Yes, Andropov was Russian. It is rumored that he was
Jewish. (His great grand-niece is a friend of mine, by
the way.) But he was in power, what, a year? Chernenko
is a Ukrainian name.
Never call Ukraine "the Ukraine" to a Ukrainian
nationalist. You will get a black eye.
"Ukraine" means "the borderlands."
