"I have read some articles claiming how integrated and similar Russian and
Ukrainian history and culture are all over Medium. I have been trying to combat
those misconceptions as well as I can. If Russia and Ukraine were so similar,
thirty years of independence wouldn't have been enough time to change the
trajectory of the two nations and Vladimir Putin's grand plans for taking
Ukraine in three days would have been realized.

If Russia and Ukraine were so analogous, then why in the thirty-two years of
independence has Russia had only three Presidents while Ukraine has had six?

It's because of their divergent history that happened long before modern
Ukrainian territory became a part of the Russian Empire in the mid-seventeen
hundreds."
