WOW! Didn't know if there were ukrainians in ND. Now I do. I am part ukrainian as my mother's parents were born in Kiev and then came to Killdeer to raise their family.
I know your post is a couple years old now but I would like an update to your status if you don't mind. You see I am an American married to Ukrainian and we have three sons ages 3 months to 7 years. I work in the oil & gas industry and recently started working in western North Dakota. I am staying in my 5th wheel in Stanley while my wife and kids wait for their immigration visa. Once they get their visas we have to plan on where we will set up house-keeping and that may well be here in North Dakota. I am sure it would ease my wife's transition if she had someone from her home country to talk to once in awhile.
BTW: My wife is from the Donetsk Region so she speaks predominantly Russian. She tells me she wouldn't be welcomed in the western part of Ukraine but I imagine all that regional differences would be totally forgotten over here.
Hi! I wounder if you family maid to USA? I am russian my hubby an american we were iving in Williston, ND, we have 2 kids 6 and almost 4 y.o. I know couple girls here from Russia too. So if your wife home sick or want to chat let me know.
Good luck.
I am of Poland, it is also a Slavic country, Catholic though. I bought a house in Central ND and moving there soon, Chicago too hot for me, can't stand summers over here. There are many Ukrainians in Chicago, some of them speak FLUENT Polish, like my neighbour Iryna (uffff).
It's not ND, but in Erskine, MN (about 60 miles east of Grand Forks on Hwy 2) there is a community of Russian Old Believers. They have a bakery in town, and farms outside of town. My parents sometimes get fresh vegetables from there.
I have a friend who speaks both lang. she is from Ukraine. She would enjoy very much to meet someone too. her name is Svitlana contact me on my email to find more info. [Mod cut]

Hey, very useful thread. I'm glad someone dug it up. My fiance is Russian and she is not too keen on me going to North Dakota, but this might help things a little bit.
I have a builder friend here in Minot that is Russian. There is no doubt from the accent and name. Great person to know.
