The wind chill though... in Kharkiv it's going to be -5 F on Saturday, which Google tells me is -20C. Kiev isn't much better - low of 4 F wind chill on Friday morning. https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/ua/kharkiv/49.99,36.23
it's not ready yet, but if this is the same quality as the other languages on this site, it will be a good source: https://www.duolingo.com/course/uk/en/Learn-Ukrainian-Online
you can sign up to receive a notification when it's ready, probably in the next 6 months based on their other releases.
You may consider teaching English, as any native speaker is valued. Even if speaking practice is the only thing you can propose - you'll likely have some clients. Register at https://preply.com or some similar site, make your rate like three times lower than average, and that should do. You also may be useful at some offline courses (a lot of them are opening now), as looks like live communication is more preferred for you.
Welcome to Ukraine!
You can buy prepaid SIM card and get mobile Internet access in a minute. It's cheap ($2-3), so later you can simply throw it away. SIM cards are available in food stores, kiosks and many other places.
3G coverage by all major operators (Kyivstar, Vodafone, Lifecell) in Kyiv is more or less the same.
If you really need offline dictionary, then try this
It has only Russian dictionary, but in Kyiv (sad to say) it would be hard to find menu in restaurants or other information in Ukrainian. Unless this is some official information.
Braindrain is happening nonetheless.
Ukraine needs to return most of them.
As a Ukrainian I doubt Ukraine needs EU, it would be good of course, but it's not a vital precondition.
I would show this map to Dutch, so that they understand what is Ukraine, at least basics:
It's a completely European country, just not rich, yet. Without colonial past, without guilt complex.
Central Europe is the future of Europe.
Oh man we are losing this.

- Start a civil war instead of negotiation, protest, or joining the nationwide election ( which given the margins would have made a difference), check
- hide behind civilian buildings, check
- fire at Ukrainian armed forces behind said civilian buildings
- break ceasefire
- break another ceasefire
- break third ceasefire for good measure.
Yup, safe to say the rebels are responsible for this.
But good effort trying to make the Ukrainian army look bad despite all the looting and executions by the "freedom fighters" of Donetsk.
Well, I think I can help you a little bit with that.
I tried to find them in passenger logs from that time (because I'm bored and I like stuff like that). Didn't spend a lot of time on that, so you should look further. Now, there is no surname Holiney, but doesn't mean anything because a lot of people changed their names in USA after arrival to suite English language.
But I what I did find is this person on ancestry. https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/michael-holiney-24-7btrzz
It says that this person is born in Austria. Now, if it's the same person and if the data is correct, according to 1887 map of Austria-Hungary (Austro-Hungarian Empire) , he must be from the West, Galicia region.
Meanwhile, here is how America's magazine The Atlantic portrays Estonia in the current issue - and see the numerous long comments:

Trains are the best way to travel! I use tickets.ua app to get my tickets. There's definitely trains from Uzhgorod to Lviv and I do recommend a day to explore Lviv.
I always rent a flat. Airbnb and this website will have you covered. Just stick to flats near the Rynok (main square) and Svobody Ave and you'll be fine. In general I'm not much of a touristy person. I prefer to get to know a city by walking around, checking out architecture, and meeting locals in pubs and cafes. Besides that, a few nice things to do there are walking up the hill to High Castle, going to the parks around Ivano Franko University (Stryisky in particular), and visiting Lychakiv Cemetery. There's also some really nice churches in the center to see as well. Trip Advisor is my go to website when I'm in a new city to find things to visit and the best places to eat.
Movie is really unpopular, so unfortunately I guess that nobody just didn't make a substitutes for it ( But on other situations I recommend you to use https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/subs is subs for some movie ever existed you'll find it there
Yep, their maps are probably the best for the car navigation in Ukraine. BTW they have a free navigator app in google play with the most recent maps of Ukraine (no many features, but working): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ezgo.eznavimobile.ukr
This photo is taken from Holodna Gora district. You can easily recognize TV Tower "Orion" on Holdberhivska street.
Golden Gate pub is quite popular among expats, so you may try it to find "local" English-speaking people.

