Secret Order to Destroy Slavs and Re-Write their Genetic Code! 3 Ingredients of Color Revolution (New Theory)!
Dear Lada,
I would like you to spare an hour of your precious time to watch this first part of the mini-series; it was just posted on the author`s site about the color revolution assassins.
http://www.dudinka.org/color-revolution-professional-killers/
This one is with Georgians about Maidan.
Since we have a sychophant so called government installed here in Macedonia by the ussa, and all of the politicunts are useless :-), I think it will be a very interesting to watch, especially if it survives ussa and yt censorship).
The Earth Shift is truly remarkable :-).
Wishing you excellent health and keep up your great work.

Let’s figure out MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY, and from the standpoint of THE EARTH SHIFT THEORY, what this is all about.
Yes, the Internet is abuzz with the news. It has now been admitted publicly that Saakashvili and his Georgian mercenaries were behind the Kiev Maidan assassinations, previously blamed on Yanukovich, and of course, on Russia & Putin. The people killed during Maidan by unknown snipers are celebrated as ‘martyrs’ by ukro-nazis and Kiev junta, and they are called ‘Nebesnaya Sotnya,’ translated as ‘the Celestial 100.’ In the absence of true heroes and accomplishments, a false mythology was hastily put together for the Kiev ukro-nazi regime. According to this fake mythology ‘the Celestial 100,’ in other words, those poor dupes who served as sacrificial lambs to the ‘unknown’ snipers on Maidan, are remembered as heroes who gave their lives for ‘freedom’ gained through the ‘people’s uprising against despot Yanukovich (!) and against Russian dictate (!).’
It has been also officially established and admitted by culprits that not only Georgian, but also Lithuanian professional killers participated in the mass assassinations on Maidan. Let me remind everyone that Lithuanian president Dalia Gribauskaite personally was one of the biggest supporters and instigators of Kiev Maidan, the ukro-nazi coup and the ousting of Yanukovich. Lithuania, along with Poland, hosted training camps for ukro-nazi thugs who were attacking and killing people in Kiev and all over Ukraine, including the peaceful delegation for the anti-Maidan protests from Crimea in 2014.
The Georgian killers, the ousted Saakashvili regime politicians, mafia and crooks, including ex-Georgian president himself, were direct and active participants and instigators since the start. I describe this, and how same Georgian crooks got high positions within Ukraine in ESR8: BLACK SEA GAMBIT. On LadaRay.com you can still get for free the Odessa Section of this report, where all this is talked about.
That main battle ram, tasked with making sure the Kiev color revolution succeeded and Ukraine was turned into anti-Russia, consisted of the following countries: Poland, Lithuania and to a smaller degree, Romania. Georgia was the best represented, but perhaps less officially so, since Saakashvili, a very well-known US agent, was ousted by then. It has to be noted that Georgia is now making steps to restore relations with Russia, after they were so rudely and ruthlessly severed by the US and Saakashvili’s efforts in 2008. In 2014 many Georgians, including Saakashvili’s entire entourage, together with all his professional mercenaries, crooks, mafia and pro-Saakashvili ex-politicians literally invaded Ukraine. Some since have been booted out, but many, including Saakashvili himself, are still causing trouble.
Of course, the ex-Soviet-association countries, Poland, Lithuania, Romania and Georgia, were just the executioners of the BIG plan. This is how these ‘countries’ with hardly any economy to speak of make big money and that’s how they keep afloat. Who pays them? The actual puppeteers, of course! And these are the usual suspects, residing anywhere between Washington, London, Brussels and Berlin.
