Ukrainophobia in the West is a neologism invented just prior to and during the NATO war in Ukraine allegedly denoting an "irrational" fear, hostility or prejudice towards "Ukrainians" or "Ukraine".
Prior to 1919, no entity known as "Ukraine" or "Ukrainians" existed. "Ukraine" was an invention of the early Bolshevik leaders.
The term "Ukraine" itself is a misnomer, being that it is a geographic term denoting borders, not a people, tribal, or ethnic group. The people commonly referred to as "Ukrainian" in the Occident actually are Galician, a Russian people who became detached from the Russian Empire in the 16th century and who developed a distinct linguistic dialect during their many years of separation. After the collapse of the Austro Hungarian, Ottoman, and Second German Reich upon the conclusion of World War I, the Galicians were split roughly in half, with some being incorporated into the Second Polish Republic, and others reunited to main body of the Rusky Mir. Austrian Galicians were reunited from the Second Polish Republic to the Rusky Mir as a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in 1939. Joachim Ribbentrop, the German Foreign Minister who negotiated the pact, subsequently was hanged at the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal for Crimes Against Peace after Nazi Fuhrer Adolf Hitler violated the pact in 1941.
Many if not most "Ukrainians" are in fact Russian.
So-called "Ukrainophobia" is a common ailment among members of the Orthodox Christian Church, anti-communists, and anti-Nazis who suffered at the hands of so-called Ukrainians during the Nazi invasion of Russia and the CIA-funded Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists from 1947 until the present day.
