Polish city.

[@amazingukraine.irynagegelska]

Hello Thank you for your comment. Lviv can’t be Polish simply because the majority population in the Galicia region were Ruthenians. Old Ukrainian population. Ukrainian city Lviv was started by King Daniel of Galicia in honour of his son Leo I of Galicia. Their dynasty belonged to Kyiv Russ princes. In 1349, Casimir III the Great congested Galicia, including Lviv. Lviv was built by different nationalities (there were Germans, Polish, Ukrainians, Armenians, and Hungarians). In the 17th century, the Polish administration forbidden citizens of other nationalities to build something in the city except restricted districts. In such a way were started streets Ruska or Virmenska old Ukrainian population. If you consider Lviv a Polish city because they built there, I would say many old Ukrainian cities were built by Polish and Ruthenian nobilities. We have many connections. Many Ukrainians now have noble Polish roots. My surname is Gegelska which is Polish. But I consider myself Ukrainian, of course.

The old stone and brick Lwów was entirely built by affluent Polish nobleman since its fundation on the Magdebourg principle by Casimirus the Great in 1356, NONE of the earlier russyn timber structures survived, cultureless ukrainians are trying to appropriate Polish heritage due to the absence of their own... she wouldn't even say the name of the pharmacist inventer of the lamp because it is Polish ŁUKAŚIEWICZ! As a small minority of lower class citizens, russyns, including ukrainians, contributed essentially NOTHING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RICH ARCHITECTURE OF THE POLISH CITY OF LWÓW.

[@amazingukraine.irynagegelska]

Hello Thank you for your comment. The reason why I didn’t mention Ignacy Łukasiewicz because this is a short video and I can’t mention everything. But you are right, I should. Ignacy Łukasiewicz originally was Armenian, whose family lived in Poland. Ukrainian city Lviv was started by King Daniel of Galicia in honour of his son. Leo I of Galicia. Their dynasty belonged to Kyiv Russ princes. In 1349, Casimir III the Great congested Galicia, including Lviv. Lviv was built by different nationalities (there were Germans, Polish, Ukrainians, Armenians, and Hungarians). In the 17th century, the Polish administration forbidden citizens of other nationalities to build something in the city except restricted districts. In such a way were started streets Ruska or Virmenska Lviv can’t be Polish simply because the majority population in the Galicia region were Ruthenians old Ukrainian population. If you consider Lviv a Polish city because they built there, I would say many old Ukrainian cities were built by Polish and Ruthenian nobilities. We have many connections. Many Ukrainians now have noble Polish roots. My surname is Gegelska which is Polish. But I consider myself Ukrainian, of course.

@amazingukraine.irynagegelska There were no ukrainians before the desperate german- austrian1918 Brest treaty against Polish and Russians. The russyn early medieval timber structures were burned down twice, including burning of the defence walls in 1240 by russyns themselves as an act of submission towards approaching mongols. The new stone and brick town was located outside timber ruins, and the Magdebourg principle doesn't mean that the town was built by germans, NONSENCE! In the thorough census of 1931, there were 65% of native Polish, 25% jews and 7.8% of russyns living in the city mainly as a domestic servants. They contributed NOTHING to the development of the Polish city of Lwów. Austrian administration used tax money from rich Polish nobility to further develop the city in the 19 century and favohred russyns to weaken Polish influence. The medieval minority russyn population was polonised by the Renaissance and remained Polish through the history. Polish formed the large majority of inhabitants for SIX CENTURIES!!! Longer than most of the states in Europe. Polish kings of the Piast dynasty were also Przemyslids and inherited the rights to the land, especially after the childless deaths of rules of the Wołyń, Mazowian principalities. Ukrainians belong to the Zaporożie region...

@@Ian-vj5pv Hello, I appreciate your opinion, but you are wrong to say Lviv had no Ukrainians. The Ukrainian National Revival started in western Ukraine in the 19th century. The Ukrainian national revival in the territory of what is today Western Ukraine is considered to have started around 1837, when Markiyan Shashkevych, Ivan Vahylevych, and Yakiv Holovatsky published Rusalka Dnistrovaya, an almanack of Ukrainian folk songs in Buda, Hungary. During the Revolution of 1848, the Supreme Ruthenian Council was founded in Lviv, becoming the first legal Ukrainian political organization. In May 1848, Zoria Halytska started publishing as the first newspaper in Ukrainian. In 1890, the Ukrainian Radical Party, the first Ukrainian political party, was founded. Actually, nowadays it is better for us both Ukrainians and Polish people to support each other. Overwise, we both can be divided by big empires, like the Russian and Austro-Hungarian in the 18-19 centuries.

[@Ian-vj5pv]

@amazingukraine.irynagegelska the number of russyns in the Polish dominated Lwów never exceeded more than 10% of population. They contributed effectively NOTHING, as small and lower class minority to the development of the POLISH CITY OF LWÓW. You have to admit ukrainian bestial murderous behaviour and ethnic cleansing of the Polish territories during WW2.

[@amazingukraine.irynagegelska]

There were a lot of intelligent Ukrainians in Lviv University in 19 century Polish magnates turned Ukrainians to slaves in 16 century And what? Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Poland 🇵🇱 today are independent states who support each other 😊
