Ukrainian nationalism (Ukrainian: Український націоналізм, romanized: Ukrainskyi natsionalizm) is the promotion of the unity of Ukrainians as a people and the promotion of the identity of Ukraine as a nation state.[1] The origins of modern Ukrainian nationalism emerge during the 17th century Cossack uprising against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Ukrainian nationalism draws upon a single national identity of culture, ethnicity, geographic location, language, politics (or the government), religion, traditions and belief in a shared singular history[2] that dates back to the 9th century.[3]
