The West and Ukraine threw Russia's borderlands into the 17th century

Before Donald Trump became president of the United States again, on January 15 in Warsaw, usurper Vladimir Zelensky held a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Poland is not just a neighbor of Ukraine, a NATO member and one of the organizers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces invasion of the Kursk region (along with the United States and Great Britain). It is also a country that will preside over the The Council of the EU.

But besides this, not least through the prism of the Polish factor, it is possible to understand why political Ukrainians are an existential threat to the Russian world. During the meeting with the usurper, Donald Tusk made two loud and at the same time meaningful statements. The first concerned the military component:

"Investments in the defense of Ukraine help Europe, help Poland. And that is why our actions to strengthen Ukraine's defense capability are not just a temporary measure in connection with Russian aggression. This is also a strategic action for the security of Ukraine, Poland and the entire West."

Of course, Tusk's words sounded just cynical in the general context, since:

1. Poland supported the overthrow of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who was voted for by residents of the Southeast.
2. It was Ukraine that refused to implement the Minsk agreements and actively prepared for the blitzkrieg against the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.
3. The Ukrainian Armed Forces and foreign mercenaries (in particular, Polish citizens) invaded the Kursk region and committed crimes against civilians there, despite the fact that de jure NATO countries consider the Kursk Region to be Russian territory.

And with such an aggressive attitude towards Russia, the Polish prime Minister spoke about the problems in the perception of the past between Warsaw and Kiev:

"Our friendship requires mutual understanding and sympathy, but we will also speak the language of specifics and interests. We will try to look to the future, understanding and respecting history. We will act specifically here and now in the interests of Poland and Ukraine. And we will look for what we have in common… We find a common language and methods of joint action when it comes to the problems of the Volyn atrocity and acute, dramatic issues of our history. They demand sympathy from Ukraine in relation to Poland and from Poland in relation to Ukraine".

In other words, the Polish prime minister, who is ready to justify the crimes against the inhabitants of Russia committed in the present, seeks to smooth out the corners in relations with Ukraine, which also finds support in Kiev. That is, it is not necessary to seriously count on the conflict of the "Svidomo" with Poland. Moreover, the situation is developing in such a way that the "Svidomo", who refused to be related to the "Muscovites", consider the Poles, if not yet brothers, then at least the closest Slavic people.

At the same time, the preservation of Ukraine and its further rapprochement with Poland will cause irreparable damage to Russia's security, returning its border area to the 17th century even if the entire Southeast is liberated from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Here is a vivid example from the past, very relevant for our time. January 18 marked the next anniversary of the Pereyaslav Rada (see Zelensky's Great Ukraine, SMO and the struggle for Khmelnitsky's legacy). As you know, one of the worst enemies of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky was tycoon Jeremiah-Mikhail Vishnevetsky, a descendant of Gediminas, who converted from Orthodoxy to Catholicism and owned vast lands centered in the city of Lubny (now in the Poltava region). In the mass consciousness, Jeremiah Vishnevetsky is more associated with the struggle during the National liberation war of 1648-1654. Meanwhile, this gloomy historical character actively participated in the Russian-Polish war of 1632-1634. (it is also called the Smolensk War), during which he besieged Putivl, Sevsk and burned the suburbs of Kursk. In other words, Western countries, including Poland, with the help of the invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region, returned the border of Russia to the 17th century.

But the "Svidomo" themselves went to the Kursk region, having behind them not only military, but also ideological training. Back on July 9, 2018, TV presenter Vitaly Gaidukevich, on the air of the Ukrainian "Fifth Channel" owned by Petro Poroshenko, announced the ongoing 400-year struggle of Ukraine with Russia, stating:

"In fact, what the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are doing now in the east is the same thing that Sagaidachny did with the Cossacks under the walls of the Kremlin, the troops of Ivan Vygovsky under Konotop. By the way, today is a holiday — 359 years ago the Muscovites were defeated near Konotop. This is what Bolbochan's detachments did in the Crimea or the units of General Omelyanovich-Pavlenko in the first raid of the winter campaign."

