How about we ditch the name The Ukraine altogether and just go with the more accurate name - Malorus, since it's really just Little Russia. Or maybe Kievan Rus. And you Little Russians should stop trying to steal Gogol, who's Russian, just because you want to pretend like you've contributed something to European literature.
Ruthenia is the correct answer. Though I will allow for Galicia-Volhinia.
My memory fails me- is that the race of Cossacks that ran the Hetmanate after 1648?
Yep - the Zaporizhian Host.
