REASONS FOR “UKRAINE NATIONALISM” OF THE INVASION OF RUSSIA: THE CONFLICT AREA OF EUROPEAN CULTURE AND SOVIET HERITAGE

Abstract

The claims of other states to the authority of the states in the geographies that determine the limits of their absolute and eternal power are perceived as threats to the concept of sovereignty. While the claims of states are sometimes for the protection of cultural heritage; sometimes this claim can turn into a geopolitical obsession. Russia's invasion attempt against Ukraine emerged as a military result of both the preservation of its historical heritage and a geopolitical obsession. This study aims to explain Russia's invasion attempt in Ukraine with the discourse of "denazification" through the lens of Ukrainian nationalism. The study concluded that the territory of Ukraine, which became a conflict area between European culture and Soviet heritage, was used by the “West” to keep Russia out of the political borders of Europe with artificial nationalism walls.
