Ukraine outlaws possession of porn, but can't define what it is (WalletPop)

Jul 5th 2009 11:45PM Thank you for the comment, Ana. I am happy that this blog post stirred conversation.

I'm sure that we can find Russian and Ukrainian grandmothers who hate their lives and/or have nothing to do and those who are being the best grandmothers they can be. In this case, though, the reference was not made out of favoritism or prejudice for either culture. Harlequin does not publish Ukrainian translations of its romance novels and does publish them in Russian and since Russian is the second major language spoken in Ukraine (in some regions of the country it's actually the first), the grandmothers in this reference have to be Russian-speaking (no matter whether they are Ukrainian-speaking, German-speaking, Turkish-speaking, etc. as well).

Many thanks,

Jane
