please change russian-American to Ukrainian-American.
He himself wrote that he was ethnically Ukrainian, and already in the United States, after the Second World War, he considered himself that way. Although before that he admitted that the Ukrainians are part of Russia, because then they captured it.
The fact that Russia has always appropriated Ukrainian figures (Korolyov, Malevich) and the fact that today it continues to destroy the country gives every reason to give the appearance of Ukrainian origin of famous people. Валерия Гарвилюк (talk) 19:26, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not a reliable source for Sikorsky's nationality. How could it be!! BilCat (talk) 19:55, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kiev, Russian empire, born to Russian-Belarusian parents, considered himself Russian. lets say Saint Petersburg breaks off of Russian for some reason, would every Russian that was born there long before this happened now be considered a Petersburgian? Vamlov (talk) 19:47, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually Sikorsky is Ukrainian. This is evidenced by Igor Sikorsky himself in a letter written in English to Vasyl Halych on August 30, 1933: "My family, which originally is from a village in the Kyiv region where my grandfather and great-grandfather were priests, is of purely Ukrainian origin…" This is probably the only known document signed by Igor Sikorsky, in which he speaks of his ethnicity. 178.133.64.170 (talk) 13:36, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