Haha! The world domination thing is a joke. People are taking it seriously...which is funny yet again!
Here is an interesting background story about Hunter Biden, Joe' s son. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-ukraine-joe-biden-son-hunter-biden-ties.html
Clearly Joe Biden is finished his work so the Ukraine visit is quite odd. There really is no reason for Hunter Biden to be involved in Ukraine Gas as a board member. He makes that yearly salary in a day already. Yet he and his financing best friend are board members. People become board members to get a look inside the company at all the books and problems prior to a purchase.
The real question is how much is it going to cost to acquire now that Trump won the election...or if the whole deal is off and Joe is trying to save it.
Definitely visit Lviv, the best city in Ukraine in my opinion. It has many options for the interests you listed and lots of other awesome stuff to do.

So if she studies geology here chances are she lives at Kyiv, vul. Lomonosova, 61.

If your English is ok, you may try to switch your Duolingo settings to "I speak English', and Ukrainian for English speakers will be available for you. Learning another Slavic language through English may seem a bit weird, but it's not really difficult: I currently learn Polish this way (I completed Swedish for English speaker previously).
This is a good question, indeed. But it is a manipulation at the same time.
Read this independent study of mine to understand: https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/netocrat/learning-from-ukrainians-in-the-annexed-crimea-their-preferred-ways-of-relating-with-their-homeland
Irrelevant was not the right word - sorry for wasting your time with that. "Not definitive" is a better construction. Think of cases like The People's Republic of China or The Congo or The Gambia; each has its own logic. In this case, you can translate from Common East Slavic if that is less offensive to you and you still get something equivalent to the English "borderlands," which happens to be a plural and more faithfully rendered with a "The." It's not as if this evil article descended from the heavens to somehow oppress the Ukraine with its mere presence. The construction has a tradition and logic to it and remains in common use. It is thus a perfectly acceptable variant.
Actually, this is exactly what I’ve done.

There was a great book from 1999 called The Beast Reawakens: Fascism's Resurgence from Hitler's Spymasters to Today's Neo-Nazi Groups and Right-Wing Extremists by Martin A. Lee.
It showed how, after their defeat in World War 2, surviving fascists and Nazis from Germany and elsewhere kept a low profile, but gradually amassed money and political connections in countries all over the world, over the second half of the 20th Century. By the 1990's the far right was again growing bold enough to engage in politics as fascism in all but name, advertising its agenda in barely-veiled terms to a growing mass of followers in various nations.
I mention this because there was a whole chapter about resurgent fascism in Russia. I confess I skimmed and don't really remember this chapter, as I am an American and Russian fascism didn't seem as important back then, from my viewpoint as the more local American fascist movement. In any case, Lee described the Russian and US far right as following the same sort of path (get money, court insiders already in government, grow the membership). Of course the fascists in Russia had the same sort of goals as the mafia there, and by now they are one and the same.
Now I see that the Russian fascist movement was also important because it was working hand in hand with the far right in the US, eventually resulting in the storming of the US Capitol by people who did not even understand they were working for Putin. Fascist movements and governments cooperate everywhere to destroy democracy.
Forgot about this convo until I saw this tab open. Here's a book you might like. I've had decent success with its methods.
I hope that link works, I deleted a lot of what looked like extra crap. The book is called A Manual for Creating Atheists by Peter Boghossian. If you really want to help people find their way out of religion, that's a good place to start.
If you just want to continue being right and feeling smug, by all means carry on. But please understand that you're actively pushing people deeper into their beliefs by treating them poorly.
Jean-Claude Van Johnson was quite brilliantly surreal too. Got to love an 80s action star who is happy to take the piss out of himself and play to the cringe factor instead of taking everything so seriously.

He is like the anti-Seagal.
My stepson is a recent Spanish speaking immigrant. His teacher uses a live translation earpiece. As she speaks in English her speech is uploaded to the web, translated, and sent to his earpiece as Spanish audio. It works in reverse so he can speak Spanish and she hears English. He says it works pretty well.
I don't know the exact model they use. There are several sold on Amazon from under $100 to a few hundred. Your admin might be willing to fund it or reaching out to your community might get a few people to chip in.
Of course it needs a live internet connection and, I think, a smart phone.
US buyers. It's available through the UKRPOSHTA storefront on Amazon. $34.99 for "Kherson is Ukraine!" Ukrainian Postage Stamp Set (6X Stamps, 1x Envelope, 1x Postcard).
As always, make sure that under the listing price it specifies BOTH Shipped By and Sold By UKRPOSHTA.
The story behind the Magnitsky act is so crazy, if you haven't heard much about it check out Bill Browder. He was the biggest western investor in Russia and his Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky was horribly murdered in jail after uncovering massive amounts of corruption. They expected to be lauded for bringing it to the attention of the state, but instead they tried to pin the corruption/theft on Browder and Magnitsky. After Sergei was killed, Bill made it his life's mission to pass laws in as many countries as possible (Magnistky acts) that take away corrupt Russian assets. Putin hates it, and has made Bill Browder enemy number one, put in something like 7 'Red Notices' on him, and tried multiple times to extradite him back to Russia. He has a few books on it, including one called Red Notice in fact https://www.amazon.com/Red-Notice-Finance-Murder-Justice/dp/1476755744
Do you have a source for this? I'm not challenging you or anything, it sounds fascinating and I'd like to jump down that rabbit hole.

