Are Poles the ones who understand Russians better than anyone? [35]
polishmeknobSlavs did not originate from Ukrainians. That's a very politicized argument that I hear and laugh at every single time. It makes people feel special when they say that, especially Ukrainians..no offense to anyone...
When the Proto-Slavic tribes were migrating and settling, Ukrainians did not exist. Neither did Russian, Polish, etc.... there were the Proto Slavs...whom all slavs originated from...
Slavs originated from the Finno Urgic people, who migrated from the far North into Eastern Europe. The tribes that settled in Southern Poland and Northern Ukraine eventually began to disperse across what we now know as Eastern Europe/Russia, and the slavic ethnicities formed over time.