But they didn’t make any secret of that. Many high level officials and politicians from the EU and US were openly on Maidan, calling on the ousting of Yanukovich and on Ukraine severing all ties with Russia. We named the names before, and here are some of them one more time: the US senator McCain, USA’s Victoria Nuland, US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, EU FM Catherine Ashton, many EU parliament members and top politicians, Polish state ministers and top politicians, including the surviving of the Kachinski twins, called ‘the shadow ruler of Poland.’ These were found not only on Maidan. Per recently published memoirs of Yanukovich’s prime minister Azarov, both he and Yanukovich received daily pressure and threats from Nuland and other US/EU top brass, including the calls from EU heads of state (!) telling them to do nothing about Maidan and to sever all ties with Russia, or face the regime change and personal danger.
If Yanukovich and his people were any smarter they’d realize that those who show fear, those who succumb to threats, and those who negotiate with terrorists will lose everything in the end. Despite Yanukovich/Azarov seemingly complying with West’s demands to stand down, they lost their wealth, their positions, reputations, and ultimately, their country.
SAAKASHVILI, POROSHENKO & WHY THE WEST WON’T FINANCE MAIDAN-3
Saakashvili is trying to orchestrate Maidan-3 in Kiev, and his goal is to oust Poroshenko, while his personal ambition is to become the new ruler of Ukraine. But this time his US bosses won’t finance it. Why? Very simple. All they wanted from poor Ukraine is to become the cannon fodder in their 4D hybrid war against Russia, and in a hot 3D war, if they were really lucky and if Kiev turned out really stupid. They achieved their goal, albeit partially. They know that this is about as far as they can get.
Russia demonstrated to the US that they would not be able to step beyond a certain limit. The limit has been clearly defined and the tide began to turn. Russia also demonstrated that she could hurt them back, if they continued pushing. They can’t do it openly any more, as they so easily did in 2014, using the distraction of the Sochi Olympics, when Russia was too busy and vulnerable, and could not protect Ukraine on time.
Their strategy right now is to see if they can quietly manage to push Poroshenko to a new round of escalation and to a bigger and more open conflict with Russia. Ukraine Rada is trying to pass the bill severing diplomatic relations with Russia, which is one of the steps in this attempted new escalation. This possibility is so far successfully averted by Russia the Great Balancer by engaging Europeans, who can’t afford even more escalation before the winter. They do want Russian gas, after all.
The lines in the sand have been drawn, culprits have been told in no uncertain terms, not a step beyond a certain point. As they would say in Spain and L. America, ‘No pasaran!’ — ‘They won’t pass!’
Hence, why would they invest in removing Poroshenko now that he, perhaps poorly, but does fulfill his role of being a major thorn in Russia’s back? Pushing him subtly and relentlessly into an escalation of conflict with Russia? Sure, why not. Saakashvili, along with ukro-nazi thugs, is now used as one of those patsies to keep Poroshenko in check. Poroshenko is presently in the fight of his life, being constantly afraid to lose his ‘throne.’ If he does, he won’t end well. Consequently, staying on top is the only way for him to stay alive.
But as we are seeing, a direct and open support of Kiev regime and Poroshenko by the West is diminishing. There is even a certain revolt against him and ukro-nazis in some EU countries. All that was discussed in detail in EU Trouble: Why Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Romania Support Separatism in Ukraine.
Poor Saakashvili, no external power wants Maidan-3 he is so eagerly trying to push. Saakashvili outlived his usefulness and he won’t end well (remember my ESR8: Black Sea Gambit predictions about him!). Read: More on the latest 2017 exploits of Saakashvili! and FREE Part 1 of Earth Shift Report 8: Black Sea Gambit: Odessa is the Key!
All the above geopolitical perturbations are rather revealing and interesting. But to truly understand what’s happening, we must dive even deeper!
HOW DOES THE CIA COLOR REVOLUTION & THE INVISIBLE SNIPER TECHNOLOGY WORK?
The color revolution invisible sniper technology is an old one from the CIA playbook. It is designed to pit different factions against each other, when people are shot and killed on both sides by invisible snipers.