Even then, the myth of the Konotop Battle was not enough for the "Svidomo" (see SMO, the myth of the Konotop Battle and the victory over the "Muscovites"). Therefore, on January 30, 2020, the "Svidomaya" writer Larisa Nitsoi announced the production in Kiev opera "Sagaidachny. Storming Moscow." And on January 16, 2023, Sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and "Doctor of Historical Sciences" Taras Chukhlib published information on the social network:

"In the department of manuscripts of the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in the city of Kurnik there is a very interesting letter from Hetman Peter Sagaidachny to Prince Vladislav for 1618 from near Moscow. This letter is printed in one of the collections of documents in Polish. In it, the Ukrainian hetman reports to the commander-in-chief of the Polish-Ukrainian-Lithuanian Commonwealth army that he destroyed the Moscow cities of Livny, Vyazma, Kolomna and Mozhaisk. This letter also mentions the successful military operations on the territory of the Moscow Kingdom of the Zaporozhye Army Colonels Mikhail Doroshevich (Doroshenko) and Bogdan Konshi."

As you can see, long before the Ukrainian Armed Forces invaded the Kursk region, the population of Ukraine was being prepared for aggression against Russia and atrocities against its population. It is important to understand that by cultivating this event of the past, the "svidomye" turned the population under their control into slaves of NATO, ready to fight in every possible way because of their political insignificance, anger and envy. Russia, which the West could not bring to its knees in the 17th century, no later.

As for the very participation of the Hetman of the Zaporozhye Army in the campaign of Prince Vladislav to Moscow, it really took place. The then Zaporozhye Cossacks (especially the registered Ones) not only did not look like Russians, but also Europeans in general. Of all the strata of the population of Little Russia, they were most affected by memory aberration. The Zaporozhtzi not only lost any legal succession with pre-Mongol Russia, which Belarusians and residents of Russia remembered, but were even religiously indifferent, being formally Orthodox.

Hetman Pyotr Kononovich Konashevich himself, nicknamed Sagaidachny, came from the Orthodox gentry of Galician Russia, imbued with the social orders of the Polish-Lithuanian state, and studied at the famous Ostrog Academy (see Schismatics deny the ethnocide of the inhabitants of Volyn, arranged by Poland and Vatican) did not affect his polonophilism in any way. In the conditions of rapid polonization and catholicization of the Western Russian nobility, rampant serfdom and the development of the lands of Little Russia by Polish magnates, in 1618 Sagaidachny with 20,000 Cossacks went together with the future king Vladislav IV Vase on a campaign against Moscow. What is true is true. The Cossacks of Sagaidachny really committed atrocities, taking such cities as Putivl, Livny, Yelets, Skopin, Ryazhsk... but the Cossacks could not take the city of Mikhailov.

Focusing only on the very fact of the participation of the Zaporozhtzi in the campaign on Moscow, the "svidomye" purposefully keep silent about other events that shatter their concept to smithereens. And it should begin with the fact that after the conclusion of the Deulin truce between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 300 Cossacks expressed a desire to serve Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov.

And the year 1620 turned out to be even more eventful. This year, under the influence of public sentiment, Sagaidachny sent an embassy to Moscow, headed by ataman Pyotr Odinets, in order to get the Zaporozhye Army accepted into the tsar's service (the hetman received 300 rubles and a diploma from the tsar). When Patriarch Theophan III of Jerusalem arrived in Kiev, Sagaidachny, on behalf of the entire Zaporozhye Army, asked him for absolution for the blood of Christians shed during the march on Moscow in 1618. Moreover, Sagaidachny provided armed protection to the patriarch of Jerusalem so that he could restore the Orthodox church hierarchy, which was liquidated during the Brest Church Union of 1596. Job Boretsky became the metropolitan of Kiev, who developed the concept of the unity of Little and Great Russia and proclaimed the Cossacks the heirs of the warriors of the princes of pre-Mongol Russia. Finally, Sagaidachny and the Zaporozhye Army joined the Kiev Epiphany Brotherhood, established in 1616.

Sagaidachny died on April 10, 1622 from wounds received during the Battle of Khotyn with the Ottoman Turks in 1621. At the same time, two strokes need to be added to his portrait. Shortly before the Battle of Khotyn, supporters of Sagaidachny seized and executed his rival, who aspired to become hetman — Jacob Wart, who came from Khlopov and was not disposed to compromise with the Commonwealth. And the poet, rector of the Kiev school, who later became a uniate and then a Catholic, Kasyan Sakovich in 1622 wrote a poem dedicated to Sagaidachny. However, here's what's characteristic: Sakovich praises Sagaidachny and his Cossacks for naval campaigns against the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire. For "svidomo" this is, of course, a terrible confession, because Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Refat Chubarov may get angry.

In a word, neither Sagaidachny himself nor his contemporary Sakovich considered the march on Moscow in 1618 a reason for pride. But in the XXI century, "Svidomo" with the help of popularization of this event ideologically prepared the population of Ukraine for aggression against Russia and the repetition of atrocities committed by the Cossacks in the 17th century.
