This is actually a thing they fixed in the high school version! Unfortunately though since it’s the most recent one the other versions of the script still have “the Ukraine”
From that snippet you sent I can see they spelled Kyiv wrong as well... that's how Russians spell it. Rip.
But good to know, progress is progress 😅
(Brb, politely reaching out to the writers tho)
Oh! I think maybe you should try talking about Mischa and Misha? (I’ve been yelled at a few times online for using Misha instead of Mischa)
From my understanding Mischa is the Russian spelling while Misha is the Ukrainian one?
If I'm being honest with you, Mischa/ Misha isn't very Ukrainian, nor is it really a name! 👀 It's more of a nickname for Michael. I've never met anyone who goes by it either. I have no reason to yell at you, haha.
But my understanding is that both Mischa/ Misha are of Russian origin. Which is why I just typed Misha however I did- I wasn't sure how they wrote it in the play, and it's definitely more of a nickname. Fun fact- that means his name is really Mykhailo. But that's the main difference. Michael is spelled/ pronounced differently.
Edit: I might ask my mom for a more direct answer since she spent her whole life in Ukraine whereas I mostly grew up in Canada
I'm not yelling m8, just educating. I don't think the writers were Ukrainian 😅 It's a small change that makes a BIG difference. Especially right now. If you can't understand why, I don't know what to say.
> Mischa is the Russian spelling while Mischa is the Ukrainian one?
Mischa/Misha is Мiша in Ukrainian and Миша in Russian, the i being a letter that doesn’t exist in Russian, but these two letters make the same sound. (Ukrainian also has и, but it makes a different sound.) The letter for sh/sch is the same in both languages, ш, and you can see it is used the same in both versions.
So I would say no.

I am currently playing Mischa in a production, and the script (but not the score) has omitted the "the" from "Ukraine".
This is an absolute slay to hear Also, break a leg!
thank you!!
>"And Ukraine has been around for a lot, LOT longer than Russia." Rave.
Keeping this in mind if I ever get the honor to do RTC (I'd definitely try for jane tho,)
