  • Going to major cities in Ukraine doesn't always give you the full picture of how life is for the average person and what lies beneath the surface. I decided to go to a mid range city in Western Ukraine called Chernivtsi to get a more inside look and chat with the locals about their opinion on things. I was born in Ukraine myself, but moved to Canada at the age of 5 and would only go for a weeks to visit every couple of years. Even though I think I have more insight than most people about what life is like there, I still have a lot to learn and a lot of the country left to explore.

    2 years ago I took my family to Ukraine. We walked across a bridge over a river that is the border with Romania. All the Romanians asked why we were wanting to visit Ukraine because it wasn't something they typically did themselves. There was a noticeable difference right away as Ukraine didn't seem as prosperous as Romania. But in a short time felt very comfortable there and had a great visit. Loved Lviv!

    Hi Alina, interesting video, thanks. I've been to Chernivtsi a couple of times. I think for the uninitiated, a little bit of historical background would have helped. Essentially, the city (Czernowitz) was built from scratch by the Austrians from the late 18th century and was an outpost of German (to a large extent German Jewish) culture up to the end of the first world war, with the easternmost German-speaking university in the country. No single ethnic group dominated, and everyone somehow had to get along, so it was in many ways a microcosm of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although many of the ethnic groups have disappeared or dwindled since then, so the city is now predominantly Ukrainian, it still has some of that central European atmosphere - and of course the old architecture is a permanent reminder of those times. So I don't know how typical it is of cities in western Ukraine - it's certainly feels different from places further east.

    I like that you ventured out into the rural areas and smaller cities. When I traveled in the military, I always ventured out away from the tourist areas, so that I could try to experience the true culture of a place. I enjoyed your video, especially the parts that you narrated. If you could add more narration and less script to read, that would make it even better. Having to read is a distraction from the video content. Of course I understand that it is necessary at times due to the language barrier of your viewers (myself included) when you are interviewing the citizens. Also if you could give a little short biographical description of the people just prior to interviewing them, that would lend more depth to the content. I really liked the background music in this video as well. It put me in a thoughtful, nostalgic mood, and very relaxed. I began remembering the various places that I have visited in the past. I have never been to Ukraine, however, and am very curious about it, especially now that there is so much going on there presently with the Russian invasion and all that goes with it. My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people, and I pray for them daily.

    Thank you Alina for providing an untouched version of realities in Ukraine by your well chosen words and image's. I think Ukrainians are wonderful people and like most colder climates the outside of buildings get really battered during the cold and wet months. But, as you said inside of the Ukrainian homes are wonderful and in my opinion as warm and hospitable as their hearts. I think if Ukraine can address the corruption a large part of issues will go away. Somehow the rule of law must stand up to the oligarchs whose selfish acts have devastating effect on the lives of millions.

Actually my grandmas sister managed to bring my parents here but has asked them if they wanted to go to Canada instead or rather stay in Germany. I wish they’ve decided to go to Canada back then. I think it’s a much better place to live. Anyway, thank you for the insights. I’ve always wanted to see the hometown of my family but never get to visit it! I will definitely do someday :) I appreciate it a lot that you’ve went there and made a video about the city.

    I visited Ukraine several times in the 80's while still under Russian control primarily to work on my Russian language skills. I revisited post Russia in 2000 while on leave. I really didn't feel much had changed other than the people seemed a bit happier but only a bit. I am American but have citizenship in Bulgaria as well. I own a home near Sophia that I remodeled in the early 90's and rented out. My tenants have never changed and we have a family relationship. They are wonderful people and when I visit I have a small guest house to stay in there. Someday I may move their perminately but for now I remain in the Rocky mountains. I am retired now with a pension that would provide a very comfortable there but I have no bills here other than a cellphone. One day perhaps I will go and just stay, the area of Europe is beautiful as well as the people. Thank you for the nice video tour of Ukraine.

While the Ukrainian language is similar to Russian they are distinctly different. That said Ukraine was a Russian state a long time so by learning Russian first you will find communication in all the former Russian states very good. Grammar is challenging but you'll catch on simply by thinking backwards and sideways. I know that sounds silly but you'll understand later. There is a very charming young lady with a TH-cam teaching Russian but I'm drawing a blank on her channel name, Russian Club or something along those lines. Use voice chat and watch Russian and Ukrainian movies, videos and online news and you'll be surprised how easily the language comes.

    So far I have only visited Ukraine twice in 2008 and it is really beautiful in spring and summer. I was in Kiev and Poltava and some villages and monasteries nearby and a garden park west of Kiev. They really put a lot of effort into flowers and gardens. In Kiev I went in taxis and in Poltava I had a rental car and taxis to get around. I don't know much Russian or Ukrainian, but luckily I was visiting friends from there. I have always wanted to return and visit more places especially in the western part of the country and Odessa.

    I am Romanian by origin and Canadian as I emigrated to Canada long time ago. Cernauti was of Romania before Stalin and Hitler messed Europe for 60 years +. I just discovered your channel Alina and I'm so proud of you portraying you origin country so nicely and humane. I want to do something as well to help people in these countries, there are so many beautiful women there that deserve a better life. Men ... they do wars, they feed a military system to stay in power then they get killed defending stupid political ambitions for the good of a few corrupted and villain ones. Of course in muddy times corruption take place, develops and keep feeding the system in a down spiral destroying more and more economy and lives, imagine something like a tornado only created by humans. Women and children deserve better chances in life, men too we're all in this together. I am really happy that you got your chance, respect for your mother that was smart and brave to offer you a fresh direction in life. Good job.

      Даниела, Черновци как город бил в Австовенгерской империи. Вьі вспоминаете что бьіло до Сталина, если вьі хозяева города никогда не отдали б его без боя. Неправильно что то сейчас судить, у болгар остался Балчик которий вьі считаете своим. А на Кубани все бабульки разговаривают на украинском язике, и хор поет нашьі песни так что....?

    I stepped away from your program for some longtime, then remembered you had Ukraine heritage and sought you out. This episode and some others you have done are awesome you are a credit to your ancestry and you really do a good job of showing North America and other countries your homeland. This terrible situation Ukraine is in now because of a madman in Russia is despicable and I long for the time when he is put in his place and Ukraine can be made whole again. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and well produced program. Dr. Anton Chekhov in the play “The Boor “wrote this line ”if there be equity at all let there be equity in all things.” I first spoke those lines in production that I was part of and hope for the time when the people of Ukraine and Russia will have true equity. SHALOM!

As a lover of social science it’s nice to delve into content like this away from the filter of mainstream media. It’s very nice to get an understanding of the people’s perspective. The tone and stance of the video was very personable as well and was easy to watch. So yes I would very interested in viewing new content😊👍 I also wouldn’t mind to visit there one day as well🛫✈️🚝🚆🚅

      Mainstream media all over the world is not "filtering" anymore, they are straight up LYING right in your face every day 95% of the time and also avoid saying anything their masters / owners do not want you know...
