Imagine a drunk dirty bum walking up to you at night and start saying some gibberish. You can understand some words and kinda get the point he is trying to make, but you will laugh at his spasmic vocal skills.
That is exacly how hohols sound to russians.

Ukraine means war border.
The country should be split between Russia and Poland.

In middle ages Varangians(Vikings) conquered the territories of modern Northern Russia, Belarus, Central and Western Ukraine. It was inhabited mostly by Eastern Slavs, but also Balts, Finno-Ugrians and some Turkic tribes.
Varangians established Rus' with the capital in Kiev. But it wasn't really a unified entity, maybe for small period of time. Rus' was more of a confederation and in later years it completely fragmented and Kiev was only the capital in name.
When Mongols invaded, it completely disintegrated and was divided into Northern and Southern parts. Muscovy dominated Northern part and established Tsardom of Russia. Southern part(also called Ruthenia) was really devastated by Mongols so it was easily absorbed by Lithuania and Poland. This division pretty much outlined the future.
Ruthenia was under heavy Polish influence, language was polonized and faith was under catholic pressure. Russia was longer under Tatar-mongol Yoke, so it influenced their way of governing a lot. But after getting rid of Yoke, they were pretty much independent so they conserved their orthodox faith and language was more influenced by Old Church Slavonic.
Later when the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth got partitioned, Russia took over most of modern Belarus and Ukraine. And around that time Ruthenian language was split into Belarusian and Ukrainian. In the Russian Empire Ukrainian language was called Little Russian though, and common people called themselves either Rusyn or Rus'kyi.
Ukrainian idea arose somewhere in 19th century, but just as an idea. It wasn't really popular among common people. Who created this idea is not certain. Maybe it was Ukrainians themselves, but many say it was Austrians, some say Jews.
But I know for sure that Ukrainian identity became dominant among common people when it was enforced by the Bolsheviks during their policy of Korenization in 1920s - beginning of 1930s.
