I didn't intend for that at all, it was just to clarify as to what they did in East Germany when they moved there, because obviously it'd be p retarded to go from being a car mechanic in Ukraine to being one in East Germany, it'd seem p fuckin' sus was what I was thinking and provided more of an incentive for the char to go from one country to the other and explain why they were in Germany and how the USSR allowed them to move from A to B. Hence why I put that he spent about 5~ years learning the language.What I am saying no to is that I think having someone be a Russian tutor simply because they can teach everyone Russian and ruin that language barrier element on the server is a bit cheap.

I'd watched some videos on the differences in the language when making the character, they didn't say there was a real fundamental difference and that it was pretty easy to understand one-another when talking natively from Russian to Ukranian, and as you said, both languages held some weight. It's pretty obvious that a Ukranian on the border with Russia would probably learn Russian while in school, as you said yourself you did, and you're not even under the USSR anymore, so to say they wouldn't have while under the USSR is ludicrous at best.on surface level it might seem like that and while the languages are similar enough for them to be mutually-understandable on the most basic level calling them absolutely the same is like saying all scandispeak is the same because they all go mjorgen bjorgen vorgen.
my primary language is russian and secondary one is ukro, i studied both quite a lot in school and consider myself fluent in both languages so i can assure you that they are different enough.
as always, husky can go fuck emselves.
[doublepost=1551990462][/doublepost]not to mention that both languages hold quite a bit of cultural implications / significance in terms of the various regions of ukraine, especially in such an unstable alternate universe where ukrainian nationalism probably remained quite strong well into the 90s thanks to the 80s red expansion.
