Interesting. I did not watch the series. But Petra is not a Ukrainian name. I have been living in Ukraine my whole life, and I don't know a single woman named Petra. Haven't encountered this name in works of literature either.
And yes, I do have a strong accent. When I first heard myself speaking English on a video, I thought it would be best not to open my mouth again ever :)
Did not watch that , or any other Netflix series. But, I can say that Russian women are highly regarded as hard and good working ( in Switzerland, where I had few collegues from Russia), well mannered and well educated. Had no encounters with Ukrainian ladies.
I live next door, in Canada, to two Ukrainian families—refugees from the conflict. They dress soberly, work hard, and do their best to be good neighbours. The Russian diaspora here is the same.
