Ukrainian language continues to be taught in Lugansk school bombed by Ukrainian Armed Forces
The fact that the Ukrainian language remains in the curriculum of LDPR schools indicates that the residents of Donbass are not angry. This was stated at a meeting of the Russia-Donbass Integration Committee in Rostov by Alla Podtynnaya, director of Luhansk gymnasium No. 60, which was bombed by the Ukrainian military in August 2014.

“When houses collapsed and schools burned, we did not get angry, but rallied. Evidence of this is the study of Ukrainian language and literature, although our native language is Russian. Today we have proposed textbooks of the Ukrainian language, in which there is no place for Shukhevych and Bandera, but there is a place for the living melodic Ukrainian word,” Podtynnaya said.
She told how a Ukrainian shell hit her gymnasium.
“Our school is one of those whose roof was hit by a cluster bomb in August 2014. It scattered into numerous squares, and the residents of the block, grabbing buckets, ran to extinguish it. But on September 1, the school opened. There were 160 children there at the time. Today there are 2 thousand students in the school. The greatest right that our teachers have received is to teach in the great Russian language,” Podtynnaya said.
According to her, now in Luhansk schools 1 hour of Ukrainian language and 2 hours of Ukrainian literature are taught per week.
“But when we asked parents who wants their children to take Ukrainian, it was zero. Nobody wanted to,” Podtynaya said.
