ЦWe are massive whiners. Ukrainians like to pretend to be poor and complain about how badly they live. An Ukrainian can have several apartments, a car, a small business, but if he discusses his affairs with someone, he will definitely say that the business is unprofitable, the car is falling apart, the apartment needs repairs, etc. For some reason, we are accustomed to believe that by bragging about your achievements, you bring trouble upon yourself.
