@lavcorinthos

lol wow, you're dumber than I thought. First you complain about the Russians in Ukraine and tell them to get out of "your country" and then when I mention that there are almost 3 million Ukrainians in Russia that doesn't seem to matter. When you say that Ukraine is beautiful and Russia is not, what does that imply really?-to me it's saying that Russia is ugly, and you said that the language is ugly. You're just a fucking hater, haters gonna hate. Look up troll on urban dictionary.

@lavcorinthos

hey troll, you do realize that there are almost 3 million Ukrainians in Russia? I'm sure you haven't been to Russia at all since you say it's ugly, but as they say, haters gonna hate...I on the other hand have been to Russia and Ukraine multiple times, and I'm not hating on either one. You sound like an immature 12 year old dip shit, congratulations. Keep hating on Russia man, envy and jealousy won't improve your life...haters gonna hate.

@lavcorinthos

I think it's hilarious that you're telling me to get my facts straight. Here's a tip: go do some research before you come off like a dumbass on the internet. Odessa where Maks is from, was liberated by Russia from the Turks, there was no "Odessa" before that. Lots of ethnic Russians moved there and still live there. Russia and Ukraine use to be one nation called Kievan Rus' before they split up, that's why they're so similar. You're just an uneducated troll bitching like a baby.

@lavcorinthos dude why do you think so much of the culture and language between the two is the same? It use to be one country before there was Russia or Ukraine, I already listed it earlier and I highly doubt you even looked it up. Why don't you look in the history books a little deeper and get that stick out of your ass. Besides he's from Odessa, do you know that city's history? So many Russians have their roots there after the city was taken from the Turks by Catherine the Great.

[MsBling2010]

im sick of hearing of russians saying that their ukrainian or claiming ukrainians as russians.THIS GUY MAKSIN C. hes ukrainian NOT russian...BY THE WAY ukraine was never russia...the russians took control over ukraine long ago...just like poland over western ukraine...and it dont mean that were russians...the comments on here are stupid..just get it through your head.THEY ARENT THE SAME PEOPLE.

@MsBling2010

well to be fair before there was ever Russia or Ukraine, it use to be one country called KievskayaRuss, so they essentially were the same people, then they split up, then they were reunited again by force. Either way, I don't think any of us know if he's really Russian or Ukrainian by blood the way we see it today. That's because during the USSR, people could have moved around, been born wherever. A Chinese man born in Kenya is not African, he's Chinese. Think Maks is Jewish anyway

[WINNNY22]

what a silly discussion of american idiots. there is no matter russian or ukranian. he was born in odessa where russians jews and ukranian are living tougether

[surikova87]

he is NOT russian born lol why do people still think Ukraine and Russia are both the same country...it's like if Canda and USA lol he is Ukrainian born...so am I! brrr....

[FLACSC74]

well he is a good reason to sell everything and move to Ukraine

[surikova87]

there are not that many like him left in Ukraine :)))))

[suburbcinderella]

does he speak russian or ukrainian?

[suburbcinderella]

they think that becuz before the soviet union broke up, ukraine was part of it.

do you know what his language is? does he speak russian or ukranian? ive always wanted to know...

[surikova87]

I know that all people in Ukraine speak russian, they also know Ukrainian, but only Eastern Ukraine speaks it mostly ))

[cheluzal]

Yay! He'll be back for DWTS9.....I was worried that he'd take a break because of Denise. He needs a partner like Mel again.

[DaNcErWoRlDwIdE]

Is he italian?

[DanceDabbler]

No. He is Russian-American, born in Ukraine.

[DaNcErWoRlDwIdE]

Oh..okay thanks. I couldn't figure out the accent.. he's a cutie..lol thanks again.

[bwoodsfinest]

@DanceDabbler Actually no, he's Ukrainian-American born in Ukraine(when it was USSR)

[kiuti5678]

i heard that to and half brazil

[surikova87]

lol...I wander how can he be a half Brazil if he was born in Ukraine in Odessa...

[DanceDabbler]

He's not half Brazilian! He was born in Ukraine, and is of Russian ethnicity.

[surikova87]

that's funny...but russian and ukrainian and even belorusian are all the same, there is no difference in those ethnicities- we're all slavic people up there...I was born not that far- in Donetzk, still my birth certificate says I'm russian cuz it was USSR back then...and everybody was russian...if it makes sense what I'm trying to explain )))))

[idetached]
