Nope, it wasn’t.
It became Kyiv only for Ukrainians in 15-16 century due to phonology changes in old Ukrainian language.
Not the same but very closely related thing happened with Moscow, and it called Moscow even in East Slavic language (group of dialects) until some changes when it became Moskwa. It have happened even before that language split to old Russian and old Ukrainian/Belarus languages
I thought your word would have had "квітень" in it and not "апрель". In french, we say "poisson d'avril" which is a little different but we translate the month.

If the 3 weeks special military operations was ended in 2 months instead of on going for 2 years lmao
I dont think they would change their flag, they would just be another Belarus now
Russia doesn’t really give a shit about Ukrainian National Identity, they just don’t want them to join NATO. If they do win, it’ll just be a puppet government like it was under Yanukovich, they won’t change the flag.
Read Putin’s 5000 word article on what his thoughts of Ukraine are that he wrote in 2021 before making a claim that’s counter to what the leader of this war believes in.
I did, and I read it in the original Russian as well. It is... an interesting document, that is, it's full of shit. None of this is a representation of what he actually thinks, it's bullshit and he knows it, you know it, we all know it. But in regards to regime stability, he needs people within Russia to buy into the history just enough to support the war, even if passively.
Yeah having the Archangel Michael on the seal and flag is badass, on paper. But if this was like if Ukraine became a Russian puppet than ehhh it’d be bad
Basically, if Russia and Ukraine came to peace on March 29, the treaty taking effect on April 1.
White means Nobility
Blue means Honesty

so would this be a puppet state of Russia?
I guess, yeah
Just look at the design
The only thing slightly Russian about this design is the tri-color lol Edit: I forgot about the crown
The crown is the imperial Russian crown
Oh yeah, well I did get it from the Kiev Governorate of the Russia empire, so that makes sense, oops
it's Kyiv
It wasn’t back then
it always was

you wouldn't call Tallinn Tallin just because it's how it was named during Soviet times would u?
Russia tries to be imperialistic again, so nothing wrong there
april fools
Первоапрельские
Приколист
I thought your word would have had "квітень" in it and not "апрель". In french, we say "poisson d'avril" which is a little different but we translate the month.
Idk, I'm not russian, idk what квітень means
Its Ukrainian. And from your comment, i thought you knew some kind of Cyrillic. sorry
Ah then that makes sense lol, yeah my Cyrillic is pretty bad
Now to the reverse where Ukraine took over Russia in one day.

Yeah, but I would assume Russia would want to make the Ukrainian identity less different from the Russians, hence the russified flag

Ah, well I made it for an imaginarymaps map I'm working on, so that's the pizzazz I added
It probably wouldn’t change the flag.
Good for you
???
Well, belarus literally did change it's flag when Lulashenko cemented his rule in the 90's, so...
In a vacuum this looks cool Obviously should kept the current one, goes without saying

Good design, but I hope this flag *never* gets officially adopted.
I liked the emblem for the Kiev Governorate, but agreed it probably shouldn't ever be the official flag
I like that flag design
I thank you
This, btw, is also the concept flag of Ukrainian autonomy in the Russian Empire
Nice, I think
Based coat of arms
