Hey Igor, I know growing up there was not much religion in your life, if any. But is your family of Jewish descent?? I ask because you said your grandfather was called a Kike.

Im an international person: my grandfather is jew, grandmother is german, other grandfather is ukrainian, other grandmother is russian, from estonian village. Yes, my grandfather visits synagogue on Passover, but he's not religious. In soviet times he was a CP member and army coloniel.

So by US standards your a mut.  Both of my grandparents are from Kiev, the other 2 grandparents are germans....but they were all Jews...but my dad is Baptist....so I too am a mut.

There are all types of pure breed dogs in the us. Well dogs that are of mixed breed, are called muts.

I suggest reading Part 8 of the Russia book. Its about national question in USSR and national oppression in different times:
