The paper addresses the problem of Russian-Ukrainian asymmetric relations as revealed in a struggle of two discourses - the discourse of imperial dominance and the discourse of national/nationalistic resistance and liberation. Critical discourse analysis is applied to deconstruct the imperial discourse as a major obstacle for the normalization of Russian-Ukrainian relations and, by and large, of Russia itself. Postcoloniality is suggested as a desirable condition for both Russian and Ukrainian cultures to achieve an internal freedom and eradicate colonial stereotypes and anti-colonial mobilization respectively .
