Thanks for the tip Jake! Yes, this is a very sensitive topic.
I'm so old! When I was studying Russian in high school it was still the
Soviet Union, so we studied a little Ukranian too. Kiev is the birthplace
of the orthodox church and the Russ too, as we studied, so it is easy for a
foreigner to mix things up and unintentionally offend people.
Currently I'm in NYC and haven't stopped by any cool hacker spaces like the
Resistor. =/