First, it is important to understand that the infamous color revolution hidden snipers technique did not work in Russia in 1992, when it was immediately discovered that snipers were shooting from the roof of the US Embassy in Moscow (!), and therefore, the color revolution and civil war intended to finish the destruction of Russia didn’t work. Further, the sniper technique was a complete fiasco in Crimea in the spring of 2014. There was an attempt to begin a war between Russian and Ukrainian troops stationed there, and it failed completely. Why is that? I am happy to say that Russians have learned their lessons, and turned out much smarter and more astute than others, having quickly figured it out in both instances.
Unfortunately, the CIA sniper technique worked wonders of the most gruesome kind during the Kiev Maidan 2014.
It has been proven time and again that the Kiev Maidan was orchestrated and instigated from abroad, as a simultaneous collusion by a number of countries, with strings pulled from one center. I wrote about who was who and who we can easily pinpoint as culprits, in a number of articles and Earth Shift Reports between 2014 and 2017.
There were 2 MAJOR goals in the extensive foreign invasion of the Kiev Maidan:
1. To tear Ukraine away from Russia and create anti-Russia on Russian borders.
Those violent, greedy, naive and undereducated people who created and supported the Kiev Maidan completely missed the point. Most of them absolutely honestly believed that the West, as well as those from post-Soviet space who ‘helped them,’ were there to help Ukraine enter the ‘hospitable family of EU nations’ and to improve the standard of living of Ukrainians. They did discover later that it was nothing of the sort.
The real goal was to weaken Russia the Great Balancer to such a degree that she would not be able to facilitate The Great Earth Shift, which is presently happening before our very eyes. Stopping the Earth Shift was the only way for the outdated Western system to survive. This was the underlying reason behind collapsing the USSR and behind pitting the people of Yugoslavia against each other in the ’90s.
In this scenario Ukraine was designated as cannon fodder in the war against Russia.
2. But there was (and still is!) another hidden goal:
To kill off as many Slavs as possible. If not kill, create such animosity between various branches of the Slavic peoples that there would be no return to past friendship and kinship. Weakening the Slavic connection and re-writing the Slavic genetic code is the primary goal and major objective!
THE SECRET ORDER TO EXTERMINATE SLAVS, ELIMINATE SLAVIC CULTURE & RE-WRITE GENETIC CODE
It has been proven in the past that, as such genetic code and kinship weaken, the populations of many Slavic countries, such as Eastern Slavs and Southern Slavs, become depressed. The result is the gradual diminishing and weakening of the will to live of the population, even if there is no hot war present. This is what happened in post-USSR in the ’90s and in ex-Yugoslavia in the ’90s-2000s.
In the 20th century the Slavic population was the hardest hit of all. WWI and WWII took the biggest toll on Slavs, and of course, more than on anyone, on Russians (including the Belorussian and Ukrainian/Malorussian branches of Russians). The collapse of the USSR and the Yugoslavia civil war took its most recent huge toll. If in mid-20th century Slavic population constituted over 7% of world’s population, right now it is only about 3.5%, and continues declining.
This is very dangerous — read on to see why!
Those of us who travel freely through history and timelines have seen this done previously many times. For example, the genetic code of what we call today ‘western Ukrainians’, who were called ‘Rusyns’ (Rus-ins) in the 19th century, has been drastically altered, generating a poison pill within Ukraine we see manifest today as ukro-nazis.
Or look at the example of Poland, Slavs in name only: the whole country has been sold and re-sold over and over to the highest bidder for centuries, and what’s amazing, Poles are actually proud of it! The brutal civil war and color revolutions which occurred in 1990s-2000s in the Balkans are also in the same category.
Or look at Lithuanians, as only one small example of many: they once used to be Slavs, aka, the Baltic ‘western’ Russians, but they largely forgot their roots. I have to say that not everyone did, as I know there are some Lithuanians who try to remember and keep alive the old Rus affinities. What’s more, large numbers of the population are very much against pro-US Lithuanian president Gribauskaite and her clique, who only stay in power because of the US and EU political backing, military and financial infusions.
