Ukraine does have a considerable history of antisemitism, and stuff like this is taken very seriously. For reference: Between 1882 and 1951, there have been 3,437 African Americans lynched in the United States, and between 1917 and 1941 40,000 to 70,000 Jews were killed in pogroms in the Ukraine. Probably explains why my great grandparents made tracks for the other side of the continent shortly after 1900.
