I am meeting a lot of Ukrainians in NYC and mostly all of them say they are Russian. Only after chatting with them for some time you will actually hear that they are really from Ukraine.

i used a translater, cuz i dont speak english well and i dont wanna say something incorrect. so yeah. :^) it seems to me, all because of the phrase "laughter for no reason is a sign of a fool". Like, in ukrainian and russian schools, students sometimes break the rules and talk in class or laugh. And my teacher used to say that phrase. It looked something like this: one of the students: * laughs because of a joke that a classmate quietly told him * teacher: what's so funny? student: nothing teacher: laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool. And, perhaps, because of that phrase in Ukraine / Russia, a smile may seem strange and generally think that you are strange. It is really sad if that is so. Purely my guess. I don’t know actually why, even though I am a ukrainian. yes........... we are sadly bitches T-T

Sorry, I appreciate your work, and as a foreigner, you might get a completely different perspective, but most of the points in the video are complete nonsense. BTW I'm Ukrainian and I live in Kyiv. 1. "The border" - there is no "military" checkpoints except in the east region between Donbas and the rest of Ukraine and a very narrow region in the south between Crimea and mainland Ukraine. You are completely safe to cross the border by bus or train even between Russia and Ukraine (e.g. getting from Belgorod to Kharkiv or to Sumy). I'm not even mentioning the border between Ukraine and EU countries. There indeed might be congestions if you travel by car on the Poland-Ukraine border because a lot of people travel between these countries, but it is in no way unsafe or "military" like. 2. Google Maps is actually very popular. Most (60-80%) of the population actually use Waze to navigate around cities, which is affiliated with google maps. I'm really wondering how you ended up with this view that google maps sucks in Ukraine. 3. The hand gesture you've described is actually much less rude than a middle finger gesture. This closed fist with a thumb in between middle and pointer finger is mostly used by children and is kind of an "ironic" and childish gesture when you wanna joke with your friend or acquaintance. It is incomparable with the middle finger gesture. The middle finger is extremely rude and is like swearing in public. You CAN get punched in the face for the middle finger gesture, but you NEVER would for the closed fist with a thumb. The closed fist with a thumb would NOT even attract the attention of the most conservative babushkas. 4. True. Uber, Bolt, Uklon, Ontaxi are the best apps to use and you better of using apps than finding a taxi on the street. 5. I cannot comment as I'm Ukrainian myself and I look like a local. 6. Completely true 7. Both true and not true depending on whom you're trying to talk to. If you talk to stranger who is 40+ years old in English you will probably get a weird look upon yourself. This might create an atmosphere of unfriendliness. It's because most of the older population does not understand English. You better of asking younger people who are likely to know English. I'm sure you would not have any problems or any kind of awkwardness. So this is not a "cultural" problem, it's a problem related to knowledge of English.

Don't leave empty liquor bottles on the table as soon as the bottle is finished; put the bottle on the floor instead, or just remove it altogether :) Also, be prepared that men shake hands every day two times: when you enter the office and when you leave the office (same with men you are familiar with if you meet them in the street). About number 7: that's exactly right. People won't smile if there is no reason for that (unlike in the West, where putting a smile is always a normal way to start a conversation). If someone doesn't put a smile on his/her face when talking to you for the first time, it doesn't mean that he/she dislikes you; it just means that he/she doesn't have any idea what sort of person you are and how to react on you. Be friendly, but not over-friendly from the start; just be who you are.

The bottle thing is kind of true, but is more of a superstition. Its like walking under ladder or crossing black cat's path. And also a bad manners for some degree, like putting your ellbows on a table. Think of it like putting an empty plate into a fridge. You feel? It just kinda feels like it doesnt belongs there. Maybe it is some kind of mentality, but it just feels wrong-ish to leave an empty bottle on a table on some levels. Also a superstition-ish habit - do not pour liquids in a cup without bottom of it covered. Meaning you should pour only when a cup is on a table, staying still. And if you are holding a cup "in air", at least use ur finger to touch the bottom of a cup, or "your luck will be poured out" or something like that. Its like handshakes - its just a good manners and expected, we do not overthink it, we just know and do it (like, for example, japanese people use both hands when giving you anything. Its just natural thing for them to do).

