Hola a todos!


Me gustaría compartir con vosotros algunas fotos de mi ciudad natal - Lviv. Espero que os guste. :)






Lviv es la capital de la provincia homónima, en Ucrania.
Fundación 1256. La ciudad se funda por el príncipe ruteno y luego rey Daniel de Galitzia (uno de los principados eslavos en que se expandió la Rus de Kíev) y fue nombrada en honor de su hijo Lev (León).
La población en 2012 era de 729 842 habitantes (Ucranianos 88.1 %, Rusos 8.9 %, Polacos 0.9 %)

@jorge antar

All your information is not true.

1. Rus and Russia are different concepts. The lands of modern Russian Federation never been part of the Rus'. The ancestors of modern Russians did not take any part in the founding of Rus'. The Poles did not take any part in the founding of Rus' too. This is an undeniable truth.
2. Only the lands of modern Ukraine were part of the historical state that we call Rus'. Novgorod never been the part of Rus'. Konung Helgi (aka Prince Oleg) founded the state of Rus' with the capital in Kyiv (Kyiv is the capital of modern Ukraine). Konung Helgi was a Scandinavian, not Russian. The Rus' was founded by the Normans. The Normans were assimilated by Ruthenians in the 10th century. Ruthenians are the ancestors of modern Ukrainians, not Russians, and the Ruthenian language is the mother of the Ukrainian language.
3. BTW, do you have any proof of the historical link between the Novgorod Republic and the Russia? Do you have any proof of the link between the Pskov Republic and the Russian Federation? The Novgorod Republic was conquered by the Grand Principality of Moscow at the end of the 15th century, and the Pskov Republic was conquered by the Grand Principality of Moscow in the 16th century. It is not historical Russian lands. The modern Russian Federation consists of conquered lands (more than 95%).
4. I'm sure you did not read the study 'Frequencies of the Y Chromosomal Haplogroups in Russian Populations' on the NCBI:

^^
It's not about all the inhabitants of the Russian Federation but about the ethnic Russians. There is no doubt that many Russians are descendants of Mordovians, Veps and other Finno-Ugric peoples, and not Slav-Ruthenians. I'm sure you can not challenge this indisputable fact.
Bonus:
https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/22/10/1964/1137872 - Ukraine and Poland are the only countries in the world where genetic Slavs constitute the majority of the population. Russia is not a Slavic state.

A brief history of Lviv

1. Lviv was founded by Ruthenian (Ukrainian) King Danylo Galytsky in 1256. Lviv was named after the eldest son of King Danylo Galytsky. The Poles did not take any part in the founding of the city of Lviv.
2. The oldest churches of the city were built by Ruthenians (Ruthenians are the ancestors of today's Ukrainians).
3. The highest bell tower of the old town was built by Orthodox community of Ukrainian Assumption Church (with the help of the Orthodox Greeks).
4. St George's Cathedral, the city's largest temple, was built by Ukrainian Uniate community.
5. Ukrainian patriot Ivan Levynskyi was the largest contractor to Lviv in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Lviv Opera, Lviv Railway Station, the buildings of many hotels, banks and insurance companies were built by Ivan Levynskyi's construction company.

P.S. Over the past almost 250 years, Lviv belonged to Poland only 20 years. In the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the proportion of Ukrainians in Lviv's population was 19.9%, and Poles - 49.4%, but Ukrainians always had a majority in the region:
'According to the Austro-Hungarian Empire's census of 1910, the territory claimed by the West Ukrainian People's Republic had about 5.4 million people. Of these, 3.29 mln. (over 60%) were Ukrainians, 1.35 mln. (approximately 25%) were Poles, 0.66 mln. (approximately 12%) were Jews, and the rest included Slovaks, Germans, Hungarians, Romanians, Czechs, Romani, Armenians and others'.

After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in November 1918, the region's Poles found themselves within the West Ukrainian People's Republic. Poles constituted approximately 25% of this region's population but were the majority within this country's capital, Lviv'. (A source: Timothy Snyder. (2003). The Reconstruction of Nations. New Haven: Yale University Press, p. 123).

BTW, present-day Polish city of Chelm and City of Przemysl can be considered the Ukrainian cities. These cities were part of the Kingdom of Ruthenia. In 1914, in the Chelm Governorate lived 912,000 inhabitants, of which 50,1% of Ukrainians and only 30,5% of Poles.
