Russians nor Ukranians

I'm a descendent from jewish russians, born in Ukranie before World War I, ans emigrating before 1905. So we jewish immigrants, identify ourselves as russian origin, because that was the nation our grand grandparents had. They spoke Russian and Yddish, hey served in the Czar's Army, and were educated in russian Gymnasiums. The passport issued in Jarkov for my grand grandpa was a russian one.Even the Russians Ukranians I've met recognized them as part of russian empire first, and SSSR later. Don't know where started this stuff of naming Ukranie as an historical sepparate country, May be it's the peace treaties after wwi with germany and austria.

Road to hell

A family escapes the Soviet Union only to find things aren't any easier for them in 1980s New York City. It's an interesting take on the immigrant crime family trope. We've seen the setup before, but Little Ukraine takes us on a path with characters who put themselves in increasingly hot water by making the choice to do the "right thing". It's a wildly pessimistic and nihilistic pov. There is also a healthy bit of skepticism that the story points toward it's main characters and their self professed virtues. In the end there are no heroes. This movie has a pleasant surprise. Good character development. Highly recommended.
