"weren't republics." you are wrong, even today term RP uses as the synonym for republic in Poland .
Actually, the term Rech Pospolita doesn't have the only meaning it is used now. I am sure you can google it yourself. RP was union of the Kingdom of Poland and the Great Duchy of Lithuania. How these countries considering their names could be reoublics can be explained only in your parallel world, I suppose.
its funny to see here a Jew , who defends here Muscovite "orthodox" church & black100 imperial concept of "3 Russian nations ". the same group of people introduced term & practices of pogroms to the world
I am not a Jew, it is the first.
Second. I have never defended the Orthodox church. I will tell you even more - I consider it as an institution which should be abolished.
Third. To say frankly, the Ukrainians (if the contemporary term should be used) engaged in these pogroms voluntarily and being sure that they were doing a right thing.
"Rech Pospolita" no one pays me to reeducate you, it is as i wrote but you can reject it
Ukrainians were subjects of Pogroms too,
The
Black Hundred (
Russian: transliterated
Tschjornaja Sotnja or
Chornaya Sotnya), also known as the
black-hundredists (in
Russian;
Tschernosotjenzy), was an
ultra-nationalist movement in
Russia in the early 20th century. It was a staunch supporter of the
House of Romanov and opposed any retreat from the
autocracy of the reigning monarch.
[2] The name apparently arose from the Medieval concept of "black", or common (non-noble) people, organized into militias.
[3]
The
Black Hundreds were also noted for extremism and incitement to pogroms, nationalistic Russocentric doctrines, different xenophobic beliefs, including anti-Ukrainian sentiment[4] and anti-semitism.[5]. A Moscow group specifically has 376 members.
[6][
non-primary source needed]. On the group's main page, it claims that the Black Hundreds is a 'mass social-political movement of the Russian (
russkiy, indicating ethnic Russians) people all-class-inclusive in its membership, sponsored by representatives of [ethnic] Russian culture and the intellectual elite, which arose for the sake of the struggle with revolution in the beginning of the twentieth century by way of self-organisation of
orthodox people and which depended on their ideology on the formula of Count S. S. Uvarov 'Orthodoxy,
Autocracy,
Nationality'...'.
Black Hundreds - Wikipedia
"During the
Polish-Ukrainian War over three days of unrest in the city, an estimated 52–150 Jewish residents were killed and hundreds more were injured, with widespread looting carried out by Polish soldiers, as well as by lawless civilians, and local criminals. Two hundred and seventy
Ukrainians were also killed during this incident. The Poles did not stop the pogrom until two days after it began. The independent investigations by the British and American missions in Poland stated that there were no clear conclusions and that foreign press reports were exaggerated."
than Ukrainian national narrative is different from Muscovite imperial one, Ukrainians have the real enemies , so why ´d they need imaginable (Jews, Bankers, etc.) ?
in general i think you and i ´d keep our chats here clean and civilized , do you agree?
