    So because you’re right, I’m not allowed to be right at all? I never said my reason was the sole reason. I brought up a single point, and your article backed me up.

    Edit:When Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, it was referred to as “the Ukraine” because it was a region in a larger country, according to linguists and historians. It would be the equivalent of saying “the Northeast” or “the Rockies” in the United States, said Michael Flier, a professor of Ukrainian philology at Harvard University.

    Russians used the construction “na Ukraine,” roughly “in the Ukraine,” while it was part of the Soviet Union, he said.
