Huge thanks to my friends at Opal Camera for sponsoring this video! Check out the amazing C1 webcam at opalcamera.com/ Today I visited a big Ukrainian market here in New York City and tried practicing my Ukrainian. People loved it! I also had the opportunity to try delicious Ukrainian food like borscht and blintzes and get myself some vyshyvanka (traditional Ukrainian clothing). Check out the sidebar to the right of this video if you are interested in helping out with World Food Program's efforts to feed people on the front lines of the war in Ukraine.

That's nice you got to experience the ethnicity of your ancestors. Most of us have multicultural blood and unless someone lives in a culture that is totally isolated, I'm sure there are traces of other cultures running through their veins. Most of my ancestry is European including Norway and some trace African. Most of that is several generations removed so there is very little cultural residue in my life. But I do remember my grandfather telling "Pat and Mike" jokes about two Irishmen. They were lighthearted and funny. Meant more to me when I discovered that two of my ggg grandfather's names were Patrick O'Rourke and Michael Noland. Of course the jokes weren't about them, but was still cool to make that cultural connection that way.

In the Don Military Oblast, which covered Rostov on Don and Novocherkask named after Ukrainian Cherkasy, 29% of the population spoke Ukrainian in 1897. The same with the Kuban oblast, in 1897 47.4% of the population spoke Ukrainian. TO MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU THIS MEANS HALF THE POPULATION SPOKE UKRAINIAN IN KUBAN.

@@andymac7584 It's sad that you ate up Kremlin propaganda, it's clear that you have very little understanding of Ukrainian/Russian history, let alone from 18th century onward, Soviet-era Ukraine-Russia relations, and then post 1991 sovereignty. But here, I am willing to educate you and help you see the truth instead of being blinded by textbook KGB disinformation. If you actually knew the people, or actually BEEN to Ukraine, you would see that the "Nazi" narrative is a pathetic and desperate attempt by Russia to demonize a people that is, ironically, more accepting and progressive than the Russian population. Just go to any pro-Ukraine rally, march, or communities--there is no mention, let alone worship, of Bandera. I lived in Ukraine because I am from there, and ask any foreigner who lived or worked or studied in Ukraine's major cities and ask them how many "Nazis" they met. If Ukraine had a "massive neo-nazi contingent", why is the the president Jewish? Why are there international students from abroad, like Israel, China, Africa, India, etc., studying in institutes surrounded by Ukrainians and Ukrainian culture/beliefs? Why does the entirety of MODERN EUROPE fraternize and supportive of Ukrainian beliefs, values, customs, and religion and better integrated with them than Russia, the one who claims to be "anti-nazi"? Do you see the irony and classic projection tactics? Are there individuals with Nazi beliefs in the country? Of course, just as there are in Russia, Germany, Scandinavia, UK, etc. Even the AZOV battalion narrative has been blown out of proportion and embellished for over 8 years, where it would have been OBVIOUS if Ukraine as a whole--or it's majority of its forces, actually supported neo-Nazi views. But I'm not brainwashed by Kremlin propaganda, or the mainstream media either from left or the right political spectrum. I know that back in 2014 there were instances of Nazi-sympathizers, who joined the AZOV battalion, during a time where only the crazy and mad joined to fight in the Donbass cesspit. This was a tumultuous time both for the Ukrainian forces, economy, political crisis, etc. Funny how, then, instead of SPREADING or INFLUENCING the rest of the Ukrainian forces since 2014, Ukraine instead DISAVOWED those specific AZOV soldiers and their beliefs, and over time has re-institutionalized them into the Ukrainian forces structure and reformed over the years, gradually the AZOV become modernized and trained/taught under the modern European standard and NATO military doctrine, as proof of their videos, beliefs, training, and results in the war (see: Azovstal campaign). So, even the AZOV battalion, which was the one that had incidents back in 2014 (9 years ago), had moved away and abandoned any belief or doctrine that would be deemed primitive, ineffective, and non-conducive to a modern European standard of warfare. Do not mistake national pride and patriotism with Nazism. Existential wars on a nation-state either breaks the nation apart (Afghanistan) or unites the people under a common identity (Ukraine). That pride, belief, love for their homeland, is what caused Ukraine to defy expectations in the first months of the invasion on Feb 24 2022, that literally rallied Europe and pacifist nations for the first time in 70 years, since World War 2 itself. Hopefully, I helped you see the broader picture and context, and now you can see the truth. I hope you keep objective reality and historical facts free from political agendas, free from political tribalism, and only focused on the truth and validity. Propaganda comes from both sides in wars, for obvious reasons (to raise own morale and demoralize/destabilize the enemy), but the objective truth and historical facts remain.

He's ethnically Ashkenazi Jewish. Jews from Eastern Europe don't really identify with countries their grandparents+ came from, whether it's because of general ethnicity/culture which is distinct from those countries (for example practicing Judaism, speaking Yiddish, different ancestry, identifying with the Land of Israel as their ancestral homeland), or just the obviously bad experiences they suffered from antisemitism (be it pogroms or WW2). My father for example is from Austria but we have no "real" roots there; my grandparents relocated there after WW2 as Holocaust survivors. And before then they lived in Transylvania, in what was Hungary before the war and Romania after. My dad knows Hungarian from his mom (she spoke it partially in Vienna to my dad and his brother, even though Yiddish was the main language overall spoken in the home) but we are not ethnic Hungarians or Romanians and don't feel any real kin-based fidelity towards those nations.

I think what's even more impressive than the skill involved in learning the language is the bravery to try to speak when you're still learning.
