The separateness of Ukraine in relation to Moscow was and is created not so much by cultural and religious differences as by completely different territorial and political competitions: other political tasks of the Ukrainian Land, which Moscow cannot fulfil from its metropolitan centre, and other internal relations, for which Moscow's political ochlocratic methods of state and public organisation are not suitable. Only in the moments when these territorial political rather than cultural and religious competitions were actually carried out and personified in the form of a separate Ukrainian Monarchical State did Ukraine's separateness manifest itself and its national culture develop. And vice versa: Ukraine lost its separateness whenever the territorial and political struggles among the inhabitants of Ukraine fell, and in their place some kind of struggle for language or faith rose.
