Please, when you see something written in Cyrillic, don't assume right away that it's russian. Russian is not the only language that uses Cyrillic. There are also Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Serbian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Mongolian.

It's a sensitive topic especially for us Ukrainians because russian language is a weapon. It's a colonial language, it's presented like one and only true slavic language, it erases and replaces other languages. Belarusian is literally on the verge of extinction because of russian. Ukrainian has been banned 134 times throughout history, it is still called a "village language", a dialect of russian. Russian colonialism is literally the reason why there are so many russian speaking people in Ukraine (I was one of them btw). Ukrainian is banned on russian occupied territories and people are getting in trouble or even killed for using it there, Ukrainian POWs in russian captivity are getting brutally beaten for speaking Ukrainian.

Like okay, I can get why there's this confusion, so here's a clue to understand that the language you're looking at definitely is not russian — the letter і. If you see ї (like i but with two dots) it's 100% Ukrainian. If you see j it's Serbian. Russian alphabet also doesn't have such letters as Ђ, Љ, Њ, Ў, Џ (dont confuse with Ц ). Yes, it's not always gonna be easy to detect that the language in front of you is not russian, but when you have trouble with it just ask or run it through any translation app and it'll probably tell you the language.

Hope this will be helpful.

The sword of the blacksmith Liudota is an archaeological monument of the princely era of Kyivan Rus, a decorated sword with an inscription "коваль Людота". The sword dates back to the first half of the 11th century. The sword was found in 1890 during farm work in the village of Khvoshchove, near the city of Myrhorod, Poltava region.

N.B. In the russian language, the blacksmith is "кузнец". In Belaruthian, it's "каваль".

P.S. The moral of the story is to place watermarks on your art. XD

There is a theory that languages are related if one is understandable to a native speaker of the other. However, Ukrainian and Russian differ in many aspects, including lexical and phonetic.

In August 2023, 9% of Ukrainians spoke Russian on a daily basis, compared with 23% in 2022. A number of factors have contributed to the spread of Russian in Ukrainian society. During the Russian Empire and the USSR, and after 1991 with the restoration of Ukraine's independence (Ukraine had been independent since 1918 with the establishment of the Ukrainian People's Republic), Russian was widely used in the media, cinema, literature and music. Instead, Russians can only understand Ukrainian words that are similar to Russian.

This article describes the history of the two languages, their differences and the spread of Russian after the restoration of Ukrainian independence.
