Ukraine. The turning point in the consciousness?

Maybe I'm from abroad do not adequately assess the situation, but I have a feeling that in the minds of a large number of Ukrainians took place following a fracture.

Before the Revolution, though they had felt like a separate country, but still with their Russian binds some mental umbilical cord. As if they were floating on the river in his boat, but the corner of his eye trying not to lose sight of the mother-ship. It was interesting to compare themselves with the Russians. They felt like a splinter, but still part of the empire, cultural space. Many Russians wanted to prove something.

And now "something snapped in the spine." And they realized that they have their own ship. A mother-ship sailed off somewhere to the side and disappeared into the fog. Well, the dog with him, he is no longer interested in them, they are his "already gone", he left behind. So turn off imposed by the Russian / Soviet behavior algorithms, and turn on your - Ukrainian. That way, and it has been demonstrated clean-cleaning Maidan. And maybe they will quickly lose interest in the dispute with the Russian LJ. Argue over nothing. "We are different people, and you may live as you see fit." Yushchenko tried to implant an artificial way Ukrainian, but the people were not ready. Now, maybe it will not be necessary. Common goals unite better than any myth.
