial – divide and rule. There is nothing new here. Hence the attempts to play on the ”national question“ and sow discord among people, the overarching goal being to divide and then to pit the parts of a single people against one another.
To have a better understanding of the present and look into the future, we need to turn to history. Certainly, it is impossible to cover in this article all the developments that have taken place over more than a thousand years. But I will focus on the key, pivotal moments that are important for us to remember, both in Russia and Ukraine.
Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians are all descendants of Ancient Rus, which was the largest state in Europe. Slavic and other tribes across the vast territory – from Ladoga, Novgorod, and Pskov to Kiev and Chernigov – were bound together by one language (which we now refer to as Old Russian), economic ties, the rule of the princes of the Rurik dynasty, and – after the baptism of Rus – the Orthodox faith. The spiritual choice made by St. Vladimir, who was both Prince of Novgorod and Grand Prince of Kiev, still largely determines our affinity today.
The throne of Kiev held a dominant position in Ancient Rus. This had been the custom since the late 9th century. The Tale of Bygone Years captured for posterity the words of Oleg the Prophet about Kiev, ”Let it be the mother of all Russian cities.“

In 1922, when the USSR was created, with the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic becoming one of its founders, a rather fierce debate among the Bolshevik leaders resulted in the implementation of Lenin's plan to form a union state as a federation of equal republics. The right for the republics to freely secede from the Union was included in the text of the Declaration on the Creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and, subsequently, in the 1924 USSR Constitution. By doing so, the authors planted in the foundation of our statehood the most dangerous time bomb, which exploded the moment the safety mechanism provided by the leading role of the CPSU was gone, the party itself collapsing from within. A ”parade of sovereignties“ followed. On 8 December 1991, the so-called Belovezh Agreement on the Creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States was signed, stating that ”the USSR as a subject of international law and a geopolitical reality no longer existed.“ By the way, Ukraine never signed or ratified the CIS Charter adopted back in 1993.
In the 1920's-1930's, the Bolsheviks actively promoted the ”localization policy“, which took the form of Ukrainization in the Ukrainian SSR. Symbolically, as part of this policy and with consent of the Soviet authorities, Mikhail Grushevskiy, former chairman of Central Rada, one of the ideologists of Ukrainian nationalism, who at a certain period of time had been supported by Austria-Hungary, was returned to the USSR and was elected member of the Academy of Sciences.
The localization policy undoubtedly played a major role in the development and consolidation of the Ukrainian culture, language and identity. At the same time, under the guise of combating the so-called Russian great-power chauvinism, Ukrainization was often imposed on those who did not see themselves as Ukrainians. This Soviet national policy secured at the state level the provision on three separate Slavic peoples: Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian, instead of the large Russian nation, a triune people comprising Velikorussians, Malorussians and Belorussians.
In 1939, the USSR regained the lands earlier seized by Poland. A major portion of these became part of the Soviet Ukraine. [...]

Putins Artikel endet dann mit Aussage
>>
We respect the Ukrainian language and traditions. We respect Ukrainians' desire to see their country free, safe and prosperous.
I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia. Our spiritual, human and civilizational ties formed for centuries and have their origins in the same sources, they have been hardened by common trials, achievements and victories. Our kinship has been transmitted from generation to generation. It is in the hearts and the memory of people living in modern Russia and Ukraine, in the blood ties that unite millions of our families. Together we have always been and will be many times stronger and more successful. For we are one people.
Today, these words may be perceived by some people with hostility. They can be interpreted in many possible ways. Yet, many people will hear me. And I will say one thing – Russia has never been and will never be ”anti-Ukraine“. And what Ukraine will be – it is up to its citizens to decide.

diese Aussage übersetzt
"Wir respektieren die ukrainische Sprache und Traditionen. Wir respektieren den Wunsch der Ukrainer, ihr Land frei, sicher und wohlhabend zu sehen.
Ich bin zuversichtlich, dass eine wahre Souveränität der Ukraine nur in Partnerschaft mit Russland möglich ist. Unsere spirituellen, menschlichen und zivilisatorischen Bindungen, die sich über Jahrhunderte gebildet haben und ihren Ursprung in denselben Quellen haben, wurden durch gemeinsame Prüfungen, Errungenschaften und Siege gefestigt. Unsere Verwandtschaft wurde von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben. Es ist in den Herzen und in der Erinnerung der Menschen, die im modernen Russland und in der Ukraine leben, in den Blutsbanden, die Millionen unserer Familien vereinen. Gemeinsam waren und sind wir schon immer um ein Vielfaches stärker und erfolgreicher. Denn wir sind ein Volk.
Heute können diese Worte von manchen Menschen mit Feindseligkeit wahrgenommen werden. Sie können auf viele mögliche Weisen interpretiert werden. Dennoch werden mich viele Menschen hören. Und ich sage eines – Russland war und wird nie „Anti-Ukraine“ sein. Und was die Ukraine sein wird – das entscheiden ihre Bürgerinnen und Bürger. "
Das ist noch kein Jahr her!
Soll man dem "lupenreinen Demokraten" für solche "Glanzleistung" an Verstellung, Irreführung und Desinformation "Respekt" zollen?
- der "christgläubige" Kommunist Putin hat nun mal sein "Handwerk" beim KGB gelernt.
Ein "Wladimir" kann und will offenbar nicht anders, als schon sein Name sagt: "Beherrscher der Welt".
Wer in Russland heute ein Schild hochhält mit "Krieg - Nein" oder Entsprechendes ruft, riskiert - ganz nach "Gesetz" - bis zu 15 Jahre Haft!
