this is straight byzantine shit tho
and it's all ultimately arguing about the fencelines between one ruling class's cash crop and another, isn't it?
you slavs are quite funny with how elaborate and dramatic you make it all sound, it's quite entertaining, but really, it's just ruling class having a tiff, and everything else is just part of their way of making you think it's something much more important than a bunch of plutocrats disagreeing

I don't think this is some special trait of Slavs, it's more characteristic of old countries. Also, we must not forget that Kiev is essentially the cradle of Russian culture, naturally, this argument is easy to use
well, if by cradle you mean the history related to Catherine and Odessa then i guess so
but in general i think this over-thinking is not actually productive
I’m not Slav
neither am i but my father's family name suggests that 4 or 5 generations back i have russian or ukrainian ancestry (my family name literally is the russian word for a broom, and the dutch were extremely humorous with their choices of names when the king decreed they all had to have family names... i met a dude whose name literally means "deep pants" and "broom" as my family's name is equally ironic i think
you read like a typical yugoslav to me tho, reading back over your reply in this thread... of course it could just be that you have spent a lot of time living in those parts but my smell says yugoslavia