Про очевидные вещи типа голодомора, насаждения языка/уничтожения культуры(попытка стереть культурное самосознание), крыма донбаса и иже с ними я говорить не буду. Но даже такие вещи, как собственные поведение россиян в отношении к своей стране и согражданам (живя в условиях автократии в лучшем случае не делать ничего чтобы избавиться от руководства страны) влияют на нас. У русских сми контролируются властью - но смеются над нами за "гейропство" и смешные телешоу по стб. У русских людей сажают в тюрьмы за попытки помочь людям за свой счет и выписывают штрафы инвалидам за нарушение карантина - но назад в развитии тянут нас, когда мы пытаемся избавиться при помощи силы духа, единства, говна и палок, от действующего "легитимного" под пулями от своих же соотечественников. У русских проблемы - они находят утешение в том, что у нас ещё хуже. И когда у нас перестаёт быть хуже, когда мы вырываемся из порочного круга и идём к развитию - "братья" показывают нам голодомор, крымнаш, ихтамнетов и прочее. Понятно что и среди тех и тех есть как говняные люди так и отличные. Но даже среднячки не особо сейчас приятны украинцам лишь потому, что они ничего не делают чтобы поменять что-то в своей стране, а пока россией правят не русские а путин - украинцам предоставлено очень мало поводов для любви к россиянам - гражданам путинстана, лидер которого любит невзначай попугать "танками, которые за неделю до Киева доберутся".

The hand gesture you describe is more of what kids do. It's basically a mocking gesture like sticking out your tong. Some kids also make it when they believe that someone is giving a "bad eye" or sending a negative energy, so they use it to protect themselves from bad influence. It's not nice, but it's definitely not as bad as showing someone a middle finger.

Ok, I saw some comments with discussion of cultural similarities of Ukraine and Russia so let's make it clear. Ukrainian and russian cultures/languages/etc shouldn't be considered as similar because Ukraine got through centuries of russian oppression and currently in a state of war with Russia. Russian oppression influenced badly on culture, especially on language(most of ukrainians speak russian) and slowed down country development a lot. Moreover some of ukrainian history and cultural values were "stolen" as well as some territorial units. Currently russian authorities are doing some unbelievable propaganda which misleads lots of people, so u can hear or read such bullshit as a "civil war on the East of Ukraine" and "Crimea went back to Russia by referendum not rigged". As you can see now, imperial ambitions are kind of a part of russian culture, what is crucial because ukrainian people never had such a "tradition".

Thanks for your video. But I have some remarks. About "Don't trust Google Maps". The problem with streets' names is not in some weird customs. That's just due to decommunization - some years ago a lot of streets had another names. People, especially old ones, got used to old commie-style names and sometimes even don't know that the street you're looking for has been renamed three years ago. You ask them for the way to Mazepa street - they don't know because they think it's the Karl Marx street. That's it. About the "Hand gestures" - LOL. The gesture you described (a fig sign) is pretty old-style and nobody think it's the most vulgar. You may think it's a lightweight childish form of the middle finger gesture (which IS the worst gesture, btw).

I did enjoy the drive to Koblevo but was glad my friend there got me through those streets. True about the Ukraine / Russian languages, but from my friend said, many Ukrainians understand Russian, using Google translate does help in the Russian to Eng mode for verbal, but depends on where you go, many written items you may need to switch between Russian and Ukrainian in order to read signs and food labels.

You are right abut Belarusian for sure. I had a friend that was working over here in my town for the summer that was Belarusian and she was always talking about her long term boyfriend and just seemed like a very sweet girl in general. She always acted very naive and innocent and seemed more like a 14 year old than a person in their 20's. After she left boy was I floored to be hearing the stories about her sleeping around, even with a married man! It shocked me and certainly taught me people can have many sides to them that they show different people.

I was in Ukraine ten times so far and I had never any problems when talking with my Ukrainian friends about politics. It's like any other topic and it's even interesting to watch that some of my friends support the former president Poroshenko while another the current president Zelensky. Speaking about borders, it could be a kind of small adventure to spend three to eight hours there at night. Get out of the bus, get in, get out, get in... together with your luggage. But if you do what you're requested to do, you should not experience any major problems. You can only expect lack of sleep if spending there time at night. Do not complain about nonsenses like the long waiting time and you will be fine. I have to point out that I crossed only Ukrainian - EU borders several times. Never Russian or checkpoints to the occupied areas and I discourage anyone from doing so. Flying is indeed much more comfortable. And about Google Maps, I use them from the very beginning to find which mashrut (local minibus) I need to use and where to go and again, I had never any problems with that. Works only in Kyiv and big cities. In the countryside, you better ask a local citizen as bus stops are usually not marked at all, neither a timetable displayed anywhere. And about smiling, I do not expect people to smile if there is not a reason. But that's mainly because it's the same in our Czech culture. :)

Very good & informative video on the Ukraine.

