What still surprises me is that people believe the Ukrainians and Russians are so different personalities and characteristically when they were essentially the same people for so long. Suddenly, one is all virtuous and the other the epitome of evil.
Good list of quotations, worth translating. Pretty solid evaluation of a nation, of course heavily generalised, nevertheless, on the money.
“Ukrainians are ruined by their meanness, greed and venality. And leaving Russia.”
