term "Svidomo" became widespread in the late eighties of the twentieth century, especially during the period of rapid development of the national identity (and simpler - nationalism) among indigenous Soviet republics.Little by little, and sometimes quite openly Kazakhs, Moldavians, Lithuanians, Uzbeks and even Belarusians and Ukrainians instills the idea that they - the real benefactors of the huge country, most of whose territory is inhabited by drunks and lazy.That is "svidomye Ukrainians" as a social phenomenon, and will be discussed.
Nationalism in the Russian Empire
essence of nationalism all fits into a simple phrase that the fact of the birth of the representative of any ethnic group to grant preferences under the condition that it occurred in its territory.During the existence of the Russian Empire, it is a mutual penetration of cultures and genotypes, but these processes were quite slow.Some national province has such extensive rights of autonomy, that they managed to maintain almost complete mono-ethnicity (examples include Poland and Finland).No nation in the history of Russia, living on its territory, did not lose their national characteristics, language and culture, while, for example, Britain - in the years of greatest power - destroyed a number of enslaved people.Nationalism in Russia was unpopular because of the age-old backwardness of most border regions and the enormous efforts made to their domestication undertaken by the tsarist government.So what is "svidomye" and where did the conscious representatives of oppressed peoples?
Soviet Ukraine
After the creation of the Soviet Ukraine in its territory held the same national policy that throughout the Soviet Union.In Soviet times, the processes of ethnic homogenization go faster, despite the fact that they were created all conditions for the development of national consciousness.Marxist theory assumes "flourishing and convergence" of all peoples.On the ground, leading cadres is traditionally chosen from among the local population, schools taught in mandatory state languages of the republics, on television and radio constantly broadcast folk music.To help industrially backward areas to send specialists and teachers.In 1939, the area of Ukraine and its population has increased due to seized from the Polish western regions.
Ukrainians in Poland
Poles first learned what "svidomye."They are faced with the problem of the struggle for national self-determination long before the Soviet authorities.These processes are accompanied by mutual conflict and terror.The aim of the Ukrainian underground action was liberation from Polish oppression, lies in the oppression of the language (Language Society), and Orthodox religious ceremonies.The national liberation movement has become fierce in the prewar period and reached its peak during the Second World War, capturing almost all post-war decade.
What is a typical Ukrainian Svidomo
It is time to explain to those who do not have "movoy" as translated "Svidomo."In Russian the word means "conscious."It is expressed in different ways, including in appearance, which should identify the most vibrant national traits.Attire emphasizes two main lines: the European (usually a business suit both men and women) and Ukrainian (cross embroidered shirt, "embroidery", which is used in a pattern of black and red colors).Representatives of the stronger sex decorate their faces with a mustache, the edges of which are lowered and less - Oseledets, that is a long forelock.But all this - not the main thing.
What is "svidomye" on the political essence
in the USSR Ukrainian nationalism was suppressed, but not defeated.During the reign of Yushchenko, he was elevated to the rank of state policy.The very meaning of the state sovereignty of Ukraine is the title of a book of another country's leader, Leonid Kuchma - "Ukraine - not Russia."
All major known by small details.If you imagine a country, a large part of the population that goes to the same church, eating for the holidays the same dishes, watching the same movies, and listening to the same music as the citizens of the neighboring country, and even talk to each other in the same language,a legitimate question of whether the existence of such a subject of international law.Ensure sovereignty can only overwhelming predominance of a new type of man.They should be Svidomo and Ukrainian.The translation into Russian of the policy term does not explain anything, it is important they are realizing their own radical difference from the Russian people.This can not be achieved without the suggestion of superiority (racial desirable).Modern Ukrainian Svidomo - this type relating to the contempt it to Russian culture, Russian language, voluntarily abandon them, and actively promoting their own views by all available means.And what they may be, it has now become clear.
