The Problem with "The": A History of the Name Ukraine


Listen Later

A name is important, a country name is a brand, so how did Ukraine become Ukraine? This episode explores the fascinating, complex and surprisingly political history of the name Ukraine. From Moscow's influence, to Western cartographers to a fight for survival and now a problem with an English grammar article, this episode explores all that and more. 

Travel options include a theme loving Lviv along with some border guard drama and meat-mysterious meals. 

Warning: explicit language is used.
