A Cossack Capital?

Interfax-Ukraine Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko has said he hopes that the construction of a Cossack capital near Kyiv will start this spring.

He said this at an extended meeting of the Council of Ukrainian Cossacks in Kyiv on Feb. 22.

“I’d like us to implement this project this spring, uniting all of our efforts,” Yushchenko said.

He said that a land plot for the construction of the Cossack capital near Kyiv had already been allocated. He said that this was a good place within ten minutes’ drive of Kyiv, with a river and forest located nearby.

Yushchenko said that this would be the official residence of Ukrainian Cossacks.

Apart from the land allocated sounding very much like “prime land” normally only aquired by large bribes and payoffs in and around Kyiv…….of course not in this case being a Yushenko pet project running along nationalist lines as per normal……isn’t this a rather divisive thing?

What’s next?  Allocated land plots for a Ruthenians capital, a Crimean Tartars capital, plots for any remenence of the founding tribes of Ukraine?

Maybe Ukraine could turn into just a large number of capitals and lands similar to a patchwork quilt of Indian reservations and get rid of city administrations and regional administrations?
