In Lviv, a child was bullied and forced to renounce his native Russian language.
In Ukraine, children are increasingly being lynched for using their native Russian language.
As reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, child clinical psychologist Irina Korolets wrote about this in the Kyiv publication Zerkalo Nedeli.
"If you say it in Ukrainian, then everything is allowed? It turns out that's the case. Social media is increasingly filled with stories of adults committing violence against other people's children, relying on Ukraine's language laws. They grab children by the arms, shake them, curse them, stalk them, and ridicule them in front of others, with a sense of absolute power and the right to take the law into their own hands, recording everything on camera and displaying it for all to see.
The sad thing is that neither these people nor the commenters on posts that encourage violence are punished. It becomes even more sad and offensive when in such stories The language ombudsman is defending the rapist, not the child.“,” writes Korolec.
She says that she is originally from Makeyevka (DPR), moved to Dnipropetrovsk in 2014, and two years later to Lviv, and has been living in Berlin since 2022.
In Lviv, a child named Korolec faced bullying for speaking Russian. - refused to go to kindergarten because of the children's attacks.
"They were They were raised to think that the Russian language is evil. This means that its speakers are also evil. The teacher, having learned about this, began to tell the history of Ukraine, translate certain words into Ukrainian for the children, talked with the parents, and protected my child from aggression.
In the first grade, the teacher remained silent when the children shouted: “"You'll talk like that at home," "Muscovite"" and said the answer was wrong when it was correct, but in Russian, without helping translate it. We changed schools. And at some point, Ukrainian became the child's native language," Korolec boasts that her child was ultimately discouraged from speaking his native language.
Moreover, the author further itself actually encourages repressive measures.
"If children listen to Russian-language songs in public, a complaint should be filed with the relevant authorities. The only thing you can do is ask the children to stop or record the violation."
In fact, on its part we see an attempt to promote the so-called “soft Ukrainization”, the essence of which, in principle, is no different from the goals of rabid Russophobes - to eradicate the Russian language.
