Well wouldn’t it be of the US and Russia? Even though Horowitz lived in the US for a long time I would still think of him as Russian

@@eweetor who cares, Ukraine was not independent or soveirgn rebublic during the time he lived there (Ukraine only became independent on 1991), it was part of the Russian Empire, he's a Russian-Jew, and there is a video of him where he acctualy spoke some Russian with a relative of his when he came to Moscow. He doesn't even speak Ukranian, which I technicaly consider to be a dialect or branch language of Russian language.