Several years ago, I went to Ukraine with a friend of mine. (She wanted to visit the places where she grew up and her father's grave.) Even though she spoke both Ukrainian and Russian, there were still problems because they had changed the names of all the streets since leaving the USSR. The infrastructure was in HORRIBLE condition. There were even large potholes in the airport runway in Odessa. The roads out into the hinterlands were ABYSMAL. (I ended up paying $500 to rebuild the suspension of the car that drove us to Gaysin (AKA Haisyn)). As I understand it, the infrastructure has gotten worse since then. The people were nice and the food was good. Odessa is a beautiful city -- at least in parts. The prices were reasonable. Just don't expect to go too far outside of the main cities.

Another thing not to do (2022) Don't go when Russia invades. Note: it's a joke

Tbh some of these things are exaggerated. Like that gesture thing - dude, it's just laughable. You're confusing people.

The thing with Google maps is a temporary issue. Many street names have recently changed as a result of legislation no longer permitting the glorification of Soviet leaders or events. Often Google is ahead of the locals, who haven’t caught up or don’t remember the new street names. But in some cases Google may be slightly behind.

Yes, you actually forgot a few of the most important: don't ever blow your nose in public, in front of anyone. This is considered as rude as farting or burping, or puking. They will be outraged! I often get a cold anytime I go to Ukraine, but learned to always blow my nose privately. Remember that. Entering someone's house, you are expected to take off your shoes immediately and use slippers or home-only shoes. Take a pair with you. And the more to the west you go, like Lviv, the more you must avoid speaking Russian and use pure Ukrainian. They really don't like it, there. Get used to salute or thank in Ukrainian, like "dyakuyu" instead of "spassiba"; hearing it from a foreigner, they will be delighted!

How can tourists be expected to not blow their nose or burp in public. I guess if it was a really loud burp, that would be annoying anywhere in the world. But if it’s a quiet burp, isn’t that ok? And with blowing their nose, how do Ukrainian people not blow their noses in public? Don’t Ukrainian people sneeze? What do they do if they sneeze in public? Do they let snot hang out of their noses until they can find a place away from people to blow their nose?

I have written the comment before watching the vid 😅

My friend in Kyiv who hails from L’viv may disagree with some of this.But some research wherever you go is always essential.

I am an American and have lived in Ukraine for 8 years. If an American or anyone just visits Ukraine and thinks they know the do's and don'ts of Ukraine you are sadly mistaken. Tourists should never listen to other tourists for advice on proper behavior. Ukraine is about as safe as any other place in the World. The main thing is that the Country and it's people suffer from horrific corruption and poor living standards. Tourists in countries such as this one should always be aware of their surroundings. If you go looking for trouble I guarantee you will find it...anywhere! If you don't know the language in any country then you may have problems with communication. You should learn some Ukrainian or even Russian. Just a little bit will go a long way. I speak Russian and only Russian and have no problems. I saw a video or maybe it was this one where you were warned to never under any circumstance make a fist with your thumb between your index and next finger and show it to someone. True it is vulgar to them but what the hell kind of advice is that? If you plan on visiting a foreign country and be vulgar then you deserve what you get and should have stayed home. I am writing this because it just blows me away the advice people give.

Kemal Çelikkol Heres a little history for you that might help. A majority of the casualties in the holodomor occurred in the east. When Stalin starved them to death, they settled citizens from Russia to live in their homes. In WW2, Stalin deported the Crimean tatars and moved Russian citizens as well. Ukraine has declared independence a couple of times as a result of constantly trying to separate itself from russian imperialism. Then there were ukrainian revolutionaries like Bandera and shukhevych and their armies who wanted to preserve and protect A free and democratic ukraine. This is years of russian ethnic cleansing. And to this day, we still suffer from those horrific acts. There’s a difference between multiculturalism and aggressive brutal imperialism.

