UKRAINE’S DIASPORA
Every nation has its Diaspora. But if you take into account that there are only 37 million native Ukrainians living in Ukraine. Ukrainian peasants in the USA, Canada, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Australia uncomplainingly set themselves to the most difficult of jobs: growing grain, including for export. Their children having received a higher education, went on to build plants and factories. They whitewashed their homes with lime, planted flower gardens and finally, cooked varenyky-using local fruit of course. Now some of their children no longer know how to cook varenyky and only the most stubborn still know the Ukrainian language.
Some Ukrainians who settled in the west eventually achieved high public notoriety. However, Ukrainian economic immigration to Russia stands out in sharp contrast to another reason why so many Ukrainians left their homeland: forced immigration. Emigration has ukrainianised many regions of Siberia. Unfortunately, almost all Ukrainian immigrants in the former Soviet Union were branded as forced laborers. At the beginning of 20th century the far east was also tamed by mostly Ukrainian peasants, who like the Kuban’ Cossacks had been forced to resettle. During the Stalinist period, the technique o forced migration was improved upon with the unexpected evacuations of entire nations.
At the same time Ukrainians were being sent to Northern and Eastern Russia, Ethnic Russians were moving into Ukraine.
Today, we know that about 8 million ethnic Russians live in Ukraine. They all consider themselves native inhabitants of the country. Exactly how many Ukrainians live in Russia is still uknown-quotes of anywhere from 6 to 20 million have been heard. The statistical bland can be explained by years of repression during forced migration and the resulting aversion of Ukrainians to non-Russian identity for the sake of their own safety. However, in Siberia and Central Asia the Ukrainian Villages perseveres in its foreign environment: the whitewashed walls, the flower gardens and the Ukrainian dishes. Apparntly, this is the way the sturdiness of the Ukrainian spirit manifests itself.
