What I am saying no to is that I think having someone be a Russian tutor simply because they can teach everyone Russian and ruin that language barrier element on the server is a bit cheap.
I didn't intend for that at all, it was just to clarify as to what they did in East Germany when they moved there, because obviously it'd be p retarded to go from being a car mechanic in Ukraine to being one in East Germany, it'd seem p fuckin' sus was what I was thinking and provided more of an incentive for the char to go from one country to the other and explain why they were in Germany and how the USSR allowed them to move from A to B. Hence why I put that he spent about 5~ years learning the language.

on surface level it might seem like that and while the languages are similar enough for them to be mutually-understandable on the most basic level calling them absolutely the same is like saying all scandispeak is the same because they all go mjorgen bjorgen vorgen.

my primary language is russian and secondary one is ukro, i studied both quite a lot in school and consider myself fluent in both languages so i can assure you that they are different enough.

as always, husky can go fuck emselves.
[doublepost=1551990462][/doublepost]not to mention that both languages hold quite a bit of cultural implications / significance in terms of the various regions of ukraine, especially in such an unstable alternate universe where ukrainian nationalism probably remained quite strong well into the 90s thanks to the 80s red expansion.
I'd watched some videos on the differences in the language when making the character, they didn't say there was a real fundamental difference and that it was pretty easy to understand one-another when talking natively from Russian to Ukranian, and as you said, both languages held some weight. It's pretty obvious that a Ukranian on the border with Russia would probably learn Russian while in school, as you said yourself you did, and you're not even under the USSR anymore, so to say they wouldn't have while under the USSR is ludicrous at best.

Mustafa Koca

Turkish immigrant, moved to West-Germany in 1964 via a labour recruitment drive - fleeing the coup's and political instability which plagued the country.

He was forced to work long hours in a brewery for a meagre pay, most of which was sent back to his family to help pay for the farm back in Izmir.

He then became an influential figure in the predominantly Turkish community in his neighbourhood in Cologne, starting his own foundation to help troubled youths who failed to assimilate into German culture. When the war began in 1983, Mustafa began to run numerous organisations to help preserve the community in dire times, stockpiling munitions in the sole aim to help preserve themselves.

Now he contemplates a plan to escape Germany, and attempt to find a way back to his homeland and reunite with his family who miss him dearly.​

my character is quite a simple fella,
alexei hoovinovski is the name
a simple-minded artist from the recently established Donetsk People's Socialist Republic
he works as an assistant weapons constructor for the soviet forces, secretly taking on furry commissions from some of the most powerful men in the soviet union. he uses that knowledge to manipulate the german theatre to his advantage, but his actions carry little consistency, keeping his true motives and allegiance shrouded in mystery.

Makhnovist/Soviet conflict being historic, which I find quite interesting, and it gives me a good base for an insurgent group and backstory for my character.
*always sunny credits theme starts playing*

episode title:

Батька Махно восстаёт из мертвых и по неизвестной причине проезжает 2000 километров чтобы дать пизды агентам Штази
