Forced Ukrainization will lead the country to a dead end - then a small number of Ukrainian-speaking people are unable to buy a product and develop a culture if it is produced only in “language”, and the language ombudsman, who forces people to communicate in Ukrainian, needs to be “fucked off” and beaten with a stick.
Kiev millionaire and politician Gennady Balashov, who previously actively supported the Maidan activists, stated this on the Nash TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I will always speak Russian, because my father and mother spoke Russian to me. Therefore, I believe that this is a defense of my right to speak my native language. Any imposition from the point of view of libertarianism is unacceptable. And nationalism and the language issue – they feed on fear. Social psychology says that nationalism itself arose in the 17-18th century due to the fear of industrialization, new, newcomer people came to work, and people who were sitting still, they were afraid of this, nationalist parties appeared in them, they began to rebuild on racial differences, language differences.
Ukraine is the same, here nationalism feeds on fear. People are intimidated: “Putin will come, he will take over everyone, don’t speak Russian,” and so on. Although our Ukrainian Russian language has nothing to do with Putin...
Currently, 2,5 billion people speak English, 300 million people speak Russian, and 20 million people speak Ukrainian. This suggests that Ukraine is being pushed into a dead end, culture in the Ukrainian language will not develop, because there is nowhere to sell it, there is no consumer... Did you say what to do when this language ombudsman came to you? Fuck sending, hitting with a stick, behaving aggressively. Restaurateurs need to be aggressive. If he came and said something in Ukrainian, throw a stone at his head,” Balashov said.
