Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Russians: why don’t you like us so much?
Ukrainians: You nation is trying to destroy our country again. Actually, your policy towards us hasn't changed from 19th century. All of you need to go through the process of decolonization, review your history and culture. It is time to acknowledge Russian imperialism and colonial view on other nations which is still strong nowadays. You need to accept that our relations weren’t equal, it is a history of abuse. Then we can talk
Russians: it’s putin’s war. That’s all lie. We are brother nations
Ukrainians: ok, in the context of war and a time when our existence as nation and country is in danger, we define everything Russian to be an existential threat. Our priority is to survive, everything else can be reviewed later. We are protecting Ukrainian in Ukraine from Russian destruction
Russians: how dare you. We knew that you hate us for no reason. You are nazi
I was scrolling Instagram Reels and everything was fine, until I saw a video of a Ukrainian girl dubbing anime.
Honestly, I forgot what a pleasure is communication with not all Russians
She’s a cool girl but why she doesn’t speak Russian?
Well, I don’t know. Because other languages exist? Oh, wait
And now write in a human language
Explanation: a human language is any other language that is not Ukrainian, cause you know, Ukrainian language is an animal language
The Ukrainian language is a rural Russian. That’s why a lot of people find it funny. We haven’t been to the village, haven’t heard «бурак» (a twisted Ukrainian word for beetroot) and «кавун» (a Ukrainian word for watermelon).
The good old Russian belief that Ukrainian is a language of uneducated people from the countryside
South Slavic forms of Russian are quite similar to each other, do you also laugh at Serbian language or South Western Czech language?
It seems this person was trying to talk some sense into the previous user but South Western Czech is a South Slavic form of Russian????
Actually, no politics or something, but Ukrainian sounds somehow, I don’t know, like a rural language
A few moments later
500k dead pigs. It’s not enough, we need more
What did happened to ‘no politics’?
It’s common for Russians to call Ukrainians pigs, by the way
The most useless dubbing
It’s useless because it’s Ukrainian. Nothing new
Who might find the rural language, which only makes you laugh and smile, useful? You, even the Ukrainians themselves, don’t speak it
There are only two types of Russians: who thinks that no people speak Ukrainian in Ukraine, and who thinks that evil people who speak Ukrainian violate rights of Russian speakers in Ukraine
Weird, I’m so accustomed to reading such comments for all these years that I don’t have any emotional response to the insults.
In my class we had a refugee from Ukraine whose native language was Russian for a few months (she then moved to a different city) and we have like 6 Russians in our class, but none of them ever talked to her even though they all spoke Russian fluently. It was obvious how much they hated her because she was from Ukraine.
Me and some others in our class tried helping her out a bit but it was not so easy because she only spoke very few English and German.
Gotta say I thought the people in our class would show more support, like even some of the Non-Russians, but with Russian friends, were bitter. The majority would speak to her (over an translator) one or two times and then just coexist. I and like three others were the only ones who were actually sometimes with her during school. (The Ukrainians in our school visited a German class during most of our classes, so that they didn’t have to just sit there and listen to someone teaching something in a language they didn’t understand.)
But, I was actually shocked about the fact that our Russians didn’t want to talk to her, because at I know that at least three or four of them aren’t Putin fans. I mean ignoring a classmate is definitely not the worst thing Russians do to Ukrainians outside of the war but I still think it’s important about the ignorance of some. Maybe not all Russians are Pro-Putin but the majority isn’t as Anti-Putin as they should be, either.
