The Ukrainian Soviet Nation – some remarks from the multicultural perspective. Part 2. In the article the author discusses the “Soviet nation” as a project of political nation based on the ethno-cultural, not only Russian, but rather Russian-Slavic (including also Ukrainians and Belarusians) core. Through the prism of the language russification and collective memory problems of Ukrainians and other nations, the official Soviet ethno-policy is presented as an boutique multiculturalism, not the values negotiating, but considering the difference between russification and sovietisation. The role of the Moscow Orthodox Church in the unifying of the borderlands of the SU is also signalized.