These are just the easiest and nearest examples. We could go deeper in history and recall whether Scandinavians are Slavs; how Russian names, despite the completely re-written code of their carriers ended up all over the world; what the words Sweden, Switzerland, Vienna, Rome and London really mean, and much more. But that is some very convoluted forbidden history and linguistics, and a topic for another discussion.
Therefore, there is a wholesale assault against Slavic peoples everywhere, sometimes direct and sometimes hidden and subtle. There has been an effort to make Slavs, as carriers of ancient Forgotten Wisdom and Forbidden History, forget their roots, lose their genetic code and succumb to Westernization.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to weaken and damage beyond repair Russia The Great Balancer by taking away the support from brotherly nations and important and indispensable parts of the Russian population, such as Ukrainians/Malorussians/Rusyns. If Russia The Great Balancer is compromised and weakened to a great degree, they hope it would be easier to do away with the only force that stands in the way of globalism, NWO and Western imperialistic expansionism.
And this brings us to the main point I want to make! Those Slavs who allow themselves to be manipulated against other Slavs, are just dumb, dumb and dumber. This, first of all, concerns Ukraine. It also concerns Poland and Lithuania (a close relative of the Slavs, with easily traced Slavic/Russian roots). But there are others, such as the peoples of the Balkans, who allowed themselves to be pitted in brotherly civil wars throughout the ’90s and who later allowed themselves to be divided and fragmented further. This happened because of pride, ego and greed — all very low calibrations.
It also concerns such closely related to Russians people as Bulgarians, who are completely under the US/EU thumb. Let’s not forget Czechs and Slovaks, Western Slavs with largely the same story.
If the masses refused to allow foreign interests to interfere and pit people against each other, it would have been much harder to execute such adverse scenarios.
My suggestion: get your noses out of you-know-what, look around and figure out who profits from your squabbles and animosity! And understand that the only ones who are losing out are you! Then look at yourselves in the mirror and recall who you are and who you aren’t!
And this brings us to the culmination of this article!
THREE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL COLOR REVOLUTION
This is a brand new part of my EARTH SHIFT THEORY, never shared before. You will likely hear me talk about this in future books and webinars. Today, I want to give you this primer!
I have determined that there are 3 Necessary and Sufficient Ingredients of any color revolution and/or coup. And these are:
- Foreign interference
- Betrayal of the interests of their country by the elites
- Either ignorance, indifference or corruption of the large part of the population, often all 3. The population may be bought, duped and/or simply dumbed down.
If all three are present, then executing any revolt, coup or color revolution is a walk in the park. If only two are present, these are normally Nos. 1 and 2, then the color revolution is much harder, if not impossible, to execute. If only No. 1 is present, in other words, the foreign interference, color revolution is impossible.
STRIKING EXAMPLES:
Ukraine: All three were present at the 2014 Kiev Maidan, and look at the result!
USSR/Russia 1989-1992: All three were present, as a consequence the USSR fell apart and Yeltsin came to power. The population of Russia and USSR as a whole was largely duped.
Russia 2000-2018 and beyond: No. 1 is amply present as relentless and enormous foreign interference in Russia’s politics, economy, finance and social balance. But No. 2 and No. 3 are conspicuously absent. The population has learned from past mistakes, including those of Ukraine and doesn’t fall for it. The elites are refusing to betray their country, no matter how they are seduced and intimidated. And the result is… the opposite of what Western puppeteers were intending! We discuss all that in detail in THE PUTIN ENIGMA!
The very recent examples of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Egypt and some others demonstrate the presence of the No. 1 ingredient only, and partial, or none of No. 2 and No.3 ! Foreign interference is very much present, while No. 2 and No. 3 ingredients are either insignificant or missing. Hence, no success for color revolutions in either of these.
This, in short, is the new segment of the EARTH SHIFT THEORY.
