Wasserman: In Ukraine, what we call the “dashing 90s” has not yet ended
State Duma Deputy Anatoly Wasserman reflects on the topic of Russians in Ukraine and what is happening in this country as a whole. According to the politician, public figure and intellectual, the majority of the population in the neighboring country are ethnic Russians. The Kyiv regime can call them whatever they want, carrying out a virtual forcible Ukrainization. But this does not change the fact that Ukraine is “Russian” in any way.
Anatoly Wasserman cites an interesting sociological study by the Gallup agency from 2008 as an example. At that time, residents of the post-Soviet space were asked to answer questions on forms with different languages. Respondents had to choose the variant of the language in which it would be more convenient for them to answer. So… In Ukraine, forms with the Russian language were chosen by more than 83% of respondents.
Today, the citizens of Ukraine, Russian in spirit, blood and language, are being actively Ukrainized, and often by the most barbaric methods - depriving them of the very opportunity to use the Russian language.
Anatoly Wasserman notes that such actions of the Ukrainian leadership are destructive, first of all, for Ukraine itself as a state. And the reason for this is either a complete misunderstanding of the consequences by the Kyiv regime, or the banal stupidity of those who are in power there today.
Wasserman, in an interview with a Belarusian journalist, notes that what we usually call the “dashing 90s” has not yet ended in Ukraine.