>I’m thinking it could be supplied to Ukraine through the facility in metro Detroit??
This is the first I am hearing of this. Is there a big gathering of supplies in Detroit only, going to Ukraine? Or do most major cities have something of the sort going on?
And what kind of things can be sent? I know regular stuff is ok, but what about things like prescription antibiotics and painkillers?
At one point, I was thinking about ordering something like these, but even if I got 6 cases of them, that isn't even a days worth. I feel so damned futile.
Sounds like a maybe a battery issue, that would be most noticeable during long cold spells. Looking at this : https://www.accuweather.com/en/ua/kyiv/324505/january-weather/324505 it -5 and below will only be intermittent.
No, the winds in S Ukraine are presently from the NE, so from the reactors it would mostly travel SE over Kherson, Odesa and the Danube delta (where all the grain is being shipped).
I'm sure you can't directly compare Ukraine and Canada - way different circumstances like Gulfstream, but fine. I actually checked the weather. In the coldest part of Ukraine where there is combat, Kharkiv, there's no day colder than 10 degrees: https://www.accuweather.com/en/ua/kharkiv/323903/may-weather/323903?year=2022
No way that any decent amount of snow would fall in that weather, nevermind stay any amount of time.
"Fallout is still a problem though, obviously."
And that problem, if used in the East or South of Ukraine, would absolutely fall more on Russia (and interned Ukrainians in Russia). Prevailing winds in the East and South tend to drive everything into Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar and Southern Volgograd.

Recently, I saw an interview with a Polish journalist, Krystyna Kurczab-Redlich, who wrote a book about Putin. She lived in Russia for many years and appears to know and understand the Russian thinking.
One example she cited, was a revelation that pretty much sums up the stupidity of the Russian mind.
She conducted a series of interviews, and one particular guy's answers encapsulated all you need to know how Russians thin, and how stupidly arrogant they are.
So a guy, living out there somewhere in the East where they never heard about household plumbing, and the dogs bark with their asses, was asked if he would prefer to continue living in Russia, or move to Switzerland:
"Russia, of course", was the answer. "Look at the map and compare! Who'd like to live in such a small country as Switzerland:.
No idea if you have access to such things, or if your school could purchase them for you, but there are earbuds that translate as you speak.
My stepson, a Spanish speaker, said they work well for his English speaking teacher to communicate with him. I am not sure which brand of device his school uses.
Just a very few words from his teacher in his native language helped him in his early days at the new school. Learn a few basic phrases in Ukrainian such as "Hello! Good morning! Welcome to school!"
Using something like this? Link: MAXZONE Automatic Submersible Boat Bilge Water Pump 12v 1100gph Auto with Float Switch (Blue - Automatic) Edit: non shortened link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JKFV9Z/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_0E4PJ0QZF9SRY8DTSKJX_0
Agreed, but if it is portable and drained when not in use, it could still be plausible. I picture something like the below item + link with a battery and some short hoses to be set up when raining, or during snow melt.

The Ukrainians will need full blown overboots and goretex boots for winter. When it gets colder they may not have to worry about the water as it will freeze over, but this is all new territory for this Ukrainian army, and they will have to learn the lessons of WW1 all over again by building more complex trench works to keep their feet dry. Russians are having the same problem, but likely much worse.
There is also this very low-quality movie called Famine 33.
Based on the book Yellow Prince by Vasyl Barka, the survivor of the Holodomor.
There are portable stoves like this that can burn either canned fuel or wood/grass/whatever flammable material is on hand.
As for shipping, don't use USPS. There are private parcel services like Meest, Nova Poshta, and Dnipro LLC that are cheaper and quicker. If you want to DM me, I'll fill you in.
He seemed sincere on fighting for Ukraine. I mean his hero is Chruchill and he wrote a book on the guy seven years ago https://www.amazon.co.uk/Churchill-Factor-How-Made-History/dp/144478305X
I mean he did play it up a bit to cover over his other issues but that was secondary.
It's right there in the screen cap, over on the right, where it says "shipped from Russian Federation".

