Russia vs. Ukraine (Donetsk)
Hi,
Been offered a job in Donetsk now..
how much Russian do they speak there? Is it predominantly Russian or Ukrainian that's spoken?
I guess it's not the most glamorous of cities :) but .. what's it like wrt everyday amenities and cost of living (edit: I mean, of course, compared to Russia, Moscow or provincial)? Anyone got any inside info on that?

Well, i read some articles last year in ukrainian, they said that it's hard to find people who could speak in ukrainian longer than 5 minutes and then they speak in russian or so-called суржик, it's a mixture of russian and ukrainian. I think it is an exaggeration but who knows...
