Ummm just no try again.You’re an irredeemably dumb peasant, lol. The fact that you don’t know the difference between ethnicity and nationality tells me what I need to know about you, you illiterate peasant.
Poles, Croat = nationality
Slav, Celt, Gual, Germanic = ethnicity
You don’t even understand European ethnic groups and the fact that some ethnic groups are scattered across different countries in Europe, that doesn’t negate the fact that they’re of the same ethnicity. A Gaelic Scot might share the share the same British nationality with an English lad but they’re not of the same ethnicity and he’s more related to an Irish lad from Dubin than the English lad.
Wasting time on you has reduced my IQ significantly. You’re a dumb ****head that needs to be flogged thoroughly. I already posted the history of Cossacks to you from Britannica. Go read the full page and don’t quote me back, low IQ having dumb jock.
Here is a list of European ethnicities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Europe
Slavs are a peoples, just like there are Germanic Peoples. Its just a classification....Like Europeans, Africans, and the human race....how far do you want to go?
Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Catalans are ETHNICTIES.
Lastly, before I put you on ignore, why does any of this mater if Uysk identifies as a proud Ukrainian, with a Pro-Ukrainian stance, who comes out to the Ukrainian flags and sings the Ukrainian anthem with his hand on his heart and just got a new tattoo of the Tryzub (Ukrainian national symbol) on his shoulder the other day? Kinda makes all this bull**** you've been spewing null and void doesnt it?Last edited by Banderivets; 06-14-2019, 10:36 AM.Comment

LOL
Well the wiki article is quite accurate but still some contradictions within the same paragraph:
The origins of the first Cossacks are disputed, though the 1710 Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk claimed Khazar origin.[nb 2] The emergence of Cossacks is dated to the 14th or 15th centuries Under increasing pressure from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, in the mid-17th century the Sich declared an independent Cossack Hetmanate, initiated by a rebellion under Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Afterwards, the Treaty of Pereyaslav (1654) brought most of the Cossack state under Russian rule.[5] The Sich with its lands became an autonomous region under the Russian-Polish protectorate.[6]
The Don Cossack Host, which had been established by the 16th century,[7] allied with the Tsardom of Russia. Together they began a systematic conquest and colonisation of lands in order to secure the borders on the Volga, the whole of Siberia (see Yermak Timofeyevich) and the Yaik (Ural) and the Terek rivers. Cossack communities had developed along the latter two rivers well before the arrival of the Don Cossacks.[8]
So established in Ukraine two centuries before one appeared on Russian territory with fundamentally different allegiances/ideologies.
The Ukrainian one historically fighting for their own independence or allying with whomever to benefit themselves and the Don(Russian) Cossacks essentially being a Unit of the Russian Emperical forces from its onset.
The only thing in common here is the term "Cossack".....
F1cking cultural appropriation man...Thats history of Ukraine for you, bigger badder mutha****as coming and claiming our **** as their own lolComment

I read that Usyk turned down a Russian passport, which he is entitled to carry, and insists on using his Ukrainian passport to visit his homeland, even though that makes entering and leaving more complicated. He comes into the ring with a Ukranian flag, not a Russian one, so it's pretty clear where his loyalty lies.Ummm just no try again.

It is pointless arguing about the difference between ethnicity and nationality. They can sometimes mean the same thing and sometimes not, depending on the context. .Last edited by kafkod; 06-14-2019, 10:39 AM.Comment

he's right you imbecile.
slavs are an ethnolinguistic group.
quoting wikipedia:
common ethnicity, not the same.An ethnolinguistic group (or ethno-linguistic group) is a group that is unified by both a common ethnicity and language.Comment

That's massive, and i'm sure not all those 100 nationalities and ethnic groups asked to be part of the Soviet Union!Funny isn't it.. I think the USSR always seemed to be treated in the West like some kinda monolithic entity but in fact there was over a hundred nationalities or ethnic groupings in an area spanning 11 time zones. I only know more about it than most cos I read a lot and my old man was a staunch Stalinist and Russophile so I kinda had an interest despite being UK/Greek myself.Comment
