“Glory to Ukraine?”
Weird.
PHRASE HISTORY: Glory to Ukraine
In U.S.A., we say God Bless America.
Slava Ukraine means “Glory to Ukraine!”
This phrase became popular among Ukrainians during the Ukrainian War of Independence from 1917 to 1921. From the 1930s Slava Ukraine was used by different Ukrainian groups, as well as Ukrainian diaspora groups and refugee communities during the Cold War.
Of course in the Soviet Union the phrase was forbidden and later other Russian authorities. The phrase eventually resurfaced in Ukraine during the country’s struggle for independence in connection with the fall of the Soviet Union.
Today, during the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukrainea “Slava Ukraine” is used in protests to support Ukraine around the world.
( Ukrainian: Слава Україні!, romanized : Sláva Ukrayíni!, IPA: [ˈsɫaʋɐ ʊkrɐˈjinʲi] ( listen)) is a Ukrainian national salute, known as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance and as the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Glory to Ukraine?”
Weird.
Makes you sick, doesn’t it?
Never “God bless America.” But “All Glory to Yoyucrayne.” Yeah, OK. These ‘Zoids are just obsessed, anti-American nutcakes.
