When I grew up in Ukraine in the city of Oonetsk, there were people of various nationalities living there.
Their 10 certificates had the word 'Russian,' 'Ukraine,' 'Georgian,' 'Kozaki,' it wasn't that important and there wasn't much of a difference. One thing was important - if it had the word 'Jewish' written on it, that would be as if you had some disease.
We knew nothing about Judaism, except antisemitism and hatred towards us.
That's why no one tried to replace...
