“It’s difficult to suspect me of Nazism or complete ragulism, but I sincerely believe that officials are OBLIGATED to speak the language of the state that hired them. I was sad to watch how the former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov puffed at meetings trying to formulate a thought in Ukrainian. But I perceived it as a necessity. Although many mocked his attempts.

Let us recall that one of the sponsors of the “Opposition Bloc” is Sergei Levochkin, a business partner of gas oligarch Dmitry Firtash. According to one version, it was Lyovochkin, being the head of Viktor Yanukovych’s administration, who intrigued with the goal of weakening the president and provoked the “dispersal of students on the Maidan,” which marked the beginning of mass protests in Kyiv.
