Russian peasants are worn-out folks with emaciated faces, uncombed hair dressed in zipuns full of holes and lapti; Ukrainians are tall, healthy, strong, and dressed in clean, new clothes, – Ivan Bunin in 1898

Wtf website is that? No contact or about info just repeated menu items.

I’m always suspect of poorly fleshed out websites. Regardless from which side of whom the website at that moment seems to be in support of – too many times these kinds of websites reveal their true colours once they’ve established themselves as “legitimate” start posting dis/mis information.

What is even the point of this post?
30 years later, Ukraine was the victim of Stalin’s famine which killed up to 1M. I am sure starving humans have no energy to brush their hair. Russians or Ukrainians – still need food and water, blood is still red.

There are similar photos from that time showing settlers in the American west. Or a few decades later from the Great Depression.
