    We are dealing with a towering intellect:

    Kharakhterniks are a group of Ukrainian werewolf Cossacks. Enemies claimed that they simply turned into beasts on the battlefield, were impervious to bullets and impossible to kill.

    next sentence:

    Whether this is a truth or a legend is unknown

        well that’s actually classic Hitlerite lore, before the theory of proto-indo-european had quite matured they were calling it ‘aryan’ after (i think) the first recorded ethnonym from the vedas. they’d already (correctly) gotten to the point where they thought this language was the origin of all european & indo-iranian languages, but hadn’t settled on the modern terminology and some details.

        so crackpot Arthur de Gobineau enters onto the scene, and married this to racial theories roughly conforming to us-foreign-policy. all the places speaking indo-european languages that are less than snow white? white aryan paradises that got overwhelmed and outbred by swarthy subjects they’d gifted Aryan language and civilization to. all the still white places were good and the best were the most whitest (germans, scandinavians, in an oddly flattering move for a french racist) but the Danger—what happened to the Aryans in India and Iran, it still remained! the white aryan purity of europe must be protected! you can see why the Nazis liked this shit

        actually correct and citationed telling of this here

    1. The Ukrainian language comes from the oldest language in the world - Sanskrit, and still has many common words.

    I know this person is literally being a Nazi and doing Holocaust denial, but other people have already pointed it out and I’m into linguistics, so I’m going to be enraged by this instead. Just what the fuck, like you were just talking about the ““Aryans”” and apparently you don’t know about Proto-Indo-European??? And how is Sanskrit the oldest language in the world? If this had been some weird Hindu nationalist this would make more sense to me but they’re not so what reason do you have to just say dumb shit like this. You could at least have made up some bullshit about how since the Proto-Indo-Europeans originally inhabited Ukraine, the Ukrainian language is closest to theirs and least tainted by foreign influence but nooo.

    17 words to kill a linguist chefs-kiss

    The ancestors of the Slavs were the Vikings, who founded their own race

    stopping and then defeating the Golden Horde

    burning ashes of Kiev say what? is “stopping and defeating” now defined by licking clean the boots of the great khan?

    The legendary Amazons (warrior women) lived on the territory of Ukraine
