On February 24, 2022, Russia has begun its full-scaled invasion of Ukraine. We have been fighting ever since.

Humor is what helps us to stay strong and carry on.

This project is developed by Media Center Ukraine and is aimed to preserve the most important memes of this war.

  • Event:
    It has become essential to distinguish Ukrainians from Russian quickly and effectively
  • Meme:
    Palyanytsia
  • Meme’s history:
    Ukrainians used the word “palyanytsia” to learn a Russian from a Ukrainian. 

    Паляниця or Palyanytsia, is the Ukrainian word for a type of Ukrainian bread that is very easy for Ukrainians to pronounce. However, Russians cannot pronounce it well due to the differences in languages. This word is used as a test to tell if the person is from Ukraine or from Russia.
