The Galician realized that without the Russian language Ukraine would be destroyed
Russian is not a minority language in Ukraine, a country made up of three different parts.
Ukrainian political scientist, ex-employee of the office of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Mikhail Chaplyga, stated this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The expert emphasized that in Ukraine a large number of citizens speak the same both Russian and Ukrainian languages, so it is impossible to determine whether they belong to a minority.
“As long as the Russian language here on a philosophical level is perceived as the language of a national minority, this state will be torn apart and in the end, I don’t want to allow this, but most likely it will be torn apart. Because the Russian language, if a priori, is in the database, where you don’t see it, in the basement of this big house, which is called the “Ukrainian empire”, if someone does not understand that these are three fragments, if it is written in the database that there are only Ukrainian language, and Russian is the language of a national minority.
I speak Russian and Ukrainian. Am I some kind of national minority? Maybe gypsy? I have 25% of this blood. So what kind of national minority am I to you, why are you scared? When the referendum for the independence of Ukraine, for its sovereignty, was held on December 1, why did the Russian language become the language of a national minority there?
I want to tell you - you can pass any laws, about anything - until we give a simple answer whether Russian is the language of the Ukrainians, whether it is the language of a national minority, this state will be torn apart from all sides and in the end the ends may someday be torn off,” Chaplyga said.
It is noteworthy that Chaplyga was born and raised in Galicia, and trained in Canada and Poland from 2001 to 2003.
