SUMMARY:

This is the English translation of a Facebook post by Borys Filatov, deputy head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration in Ukraine (https://www.facebook.com/borys.filatov/posts/632955943452973). Written on April 21, 2014, in the wake of EuroMaidan and amid the escalation of Russia’s “hybrid war” against Ukraine, this post outlines a program of Ukrainian patriotism for people who are culturally Russian. Filatov also advances a vision of the hybrid and culturally inclusive Ukrainian nation.
