Uspenka

Uspenka

There is some animosity betwen the different ethnic gropus but resentment against any nationality exists in the abstract only. Just as Kazakhs helped Ukrainians when they first came to settle in this land, so now individual Kazakhs and Ukrainians and Russians and Germans are on the best of terms. In Uspenka a Ukrainian family whom I interviewed had Kazakh neighbors and the little Kazakh child living next door not only played at the home of the Ukrainian couple, but called them “baba” and “dido.”
