Tracing the roots — Ukr/Rus

Born in Donetsk — a city in eastern Ukraine with a predominantly Russian-speaking population, deeply embedded in Russian culture — Taras Kul grew up immersed in Soviet and Russian culture before emigrating to the US. His channel name and persona play on Russian-American cultural collision, which is both his brand and his genuine lived experience.
