Do many Ukrainians speak English?
Many Ukrainians can speak English to some extent, especially younger generations and those in urban areas. English language education is widely available in schools and universities in Ukraine, but proficiency levels may vary.
If you are from Ukraine do you speak Russian?
Not necessarily. Many Ukrainians do speak Russian, especially older people, as russian education was mandatory during Soviet times. The Russians have been trying to eradicate Ukrainian nationalism and the Ukrainian language since Tsarist times (Ems ukase), much as the English managed to eradicate the Irish language. Many more speak "surzhyk," a Russian-Ukrainian pidgin. Many students now chose to study English rather than Russian in school. Most Ukrainians have some knowledge of Russian because many movies and books are only available in that language.
What is the difference between Russians and Ukrainians?
Linguistically? Same as between say Spaniards and Portuguese. Between Scottish and Irish. Or Germans and Dutch. Characterwise: Russians are soulful romantic people. They are also emotional, philosophic and and kind of poetic/melancholy. Communal culture. Generous. Open and friendly. Ukrainians are practical, not soulful, and capitalistic. More reserved, not much into poetry. The culture is individualistic. Not so generous. Minding their own business. Not wasting time on philosophizing/intellectualizing.
Ethnic Russians are most closely related to?
Ethnic Russians are most closely related to other East Slavic peoples, such as Ukrainians and Belarusians. They also share genetic and cultural ties with other Slavic groups, such as Poles and Czechs.
Why is the word THE put before Ukraine?
"The Ukraine" used to be a common way to refer to the country, stemming from a time when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. However, Ukraine's independence in 1991 led to a shift in the usage, with "the" being dropped. Saying "the Ukraine" can now be seen as outdated or even offensive in some contexts as it implies a lack of recognition of Ukraine as a sovereign nation.
