Do you think there will be an increase of polygyny in Ukraine and Russia following the war?

This is question is what motivates me. I am from Ukraine and I already feeling the need to fight against Russism. Since I did not join in that effort I think my contribution will be teaching polygyny to Christians. I am intending to move that after Ukrainian victory.
I am intending to move there after Ukrainian effort.
I started channel to share with Ukrainians truth of polygyny.
Sounds like this needs the @PeteR treatment.
Good plan. There will be great need there following the war, and if you can make this information available in the Ukrainian language you may make a real difference in the lives of some people. This may turn out to be the major mission field of your life. Who else is there spreading this message specifically to Ukraine? I would guess almost nobody.
One day I hope to reach level of quality and presentation of @PeteR . I have something to aim for. I am learning much from him.
I am sure you are right. and I would not mind if someone else with teaching skills will start doing it too. Plus my Ukrainian abilities are quite limited because after 25 years of living in USA, Ukrainian vocabulary level is insufficient but I trust God will use it.
This is my hope.
Get ready for them to be either the equivalent of war brides or airlifted to the U.S. to immediately be placed on welfare at a rate too tempting to ever leave.

Good for you that you're willing to put yourself out there to teach God's Truth.
I'm betting @PeteR writes at least an outline of what he's going to say in advance, then practices it before making the video he ultimately releases.
Also, I don't know if they have them everywhere, but in Pittsburgh there are many Ukrainian, etc., 'social clubs' frequented by Ukrainian immigrants. You might start speaking at such places as well.

@Transformator Reformator, although I can't understand Ukrainian, from a presentation perspective I'd suggest for the next video:
- Put your camera on a tripod, or anything that will hold it, whatever you have lying around. Even if that's attaching your phone/camera to a branch using a clamp from the workshop or some tape. Then you don't have to think about it, and it won't wobble around distractingly, you can just stand in a relaxed manner and talk. This will cost nothing and actually be much easier.
- Don't write out every word you intend to say and read it. Only write very brief notes just reminding you of the key points you want to make (and any key Ukrainian words you need to use which you are worried you might forget), which you can glance at only if you get stuck. Then simply talk about those things to the camera as if you're having a casual conversation with a normal person. You might find you never even look at your notes, but having them there will make you more confident. Given you're rusty in the language this will be more difficult than if you were fluent, and you will find yourself having to refer to your notes a lot at first, but just do the talk several times (maybe over several days) and you'll say it differently and slightly more fluently each time. Once you've got a video that sounds reasonably fluent use that one.
Good suggestions above. I'll add that after doing a podcast for a year, and making monthly to weekly guest appearances on podcasts and youtube channels, the main thing you need to know is you will suck terribly at first and that's ok. Just don't worry about it. Keep on working on it and you will get a lot better as time goes on. Your first videos will be awful, and you'll be embarrassed, forget about it. Just doing something is better than most people because most everyone does nothing with their lives. So keep on pressing forward and take any suggestions you can get as help in the right direction.
Thank you for your encouragement and great suggestions.

I heard today they are now drafting women ages 18-60 and talking of lowering the qualifiying age limit for both men and women.
If the Ukrainian government (and their globalist puppet masters) is truly sending women into the meat grinder of war, that is another indication of their utter depravity. This type of evil is almost unheard of in human history. The King of Heaven sees and will judge righteously.

It does make one wonder how The Most High is going to handle the daughters he has over there. I've had a dream about my wife and I escaping Ukraine, traveling by train out of the country while under fire. At the end of the track we met up with a girl who was organizing the escapes in the beginning who was supposed to come home with us. In the beginning of the dream when they were organizing the escapes, the organizers were chosing families they would leave with.

Something more than improving the female/male ratio is going to be required to move the needle of women rejecting polygyny, because almost every culture on Earth other than China (because of its previous longstanding one-child policy) has significantly more single women than single men.
Common sense must prevail no matter how ruling class tries otherwise.
Demographic change plus massive economic collapse?
