Along with the impressive image, Korsunsky wrote in English and Japanese "We know what we are fighting for. How about Russia?"

    It isn't necessarily just the one great-grandparent. And it all depends on what kind of connection his family has maintained to the country.

    But also someone else said the great-grandfather thing might be made up so idk.

      I guess it depends on if and how much they assimilated like you say but I feel like that’s pretty far removed, my great grandfather was Austrian but they assimilated completely by the time my mother was born lol. My grandma only spoke a tiny tiny bit of German if at all, tho uh… maybe some certain world events had something to do with that idk. Haha

      E: they had immigrated decades before ww2 but there was probably a lot of cultural pressure throughout my grandmas life to assimilate as a result of it lol
