Thank you. Look upp: "From Russia with Borscht | History Today" _Exactly when and where borscht appeared is something of a mystery; but it was probably first made in what is now Ukraine, somewhere between the fifth and ninth centuries AD._
it plays an important role in polish cuisine as well but yeah borscht most likely originated in Ukraine (btw its english spelling is so difficult and weird lol)
Even Russia is Ukrainian to begin with. Long before the Russian tsars expanded eastwards, the kingdom of Kievan Rus (the origin of the name Russia), with the capital city Kyiv, was most closely aligned with the land that is now Ukraine.
How about Chicken Kiev, the favorite of that Russian restaurateur? Is it Russian or Ukrainian. I used to work with a Ukrainian who didn’t know he was Ukrainian until the breakup of the USSR. He grew up in Russia.

If I had a Russian business in the area I'd go support them because of this exact reason. Thank you Daily Show for this segment. Misha has a great personality and I wish I was close enough to share some shots with him. I had a professor that was Russian and was on the verge of tears talking about how she wants to show her children where she grew up but was fearful of returning home. She was so thankful to have the opportunity to be here.
Long before this happened, I worked at a place that was Russian owned- my Ukrainian friend and his mom worked there, they regularly conversed in what I have to assume was some mishmash of their two languages with the owner- it was a point of connection, not of dissension. To me, it seemed like they were especially kind with them because of this connection. This conflict is new, the friendship is old. That's why many Russians in Russia are protesting this so heavily.
@A P You are technically correct. However around 150 years ago the Republican and Democratic party switched platforms. The old Democratic party was conservative and pro small government. The old Republican party was progressive and pro large government. It's just a name, the beliefs and policies are completely flipped.
@A P Nice logical fallacy. Who does the KKK consistently endorse, now? Who has self-avowed neo nazis running for office? Who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with men who had pro-Holocaust shirts & confederate flags on Jan 6? Who wore MAGA hats & chanted “Jews Will Not Replace Us!”, in Charlottesville? It’s not 1960, no matter how much you & your fellow cult members wish it were.
@A P Also- Maybe you’re unaware, but it’s racist to assume someone of a certain race only supports certain policies because they were duped or that to believe someone of color is “owned” by whichever party they vote for. Despite a shallow understanding of US history, you did teach us something… about yourself, by removing your hood with that show of implicit bias.
@@chewibunny I’d say the flip was a lot more recent, not until the 1960’s did they finally switch over fully, especially when Johnson signed the civil rights act.
Those quotes are kind of in contradiction. Russia's pretty big, if it's just Putin that bothered you, you could have stayed in it and moved a bit to a different part. Yet obviously the whole thing was going corrupt which understandably means you'd want to get out. But then when we take the second quote. While "we didn't start this war" is true when "we" refers to the people who left, the second part is "it's Putin's war" and suddenly the rest of Russia disappears from the picture so that Putin can be the one and only bad actor? The fact is he's not doing it alone and he's not even doing it with anything less than enthusiastic support from the Russians that didn't leave Russia. Not all of them, but generally speaking they're for it, voluntarily painting their Zs all over the place. "It's Putin's war" is disingenous to the extreme.
@@dee_dee_place Sure, I have no problem with this guy. I have a problem with "it's Putin's war and Russians are sweet innocent little angels being unwillingly dragged into it" that seems to be propagated.

@@abdulmasaiev9024 I have a problem with the total population of Russia not storming the Kremlin & calling for Putin to be replaced, now. Unfortunately, Russian history always shows the populous being non-active against totalitarian regimes. Also, to tell you the truth, the guy who said "violence isn't the answer" seems suspect to me. That was a total Non-Answer. He should have said he was against the Ukrainian invasion like the other Russian guy did. He tried to dodge the bullet/question.
What’s news? Punish the people who are innocent. Punish Asian Americans who have nothing to do the Covid-19. Punish Russians outside Russia who have nothing to do with starting the war.

