*****GK: Actually Alex, there is a bit of a difference
between "Rus'kiy" (sometimes "Rus'skiy", where the '
is the "soft sign" (b)), and "Russkiy" (hard double
"s"). To be a Rus' King is not to be a Russian King.
My grandfather still called his language "Rus'ka mova"
(Galicians long kept the older terminology), but it
was Ukrainian rather than Russian (Russkaya
rech')*****

Host of 1649 were of Moldavian descent. They were good
Ukrainian Kozaks.******