Remember, no russian

TRAINS vs. PLANES Let's compare European train travel to air travel: Unlike airports, train stations are in the center of town, close to where people live and work. A plane takes 1.5 hours for all the passengers to board, all filing through one tiny door loaded with luggage. On trains, passengers board thru about 40 doors simultaneously, 2 doors per wagon. So trains don't have to delay everyone 1.5 hours... they stop only a couple minutes at a station. Train seats are much bigger than airline seats, and there is much more legroom. You can get up and walk around and stretch your legs. Aisles are wide on a train, and there are no seats right in front of you blocking you from getting easily to the aisle without disturbing others. Airline seats recline only 1", making sleep impossible or uncomfortable. The most popular train trips in Europe, as they used to be in the US, are those that depart a major city around 10pm and arrive in another major city around 8 a.m. Called Schalfwagons in German and Spalniy Wagons in Russian, these sleeper wagons have several compartments with 3 seats facing 3 seats during the day, & 2 seats facing 2 seats, converting to 4 bunk beds at night. So instead of sitting up as you are on a plane or driving a car, you sleep in a real bed with sheets & blanket, rocked to sleep by the gentle rolling of the train. So much for trains being "time consuming." You see so much from the huge train windows. From the tiny plane windows you see only cloud tops. You really can't see anything of the natural beauy, towns, & cities of Norway or Croatia from 30,000 ft. Trains have dining cars where real food is cooked and served to you at real tables with white linen. Those that don't have dining cars have a bar car that also serves snacks & some hot foods. On a plane one has only the person next to him to talk to. On a train, one has 5 other people to talk to, plus the people you can meet in the bar car, and those standing at aisle windows looking out, stretching their legs. Some of the most interesting people can be met on a train. It's nice to have your own little compartment, 3 people facing 3 people, a large window, a folding out table. Night wagons have 4 seats replaced by 4 bunk beds at night, and a door that locks at night to keep out the sneak thieves! I’ve traveled many times by overnight train in a 2nd class sleeper car. The compartments have always been 4-person, 2 bunk beds on either side. There is always plenty of room in the middle, for standing or for legroom while sitting before the 4 bunk beds are pulled down from the walls. (Day wagon compartments have 6 seats, 3 facing 3 seats, and no beds.) It is all very comfortable. I have never had any problems or complaints about the many strangers I shared an overnight compartment with. Some of them were quite sociable, quite interesting people. It’s a great way for a traveler to learn about a geographic area; many locals are proud to tell you all about their cities. That way you’ll know something about a place before you arrive, maybe some very good advice. Inside information, as they say! Lots of people end up having very fun parties in their compartments. On the fold-down table appear sausages, cheese, boiled eggs, dark bread, local dark beer, dried fish… The conductor sells beer, and the snack car/bar sells other foods, but most Ukrainians bring food from home. Younger partiers sometimes make the mistake of keeping the party going all night, and arrive in Kiev, Warsaw, or Prague the next morning without any sleep. Not good! Very dried, salted fish is popular in Europe. Try it! You are travelling to Europe not just to see things but to meet the people. Train compartments with 3 people facing 3 people (day) or 2 facing 2 (night) is the best way to meet people. It's very social seating. There is what they call “captive audience” in a train compartment. Also captive speaker. Neither can go anywhere, they are there for some hours. You won’t get this good an opportunity to meet the local people in a cafe, a shop, or a hotel. VIP - Make sure you don’t buy 1st class train tickets on the sleeper wagon. These can be isolation chambers, with only one person or one double bed per compartment. Also they're very expensive. Many a traveler doesn’t know to ask for "a comparatment" (day) or "a sleeper wagon" (night), and they and get stuck sitting all night in a wagon with airplane style seating, all the seats facing forward. Not only is it boring, but the seats only recline one inch, so no sleep. Even if the train trip is during the day, choose compartment seating. Night compartments have 2 seats facing 2 seats, becoming 2 bunk beds facing 2 bunk beds at night. Day compartments have 3 seats facing 3 seats, and no beds. And don’t forget the boiled eggs! Some say "But planes are faster!" Have they considered all the delays in plane travel, that train travel doesn't have? For a plane you have to add to your trip time the 1 to 3 hours it takes you to drive far out of your city, or to the next city, to an airport. You are also required to arrive at the airport 2 hours before departure. (Trains have none of these delays ↑↓ ) You wait in a long security line, and wait in the boarding area until the flight is called. Then you wait in the long line of passengers all loaded with luggage, who are very slowly boarding thru a single narrow door & proceeding down a narrow aisle. Since plane aisles have no passing room, everyone waits for the persons in front of them to wedge their overstuffed carry-ons into the tiny overhead bins. This makes the line very slow. Once everyone is finally seated, you sit waiting another 30 minutes before the wheels begin to move. Why, I don't know, but it's always so. You taxi a long way at a snail's pace, and stop again to await your turn to take off. You take off but don't head in the direction of your destination city, but instead head out to sea to gain great altitude, because low flying jets' noise disturbs people. How "fast" is flying then? Even if flying were faster than the train, is all the discomfort worth it? Are you really in such a hurry that you would forgo the many advantages of train travel? (See the posting right above this one.) What's the rush? In Europe, trains are constantly departing in all directions, bound for... everywhere! You simply don't need a car.

Wow
