Igor Sikorskyi was born in the capital of Ukraine, in the city of Kyiv

He was born in the soviet Ukraine so he was Russian

Rudolf Schreiber he was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. The Soviet Union didn’t even exist at that time he was born.

@@vitaliimykhailiv4755 he was born in the Russian empire and prior to moving to the u.s considered himself russian look I'm no fan of modern day Russia but this time he's right

@@spartanx9293 I said everything I had to. Have nothing to add.

@@vitaliimykhailiv4755 he’s Russian and viewed himself as Russian not Ukrainian

He didn't invent the helicopter he only mass produced it

It was not Ukraine at that time, and majority of population of Kiev were Russians, those defined themselves as Ukrainians mostly stayed on the western border of what is known as modern Ukraine. And it doesn't matter anyways, because you got nothing to do with that anyways.

@@surveysergei3209 it's called disinformation . Russia has always tried to be in control of Ukraine. We are just putting truth out there.

@@whenthemorningstarssangtogxrxs no wrong, Kiev at the time was part of the Russian Empire, Sikorsky identified as a Russian not a Ukrainian. All you are doing is trying to use this mans name to further a political cause.

@@surveysergei3209 ... "anyways??

Take some pictures and post it on a historical aviation site. They'll probably tell you if it real, and where it was on the craft down to the square inch, lol. Just in case, try to refrain from handling it with bare hands. The natural oils in your skin might damage it further.

He is russian!

Igor Sikorsky : “My family is of Russian origin. My grandfather and other ancestors from the time of Peter the Great were Russian Orthodox priests. Consequently, the Russian nationality of the family must be considered as well established”

@@user-mx4to6fz9h he is Ukrainian, even born and live in Ukraine and he escape country to be not catched by soviets. He study all in Kyiv university Kyiv Politech

@@PhantomO799 He was born in Ukraine, but this does not mean that the person is Ukrainian. And in general, he was born in the Russian Empire. I have already quoted Sikorsky 's words above: “My family is of Russian origin. My grandfather and other ancestors from the time of Peter the Great were Russian Orthodox priests. Consequently, the Russian nationality of the family must be considered as well established”

@@user-mx4to6fz9h нахуй кацапський фашист

Did you check his birth certificate or something? He might have been jewish or russian.

@@surveysergei3209 Sikorsky wrote 2 books about his Orthodox CHRISTIAN faith. And said that he came from a Russia family. Not Ukrainian.

Not

HE WAS RUSSIAN!!!!!!!

@@Yair44 it is only your dream...slava ukrajini!

@@ukrajina2022 Hahahahaha it's written in his biography. His father was a Russian nationalist, Sikorsky was a member of monarchist organizations and he apparently hated Ukrainian nationalism.

It was invented in usa not Russia dude that created goes to usa 🇺🇸

@@qxdso yuh..In USA by Russian guy.. yuh thats what I said... US did not do anything their own.. What US does is robbing.. just like how they robbed atomic bomb from Nazis in ww2 and tested it dropping japan..

@@qxdso Yes, the USA was always pretty smart when it comes to accept certain types of immigrants and capitalize on their intellectual property. For them is qualified immigration, for the rest of us is brain drain.

@@isuruthiwanka9448 what the fuck? it was his choice to move to america. HIS CHOICE. HIS INVENTION. he hated communism.

No he was Russian, he identified as such, Kiev when it was part of Russia. He is not Ukrainian and never identified as such.

John Majane he was born and spent his childhood in Kyiv. Although his family had russian roots, he talked with pleasure about his hometown and the uni he studied in - KPI.

Ukraine didn't exist when Sikorsky was born so he's Russian

Davide Merceni he’s a Ukrainian man. He was born in Kyiv, Ukraine

@airport2000 r u fucking kidding me Firstly, he was Born in KYIV (not KIEV!), which is the capital of Ukraine at present We don’t say that people who were born in Roman Empire are it’s residents like forever even after it collapsed Secondly, believe me the question with the Ukrainian language is changing for the better I come from Lviv which is totally spoken Ukrainian Right now I live in Kyiv and it’s like 3/10 people speak Ukrainian while others speak russian Compared to the last 30 years that’s a huge success since in the past the center of Ukraine and it’s Eastern part spoke totally russian say no more about Sikorsky’s true origins

Russian monarhyst

Russian🇷🇺

From Russia...

Igor Sikorsky : “My family is of Russian origin. My grandfather and other ancestors from the time of Peter the Great were Russian Orthodox priests. Consequently, the Russian nationality of the family must be considered as well established”

He said "first SINGLE rotor helicopter" FW 61 had two rotors. The guy also said "it was the first one invented in the US".

Yes but it was far more primitive than the Sikorsky

And he was Russian.