Americans don't abandon your Russian business they pay taxes locally and remember stop giving an opportunity to be hated. Not all Russians believe in the war and I don't think all Russians are for this war.
Borshch is not a russian dish. It is Ukrainian. But white Americans know better than me about cultural appropriation. And btw, the russian war is rooted in russian culture.
When I was in Letterman General (military) Hospital after getting back from Vietnam, one of the San Francisco restaurants which invited us every month was The Russian Renaissance. They didn't request that we come in uniform and they didn't make a big deal to their other patrons. They were ethnic Russians who had lived in China for several generations but escaped when Mao took over.
I'm Irish, I was racially profiled for "Looking Russian". Tell me, how does a Russian look? Yeah, don't hate the people who are not forcing their military to invade Ukraine, hate the people who are forcing their military to invade Ukraine.
Tell that to all the Black people in this country that are racially profiled everyday of their life and probably by you but you want us to feel sorry for you smh.
the polls show that 71% of Russians are proud of the war. Ukrainian army has just shot down the helicopter with the sign "To Berlin". Do you think that Putin personally drew this sign?
I am from northern Romania originally and Moldova used to be a part of Romania that some Russian president just took or borrowed but now they do not want anything to do with Romania anymore, and they must have their reasons, like a fondness of communism, and Romania is sad but has decided not to invade them. We have Slavic influences in our language and in that part of the country that is what we call it too these types of vegetable soups - borsh. Soup or supa is more clear, it is like the borsh with no vegetable in it, maybe a little chicken only and some parsley.
I am so sorry for these restaurants. After this nightmare began, I started shopping as much as possible in Little Russia here in San Francisco and buying from Russians bakeries and grocery stores. This terrible crime is really just Putin and his personalist regime where even those closest to him were shocked by the invasion. I can't imagine how many Russians must feel right now here in the United States. P.S. Thanks to switching grocery shopping to Russian markets, I have discovered the most wonderful bread called Borodini, a seemingly endless variety of preserved red bell peppers and eggplant, and a real culture for honey from all sorts of regions in Russia.
1. Borsch has never been Russian until recently, but it is Ukrainian national dish for centuries. Russian similar national dishes are schie (with sour cabbage) and ocroshka. 2. I have sympathy and empathy with Russians of any nationality who are receiving undeserved hits all over the World, but still: have anybody ever heard of some courageous massive actions lead by the Russians living abroad against Putin's policies towards Ukraine and Russians living within Russia during last 10 - 15 years !!?? They put the blame on the peoples of civilized World, but not on openly on Putin. We,Ukrainians, have been for years insulted, vexed by Putin's fake propaganda and numerous foreigners, going along wit it, calling us Nazis! But we put full blame on Putin, not on people who are victims of long lasting fake propaganda, just as we are!

Chicken Kiev or chicken Kyiv is a dish made of chicken fillet pounded and rolled around cold butter, then coated with egg and bread crumbs, and either fried or baked. Stuffed chicken breast is generally known in Ukrainian and Russian cuisines as côtelette de volaille

I feel and understand these Russian in US it is not their fault and should not pay the price, It happened exactly to Iranian in America during hostage's crises typical American not understand , when people left their country and live in US or another country it means they are against or not happy with the system in their own country and they should not pay the price
Possibly. But did you hear them say that they are sorry for the atrocities their country is doing in Ukraine? Many Russians just say they are against the war, which most westerners will interpret as condemning Russia. What they really mean, is that they would like Ukraine to surrender to Russia.
Another thing I was wondering as well and this is what I was saying in the previous video we should pray for actual Russian people because while they're not dying like all these ukrainians some may for protesting but they're at least fighting. So yeah I agree don't vilify any Russian person only Putin. But especially these restaurants since most of them are Ukrainian so you're just doing the opposite of what you supporting
@@sleepypanda3801 now you see it's that kind of talk that vilifies other Russians unfairly because they aren't the ones that started the war it's one Vladimir Putin! It's like y'all just associating the one person with everybody when that's not the case
Most Russians support Putin, his war and even the idea of starting further wars. We shouldn't villify them by default since some do protest against this and take incredible risks in doing so (and also that this mostly applies to Russians within Russia, those living outside it are a completely different case), but the stance of "oh no these sweet poor innocent Russians the things Putin is forcing them to do" is absurd. Going by the numbers (58% for the war, 23% against it, according to a recent independent poll), the common Russians are as a cohort Putin's enthusiastic collaborators.

It would be like people thinking tea is mostly a British thing.
@@daniilmurray3751 Here’s a little snippet of Ukrainian history under the Russian Empire and of the forced Russification:
1720 - Peter I's decree banning printing in the Ukrainian language and the seizure of Ukrainian church books.
1729 - Peter II ordered decrees and orders written in Ukrainian be rewritten in Russian.
1763 - Catherine II's decree banning the teaching in Ukrainian in Kiev-Mohyla Academy.
1769 - Prohibition of the Synod of Ukrainian print and use the primer.
1775 - The destruction of the Zaporozhian Sich and closing of Ukrainian schools at the offices of the Cossack regiment.
1832 - Reorganization of education in Ukraine on the empire-wide principles and transforming all teaching into Russian language
1847 - The crackdown on the Brotherhood of Cyril and Methodius and increased persecution of the Ukrainian language and culture, the prohibition of the best works of Shevchenko, Kulish, Kostomarov and others.
1862 - Closing Ukrainian Sunday schools for adults.
1863 - Valuev Circular prohibiting censors from giving permission to the publication of Ukrainian spiritual and popular educational literature: "there was, is not and could not have been a separate Little Russian language".
1864 - Adoption of the Charter of the primary school at which education was to be conducted only in Russian.
1876 - Alexander II's Ems decree banning the printing and import from abroad of any Ukrainian literature, and to ban Ukrainian stage performances and Ukrainian lyrics in music scores, that is folk songs.
1881 - Prohibition of teaching in the public schools and conducting church sermons in Ukrainian.
1888 - Decree by Alexander III banning the use of the Ukrainian language in official institutions and of Ukrainian given names.
1892 - Prohibition to translate books from Russian into Ukrainian.
1895 - Prohibition by the Main Administration of Printing to publish Ukrainian-language children's books.
1911 - Resolution VIIth congress of the nobility in Moscow's only Russian-language education and the inadmissibility of the use of other languages in schools in Russia.
1914 - Nicholas II’s decree prohibiting Ukrainian press.
Today there are no Ukrainian schools or libraries in Russia despite Ukrainians being the second largest ethnicity in a number of regions.

