Shhhhhh, you can’t tell the pan-slavics that!

Right...

A ukrainian would understand polish and hungarian but not russian.

The orthodox church is the only thing that unites them but that stops at the dniepr..everything west of thst is catholic

Serbia being a strange exception

Poland is Catholic, my dude.
See this is why pan-slavism fails. Russia just assumes that all of Eastern Europe longs to return to the Warsaw Pact and some evil force has them hypnotized into joining the EU or NATO.
But the fact is - however bad globohomo is - Russia is the bully in their backyard with guns pointed at them. Putin would do much better with carrots rather than sticks, accepting the fact the national divisions are permanent.

As i said the orthodox church stops in ukraine
 
Understand Hungarian lol.

That's like saying a Russian should understand Chinese.

An Ukrainian has as much chance at understanding it as you do. Less in fact since English at least uses mostly the same alphabet.

Hungarian has nothing in common with european languages, except for Finnish, which is still as close as Samurai speak is to chingchong wingwong speak.

The only common elements would be mangled loan words, but that is a mix of latin-german-slavic-english. Often written phonetically, except for taxi. Taxi is taxi, even though it should be Takszi.

It is an Uralic language that is ranked just below the un-holy nightmare trinity of Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and that's only because we stopped using moon runes and a variant of roman numbers (9 was VIIII, not IX) a thousand years ago.

Structure wise its closer to anime, bugman, best korea or other slant eyed tongues than slavic, germanic or anglo ones. Sound wise, imagine the meth baby of german, turkish, japanese and russian.

Yeah, you magyars sound utterly incomprehensible to a Russian or a Ukrainian speaker.

Serbian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian are all much closer to Russian. Polish sounds "correct" from a distance but when you pay attention it's all just "sch" and "czh" sounds with the occasional "kurwa" or "dupa" thrown in.
 
Kurva may come from the Hungarian Kúr-fuck and va-in state of being, which means whore, lit. being fucked.

That and Cyka-Szuka, which here means she-dog or bitch. Courtesy of Russia I presume.

Labels here are usually in some languages, depends on the company, but a mix of Hungarian, Czech, Slovakian, Polish, Romanian and occasionally Croatian or Ukranian/Russian/Serb.

Czech and Slovakian are different like English and Straya talk. Polish is a bit like it, like French and English. Romanian is like a slav decided to speak dog latin in slavic, it is hilarious.

The only common word is usually zukor and cukor, from german for sugar.
 
Poland is Central Europe. Central Europe = Leans Catholic/Protestant. Eastern Europe = Leans Orthodox.

Holly shit, what a mess.

So, one by one:

1. Hungarian isn't understandable for anyone who didn't now hungarian - this language is a strange, uralic language not similar in samllest to slavic languages. Slavic languages are in some part understandable between them, as the similarities - ukrainian with polish (circa 60% of words are used in both languages), russian with ukrainian (circa 80%), czech with slovak (their are very similar), languages that have origin from serbocroatian. Male have wrote it correctly.
3. Beside Poles, Croats, Slovaks and Lithuanians East European countries aren't catholic. Czechia is mostly atheist, Hungaria is a mix of calvinist and catholics. Albania, Bosnia are muslim countries. Latvia and Estonia are protestant countries. Rest of them (Serbia, Greace, Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, false Macedonia (why they just didn't admit they are west Bulgars?) are orthodox.

And this is based on declarations, not on actions. Nearly no-one (despite Romania, and in smaller amount - other south countries) go to church or what they have as a church - in best case it is no more than 20-30% of population going time to time to church. You probably don't figure out if a dude from that part of world is orthodox, protestant or a catholic, because he will not take a fuck about moral side of his religion.

Also, populations are very mixed. You will see a large number of Hungarians in Slovakia and Romania, Croats and Serbs in Bosnia, Bosniaks (muslim slaves from Bosnia) in Croatia at a pretty good settled minorities (or regional majorities) living in them from the time before Mayflower reached America.

Russians understand Ukrainians each other just fine most of the time. It should also be noted that a majority of the eastern Ukrainian population knows and speaks Russian.

Small question for the more informed people in this thread:

What exactly is up with both the Donetsk an Luhansk secessionist states LARPing as a People's Republic to the point that they call their parliament a People's council and the Luhanskis having an emblem that is rather reminiscent of the soviets?

Are they actually left-wing or just trying to mirror that weird modern-day russian patriotism with its soviet nostalgia?
 
So has anything exciting happened? Or was it a nothing burger?
