Anyway, we have used Kiev in English for years, and I now learn i am a Bad Putin feon if i carry on...seriously do you use Pekin,Peking, Beijing or BJUkrainians are Eastern slavs so are Russians and Belrussians, Polish Czech and slovak are Western slavs, the rest are southern Bulgaria former Yugoslavia
Unless you are a Gypsie or Jew which have minorities in Slav countries you are a Slav, not talking about some small cases of somebody that had Italian, German etc parents.
Also there is Muslim slavs, they are slavs but have Muslim faith not the same as Jews who are ethnically Jewish in slavic countries. Ofcourse there would be some but mainly not
As the folk tale that gets told to children goes, there were 3 brothers one stayed, one went west and one went east. Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia.
In a simplified way all slavs are thought to come from the same people and the tribes went east west and south in Europe, so Ukrainians are Ukranians, Russians are Russians, Serbs are Serbs but all from the Slavic language family and dna have similar markers

You can buy great
"I love Bj "caps there btw.?
In my opinion, this is pedantic and probably used to confuse people who have associated Kiev with Russian leaders of USSR for the last century.
As our narrative is now to say it is completely different.
Who really cares really?
This one?Can somebody appraise me as to where the PMGOLD thread is please?
And they have not even worked out that Ukrainians don't use our Latin (Roman) alphabet, so their pronunciations are going to be different using Cyrillic sounds.I seem to have wandered in to a UAP Weight Watchers/ Eastern European History/Linguistics discussion.
For the village “Rusky Tyshky” you wrote “Rusky Tushky” (Руські Тушки), which means “Russian corpses”.And they have not even worked out that Ukrainians don't use our Latin (Roman) alphabet, so their pronunciations are going to be different using Cyrillic sounds.
Not necessarily.Oh and on subject. , Overnight, Spot gold -0.7% to $US1809.76/oz and AUD +1.1% to 69.30 US cents
So I guess PMGOLD will drop on Monday.
(That's in Arabic numerals, if someone needs it in Roman numerals, I could have a go. Pretty sure Cyril took the prevailing numbering system with him)
There was a time when certain events were a reasonable portend of POGs direction.Not necessarily.
On Monday, Gold starts trading at 9am, AEST Queensland Time, 00:00 GMT , if I'm not mistaken, in Sydney.
An hour earlier on New York Comex, Sunday evening ET, although I've never seen a huge change there of a Monday morning our time.
PMGOLD starts a smidgen after 10.15 am, usually.
I am told the Southern "Teal" states are back on Queensland time, so it should be the same there. Don't ask me about Broken Hill, NT, WA nor SA. Nor Tasmania. I'd guess Tassie is the same as Danstan so that the ferry doesn't get confused.
So there will be an hour or maybe over that of gold trading before PMGOLD leaves the starting gate. The latter usually follows to the cent POG in $AUD divided by 100 moving in tandem.
Many a slip twixt cup and lip can occur.
I'm told Luna went from $1 to 4c in less time.
And yes, POG may fall, although it may rise, before PMGOLD trades.
