If you noticed, we have Odessa flags on our houses everywhere, and public transport is painted in the same colors. And in schools it is compulsory to teach the Russian language. Even in Ukrainian-language classes. Ninth-graders take a Russian dictation during exams. Universities also teach in Russian. It turned out to be such a state within a state within the framework of decentralization,” the Maidan activist is indignant.
