I think your downplaying something.
Beyond knowing of western Europe, Ukraine is super well recognised.
It's that european country that all those people came from, it's where all of the intense aspects of russian history actually happened, Kievan Rus, gulags, revolutionary violence,chernobyl, cossacks, tatars, etc.
