Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has signed a decree 'aimed at preserving the ethnic identity of Ukrainians in Russia,' that Kyiv now claims as ...
Borscht as is known all throughout most of the ex-USSR and the world is Ukrainian. The red beet version, that is. The more general term roots in Poland where (even much earlier) it meant a soup with hogweed (hence the name), then sour soups in general.
Kvass should be safe though, it’s a generally east-Slavic thing, basically low to negligible ABV sour beer from rye. And yes that’s exactly what Russians are drinking anyways, the cola craze after the fall of the USSR was short-lived.
And just to add injury to injury: Pelmeni aren’t Russian, either. The name is Permic pointing straight to (near) Siberia, it’s thought that Mongols brought the general idea of dumplings from China there on their adventures which also explains the pepper. OTOH that means that the stuff you see in supermarkets, frozen bags of them to throw in boiling water, is 110% traditional (modulo the plastic).
These threads are great because it allows me to easily isolate, find and block the obvious trolls. Man, you and isthereany are so angry. Your post histories read like typical Youtube comments. Pot, kettle?
“Russian troll” give me a break. Ukraine is a literal piece of garbage that isn’t worth even the lives of its’ own citizens. Stop taking American arms and taxpayer money I don’t have any interest in supporting your nonsense. Why are you here posting? Go sign up and head to the front lines. Invest your own life in Ukraine’s interests.
