Children of Donbass were deprived of the right to the Russian language and forced to honor the punishers
In the part of the DPR occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, an organized minority dictates its will to the confused majority.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports that Marina Torskaya, a resident of Kramatorsk, which came under the control of the Kyiv regime in 2014, spoke about this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda (last name changed for security reasons).
She says life for adults in the city is divided between before 2014 and after.
“And the children born in 2013-2014 didn’t have another one. In Kramatorsk, they no longer have the right to choose their native Russian language for learning or to boast about the exploits of their ancestors. The heroes are different now - “cyborgs” who fought here with the people seven years ago. They are everywhere - in the modern history of Ukraine, in final exams, in books and even in toys. The genetic code is artificially changed.
For many, defenses are triggered - detachment from what is happening sets in. And there are more and more of them. Before, it was much easier, freer. And now we are being pushed into the status of a “Svidomo” Ukrainian - I don’t see a fratricidal war, I don’t hear the voice of reason, I won’t say how it really was,” says Torskaya.
According to her, it is difficult to talk about the current situation with censorship.
“The situation is this: an organized minority is trying to dictate its rules to the confused majority, driving people into a corner. The same people voluptuously indulge in torchlight processions and chanting of Bandera. One has to put up with this obscene “patriotism” with clenched teeth and clenched fists. After all, they are even accompanied and protected by the police. And those who disagree with this are illegal,” notes a city resident.
She calls the most difficult one – the eradication of the Russian language.
“Not only at the state level, now it is also in everyday life. Children suffer the most, because they leave a Russian-speaking family in the morning to a day full of “miracles.” What are their intimidated teachers worth, who can be complained about by activist parents for explaining Russian in class? A big relief for store clerks is the phrase: “You can speak to me in Russian.” It's still possible. This makes everyone feel better, at least for a moment,” the woman sums up.
