"::The Russian imperialism is ""rather on the fringe of the mainstream views within RU nation?

Are you kidding me, Irpen? Or the readers of my talkpage? I want everyone going to tell fairy-tales here to make a respective warning in the beginning of his text. Even if tales are put down by such a skilled and polite writer as you are  ;).

It's just opposite! RU shauvenism is established and encouraged by the state policy of RF, both domestic and foreign (namely of Putin). And, since they have no democracy and TV freedom at all (while we have very little), what may the mainstream view  be, if not imperialistic shauvenism? While in UA excessive liberalism and (ocassionally stupid) tolerance is the state policy. That was the layout of my POV. But. It IS NOT a usenet group indeed. So I'll try to support my point with balanced editing, links and citations. 

As for your point, I'm afraid that your  ""moderate Ukrainian POV""  is amusingly moderate as for me ;) Best wishes,
