The author shows that in the 1990-ies the bilateral relations between Russia and Ukraine were mostly based on myths and stereotypes. These relationships were also a major problem in the political struggle (especially for Ukraine) and that is why they were inevitably ideological by nature. According to the author, these relationships are going to remain complicated and controversial. At the same time Ukraine as well as Russia are objectively interested in the friendly relationships between each other and the West. The optimum variant would be promoting integration into the European structures by parallel and coordinated courses.

The author argues his thesis about the fundamental differences in the formation of the two new national identities. In his opinion, the roots of the Ukrainian identification go back to history, and are closer to rural traditions and rural mentality. This process developed in the opposition to the Pan-Russian cultural identification since the end of the XlX-th century. At the same time, the author thinks that the new Russian identification is not the direct continuation of either Pre-Peter time or the Pre-October Imperial Russian Identification though it has a traditional patriotic element.