I have installed fancier version of these in small boats. They don’t need much electricity and they don’t use a lot of fuel. A 12v battery with a solar panel would be good to run the small pump they require. Pump out a lot of heat. But I guess you need access to fuel. They can run on a few different fuels in some cases. They also have an exhaust system that can be plumbed outside the apartment.
Would definitely add a CO alarm with and open flames in an enclosed space.

Really good point on the wiring. I use this and can confirm it heats a 150 sq foot, 14 sq m, room very effectively. I’m not sure the load and, to your point, not sure what 100 of these pulling at once would do in an apartment complex

It's important to draw a distribution between effective and wholesome.

Anyway, Zelenskyy was not succeeding and his popularity had cratered before the invasion.
Russian invasion transforms Zelenskyy
Of course, when Putin invaded, leadership became much more important than administration. And, silly at it may sound, Zelenskyy spent years acting like a leader on TV. Yes, that does count.
I really dislike the "great man" concept of history, but I'm convinced what turned this into a catastrophe for Russia was that one line:
I need ammunition, not a ride.
Ukraine could have put up stiff resistance, but Zelenskyy-as-leader has changed the whole dynamic, both inside and outside Ukraine.
One of Putin's greatest mistakes was creating the very role that Zelenskyy excels at, while ensuring that Zelenskyy would have a world wide audience.
Fuck it's already November so it's too late to crowdsource enough of these;
Using those requires fire,smoke, and soot discipline but when it comes to freezing to death or not being able to cook/boil water safely you have to make a choice.
Reminder: ATACMS were in use during this attack. 30 years ago.
Other fun facts about Desert Storm:
Talking heads and some former military leadership expected ~30k coalition casualties. Air power was not expected to be as dominant as it was.
~500 HARMs were fired in the first day with about half of that happening in the opening hours of the invasion.
The US and other coalition forces had stocked munitions nearby to Iraq prior to the invasion (as sane countries do). When they finally did invade they had 48,000 tons of munitions all inspected and deemed "combat-ready". Russia didn't even have water or gas.
85,000 tons of bombs were eventually used but <8,000 tons were PGM's. Despite that the PGM's accounted for 75% of true target hits. That's why NATO and the US care a lot about PGM's, something Russia never got the memo on.
Senior Iraqi officers declared coalition air supremacy by day 6. Coalition leadership did not claim supremacy until day 11. 8 months into Ukraine Russian air forces are afraid to fly above the treeline.
B2 bombers took off from Louisiana, flew straight through to Iraq, dropped their payload, and flew straight home. Never stopping.

Most modern TVs have HDMI input, and laptops have HDMI output, so that's an easy one - you just connect lappy and use Windows screen settings to extend or duplicate display. If you've got a router - it will provide Wi-Fi. Wireless mouse/keyboard combo work over radio dongle, so the person can be away from the laptop which will have to stay close to the TV. When everything it set up - the person just opens browser and googles something like "Watch Game of Thrones online" in their native language, getting lots of streaming websites. Or "Watch Ukrainian channels", here's what I got from the first link. In Ukraine, services like Netflix are not really popular as we can't usually afford subscriptions, thus we have lots of websites streaming shows and channels. And what comes to the laptop itself - almost anything will do really. Like this little thing - it's meant for light usage like browsing and movies, and any modern GPU has dedicated video decoding hardware built-it, so it should play videos and streams perfectly, except I'd personally go with at least 8GB of RAM so the person have better experience with lots of browser tabs.
I hope it answers your question.
A generator may be useful for a lot of things, but not running electric space heaters. That’s horribly inefficient. Is diesel or kerosene available?

