    AstroRocket,

    I was just about to say the same thing. I was reading another thread where the topic asked for Doc Rocket to come and post new info on any trades. The next-to-last post in the thread they were talking about Winston Churchill originally being a liberal and then a Conservative. The killer is that there was only about 13 posts in the thread at the time. lol! [​IMG]

    Despite a valiant attempt by Lil Francis to return this thread to the realm of respectability, we return once again to irrelevant babble. [​IMG]

    Then again, I'm the one that started this nonsense off [​IMG]

    Russian is probably the domiant language in the Ukraine because of the decades of Soviet rule. Ukrainian as a Russian dialect? Slavic roots, but not a Russian dialect.

    Well I know ,because I am part Ukrainian and Russian, that there is a difference between the language the people of Ukraine speak and that of the Russians. You are right though, the Soviet Rule did have an effect on the language.

    I think the people there predominantly speak Ukranian. However, there is an ethnic Russian population (maybe a quarter or so of the population??? not sure) who I believe still speak Russian .
