The Kremlin has been ganging up on Yanukovych in what appears to be a very tight schedule.
Once in Ukraine, everyone gets busy.
Patriarch Kirill — slams nationalism.
Seriously, didn’t we Little Russians oppress you Great Russians for centuries?

Mayor Luzhkov — questions Ukraine’s sovereignty over Sevastopol.
Touché! Didn’t we Little Russians conquer Great Russian towns and villages, sending millions of Great Russians to the Holodomors and Gulags?
PM/Biker-in-Chief Putin — practices Ukrainian. Again!
Putin [addresses Russian bikers in Russian]: Tomorrow is Russian Navy Day. Let me greet all navy personnel with this holiday! [applause] And tomorrow Ukrainian and Russian naval personnel will be together — just as they were together — just as our peoples were together for many many centuries, in times of trials and tribulations. And tomorrow they will be together. And for this I want to give special thanks to the leadership...of Ukraine, most notably to President Yanukovich Viktor Fiodorovich [Rus: second name, first name, patronymic], both for the decision...[roar of applause]...both for the decision on the Russian Black See Fleet and for the overall atmospherics that he creates in relations between our peoples, between the brotherly peoples of Ukraine and Russia.
I want to ask you for a favor. And to make a wish too. Take care of yourselves — yourselves and those around you. Let us say no to reck...reckless racing and reckless driving. [raises voice] L-o-n-g l-i-v-e U-k-r-a-i-n-e! L-o-n-g l-i-v-e R-u-s-s-i-a! Long live the bike! [parting shot in lower-voice comic-sounding Ukrainian]
Woo hoo! Long live the legacy of Russia's Ukrainization!

Putin: Tacky European prime minister, or tackiest?
Just wondering, is the use of "Little Russian" entirely ironic, or is there some sort of movement in Ukraine to make it a "we can say that but you can't" word, along the same lines as movements in English-speaking countries?
European? The U.S. Department of State puts Russia (and its sphere of influence) in the "Eurasia" category:)
Yes, I used "Little Russians" in the ironic sense of the term.
