Same thing. I knew a couple of Ukrainians my age in college. (They were born in DP camps in Germany, and later moved to the States with their parents.) Talking to them helped make me a life long anti-Soviet and also help form my anti-statist worldview. Same with Poles and Baltic people. Read my profile. I grew up in Queens in the 1950’s, where you came in contact with a lot of refugees from Nazism and Communism.