This will be added as an ADDENDUM to THE PUTIN ENIGMA! Please always remember to save the ESW6 Webinar page url, or bookmark it, so you can retain future access to this webinar!
I am considering adding more info, rare videos and links to it in the near future as ADDENDUM at the bottom of the webinar. ESW6 is a living, breathing piece — it may continue growing and expanding!
Please remember that ESW6: THE PUTIN ENIGMA is the last webinar this year! I have released it early to give you a good head start on the beginning of the Russian presidential election cycle! Russian elections will take place in March 2018. ESW6 includes my exclusive predictions for Russian elections, Vladimir Putin, Russia as a whole and some of the Eurasian and world trends, for the next 6 years!
Rest assured, this webinar, as all other Earth Shift Webinars, will serve you as a continuous guidance; these webinars are designed in such a way as to become your beacon at the time of the Great Earth Shift, for years to come! You can always re-listen to them in the future, with a new, higher understanding! Purchase these webinars and enjoy their relevance any time!
THE PUTIN ENIGMA is also the culmination of the Multidimensional Geopolitics Series of 6 webinars. Certification will be announced soon!

Quote from it: Sometimes I hear from my readers that I have a ‘Russian perspective.’ Well, my friends, that’s the most valuable and thought after perspective to have these days, as we are now going through The Great Earth Shift and Russia the Great Balancer is at its forefront. Presently, Russia is dealing with the lopsided chaos created by the West around the world, rebalancing it in a new and revolutionary way. Rest assured, if you are listening to me and my ‘perspective,’ then you’ve got a front row seat for the whole show!

Khazarian Mysteries: What do Russian, Polish, Kossack, Jewish, English and Asian Names Have in Common?
Dear readers, this is the last post of the 3 I promised today. I’m practically on vacation mode and I’ll see you all again next week. Please read, like and share all three of these new posts! Don’t overlook any! This article is of a lighter tone than the other two. See Post 1 and Post 2.
Mysteries of Linguistics: What do Russian, Polish, Serb, Kossack, Jewish, English, Italian and Asian names have in common?
Below is a quote from a comment by a reader. As you know, I love getting comments from you. FuturisTrendcast is dedicated to spreading and uncovering the truth, dispelling lies, illusions, confusions, and disinfo. I do this to educate people. Since many from all over the world read my articles, as well as comments, I usually post reader comments that are in line with this mission. To make sure your comment is posted, please always write what you know to be true and helpful to others. Writing from the heart helps.
Russian, Serbian and Bulgarian surnames usually end with -ev/-ov (e.g: Vorobjov, though there are some Middle-Asian surnames ending with -ev/-ov as well, they are distinguishable if the root of a name is typical Asian)
Surnames ending with -in, -vich, -man, skij/-sky have Jewish connotation (Abramovich, Berezovskij, Waltsman, Zvezdin)
Surnames ending with -ko are typical of Ukraine and Belarus.
During Stalin persecution of Jews in 1930-s, many ethnic Jews married Russians and adopted Russian names to avoid persecution, some are doing it now for political reasons (Poroshenko, who is Valtsman, Turchinov, who is Cogan)
In any case, it is difficult to say if someone is Russian by surname only.
If you speak Russian, have a feel of belonging to Russia, can find a common mood with Russians, people will see you as “ours”, even if your surname is Smith. 🙂
-
Hi, Nemo. You’re correct about the fact that Russians will accept anyone who identifies with the Russian culture and respects it as their own. Hence, the names are secondary to Russians. There are lots of Ukrainians, Armenians, Balts, Germans, Georgians, and even Africans, occupying high positions in Russia.
