Abstract

The article examines the myth of the historical cultural and educational superiority of the Ukrainian community over the Great Russian community in the Middle Ages and in Modern Times, and the cultural "colonization" of "Turkic Muscovy" by Ukraine. According to this pseudo-historical construction, Russia stole the Ukrainian cultural and educational potential in the reign of Peter the Great, when prominent Ukrainian educators were taken from its territory to Moscow. This concept is detrimental to historical truth, since it perverts the true causes and nature of real events dating back to the processes of reunification of Ukraine with Russia in the 17th–18th centuries and the formation of a single religious and cultural space.