Borshcht is actually a traditional Ukrainian food. Russia incorporated a lot of elements of other former post Soviet republics in their everyday diet.
A lot of elements indeed. Some they are trying to reincorporate.
One might say stole... Borscht exists in variety of east Slavic cultures. But all of them have different twists. Like Polish barszcz z uszkami is also borscht, but it is distinctly different. Russian borscht is a complete rip off of Ukrainian borscht. And you could say that it's not the only thing they stole.

Borscht is a Ukrainian dish, to begin with
Thank you. Look upp: "From Russia with Borscht | History Today" _Exactly when and where borscht appeared is something of a mystery; but it was probably first made in what is now Ukraine, somewhere between the fifth and ninth centuries AD._
it plays an important role in polish cuisine as well but yeah borscht most likely originated in Ukraine (btw its english spelling is so difficult and weird lol)
Even Russia is Ukrainian to begin with. Long before the Russian tsars expanded eastwards, the kingdom of Kievan Rus (the origin of the name Russia), with the capital city Kyiv, was most closely aligned with the land that is now Ukraine.
How about Chicken Kiev, the favorite of that Russian restaurateur? Is it Russian or Ukrainian. I used to work with a Ukrainian who didn’t know he was Ukrainian until the breakup of the USSR. He grew up in Russia.
@@cfwin1776 in Russia, you're always a mix.

If I had a Russian business in the area I'd go support them because of this exact reason. Thank you Daily Show for this segment. Misha has a great personality and I wish I was close enough to share some shots with him. I had a professor that was Russian and was on the verge of tears talking about how she wants to show her children where she grew up but was fearful of returning home. She was so thankful to have the opportunity to be here.
you shouldn’t
Don't you think that supporting Ukrainian business would be better?
@@torreytonks2833 I suppose I wouldn't phrase it as better. Just that I would also.
Long before this happened, I worked at a place that was Russian owned- my Ukrainian friend and his mom worked there, they regularly conversed in what I have to assume was some mishmash of their two languages with the owner- it was a point of connection, not of dissension. To me, it seemed like they were especially kind with them because of this connection.
This conflict is new, the friendship is old. That's why many Russians in Russia are protesting this so heavily.
Really funny how Desi casually admitted to having committed a crime XD
@A P You are technically correct. However around 150 years ago the Republican and Democratic party switched platforms. The old Democratic party was conservative and pro small government. The old Republican party was progressive and pro large government. It's just a name, the beliefs and policies are completely flipped.
@A P in the past yes. Not anymore.
@A P Nice logical fallacy. Who does the KKK consistently endorse, now? Who has self-avowed neo nazis running for office? Who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with men who had pro-Holocaust shirts & confederate flags on Jan 6? Who wore MAGA hats & chanted “Jews Will Not Replace Us!”, in Charlottesville? It’s not 1960, no matter how much you & your fellow cult members wish it were.
@A P Also- Maybe you’re unaware, but it’s racist to assume someone of a certain race only supports certain policies because they were duped or that to believe someone of color is “owned” by whichever party they vote for. Despite a shallow understanding of US history, you did teach us something… about yourself, by removing your hood with that show of implicit bias.
@@chewibunny I’d say the flip was a lot more recent, not until the 1960’s did they finally switch over fully, especially when Johnson signed the civil rights act.

Quotes of the video
"Russians who are here left Russia for a Reason".
&
"We didn't start this war, It's PUTIN'S War"..
Those quotes are kind of in contradiction. Russia's pretty big, if it's just Putin that bothered you, you could have stayed in it and moved a bit to a different part. Yet obviously the whole thing was going corrupt which understandably means you'd want to get out. But then when we take the second quote. While "we didn't start this war" is true when "we" refers to the people who left, the second part is "it's Putin's war" and suddenly the rest of Russia disappears from the picture so that Putin can be the one and only bad actor? The fact is he's not doing it alone and he's not even doing it with anything less than enthusiastic support from the Russians that didn't leave Russia. Not all of them, but generally speaking they're for it, voluntarily painting their Zs all over the place. "It's Putin's war" is disingenous to the extreme.

