Ukrainian enemy

[marina_555]

Grandma, I just forgot to add, here there are no illegal immigrants from our countries.
Their can be some from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, India, as they arrive here sometimes in big ships, like sea transport, and they mix with the crowd, but our people -NO!!! There is only one way - by air, and that is also restricted. Once your visa expires they will catch you and throw you out of the country. They don't even take our public seriously, except for that other look... So YES, we are our own enemies

Marina, it is another counry, antother culture, etc. I live in Spain and NEVER NOBODY say me something bad about Ukrain, Russia, etc., etc. Well, here in Basque Country with all their problems with nationalizm, etc. we understand each other better. The problem I have here is that here are groups of friends made in childhood, so really I havent MY group. But it isnt becouse they dont want me, it is traditions - all know each other long time, have theirs chats, etc, and you feel sometime alone. And, of course, the language. Sometime they say me "Russian", but I explain that I am not Russian, and it is all.

It is terrible that there are poeple that say "Ukraine is Russia" or "Kazahstan is Russia" that is a pure deception! And I truly hate it with a whole heart. How can a country that is older then Russia, that led to creation of Russia, and that is independent be Russia???????????????????!!!! I do not understand it. I got to go there someday, and change things... Tell them the differences, and that Ukraine is not Russia.

Je je, Stasiu, please read in Collins what it is Russian. "1. Someone or something that is R. belongs or relates to the Soviet Union. EG. ...Russian dancer... The Russian Embassy. 2. A R. is a person who comes from the Soviet Union. EG His father is a Russian. 3. R. is the official language of the Soviet Union. EG He had learnt to speak some Russian." The year of edition - 1992...

Stas, I agree with you: You should go there someday and straighten them out. I will carry the luggage you need on that trip for you, including the big stick you will need to get their attention.

Here's a joke for you guys:
Russian meets Ukrainian.\

R: Chto u vas za yazyk takoy. Naprimer slovo "nezabarom", to eto kak- vozle bara, pered barom?
U: A v vas sho za yazyk. Napryklad slovo "sravni", to tse yak- srav, chy ni.
