All Hillbillies are Americans, but not all Americans are Hillbillies.So, then, Russians are Ukrainians.
Why not? My mom was Ukrainian and she always said that Ukrainians are kind of Russians.Do you think they can stop resenting it?
Actually, some lines of Ukrainian propaganda (Ukro-Nazi Type III, to be specific) declare that only Ukrainians are true Russians, while "Moscowites" are all Finns, Hungarians, Mongols and Buryats. Stupid, of course, as the most of poorly made propaganda. You know, like to say that "Only Rednecks are True Americans, and all those Yankees and Washingtoners are all Italians and Chinamen".
