Ukraine is Not a Part of Russia; It's a Part of Western Civilization

Did you know Kyiv is nearly 1,000 years older than Moscow?Did you know Ukrainian is far older than the Russian language?Did you know Russians can’t understand Ukrainian?Did you know Russia even stole its name “Russia” from Ukraine?In this episode, I greatly enjoyed speaking with Igor Osypenko, the director of OLOS-Foundation, which is devoted to the development and popularization of Ukrainian culture and history. We did our best to dispel the endless myths Moscow has created to justify its imperial expansion into Ukraine. Learn about Ukraine’s distinct history, language, and culture, proving how unique and separate it has been from Moscow throughout its history. Ultimately, Ukraine is in fact a part of Western civilization, Russia is not and has never been.Make Russia Small Again!Ihor Osypenko, Partner in OLOS.UA company, which has provided education for Ukrainian entrepreneurs in leadership, management and negotiations since 2008.
