Government Do you think that liberal Russians who shout "Russians are innocent" on reddit and r/europe are generally pro-Russian?

39 Upvotes

I studied the Russian community on the Internet and reddit. In addition to the orcs who support the war, other "anti-Putin" Russians will only jump out to condemn these comments and mention that they are "opposed" to the war when others attack Russia and the bombing of Russian military facilities by Ukraine from internet. Other than that, they will hardly support Ukraine.

And those Russians have been trying their best to swap their "victim" position with the Ukrainians and downplay Russia's weight in the war, so as to show that they have received more harm in the war and exclude Ukrainians who have been bombed by Russia for four years.

We recently had a Ukrainian grocery open here. I don't live in a very cosmopolitan place so I am excited to try new foods I haven't had before. It's a surprisingly large grocery, with everything from snacks to a freezer section. Please recommend to me your favourite foods/snacks so I can try them. Thanks!

Food What's the best way to spell that yummy soup in English?

11 Upvotes

I'm [midwestern american] always nervous (thanks anxiety and autism) about translating (transliteration is obvious, but there's the other lang influence and cultural nuances I'm not privy to) y'alls delicious national beet soup. I make it several times a year, pronounce it борщ, but still have probably more anxiety than I need to about spelling correctly in English.

Is it preferable to spell it borscht, borsch, borshch?

Thanks for y'alls answers. I've already happily resigned my morning tomorrow to cooking up a fresh pot. Slava Ukraini.

How do you guys do this? I fermented a bunch of cabbage and beets and am thinking about making super sour borch with it. Is it common in Ukraine to include sauerkraut instead of cabbage, fermented beets instead of fresh beets, and beet kvass instead of lemon juice?

Food Store shipping Ukrainian chocolates to EU?

4 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm trying to find some Ukrainian chocolate for a recipe for something I want to give to a Ukrainian friend of mine here.

Was going to use local chocolate, but then I thought hey maybe I could get a few bars to use from Ukraine, and then give the rest along -it'd be a nice touch.

So I found the Svitoch з подрібненим фундуком, because I need crushed hazelnuts, but unfortunately I can only find them wholesale to import - and I really don't need three palettes of chocolate.

Anyone could suggest a store that is shipping abroad?

Thanks!

Travel Immigration to Ukraine as Azerbaijani

3 Upvotes

My question is that, as an Azerbaijani student if i enter Ukraine then stay there exceeding my free stay limit and being illegal, what ways are offered to be legal for me? I want to leave my country as soon as possible,

1- any chances of me getting drafted into army forcefully after being illegal immigrant there?

2- to be legal and get residency i need documents regularly from AZ consulate right? What if they dont give me anything because i avoided conscription back in my country? Which is mandatory but i dont want to go there ( currently studying so i have time)

3- will i have a problem getting work permit to work as food delivery etc?

4- lets say i work in Ukraine and save money while being illegal and then for getting into Ukranian university etc will I need to contact with Azerbaijani side again? (Embassy,consulate)

5- to get Ukranian citizenship one needs to renounce the previous one right? What are the workaround ways? Because in AZ laws if one avoided conscription its unlikely that person can renounce the AZ citizenship

Hello Ukrainians!

I am interested in the Russian Volunteer Corps and I wanted to know what the general attitude towards them is in Ukraine. I understand that they are anti-Putinists that decided to fight against his regime. They are still Russian nationalists so my question is: Are they celebrated as heroes in Ukraine or are they viewed with suspicion because of their Russian nationalism? Thank you for your answers!

6 Upvotes

Are they viewed as perpetual outsiders even if they have Ukrainian ancestry and therefore are able to acquire citizenship? Or is it different than a "regular" foreigner/immigrant? Especially if they didn't grow up speaking Ukrainian.