You’re also correct about Poroshenko and Turchinov’s real names and the reason they changed them to sound Ukrainian.Stalin’s repressions and changing names
Also true: people did change their names through marriage during Stalin’s repressions. However, they didn’t do so because they were Jewish, but rather to avoid association with the family name that had been repressed, regardless of the name origin. For example, my best friend’s grandmother’s family name was Ramzin – a perfectly Russian name (with Turkic roots to be sure). Ramzin was one of the famous oppositioners to Stalin, who was repressed in the 1930s. She married a Jew named Bronfman and became Natalia Ivanovna (a perfectly Russian name) Bronfman (typical Jewish). Of course when we grew up, my friend expressed regret that his grandma didn’t retain her pretty famous in Russia family name. In that case, he used to say longingly, I’d be a Ramzin. He loved telling this story to illustrate that there was no antisemitism in the USSR in the 1930s. Antisemitic problems started in Russia in late 1940s-1950s. Why – that’s a different story.
As to the rest, you are incorrect. I want to keep your comment for the sake of all of my readers, so they could see your point of view. However, I have to correct you.
Ancient ending ‘ov’ and its meaning
Ending ‘ov’ (‘ev’ is just a variation) is the ancient Rus ending. Bulgarian names are of the same origin, hence the same kind of ending. You and others can read my article Words, Spells and Linguistical Traps talking about that under the category Mysteries of Linguistics.
The ending ‘ov’ simply means ‘of’ = ‘belonging to.’ This could be a son of, or belonging to a family, clan, or location. English ‘of’ IS the Russian ‘ov.’ This is one of the original ancient Rus roots. For example, Bolotov, Elfimov, Rosanov, Brezhnev, Gorbachev.
Asian – primarily Muslim – sounding names in Central Asia and Caucasus have the ‘ov’ ending because these are names that have been russified later, during the centuries of these territories being a part of the Russian world. There is no mystery there, just need to have a correct historic perspective.
As to the names ending in ‘in,’ ‘vich,’ ‘sky,’ etc., your statement is unfortunately untrue. I would appreciate everyone on this forum not repeating things that have no scientific or logical basis, and smack of antisemitism. Antisemitism is as bad as rusophobia. I am sure you meant nothing of the sort, but whoever released this hoax first, did (I’ve seen this floating around the net). Such erroneous ‘scientific conclusion’ lacks the elementary understanding of history and language.
Ending ‘in’ throughout the world, and its meaning
In reality: ending ‘in’ is one of the most ancient endings, which can be seen throughout the world in colorful variations. It is so ancient that it predates by far any modern language. Its origins are those of our common Earthly mother tongue. Ending ‘in’ means the same as ‘ov’ – that you belong to something or someone, or are a derivative of something. If you are a son of, or are of a specific tribe or location – you are a derivative of that location, or of that father. Another way of saying this is: you are the in-sider of that family or tribe.
It is used in the ancient Russian names such as Putin, Kalinin, Ramzin. And yes, Rasputin, too.
‘In’ becomes “ing,’ ‘en,’ ‘y’ or even ‘on’ in English, as in Pickering, Dowdy, Lynden, or Clinton (in the olden days it sounded more like ‘Clinten’ or ‘Clintin’); in Germanic languages it becomes ‘ung;’ in Italian it becomes ‘i,’ as in Pallini; in France or Spain it may become ‘ion’ as in Collinion; and in Asia it can be seen in many countries, becoming ‘ing,’ ‘ang,’ or ‘en,’ as in Nguen (Vietnamese).
Which ‘vich,’ and do you want to know Lada’s full name?
Ending “vich’ can be used as ‘ovich,’ ‘vich,’ or ‘ich.’ Russian ‘ovich’ is in reality a composite of two suffixes/endings: ‘ov’ and ‘ich.’ ‘Vich’ (or rather ‘ich’ spelled ‘ic’ – ‘c’ in Slavic languages is often historically pronounced as ‘ch’) is of the very ancient Rus/Slavic origin and is used in Yugoslavian (Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, etc.) names. Means the same exact thing as above: ‘son of,’ = derivative of. ‘Vich’ or ‘ich’ is common to Southern and Eastern Slavs. All of former Yugoslavia (Southern Slavs) uses this ending for their last names. ALL Eastern Slavs (Russians, Belorussians and Ukrainians) use it with EVERY name as well, but differently. In Russia it’s used as a patronymic, not as a traditional last name. Example: Viktor Ivanovich Kuleshov. Or Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. ‘Vladimirovich’ and other patronymics, always used with all FULL Eastern Slavic names and all names on the territory of the Former Soviet Union, including Central Asia, Ukraine, Moldova, Caucasus, mean: son of Vladimir, or… fill in the blank with any other name.
