Abstract
Abstract This Rapid Communication asks why so much attention was paid to Ukrainian state- and nation-building as negative phenomena and so little to the jingoist nationalism in Russia in the lead-up to the invasion of Ukraine. The question has become all the more urgent after 24 February 2022. The war has confirmed the deep commitment of Ukraine’s citizens to their nation and state, and to a history that has been obscured by geopolitical grandstanding in Russia and by preconceived views of nationalism in the West.
