I've edited it to try to make it less US-centric - Wikipedia in English is not an American encyclopedia and Paska is a living Eastern European tradition, not a tradition of some mythical "Old Europe" that was brought to the USA where it lives on. Also, there are Eastern European immigrant populations in countries other than the USA, including the UK and Canada where this bread is also eaten.
It would be nice if someone who knows about this could add sections about this bread in specific countries e.g. Poland and Ukraine and perhaps in the UK and Canada as well.

I've removed this section:
"The symbolism of the Paska derives from the male-centered pagan fertility rites of spring. It is customary when meeting a fellow Eastern European christian to declare "Jesus resurected" while simultaneously presenting the phallic bread as a gift. Attention given to the background of the Paska is scrutinized about as heavily as the background of the Easter Bunny bringing Easter Eggs."
The context of the last line is totally irrelevant given the otherwise small scope of the topic. Greater contextualization of the history of the paska is required before the this topic should be brought up. Citations/references are also required. Colloquial language should also be edited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yakym (talk • contribs) 04:31, 18 April 2006

I propose that Cheese paska be merged into this article, as it appears that cheese paska is either a subtype of paska, or describes paska served with cheese. --Joel7687 (talk) 14:05, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Лобачев Владимир: Hey you've been editing this page a while, can you clarify why you removed the Trypillian link in your last edit? (I'm not super invested, but clearly it's been here a while so I was curious if it was incorrect or misleading.) Ogress 16:30, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
you really create some problems which have more to do with you than with the subject i think. i have seen that you have added Ukraine as a country of origin to Pirozhki and Blini, two typical Russian dishes. i and others leave it that way because of the complicated history and its heritage which belongs often to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Paska is a bread tradition in Russia since ancient times and Kulich is one of the dishes of Paska breads. if you continue to ignore that and introduce an edit war here, it will spread to other articles. if you refer to international recipes of western world then you forget the point of authentic cultural fact and the truth behind it. Paska is one of the biggest holidays in Russia and there are several Paska breads in Russia. what you are doing is ok ? you take purely Russian culture with Blini and Pirozhki, but don't want to share an article to a subject which refers to many countries traditions ?
Paska is not solely Ukrainian, I'm sure plenty of people there make enjoy it there but I have never known it to be Ukrainian. My family is from Russia and every Easter we make paska, we also refer to it as "Russian Easter bread". I have never been to Russia, nor do I know just how common paska is there, but I think the wikipedia page should acknowledge It's somewhat Russian origins. I don't know my way around wikipedia editing and past pages, so I don't know when paska became known on here as being Ukrainian, but I have my assumptions. I just hope someone can sort this out and make it as accurate as it should be. Thanks. 208.74.106.12 (talk) 07:23, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The Paska was made long before even ukraine ever existed! It is an italian cake! Must have been around the gothic period. StopFakinThisShit (talk) 22:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
