Are you guys sure about wanting to start a fight over this subject? People get angry over anything on the internet nowadaysIt is not true. You tried to lecture me about the ways Ukrainian surnames can be transformed. I know perfectly HOW Ukrainian surnames can be changed - I do not need this information at all. And I didn't argued with the thesis that Ukrainian surnames could be changed (and WERE changed). I argued only with the thesis that only addition of one letter - namely "-v" ending - can be helpful to fool somebody in the USSR in order to hide the Ukrainian origin. You responded not to my objection, but to what you made up to yourself as my objection.
I only ask you to read CAREFULLY what I write to you BEFORE you answer to avoid unnecessary lectures.
