Both my parents were born in Ukraine, but do tell me more.

Last time I checked, the birthplace of parents doesn't qualify you for any domain specific knowledge.

Just as you don't know a thing about the chicken Kiev speech, you lack any deep, actual knowledge of what life in Ukraine is. Or rather was before 2013.

And yeah, the whole quora post you link to is laughable - how much things does it get wrong.

You're right, it's the time I've spent learning about the subject that qualifies me to speak on the subject and how I know you're full of shit.

You evade answering questions like debt collectors.

Did you ever read a book on Ukraine's history? Name one?

I love how you keep trying to derail the discussion to make it about me instead of staying on topic of what's being discussed. It's more sophisticated trolling, I'll give you that. Here are a few books for you

  • Грани и рубежи by Гайда Ф. А.
  • Украинский вопрос в Российской империи by Миллер А.
  • Борьба за Украину и битва под Конотопом by Бабулин И. Б.
  • Імперія пам'яті. Російсько - українські стосунки в радянській історичній уяві. by Єкельчик С.
