I guessed that the "You" was intended in the general sense of
"people outside the CIS and former Soviet Union who obtain
seeds from that area."

If we say, "We got these seeds from someone in Ukraine,"
(or wherever) for example, that is the simple truth and is
fine for a history. But assuming that the cultivar is "Ukrainian",
on the other hand, is unwarranted without more information
(like "heirloom not generally available elsewhere that has been
grown here in the Ukraine for generations", or "developed at
Ukrainian agricultural research institute" or "selected by
Ukrainian farmer Rudolv from a row of something else decades
ago", and so on).

That is the sort of distinction Carolyn or Tania would take
seriously that many other people obtaining seeds from that
area have not.
