At my class on semantic fields, I found out that Ukrainians are:
– obsessed with freedom and incapable not only of following rules but intellectually processing their existence
– extremely passionate and totalizing in their feelings (Demon Copperhead is a work of genius! The Poisonwood Bible is complete dreck!)
– low-anxiety
– messy, all over the place, the opposite of meticulous
– extremely loyal but incapable of forgiving what they see as betrayal
– very stubborn
– capable of such intense enjoyment (including of very trivial aspects of life) that others think they are mental.
I feel very understood. All of these qualities are both bad and good. But they are very real and very mine.
