r/Ukrainian

Did you know varenyky (aka Ukrainian dumplings) have roots tracing back to ancient China and Turkey, evolving into a Slavic staple by the 13th century? 🥟

- First mentioned in Ukrainian texts like the 16th-century "Palia Istoricheskaia."
- Named for "boiled" (from Slavic "varenyy"), symbolizing fertility with their moon-like shape.
- Loved by Gogol, who wrote of giant ones the size of hats!

Fun Facts
- Top fillings: potato & onions, cherries, or cottage cheese (potatoes added post-1700s).
- Monuments exist in Ukraine (Cherkasy's 3-story giant) & Canada (8m tall).
- Bill Clinton called cherry varenyky his fave after visiting Ukraine.

Served with sour cream & herbs—pure comfort food! Who's cooking some? 🇺🇦

Hello!

I donate money to Ukraine every month and they send over a postcard, usually in English so I have no clue what it says.

Thank you for the help 😊

Hello friends from the Baltics, I am a researcher from Romania and I am currently writing a thesis on Post-Communist Identity, Society & Climate Change.

For this multidisciplinary paper, I have made a survey to actually ask people from Estonia, Poland and Ukraine how do they feel about their country's post-communist identity, and if they can sense any tie this may have to its current climate change mitigation effort. Even if you are not from one of these countries, your perspective is valuable as well.

The survey takes 3 minutes to complete, it is very easy to navigate and open-ended questions are completely optional. Every answer is anonymous, I do not gather any type of data other than the answers themselves.

Please let me know if this is upsetting, my intention is to only research a subject that has affected my country as well, I just want to see how other people relate to this issue. If you have any more questions or any feedback I will be happy to receive them.

https://forms.gle/hgc8wafpssWzbPo98 - For more accessibility, as the survey is in English, you can translate its contents with pretty high accuracy on any browser.

FYI i did this lesson before but accidentally in print so I had to rewrite it after getting better at print and learning a bit of cursive. Honestly the thing I care about most right now is how the cursive looks, what do you'll think? (Also sorry for writing in Polish sometimes)

Here is something I just wrote. Not the prettiest, as it has been 50+ years since I wrote in cursive (my Latin cursive is as bad). How does this look to Ukrainian eyes?

Hey r/SideProject,

I've been working on Wearly for the past month. It’s an AI Chrome extension that lets you virtually try on clothes from any online store.

The problem: I kept buying clothes online that looked nothing like expected. Returns are annoying. So I built something.

How it works:

1. Upload your photo
2. Browse any online store
3. Right-click any clothing image
4. See how it looks on you instantly

Also gives you:
- AI style rating due to your type
- Size recommendation
- Outfit feedback

Built and shipped solo 🛠️

Free tier available. Would love to hear feedback - what works, what doesn't, what's missing.

I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments!

Specifically, the part mentioning Богдан Дацьківський.

What kind of name is Дацьківський anyway? Google isn't very helpful, ridni.org pretty much says there are only 2 people in all of Ukraine with this name, and none live anywhere near Kydantsi.

Is Дацьківський a Rusyn name? Most variations I pull up like "Дацківський" and "Дацьковський and дацковський"say it's Jewish, but there doesn't seem to be a Jewish community in Kydantsi, just Greek Catholic.

Also, there is someone in a YouTube video named Марко Дацківський talking about his family from Kydantsi and how the name is Дацьківський or Дацковський.

Also, my research revealed that there's still a family home for the Дацьківський family in Kydantsi. Which is odd because there's no official records. However, relatives of their's in the US talk about it.

The family in the US spelled their names, Dackowsky, Dackiwsky, and one instance of Datzkiwsky. All have the same relatives from Kydantsi, Ivan (John), Michael, and Anthony (born in 1914).

I'm very curious what the article says and to understand the meaning behind the name and why it sounds Jewish despite the family in the US being all Catholic.