For women: ‘Vladimirovna’ means ‘daughter of.’ Lada is the daugther of Vladimir = Lada Vladimirovna. That’s the truth, actually – I am. 😉 Full names are used in passports, official documents and as a respectful address.
Incidentally, you are also wrong about Serbs using ‘ov’ in their last names – they use ‘ich.’ All inhabitants of the former Yugoslavia, including Serbia, Chernogoria, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia normally have last names ending in ‘ich.’ Some Belorussians have such last names as well.
Bulgarians, on the other hand, have last names ending in ‘ov,’ or ‘ev,’ like Russians. This indicates that Bulgarians have separated from Russians very recently, much more recently than is commonly described in traditional history books. This is to the issue of the distortions of history: this separation is no more than a few centuries old. I suspect, it dates back to as late as 17th century as that’s when massive re-writing of history occurred. In the ancient Russian bylini – chronicles – Russian bogatyrs (knights, heroes, protectors) had last names ending in ‘ovich.’
The well-known painting below by Victor Vasnetsov (1898) ‘Tri Bogatyria’ – ‘The Three Bogatyrs’ depicts the famous historic bogatyrs and heroes of ancient bylini: Ilya Moromets, Dobrynia Nikitich and Alyosha Popovich.
Ending ‘ov’ is a more recent ending. Sometimes ‘ich’ was cut off from ‘ovich,’ forming a shorter name. As a result, Popovich could become Popov.
The fun part: Did you know that English word ‘which,’ is in fact ‘vich’ …well, with English accent. That is because it comes from the same root. ‘Which’ means exactly the same as ‘vich’: ‘belonging to what or whom,’ as in: Which book do you want? Which of these towns are you from? Which lord’s son are you?
Ending ‘sky’
A lot of what I said above applies to the ending ‘sky.’ It means ‘from’ or ‘of.’ This ending was used primarily by Poles, and by Russians. Belorussky means from Belarus. Moskovsky means from Moscow.
‘Sky’ can denote noble origin, as in the famous Russian princes: Prince Volkonsky and Prince Obolensky. Prince Obolensky happens to be the true historic name of one of the main characters of Gold Train (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure).
Kossacks and the ending ‘ko’
As to the ending ‘ko,’ it indeed denotes Ukrainian origin, sometimes Belorussian as well. But in reality, this ending is a Kossack ending. ‘Cossack’ is normally spelled with a ‘c’ in English. But leaving aside the fact that ‘c’ is simply wrong here, I also want to make a point by spelling it with its authentic ‘k.’ You’ll see the point below.
Kossacks everywhere, including in the Russian Urals and Siberia (very far from Ukraine), have names ending in ‘ko.’ Therefore, this ending is not Ukrainian; it is Kossack. Kossack history is very interesting and complicated. I will discuss it in a dedicated article soon. Until then, just this: because so many Kossacks settled in what is now Ukraine, their typical name ending became eventually fashionable with Ukrainians, and Ukrainian names more and more began ending in ‘ko’ as in Volochko, Shevchenko, Pestushko.
But here is the clincher: ‘ko’ was initially ‘kov’ – here is this ‘ov’ again! During a couple of last centuries, ‘v’ was gradually dropped. ‘Kov’ is a variation of ‘ov,’ as in Volochkov, Naboykov, Pestushkov, Shevchenkov, Kochetkov. Usually, names ending in ‘kov,’ as well as ‘ko’ are of Kossack origin. ‘Kov’ is diminutive compared to ‘ov.’ As in ‘of lesser importance.’
