Russian Voices, Eukranian Voices Are Our First Line

I never thought of myself as a russian in latvia, because neither latvans nor russians would let me think that. My identity as there has always been a jewish. And so the first time in my life i i heard myself referred to as russian was after coming to to the us. It's true that it sort of the american point of view that that pushes people from all over the soviet union, or the russian imperial sphere of influence into this russian identity. I think that the fact that there's some pushback that is is very healthy and and good.
