Poplavsky boasts: In a year we are turning the Russians of Crimea and Donbass into mankurts
Students from Crimea and Donbass switch from Russian to Ukrainian during the year of study at the Kiev National University of Culture and Arts. Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, famous artist and rector of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts Mikhail Poplavsky boasted about this on TV channel 112, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Poplavsky, students are not forced to abandon their native language, but “conditions are created” so that they accept Ukrainization.
“I want to tell you that those who come from Donbass, from Crimea, who study at the University of Culture, in the second year they speak exclusively Ukrainian.
Today we do not force them - we set the conditions that if you want to make a career in Ukraine, the state language must be Ukrainian. And today there can be no other thoughts.
There are languages of national minorities, we also need to work with them, there are regions that should be given an opportunity, there is no need to speculate on this. But the Constitution says “Ukrainian language”. Dot. The state language,” Poplavsky said.