Nobles had names ending only in ‘ov,’ never ‘kov’ or ‘ko.’ Examples: Countess Rosanov(a) – the name of the main character of Gold Train (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure). Or Elfimov – family name of the main character of The Earth Shifter.
On another note:
Prussian names end in ‘ov,’ denoting their ancient Russian origin, as in the fashionable towns near Berlin: Beeskov and Bukov, where my German friends reside. P-russia of course was Po-russia (flat Russia) well before it became German. Not to get off topic, but look at the name of the capital of Germany: Berlin. Ber – bear (a Russian symbol no less) with the ending ‘in’ = belonging to the bear, ‘of the bear.’ How interesting. More about that in: Words, Spells and Linguistical Traps.
The Jewish names and Polish pani
What ending Jewish names received depended of what geographic area within Slavic (and before that, ancient Rus) world they had originated from – where they lived for centuries. Oftentimes, Jews, like peasants living on the territory of a certain lord in Ukraine (today’s territory of Ukraine is where most Jews traditionally settled), would oftentimes be referred to by that lord’s last name. ‘Sky’ means ‘belonging to,’ so these Ukrainian peasants, or local Jews, belonged to, or were subordinate to, say, pan Vishnevetsky, or another similar pan (lord). Apparently, there was a “pan Kolomoysky” at one point, resulting in the last name of the infamous Jewish-Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoysky, who is trying to create a fiefdom out of the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk, and who has a lot of blood on his hands.
‘Sky’ was popular in Ukraine as most lords (or ‘pani’ in Polish) were of Polish origin. In Polish ‘sky’ is spelled as ‘ski.’ Vishnevetski, Pilsudski – Pilsudsky, Sikorski – Sirkosky, like the inventor of the helicopter Igor Sikorsky.
The Khazarian mystery
To wrap this up, I’ll just drop another historical bomb. Many people know that the ethnic origin of the Eastern European Jews is primarily Khazarian, or non-Semitic. Ancient Khazarians were the population of the south Russian, and what is now Ukraine and Novorossia, stepps. Khazarian history is very complicated, but I’ll just say that they were a part of the Rus heritage, albeit its southern manifestation. Because of the many malicious and ignorant re-writings of history, some links are lost. However, the ancient Skiffs (Scythians) and Khazars are parts of the same massive Arian Eurasian Rus culture.
But here is my bomb: Kossacks are the heirs of Khazarians (note how similar these two words are in Russian: Kazak and Khazar). As we established previously, so are most Jews on the planet. As Kossacks are quite the opposite of the Jews in so many ways, it’s interesting how this happened. But that’s the story for another article. Stay tuned!
That’s it for today’s journey into the mysteries of language and history. For more on this, please follow my future posts and special reports in which I will peel off more truths.
P.S. A bit more clarification to answer some reader questions:
Although presently the Russian word for bear is ‘medved’: literally “the one who knows about honey,” the ancient Rus/mother tongue for bear was ‘ber’ – hence the Russian word for bear den: ‘ber-loga.’ ‘Ber’ is one of the most ancient words.
‘Log’ is another mother tongue root and it is visible in many languages. ‘Log’ means anything to do with being horizontal or settled. Like ‘lodging’ in English or ‘logovo’ in Russian: cave, underground dwelling, hiding place. Russian ‘log’ means a trunk of wood – obviously a horizontals item, when layed down or set as part of the wall of a dwelling. English word ‘long’ also comes from this root. Russian ‘lozhitsia’ – ‘to lie down’ is obvious too.
Berlin: from ‘ber’ + ”log’ + ‘in.” Literally means ‘in the bear den.’ Incidentally, the capital of Switzerland is called ‘Bern.’
