: Yanko:"Anyway, I hear Hitler had some Jewish blood in him, so according to your perverse logic Jews now should feel guilty for Hitler, oder?"
: Yanko, you just convinced me with this sentence that anti-semitism in Veliky Berezny, your home town, was real already in 1922. I guess, it increased since that time because of nationalistic influence of Ukrainians from Galicia.
: As a Ukrainian, you should keep in mind the tradition of pogroms that started with Ukrainian Cossack Leader Bogdan Khmelnicky and try to deal with it. This is real, the hearsay is pathology only of your mind.
: Joe.
Hi, Joe.
It looks that you like to mix all things together. You probably like cocktails very much. Here I don't see any question for me, but what is nationalistic influence anyway? This is a pure statement of Soviet period. You go as far as Bohdan Khmelnytsky but can you go further or your knowledge just suddenly stops there? Pogrom is not a Ukrainian word and why this things happened you have slightest idea. Next time you read a book about pogroms look who wrote it.
If you want to know, Joe, many Ukrainians in Galicia called themselves Rusyns not so long ago. And now, this is specially for you, Joe:
Mala baba try syny,
Troye buly Rusyny,
Odyn hodyv do shkoly,
Drygyi kuvav pidkovy,
A tretiy, rozpusniak
Vylliav babi kapusniak.
Were you the third one, Joe?
Let's talk about Soviet commissars next time and how it happened that millions of innocent people in Ukraine were killed or starved to death and nobody is responsible so far? Many of those commissars with well rounded bellies are still alive and became refugees in US, Israel and other contries. Moreover, they brought all of their families with them and tell everybody they were persecuted back in the USSR. In reality, they were communists with best possible jobs, state apartments, access to good education for their children. These "refugees" never had to live in poor villages but in big cities. How do you like that?
Be well. Moshe.
