41% of Ukrainians Agree They and Russians Are One People
These are the results of a recent poll from Rating Group. 41% agree with Putin’s position, 55% disagree. Not bad, considering there’s now been a generation’s worth of state svidomy narratives. [And considering that Crimea and Donbass were not polled.]
But possibly the most startling result (and certainly one that I didn’t expect) is there there’s essentially zero difference across age groups. 44% of 18-29 y/o’s agree to 42% of 60+ y/o’s, despite declining numbers of self-identifying Russians in younger age groups.
Otherwise, the regional and political party breakdowns are not surprising. Solid majorities in the South and East, amongst adherents of the UOC-MP, and the expected opposition parties (Opposition Bloc, Party of Shariy, etc.) consider Ukrainians and Russians to be one people.
Even so, the fact that even in Western Ukraine, 22% agree with this, as do 10% of Greek-Catholics, 12% of nationalist Svoboda supporters, and 10% of European Solidarity voters, was mildly interesting; it is curious and significant that such people even exist.

They should ask transients/ foreigners who have lived, worked, and/or traveled through both Ukraine and Russia for their opinion.
The Ukies have been blasted with anti Russian propaganda for 5 years now. I would bet that the poll 10 years ago would show a huge difference, and that would favor a closer Ukrainian/ Russian relationship.
Thanks AK and A E.
They have been blasted with anti Russian propaganda since Soviet times.
not accurate—20 years ago in Western Ukraine especially villages, Lvov, even Poltava I encountered xenophobic reactions when I spoke Russian to local people, something not experienced in Kiev, karkhiv, Odessa, Crimea
ukraine has significant Hungarian, Romanian, Russyn and catholic populations that have always considered themselves non Russian, closer to Poland…these polls matter little—even today 2/3 of Ukrainians speak Russian
They call it Ukrainian.
It is as different as Croatian is from Serbian.
That is what they’re doing to you.
It is called Balkanization.
Denying it will only make it happen quicker.
They tested the formula first on us and now it’s your turn. Have you (Russians; assuming you are one?) not learned anything?
you are typical amerikan rat idiot
I lived in Kiev for 3 years—ukrainian never heard
your stupidity again obvious
while Serband croat languages has very little differences, there are many between Russian and Ukrainian
“amerikans are ignorant and unteachable”. George Santayana
Wrong again mcflurry.
Didn’t I tell you I was Serbian, moron?
There is very little difference between what is called Ukrainian and Russian.
Ukrainian is not even registered as a real language.
That’s just Marxist nonsense.
Know I know what you are.
You’re a filthy Ukrop.
Eat shit Troglodyte!
idiot rat driver hrvastska amerikan nazi: I am 100% Russian, u durak—you are typical amerikan kysly…”amerikans cannot think except by means of slogans—they identify garbage as quality. the stupidity and ignorance of amerikans has long been a topic of hilarity in Europe”. Paul Fussell

amerikanski plohoi malchik—chelovek goloboy….any Russian or Ukrainian is aware that in Lvov only Ukrainian spoken…moron hillbilly amerikan lives on schlyha ulitza w boyfriend—you are only “registered” as amerikan LGBT…u are expert as “eating shit”…tiresome insecure feminized racist amerikans always amuse…u cannot distinguish Macedonian from Slovenian–u r so stupid
your typical amerikan stupidity is farcical
The Subcarpathian Ruthenians= Russins, hate the ukrofascists, and won’t be part of that artificial country! But the Ukrofascists opress them brutally!!! U-kraina is U=pussyland, receiving dick( see their ” trident/ dick” state symbol; and from Kiev, they made Chuiev!!!
Russian Federation is world superpower, and has great future and potential! The new enlightenment era starting from Far East, China as First, Russia will follow,due to its huge size! Ukraine is declining,vassal state,looted by the West…Most of the Ukrainian inhabitants regret the artificisl separation from Mother Russia, and wish to restore close ties! But economically, Russia must reject the looted and destroyed U-kraina!!!
Why should the Russian taxpayers pay for zionazi loots in U-kraina? Let the Ukrofascists starve to death…It’s coming upon them! 15 million already left that vassal state for another countries!!!
this is not surprising—since 2014 US coup 10 million Ukrainians have departed—an estimated 5 million to Russia, others to Moldova, Poland, USA, UK, etc. a disproportionate number of uneducated villagers that speak Ukrainian as a 1st language remain
