Zrada in the rear: Lvov spoke Russian
While the “Svidomo” were Ukrainizing Kyiv and the South-East of Ukraine, it turned out that the Russification of Lvov was in full swing.
The odious Russophobe showman Anton Mukharsky, also known under the pseudonym Orest Lyuty, spoke about this on the air of the Lvov NTA channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“While we are chatting about the affectionate Ukrainization of the east and south, Lviv is being Russified in full swing. I have never heard so much Russian here. Friends from Lviv, what do you think? – quoted the host of the studio guest’s post on Facebook, noting that locals see this problem, but only talk about it in their kitchens.
“What we think is not easy to say with censorship, but in recent years it’s just violence, and the squeak of rape of the Galician dialect, which maybe not everyone likes, but, nevertheless, there is total Russification in the city, no matter how they fight it.
Why is Lviv, the Galician Piedmont, where the cultural traditions of Ukraine are preserved, so susceptible to Russification when Central Ukraine is trying to fight it?” – the journalist asked
“I’ll start with a specific example: today in a restaurant a girl who communicates with us in Ukrainian, with the Poles in Polish, with the British in English, suddenly switches (it’s clear that a Ukrainian girl is sitting at the table, speaking Ukrainian on the phone, and the waitress hears), but for some reason, approaching her, she switches to Russian. That is, this is a phenomenon that I am now observing in Kyiv restaurants, and, perhaps, somewhere in Vinnitsa. The waiters, who communicate with each other in Ukrainian, for some reason address customers in Russian,” Mukharsky complained.
“These are people under thirty. I see in this our wasted, missed opportunities for the Ukrainization of the generation born in Vilnius Ukraine... Of course, this is the influence of the Russian media product and Russian pop music, chanson, blatnyak and so on - culture, it is transmitted like a viral droplet.
This is a conscious or unconscious inferiority complex, that all city residents speak Russian, and this is a diffuse phenomenon that has begun to appear zonally, because, indeed, in Lvov it has become much more... It strikes me that people in stores, at the checkout, in For some reason, in the service sector they are increasingly addressing me in Russian, and they also listen to me on the street. But about a diffuse phenomenon: more Ukrainian language has appeared in Kyiv,” said the showman.
