My Wife and her family (obviously) are Ukrainian. Her and all the cousins and younger generations were born here, but the aunts uncles, etc. are all FOB. Hard work is all they know. There is no time for fun, it must be morose, hard labor. No smiling, and if you have the energy to laugh or cut it up you are not working hard enough. If you have any free time it must be spent at church, or plowing something by hand.
Are Russians about the most unhappy looking people ever?
