Yes. But the fact is that the majority of the Ukrainian people speak Russian and confesses Russian faith. Not to mention the fact that the industrialized South and East of Ukraine inhabited predominantly by Russian. This land was called until 1917 New Russia. Lenin joined the New Russia to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic(mostly peasants) to increase the number of workers.I think that was his point in a, um, colorful way.
That Ukrainians shouldn't be played by the West or the Russians.
But then it did not matter - the country was unified.
We do have the right to demand reunification with Russia, right?
