modern history

From the 14th century onwards, the Ukrainians began to break away from the ancient Kievan Rus' region and form a single ethnic group with a unique language, culture and living customs.
After the unification of Russia in the 15th century, Russian peasants, fed up with oppression, fled to this zone, forming the Ukrainian Cossacks. Ukraine is a geographical name that was officially proposed in 1569 after the annexation of the area from Podoria to Zaporido in the southwest of Rus' to the Kingdom of Poland.
