Hang on a minute! Is this in the USA or Russia?
I mean look at the list of names you guys just rattled of........
Baglauvich
Depinko
Vrdolyak
Borowitz
Blagojevich is of Serbian ancestry, Vrdolyak is of Croatian ancestry. Depinko? I think he means Topinka, who ran against Blagojevich. Czechoslovakian, I think.
That's just the way Chicago is. My ex-wife's dad came from the Lithuanian southside neighborhood. I have no idea if it's changed, but you wouldn't believe the ethnic solidarity there.
Andy Borowitz is Jewish and from Cleveland. I suppose his ancestors may have come from Poland.
Nope, no Russians. Just Americans.
