Nothing special, just Dua Lipa eating Ukrainian varenyky in Warsaw



Ukrainian varenyky or Polish pierogy? I was attacked on Twitter by Poles claiming that vareniki are a Polish dish, Russians insisting they are Russian because Poland calls them "pierogi ruskie," and even some fake "Ukrainian" accounts. It was quite a shock, so I decided to cross-reference the facts with independent sources, including Polish ones. Here’s what I found: In Poland, "Pierogi ruskie" actually came from Lviv during the era of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (specifically after the expansion into Red Ruthenia in the 14th century). Even Polish historians confirm this. There is a famous legend about Saint Hyacinth (Święty Jacek Odrowąż, 1185–1257), who is said to have brought the recipe from Kyiv to Kraków in the 13th century. There’s even a saying: "Święty Jacku z pierogami!" (Saint Hyacinth with his pierogi!). In Ukraine, the literary name is varenyky, but in Western Ukraine, particularly Halychyna, they have always been called pyrohy. I’ve done my homework, so feel free to check the sources yourself if you don't believe me :) Additional context: Rus is Ukraine. The term "Ruski" referred to Ukrainian territories (like the Ruthenian Voivodeship centered in Lviv, established in 1434). This identity remained distinct long after the Mongol Siege of Kyiv (1240) and long before Muscovy rebranded itself as "Russia" under Peter I in 1721. Using the term "ruskie" to claim the dish is "Russian" is a basic historical error. Ruskie always meant belonging to Ukrainians. And it was never a nationality, only something that belongs to us as our property. Nationality in Slavic languages is denoted by a noun: Rusych, Rusyn, Ruthenian. Ruskiy - if it's about a person, then it's about our slave ;) So, by trying to justify the right to occupy Ukraine by stealing history and its name, the Russians humiliated themselves.
