de-Russification of Ukraine

I also have a question for people here: Why this is bad? I mean in reality de-russification == de-colonization , so why this is bad? Im' living in Ukraine, and never seen that people were forbidden to speak russian. But yeah, new generations should learn their own language, not some imperialistic and colonial "языГ". So this is like: you are allowed to speak russian, but your children will be ukrainian speaker, if you don't want so you could leave to russia.

...

Wow, yeah, that's not racist at all.

Ofc not. This is called "decolonization". The same things happens in Africa or in New Zeland with maori. Russian is not the natural language to ukrainians, this is colonial language which was forced to learn by force. So it's normal that country want to leave colonial past behind. If someone want, he can learn russian by himself or in private schools.

And yeah, russian this is not "regional language". Regional language is the language of minority nations which doesn't have their own countries. In Ukraine this is crimean tatar or gagauzi (minority nation near Moldova). And yeah, we need to help them to safe their culture.

For starters, it’s generally worth remembering that the so-called “Russian language” appeared around the 18th century. Many will be surprised, but if you read historians of the 17th-18th centuries who traveled through the Muscovite lands, then it is often mentioned there that "the local people speak a strange Turkic dialect and wear Turkic robes." There are enough corresponding engravings in their memoirs. It is quite enough to look at the real Slavic peoples, their clothes, and their language. And when the Moscow ulus finally decided to impersonate supposedly Slavs, then a synthetic language was far-fetched, where Turkisms still pop up in almost every sentence. Well, the concept of barbarian tribes since the time of the Mongol-Tatar "yoke" has remained the same in Muscovy - to destroy the local culture of the enslaved peoples, history, replacing it with a fictional one, while doing everything to destroy historical documents, carriers of history, LANGUAGE, and everything , which is a kind of unifying heritage. And still nothing has changed. Just remember the words of the bald scum "the Russian world is where there is a Russian language." What thanks to him - now the majority of Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine come to the conclusion that the so-called "Russian language" simply should not be in the law, because. is a weapon of terror and an instrument of war.

Threat I was in the southern regions for a week, I just arrived, I will say - I did not expect such a change in the mentality of the local population! The population - which had always been quite calm about Russia and the Russians before. The reason for this is simple - from the 30-50s of the last century, the south and east of Ukraine actively, forcibly replaced the indigenous Ukrainian population with people from the western outskirts of the Moscow ulus.
So, today these people, I will not fantasize that 100%, but the total majority say that the only enemy is Russia and the inhabitants of Russia. Not Russian by nationality, namely the inhabitants of Russia. So it was the bald scum and the inhabitants of Russia, to the squeals of "we are one people" (funny fantasy), that made Ukrainians blood enemies for centuries.
Well, to finish positively - wait for cool news from the south in the near future, believe me, it will be a lot of fun!