Hi. Just want to suggest to you to maybe add this type of solar charger to your list.
​
I bought one after our big power outage and it works great to charge phones. I think it can charge 4 USB devices at once or something.
Pre-invasion, Russia was considered to be a "near peer" to the US in some ways. Definitely not "a peer", but as close as you were going to get to the military power of the US.
Clearly this was not the case.
However, this also wasn't the first time the US has made this mistake.
(I really really need to make a macro for this)
In the 1980s, there was a book written titled "The Myth of Soviet Military Supremacy" that laid out quite readily a extensive volume of data showing that the USSR was much better at appearing formidable than actually being formidable.
It was debated quite a bit at the time whether the author was at best naive and at worst entirely wrong with regards to his interpretation of the data. After the USSR dissolved, it became plain that he was, by and large, right on the money.
And here we are again. History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme.
I love this, I don't knit, but I just ordered some merino wool socks to be delivered to the US address.
Here's what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JLSCXJ7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AO4SG823BFL4G&psc=1
80% Merino wool, $23 for four pairs
None specified, just the size of the finished sock. I am using the sock pattern in The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, and making it 12 inches/30 cm to be a long boot sock.
I know one to avoid though: Don't use a tube sock pattern for soldiers. The Red Cross tried that in WWII and the fellas much preferred socks with real heels.
I use http://translate.google.com/ sooooo much these days! Never known when you need to read something in Klingon!
I've also used Google Translate for Andoid to translate the Chinese manual for a device I purchased. The labels and prompts on the device are all in Chinese too, but I've gotten used to using it now.

Nemiroff vodka is produced and bottled in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. There are cheaper prices for it in the UK (especially at a local off-license if you have one like Rehills near you which does all sorts of weird drinks), but when you factor in delivery Amazon normally come in cheaper and you're buying direct.
If you can find it locally, Khortytsa is better in my opinion, but it's super hard to get hold of in the UK these days.

We landed on Guadalcanal on August 7th, 1942. 3 Months prior was the fall of Corregidor. There wasnt a single US Carrier in the Solomons in October of 1942, due to the fact the largest naval battle since Jutland at Lunga point was taking place. The point of even attacking Guadalcanal was the Japanese Airfield being built would have cut off Australia, and strengthened the position for the IJA/SNLF that would have participated in the Kokoda Campaign taking place at the same time, which if Port Moresby fell, the solomons would have been a pin drop of an issue.

I bought this book I think it provides some historical perspective.
Buy yourself a Ukrainian cookbook. That's a good start. Just going to a grocery store and not knowing a bit about the dishes you want to make will be like finding your lost pair of socks in a dark room.
It's pricey but the Xtherm is one of the best cold weather pads you can buy..
As for a bag there are lots of good options. I'd recommend a bag with a synthetic filler. If use down it could get wet and lose its insulation value. I'd also recommend getting one rated for lower temp that what you need. Some bags yss the surval rating instead of the comfort rating. Maybe something like this One.
To add to your list.
These are official original woobies. Lightweight, but very warm, blankets that are super comfy, dry fast, and are good up to about 40 F/ 4.5 C
They pack up extremely small for what they are.
While I'm not sure so many Western analysts have come to the wrong conclusions that the author is challenging, he makes a good point that others have been making for a few years now:
> Second, the United States Air Force ought to pay attention. Instead of insisting on expensive and exquisite capabilities — such as next-generation fighter jets and stealth bombers to conduct deep strikes and pulsed operations — it ought to move more rapidly toward unmanned and autonomous systems and swarming tactics with thousands of small and cheap drones. Otherwise, the Air Force runs the serious risk of repeating Russia’s mistakes by holding tight to a force structure centered predominately on manned aircraft, creating a situation where the force is too costly to risk and too small to sustain losses during a prolonged war of attrition.
See Brose, Kill Chain for example.
They will need sleep systems (multi-layered sleeping bags with thermal liner and waterproof shell) for the cold/wet nights. You can maintain morale when its cold. You can maintain moral when its wet. It's hard to maintain when you're cold and wet.
I don't know the market enough to recommend a civilian sleep system but the one we were issued in the army (American) was one of my favorite pieces if equipment.

