Line 146:
While this source is interesting, it is from XIX century, and as seen quite an active politician, with ominous underlines, mainly Pan-Slavism, which as we know was extremely hateful towards Polish people. As such it can hardly be seen as objective and neutral source. I suggest a POV check for neutrality as a result.

:Kostomarov was anything but an active politician. He was a Historian and was exiled for his views that contradicted the Imprerial Russian prevailing line of thought. He also hand anything ''but'' hostility towards the Polish people. It is useful Molobo to at least finish the reading. Article says: ''He was critical of Catholic and Polish influences on Ukraine throughout the centuries, but, nevertheless, was better informed and more open to Catholic culture than many of his Russian contemporaries, especially the conservative Moscow Slavophiles, and later, the members of the Slavic Benevolent Societies.'' As for being critical, every non-Polish historian is "critical" to the Polish rule of Ukraine as shown in the refs to EB and CE, for instance. --[[User:Irpen|Irpen]] 16:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
