>historical consistency of Ukrainian nationalism
I'm curious about this. Many Ukrainians supported the Germans in WWII, even had their own SS unit, and after the war ended there still were fights in the Ukraine. But much water flowed down the Danube since then. And there are many loud individuals on the internet, and we could see all those blokes wearing hohols, and other memes, plus the nazis or nazi symphatizers, I'm not sure, but how many of these in reality.
Many has Russian as their mother tongue, I have to assume of those many - not just in the separatist states - have some level of sympathy towards Russia. Here's couple of ethnical/linguistic maps.
Notable division between the regions.
