True. Or at least much of it. And almost all of it by the time of Czar Nicholas. It’s offensive, of course, to refer to Ukrainians as Russian or Polish, rather than as Ukrainian, but for most of its history, it was split between Russia and Poland. “Ukrainian” is basically a dialect of the same language as “Polish.”
