The fundamental deception lies in the substitution of legal peoplehood with cultural symbolism. Rather than recognizing ethnic Ukrainians as a sovereign people entitled to collective rights — such as land, self-governance, and international representation — the state offered language, embroidery, and folk songs as substitutes.
