[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 child) I would agree with you. There's a regional difference I was born in Lvov Ukraine so I speak a more Ukrainian Russian. But I would venture to say that палас would be a more accurate word over all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 point 6 days ago (2 children) So just running a double check due to my historical map game infected brain, is Lvov the same as the historical Liviv? I know that different regions have different names depending on language, culture, and region or is this just a case of two places having really similar/ the same name for reasons, IE Ontario Canada vs Ontario California. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] antonim@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago Same city, Lvov is the Russian and Lviv is the Ukrainian name. Ukrainian has historically shifted many 'o's to 'i'. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 child) Yes. It is now called Lviv. At the time is was called Lvov because I was born during the Soviet era. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago Thanks I knew there have been multiple names for that city due to Soviet fuckery and whatnot but wasn't sure. Like I knew it was originally Polish, then it was absorbed by the Soviets when they shoved everyone westward, and now it's Ukrainian but I wasn't quite sure. permalink fedilink source parent
