The Ruthenians had been a people for centuries at that point, culturally similar but distinct from the Russians. History did not begin with the Soviet Union, nor are people defined by their borders, especially not in an age of empires and often shifting borders.

    The claim you made was "Russiafication of the Donbass increased under the Soviets." The same Soviets who granted the Donbass to Ukraine. Nothing in your comment seems at all relevant to that.