Also I'm kinda eyerolling at the "violence isn't the answer" guy. Ukrainian-on-invader violence is absolutely a major part of the answer. May the pocket sunflower fields grow far and wide.
@@abdulmasaiev9024 I have a problem with the total population of Russia not storming the Kremlin & calling for Putin to be replaced, now. Unfortunately, Russian history always shows the populous being non-active against totalitarian regimes. Also, to tell you the truth, the guy who said "violence isn't the answer" seems suspect to me. That was a total Non-Answer. He should have said he was against the Ukrainian invasion like the other Russian guy did. He tried to dodge the bullet/question.
What’s news? Punish the people who are innocent. Punish Asian Americans who have nothing to do the Covid-19. Punish Russians outside Russia who have nothing to do with starting the war.
That did happen. When Covid first started there was a surge in crime against Asian Americans. Same thing when Ebola was a thing. There were news articles about black kids being bullied at schools because of it. The list goes on and on. Where have you been?
I recall china closing it's arrivals while allowing people to depart claiming no human to human transmission during Chinese new year in 2020... We all know how that ended ... But people should not villify people. Focus on government actions.

Americans don't abandon your Russian business they pay taxes locally and remember stop giving an opportunity to be hated. Not all Russians believe in the war and I don't think all Russians are for this war.
The vast majority of Russians do support the war though. It’s important to note that fact.

I am from northern Romania originally and Moldova used to be a part of Romania that some Russian president just took or borrowed but now they do not want anything to do with Romania anymore, and they must have their reasons, like a fondness of communism, and Romania is sad but has decided not to invade them. We have Slavic influences in our language and in that part of the country that is what we call it too these types of vegetable soups - borsh. Soup or supa is more clear, it is like the borsh with no vegetable in it, maybe a little chicken only and some parsley.

The story of quite some immigrants
I am so sorry for these restaurants. After this nightmare began, I started shopping as much as possible in Little Russia here in San Francisco and buying from Russians bakeries and grocery stores. This terrible crime is really just Putin and his personalist regime where even those closest to him were shocked by the invasion. I can't imagine how many Russians must feel right now here in the United States. P.S. Thanks to switching grocery shopping to Russian markets, I have discovered the most wonderful bread called Borodini, a seemingly endless variety of preserved red bell peppers and eggplant, and a real culture for honey from all sorts of regions in Russia.
As they go through these changes I wish them the best life.
1. Borsch has never been Russian until recently, but it is Ukrainian national dish for centuries.

2:33 Journalist reaction to owner's comment: "We are here to make borscht not war."
The red tint in that guy’s glasses makes me think he might be Russian.
I think that went over the head of most people! 😂
Excellent!
I feel and understand these Russian in US it is not their fault and should not pay the price, It happened exactly to Iranian in America during hostage's crises typical American not understand , when people left their country and live in US or another country it means they are against or not happy with the system in their own country and they should not pay the price
Possibly. But did you hear them say that they are sorry for the atrocities their country is doing in Ukraine? Many Russians just say they are against the war, which most westerners will interpret as condemning Russia. What they really mean, is that they would like Ukraine to surrender to Russia.
@@sleepypanda3801 That’s an interpretation. Don’t say it like it’s a fact.
More Desi, please.
They should place a Ukraine flag and message, we support Ukraine
Desi ❤❤❤❤❤
"You drink that like a Russian." The best line that has ever been said🤯🔥
why is it unlisted?
Another thing I was wondering as well and this is what I was saying in the previous video we should pray for actual Russian people because while they're not dying like all these ukrainians some may for protesting but they're at least fighting. So yeah I agree don't vilify any Russian person only Putin. But especially these restaurants since most of them are Ukrainian so you're just doing the opposite of what you supporting
Only putin? there are 140m putins in Russia, 1 person could not do anything.
@@sleepypanda3801 now you see it's that kind of talk that vilifies other Russians unfairly because they aren't the ones that started the war it's one Vladimir Putin! It's like y'all just associating the one person with everybody when that's not the case
Most Russians support Putin, his war and even the idea of starting further wars. We shouldn't villify them by default since some do protest against this and take incredible risks in doing so (and also that this mostly applies to Russians within Russia, those living outside it are a completely different case), but the stance of "oh no these sweet poor innocent Russians the things Putin is forcing them to do" is absurd. Going by the numbers (58% for the war, 23% against it, according to a recent independent poll), the common Russians are as a cohort Putin's enthusiastic collaborators.

Soldiers are soldiers 🤷🏽♀️
Misha Vin Shats is definitely up to something 😂