This book will help you understand the "why" a little better in overview. it does a very good job for painting the picture of what brought us to the point to allow this to happen
I spend a lot of time outdoors in similar weather to what Ukraine gets in the winter. Hand warmers like these are plenty compact enough to slide two or three packs in a pair of socks. They make foot and body warmers too. They could be genuinely life saving or prevent frostbite for people on watch over the winter. I know they’re a huge morale boots for me when I have to be out in snow storms checking fences and stuff.
UFO is the name of a brand, It’s an electric infrared heater usually mounted on a wall. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/UFO-Optional-Thermostat-1500-Watt-Efficient/dp/B0043CPA5G/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=56792940635&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq7_0mPyz-gIV88mUCR0oMwDrEAAYAiAAEgJGhfD_BwE&hvadid=617070337606&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9014971&hvne...
Now to fundraise for the most important part of of this new plan.
Google translate app has a conversation mode where you can speak and it will translate. You just click on the "English" microphone and say what you need to say, and it will voice it in the other language for him to hear. Then he can press the "Ukrainian" microphone and do the same. Very easy to use and it is free!
If you've never seen these before, you shake them up, and it causes a chemical reaction in the pouch that produces heat. Putting one in each boot keeps your feet toasty warm.
Skinbalm based on fat. The swedish army has its own version.
Why?
Because soldiering= being outside basically all the time. And being outside 24/7 at freezing temps will make your skin especially lips and around the nose dry out. It can go so far that you actually bleed and hurt when you breathe. It sucks- and unhappy freezing soldiers who cant even breathe without hurting wont be fighting at their top.
The one in the link is pricy though. But its good and its edible as well- can be used to fry food in you lack cooking oil/ fat. If you substitute it for another brand go for one WITHOUT water as an ingredient. Stuff with water will just make it worse.
If you have access to Google Pixel phone it supports both Ukrainian and Russian to English interpreter mode. For example, on my Pixel 6 Pro I say "Ok Google. Ukrainian interpreter." to start interpreter mode then can speak English to translate to Ukrainian audio and text and, vice versa, play Ukrainian audio to translate to English audio and text. You can get a Pixel 6a for $400.
>Thermals are the most important
while you're on that topic, how are they doing for socks? i was thinking maybe they could use something like this:
Here's a link to amazon:
Or if you want to have a free version / not support Amazon, here' a link to a website that let's you download all kind of books for free:
>Your ideas are not supported by any historian.
>That has absolutely nothing to do with not having enough food.

I've joked before about how the ignorant Russian soldiers don't know what an indoor toilet is but here is a quote from a truly superb book I'm reading at present, Bloodlands - Europe between Hitler & Stalin. (can't RECOMMEND it highly enough!)
When Germany & Russia secretly agreed to 'share' Poland - in Russia's portion, they brought in Russian communist party persons to take charge of this area:
>"The Soviet Citizens who now ruled Eastern Poland were falling off bicycles, eating toothpaste, using toilets as sinks, wearing multiple watches, or bras as earmuffs , or lingerie as evening gowns."
Thank you for the compliments,. I do not wish to hijack this subreddit to respond to Parker and Stone, but the version of history they put forward is, . . . off. Even accounting for the artistic license of a cartoon, it really gives the wrong impression of what happened. The best historical account and description of what happened is found in the book The Lost 116 Pages
The historian/author named Don Bradley was born into the church and was a very enthusiastic student of church history when he was a teen and then a young adult and missionary. After coming across issues (like those mentioned in the South Park episode) he sent a letter to the Church asking to be removed from membership, and for a while spent time trolling members of the Church on line.
Even though he had left the church, as a historian familiar with the Church's archives, he was hired to conduct primary research into historical documents related to Polygamy, and continued to study these lost pages of scripture. From what he learned, Bradley decided to return to the church. Here is a 30 minute podcast interview with him about that. There is a 4 hour long podcast where he gets into a lot of details, but that is a big ask.
In any case, my point is that the people who are most familiar with the actual story, remain members of the church, and even some who are disaffected return. Please do not rely on cartoons for your history. Their primary intent is to make you laugh, not inform your world view.
Read Anne Applebaum's incredible book [Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine](https://www.amazon.com/Red-Famine-Stalins-War-Ukraine/dp/0804170886/] where I'm sure you'll be convinced it was genocide.
The Soviet Union and then Russia has for many decades, have sought to diminish or eliminate the Ukrainian culture and people. The Holodomor was just another instance. This is one of the best books I've ever read, and probably should be read twice as it's very detailed.
That sounds interesting, hopefully my local library has it. It’s 25$ on eBay and I just spent 25$ on eBay buying Blood Meridian and River of Darkness which is actually about the Spanish expedition down the Amazon River I mentioned in another comment that led to the Amazon getting its name after a tribe of warrior women.

Get a cookbook.
I use this one which is quite good.
