Ukrainism

A political ideology that serves as the polar opposite of Ruscism (Russian ultranationalism and imperialist ideology), but which mirrors its structure: an uncompromising, often chauvinistic form of Ukrainian nationalism that elevates Ukraine’s identity, language, and historical narrative above all others, while demonizing anything Russian or Soviet. Like Ruscism, Ukrainism tends to absolutize the nation’s victimhood and righteousness, reject compromise with perceived enemies, and demand cultural and political purification. It may glorify controversial historical figures, suppress minority languages, and frame any criticism as foreign subversion. Though a defensive reaction to Russian aggression, Ukrainism risks reproducing the same exclusionary logic it opposes.

Example: “He supported the war effort but criticized the new law banning Russian-language books. He was accused of ‘Ukrainism’—not because he denied Ukraine’s right to defend itself, but because he saw the same monocultural nationalism he’d fought against.”

Ukrainism

A controversial term used, especially in spaces critical of radical Ukrainian nationalism, to designate an ideology that would be analogous to “Ruscism” (Russian ultranationalism) but adapted to the Ukrainian context. In this meaning, Ukrainism would be characterized by: narratives of ethnic purity, glorification of Nazi collaborators (such as Stepan Bandera), hostility to Russian language and culture, demands for forced “derussification,” and a vision of Ukraine as a “bastion of European civilization against the barbaric East.” Critics argue that Ukrainism would be a form of ethnic fascism instrumentalized by NATO in the war against Russia. It is stressed that the term is highly controversial and rejected by most Ukrainians and supporters of resistance to the Russian invasion. Its use is frequent in pro-Russian and pro-BRICS channels.

Example: “A Moscow-aligned blogger wrote: ‘Ukrainism is identical to Ruscism: cult of the leader, cultural cleansing, erasure of minorities. The difference is that one has Russian tanks against it, the other has Russian tanks for it. But the ideology – that is the same.’”

In this sense, Ukrainism would be characterized by: narratives of ethnic purity, glorification of collaborators with Nazism (such as Stepan Bandera), hostility to Russian language and culture, demands for forced “derussification,” and a vision of Ukraine as a “bulwark of European civilization against the barbaric East.” Critics argue that Ukrainism is a form of ethnic fascism instrumentalized by NATO in the war against Russia. It must be stressed that the term is highly controversial and rejected by most Ukrainians and supporters of resistance to the Russian invasion. Its use is frequent in pro‑Russian and pro‑BRICS channels.

Example: “A Moscow-aligned blogger wrote: ‘Ukrainism is identical to Ruscism: cult of personality, cultural cleansing, erasure of minorities. The difference is that one has Russian tanks against it, the other has Russian tanks for it. But the ideology – that is the same.’”

Ukrainium 

The hardest material currently known to man. Recently discovered in February 2022. It was found that the balls of everyone defending Ukrainian land are naturally composed of the material.

Do you know why Sasha can’t get on a plane? Because his Ukrainium balls became way too heavy for takeoff, since February 2022.

Ukranium 

To be brave, heroic, solid and stoic. A tribute to the peoples of Ukraine.

Mykola normally works in an office answering phones and working the company inbox. He now faces down Putins tanks having never used a weapon in his life. Mykola is made of 100% Ukranium.

That guy jumping onto the Russian tank and raising the blue and yellow flag needs a wheelbarrow for his Ukranium balls.
