I don't remember ever hearing this word, and even after googling I'm not sure what exactly it means. Also, I don't see what it has to do with "москаль".
I'm stumped.

Действительно, Булгаков был киевлянином, сыном священнослужителей из русского Орла и украиноскептиком (чтобы не сказать больше).

I still don't understand what "украиноскептик" means.
So, I won't be able to comment on it after all.

Моска́ль — екзонім росіян, уживаний серед українців, білорусів та поляків. [...] Часто вживається як образлива та іронічна назва громадян Росії незалежно від їхнього етнічного походження чи місця проживання.

Я всё понимаю, только не очень ясно зачем наводить тень на плетень?
