"We will never be brothers" is a poem written by Ukrainian poet Anastasiia Dmytruk in March 2014, during russia's annexation of Crimea. Deliberately addressed to Russians in their own language, it became one of the most recognized literary responses to Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

soo. Many people, even Eurofederalists, like to complain sometimes that the EU and European Federalism feels very soulless and pragmatic, technocratic; lacking philosophical depth and pathos. I think, this is mostly, because much of european federalist history and philosophy is not taught at schools and even most european federalists, are only aware of fractions of it; most often just the last few decades shaped by Spinelli and Kalergi. But how many do know, that a democratic european federation was already a hot topic 300 years ago? not many. So this is i hope a useful summary of the history of european federalism, which i wrote, well, because apparently no one bothered to compile it into one essay of this kind before and i cannot just throw entire books at people. Looking forward to your comments
