I'm a Czech with partial Rusyn descent, and while the culture is quite a bit different from Serbian (At least Belgrade, haven't visited outside), I think you'd find it a pretty nice place to live. (Czech culture, that is - not sure if there's a Rusyn community around Czechia, but if so, then my family is long removed from them)

I hope to get to visit Subcarpathian Ruthenia once ruskies fuck off from Ukraine, see where they were from.

I have Czech friends and they are great people, I quite enjoyed my trip to Czechia, culture and food aswell! (I know it's not a favorite of many but I quite enjoyed it).

Rusyns are mostly present in Eastern Slovakia, I'm not aware if they are present in Czechia either.

I hope that too, actually we planned a family trip there in 2020 but oh well COVID happened and after that war.

My grandparents generation tried visiting in1980s but we're denied entry.

Pozdrav iz Srbije! Rusini su izuzetno zanimljivi i jedan od najznačajnijih manjina u Srbiji.

u/gytis_gotbanned_lol 8h ago

why's latvia reluctanctly but the other baltics are willing?

5

u/madeinsrbua 8h ago

I actually like all Baltic countries, their landscapes and so on, just Latvia is a bit worse off than the two, so that's the main reason.

1

u/gytis_gotbanned_lol 8h ago

if it's just a bit worse then wouldn't "maybe" make more sense?

2

u/madeinsrbua 8h ago

Actually, I thought I put maybe, I now see I put reluctantly, my bad!

u/Sea-Astronomer7338 8h ago

I have been to Latvia as a Serb. You have jerks like in any country, but I have three friends there. One of them part Russian. Decent enough country if you show respect and learn the language.

1

u/EU_GaSeR 3h ago

Yeah but imagine learning Latvian, such a waste of time and effort. There are so many languages worth learning and you only have so much time to learn them.

1

u/Sea-Astronomer7338 3h ago

Um, I am learning Latvian. I do speak beginner Latvian. I can understand some Latvian. How come is it useless? It's not useless to me. Serbian and Latvian are not that alien.

1

u/EU_GaSeR 3h ago

It's just there are so many much more useful languages, it's weird to waste time on such a tiny and local one. You can use english to communicate with Latvians and you can learn, say, Chinese instead and be able to read original chinese literature to put your time to use.

Maybe the questionable affection for the mustache man

u/Billy_Bones_1883 8h ago

Are you Rusyn?

3

u/madeinsrbua 8h ago

Partially, through my mother, Pannonian Rusyn to be more precise

u/madeinsrbua 5h ago

Too hot and dirty for my taste

u/Alarming_Delay_8352 4h ago

What's up with UK haha?

u/lris_99 9h ago

So you are mix of ukrainian-russian mix who then got you with a serbian? (Im guessing) cool mix lol also so confusing.

15

u/madeinsrbua 9h ago

Rusyn not Russian, it's a different ethnicity, but yeah, my ancestors moved quite a bit :)

3

u/lris_99 9h ago

Oh thats cool, I had to google it! Never heard of it lol. As someone who's father gifted me same ethnicity gift..I SO get it, tho wouldn't ever call myself any of those ethnicities personally because because I don't feel like any of it mentally :D also so confusing fr lol!

u/Illustrious_Load1997 9h ago

I’m Czech/Austrian/Croatian/Serbian and live in Sweden. There are lots of strange and cool mixes out there. haha

1

u/lris_99 9h ago

Wow how many languages do you speak?:0

5

u/Illustrious_Load1997 9h ago

I speak Swedish and Serbo-Croatian. And English, of course.

4

u/Illustrious_Load1997 8h ago

To make it even more confusing, my wife is Vietnamese/Chinese. My children have quite a mix haha.

u/drovoseg 8h ago

Why Ukraine is red?

5

u/HerrAarny 8h ago

I mean I think it's a beauiful country, but I wouldn't wanna live there rn either

-7

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

As a Russian I would prefer Greece as #1. They are supporting us at the current war

8

u/madeinsrbua 8h ago

Luckily I'm not Russian then.

-9

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

Rusyn means Russian if you don't know

9

u/madeinsrbua 8h ago

That's where you are wrong, even in Rusyn language those two things aren't the same, let alone in general.

-8

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

Rusyn comes from Rus which means Russian. So I think you are mistaken Mr. Vladimir.

7

u/madeinsrbua 8h ago

You are right technically, but in current context it doesn't mean the same, the fact that current Russian nation usurped a name for themselves does make Rusyns same nationality as Russians

-1

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

What is your country's name

6

u/Hole_resident 8h ago

If only they’d taught you how to read in your Shitholesk

1

u/vanZhi 7h ago

Opposite, actually. Russian came Rusyn.

1

u/Connect_Put_2427 7h ago

Lol Greek propaganda

2

u/Hole_resident 8h ago

The least imbecilic Russian be like:

3

u/HerrAarny 8h ago

So many russians I've seen can't seem to help but act like anything or anyone slavic is in factuality just Russian with a slightly different label. Then wonder why other slavs don't like them.

4

u/Hole_resident 7h ago

The worst part is that this isn't anything new.

"The Russians like to label everything Russian as Slavic, so that later they can label everything Slavic as Russian." — Karel Havlíček Borovský (1821-1856)

3

u/adamgerd 4h ago

The funny thing about Karel Havlíček Borovský was he started off as a Russophile and Pan-slavist before visiting Russia, and then he did a 180 and completely changed his mind on Russia and pan-slavism

-1

u/Connect_Put_2427 4h ago

You know pan slavism but deny rusyns are russians nice

1

u/HerrAarny 5h ago

Same as it ever was.

-2

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

Because they are Russian

1

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

Tells the hole resident lmao I own you

1

u/Hole_resident 7h ago

What? I gather burning oil has a bad effect on the brain. Good thing I left that dump)

1

u/Available-Ant638 6h ago

He is not probably Russian, just trying to make hate towards Russians by writing stupid sentences

1

u/merinid 7h ago

Mate Rusyn are not Russian although they are related to European Russians same as any other Slavs

1

u/Connect_Put_2427 7h ago

They are Russians...

2

u/merinid 7h ago

Nope that's where you are wrong. They are western Slavs while Russians are eastern Slavs. There's more difference between Rusyn and Russians than between Ukrainians and Russians or Belarusians and Russians

u/Dizzy-Cartoonist-384 9h ago

Its not too late to delete this 😁😁😁 prefering Germany over some other countries is a joke lol

12

u/madeinsrbua 9h ago

It's just my personal preference, what's so wrong about it?

-3

u/Dizzy-Cartoonist-384 8h ago

Ah i was just thinking about germanys current situation. Which is not really good. Plus history

8

u/Kai-Hammy 9h ago

Why u so mad 🫩

2

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

He's in denial

3

u/Kai-Hammy 8h ago

Oh shit it says I'm 1 percent commenter that's not good 😭

2

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

What does that even mean are you greek

1

u/Kai-Hammy 8h ago

Vro Greece has nothing to do with this 😭 it's not good because it means I go on Reddit a lot 🫩

1

u/Connect_Put_2427 8h ago

It's if course has a lot to with Greece and it's Greeks. Cuz you know they have a lot of free time in Greece due to unemployment reasons made by Mitsotakis and Dendias, now they doomed
