I’m of Russian descent as well, only we fled the Ukraine to England and then to America.
folking commies, my grandmother despised them. She started from Ukraine too, sheesh, maybe our ancestors knew each other, then while living in China, where many Russians escaped to, the folking Japanese invaded and put her, my grandfather, my dad and my uncle in a concentration camp for 3 years, they were rescued by guess who, Americans, then the folking Chinese commies were raging and they all had to escape.
How did your people get straight to England?
Our name was Chernoff (Chernova for the females)
