Living Legend
Several years ago my son was on a joint military exercise in Ukraine. My wife and I were at his home in northern Italy and the plan was for me to take a train from there to Mukachevo and he from Kiev to meet me there, explore the town and hopefully find out more about my grandmother's family. She used to write to a sister there and we had an address. My mother had some of the letters and although she spoke a number of different "Russian compliant" Slavic languages, she could not read the Cyrillic. She took them to the priest at the Orthodox church who read them to her. I think it was Orthodox. It could have been Eastern Rite.
He was not able to get away though but when he returned to Italy he told me of the stunningly beautiful ladies that they saw in Kiev.
