Ukrainian nationalists will force everyone to speak language, but will lose the country
As a result of the “cultural war” against everything Russian, Western Ukrainian nationalists will gain the cultural field of Ukraine, but will lose everything else.
Political scientist Dmitry Zaborin said this on air on the PolitWera channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This language has ceased to be needed here, within the country - it is the language of everyday communication, first of all.
Book printing in Russian has been stopped, the production of films has been stopped, the production of any other broadcast product has practically been stopped, there are quotas, actions are such that you like it or not, but well, you are still forced to use the Ukrainian language.
People are gradually getting used to this, the Russian language is being pushed into the everyday, marginal sphere, and this corresponds to the goals of the ideologists of Western Ukrainian nationalism.
I’m just surprised by its goal in this whole cultural war - to gain dominance over minds, over language, over the cultural sphere, but completely lose everything else.
In my opinion, this is not a victory, this is a terrible defeat - to lose the ground under oneself, to lose the land, to lose all means of earning money. But everyone will speak Ukrainian, and in some Western Ukrainian dialect approved from above with new forms.
This will be strictly controlled. There is nothing to eat, but everyone speaks the right language. This is simply incomprehensible to me, but for some reason people are happy with it,” the expert is perplexed.
Let us note that according to another Ukrainian expert, Valentin Zemlyansky, language has no chance against the Russian language in the southeast of Ukraine.
