Abstract

The paper comparatively analyzes the extended Yugoslav crisis of the 1990s with the current Ukraine crisis, focusing on the eve of the February 24, 2022, Russian invasion. It illustrates post-1989 recurrent political behavior patterns rooted in nationalist irredentism. The Soviet regime authorities did not permit the Russian Social Federated Republic to create its own republic-level Communist Party. The paper demonstrates that Russian internal Soviet diaspora populations in the Ukrainian republic were incentivized to self-identify with the Soviet state. De facto Russification of the Soviet state nevertheless functioned and alienated non-Russian national minorities. The disintegration of the USSR left internal Russophone diaspora identity in a comparatively fluid condition. European Union integration encouraged state building around the republic borders inherited from the Soviet era. Russophone elements within Ukraine faced inducements to self-identify with the titular nation exercising the core community function of the post-Soviet core community state. Political trend irredentist responses in the Russian polity intensified. They view the EU as fortifying the construction of a Ukrainian nation state. The analysis suggests that the prevailing view in Moscow perceived the EU is a proxy for extending US hegemony. Moscow demands great power national status equality in international diplomacy. Ukraine’s partition is likely.
