Ukraine and Ukrainians according to Slovo Natsii (The Nation Speaks), Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and the Russian Orthodox Church

Abstract

In this article, the ideas of three different Russian nationalist approaches (Slovo Natsii, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and the Russian Orthodox Church) on Ukraine and Ukrainians will be examined and it will be shown that although they have different ideas on many issues, these three approaches share very similar ideas on Ukraine and Ukrainians. All three approaches argue that Ukraine is an artificial country and that there is no separate Ukrainian nation. All three believe that the Ukrainians are one of the three branches of the Russian nation. Ukraine, excluding the western region, is viewed by these groups as Russian territory. They have similar views on the unification of Eastern Slavs as branches of the Russian nation, the expansion of Russia's borders, and the defense of Russian Orthodoxy. Moreover, examining these three approaches shows that Russian nationalism and the approaches of Russian nationalists towards Ukraine and Ukrainians are not new, and similar approaches have been shared by many different groups of Russian nationalists for a long time. Russian nationalists have always had difficulty accepting Ukraine as an independent country and Ukrainians as a separate people from Russians.

Slovo Natsii (Milletin Sözü), Aleksandr Soljenitsin ve Rus Ortodoks Kilisesi’ne göre Ukrayna ve Ukraynalılar

Abstract

Bu makalede üç farklı Rus milliyetçisi yaklaşımın (Slovo Natsii, Aleksandr Soljenitsin ve Rus Ortodoks Kilisesi’nin) Ukrayna ve Ukraynalılar konusundaki fikirleri incelenecek ve birçok konuda farklı fikirlere sahip olsalar da bu üç yaklaşımın Ukrayna ve Ukraynalılar konusunda çok benzer fikirleri paylaştıkları gösterilecektir. Her üç yaklaşım da Ukrayna’nın yapay bir ülke olduğunu ve ayrı bir Ukrayna milletinin olmadığını savunmaktadır. Her üçü de Ukraynalıların Rusların üç kolundan biri olduğuna inanıyor. Ukrayna bu gruplar tarafından, Batı bölgesi hariç, Rus toprağı olarak görülmektedir. Doğu Slavlarının Rus milletinin kolları olarak birleştirilmesi, Rusya’nın sınırlarının genişletilmesi, Rus Ortodoksluğunun savunulması konularında benzer görüşlere sahipler. Ayrıca bu üç yaklaşımın incelenmesi Rus milliyetçiliğinin ve Rus milliyetçilerinin Ukrayna ve Ukraynalılar konusundaki yaklaşımlarının yeni olmadığını, eskiden beri benzer yaklaşımların Rus milliyetçilerinin birçok farklı kanadı tarafından paylaşıldığını göstermektedir. Rus milliyetçileri Ukrayna'yı bağımsız bir ülke ve Ukraynalıları Ruslardan ayrı bir halk olarak kabul etmekte her zaman zorlanmışlardır.
