My mother's father was born near Kyiv. I have been in a real funk since the invasion commenced, although I fully expected that Putin hadn't massed nearly 200,000 just for show. A minor correction you may want to make - Volodymyr Groysman ceased to be prime minister in 2020, but there are two or three other Jewish Ukrainians in key governmental positions.
I will correct it, thanks! I think it is hitting us unexpectedly hard and even though I don't want to make it about me me me, it is part of our story too. Xoxoxox m
Exquisite, impassioned writing, Marlena, that covers so much ground. Brava ! Straight from the heart. How proud your grandfather would be of you ! And of course, I yearn now for a proper Ukrainian pickle. XXX
Gorgeous ( is that the right word) writing. So many family mysteries and tales we all have, truly a never-ending story. And thank you, too, Marlene, for the pickling recipes!
