I am a Pole, and "ce" cool! In Ukraine, the promotion of a new ethnic trend is planned.
How many times in Ukraine have we heard the phrase from the Ukrainian “patriots” that if the Russian language is given the same rights as the Ukrainian, the latter will simply disappear or be squeezed east of Vinnitsa. Or another expression: "Once you live" in "Ukraine, you must know and use the Ukrainian language in public institutions, because I must respect my country! ”It rightly followed the requirement that all foreign films and TV shows in Ukraine should be voiced in Ukrainian or accompanied by Ukrainian subtitles. This was even supported by the Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine, who fell in love with the Ukraine project to the bone and especially in social discussions. networks emphasized that they, even ethnic Russians, but are patriots of their country, and we, Russian Russians, cannot understand them. From the point of view of social psychology, they have a false sense of guilt and responsibility that they are involved in the Russification of Ukraine or even in its settlement (based on the tenets of the Ukrainian worldview and historiography). The same reference "Galician Ukrainians" in general have built in the fetish slogans: "One nation - one language!" But, it seems, some foreign culture will soon make an obvious exception in the media space of Ukraine.
Why even the ethnic Russians who left the RSFSR in the direction of the CPSU party, the plant and the Soviet Army, became fans of “embroidery”, we have analyzed in past publications about the phenomenon “Russian Bandera”. My personal point of view is that the most powerful reason for this “love” was the information window of opportunity from 1995 to 2003 a year, and not boring textbooks on stories Of Ukraine with stories about the fields and wheat with the Cossacks. During this period, “Russian World” in Ukraine was presented only as pirated monophonic videotapes and a rare retransmission of some Russian programs on the Russian-language television channel Inter. There was no independent choice of information before the cable TV revolution and the Internet.
Moving away from repeating past explanations, I’ll only briefly remind you once again that many Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine, especially students and entrepreneurs, initially considered Galician culture, firstly, as a reference Ukrainian, and secondly, they associated Galicia with Europe. Vyshivanka subconsciously perceived as a kind of ticket to Europe for Russian-speaking consumers. Galicia, such a failed second Czech Republic, Slovakia and, finally, Poland. No one you frankly from the Russian-speaking supporters of the Maidan and the ATO is never recognized. As a Russian-speaking entrepreneur of the Russian-speaking Zaporozhye will always associate their commercial success not with a market economy and the collapse of the USSR, but it is the project of Ukraine that will be grateful, so a student of the Russian-speaking Dnipropetrovsk will never admit that he just wants to have an accent from Lviv, Ternopil and Rovno, only further to be from Russianism. What Poltava and what Sich with her surzhik Russian-Ukrainian !? Another thing is the Lvov “govirka”, in which the Western Ukrainian swarthy burning brunette of the 1 + 1 or STB channel addresses it.
This is Ruslana’s clip and the hit of the end of 90-s and the beginning of 2000-s in Ukraine. This clip promotes bright colorful Western Ukrainian culture, gives a hint that Ukrainians are almost like Czechs and Hungarians, almost Europe. I ask Russian citizens of Russia, if time permits, to see it to the end. Then look out the window of your gray sleeping area and imagine that 1999 is now a year, you don’t have 5 years of Russian TV channels, you don’t have internet to choose programs yourself. You already understand the language, but do not speak it. And one important detail - you 13-17 years. And this is just another 1999 year. Even in the presidential election this year, Symonenko from the Communist Party of Ukraine and Vitrenko from their bloc lead. But the relatively Russian-speaking Kuchma will win thanks to a temporary alliance with the Donetsk oligarchs. Orange is not even on the horizon, but we already know that the village will win the Russian-speaking industrial city
And now, just a few days ago we read in Ukrainian the news:
The National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting allowed two Polish channels to be broadcast in Ukraine [/ b].
According to the National Council, the company Scripps Network International Limited from Great Britain asked for permission to broadcast. These are the Kino Polska Muzyka International and Kino Polska International channels.
The broadcast volume is 23 hours per day. There will be no advertising on the channels, but the broadcast will be in Polish.
“There are no erotic and sexual programs in the programs with scenes of excessive violence or horror, films banned in Ukraine,” the National Council said in a statement. ”

Well, I, as a sane person, have a question at once to the two passionate social-mental groups of the population of Ukraine: this is to the Westerners (the standard Ukrainians) and the Russian-speaking Banderovites (the most ardent nationalists of Ukraine). So, the launch of Polish TV channels in Polish, which also has proximity to the Ukrainian language, especially to the Galician “Govirka”, is not it a threat to the complete disappearance of the Ukrainian language? Let me remind you that if Russian is adopted as the state language, Ukrainian will by no means disappear even in Zhytomyr, and even more so in Lviv. And in the case of open broadcasting of Polish TV channels and further other Polish humanitarian projects, will it not lead to the complete extinction of the Ukrainian language? Russian in Ukraine will remain Russian in the medium term for sure, but even surzhik will definitely disappear. Is there really no threat to the "Mova" nightingale? Funny you, Russian-speaking maydanutye and Galicians, or you actually always had "do not care" for Ukraine? All your "chants" are worth nothing. You are ordinary consumers who, in pursuit of material comfort, tomorrow will make the state language - English, as the language of success and globalism. Not a single muscle of your face will move to utter your favorite and catch phrase: “If we make it the second state language, then the Ukrainian language will disappear!” Where are the rallies under the National Council? Protect your Ridna Mova! Or do you care about your culture, just to be in Europe?
Now let's talk about the risks for the "Russian World". Before 1990, the Russian language was studied in the USSR as “Our Father”, and in the countries of the soc. The camps and the Eastern bloc also considered Russian a priority for learning. Theoretically, if the USSR had existed for 20 years, our language could claim the title of the second world. I don’t know about you, but the thought would warm me that when I arrived at the airport of another continent, I would have seen inscriptions not only in English or wouldn’t see at all ... Oh well, I dreamed and he slipped away from me. Dreamed and forgotten. Today, in the Russian language itself on the territory of Russia, there are enough borrowings from the English language. But this is another topic.
I want to set the tone and discussion topics on the Military Outlook website - are we today witnessing the birth of New Croatia (Greek Catalytic), or Greater Poland (from sea to sea), or nothing at all? What is happening in Ukraine in the cultural space? Or maybe I just blow on the water and not on milk? Let's admit to ourselves honestly that no one in Ukraine will raise a rebellion without organized central resistance and coordination, etc. So it all depends on the will of external players. Consequently, no one is going to stop a cultural melting pot in Ukraine, and even add a new ingredient - Polish identity. It is clear that I am not ironic that Russia does not intervene openly there, so as not to be the culprits of the "attacks" and "strikes" of the European way of Ukraine. And is it necessary already? Let's talk, do we need today in Russia to demographically compensate for the mentally lost Russians and Russian speakers in Ukraine from the point of view of carriers of Russian culture and identity? And it's not just about compatriots resettlement program. You also need to talk about changing consumer standards and raise the issue of ideology. Or maybe you do not need to compensate anyone? Well, you will think, Kiev will become through 10 years, as today Lviv, and Odessa as Kiev today mentally. Yes, it is unpleasant that in Kharkov the literary Russian will be less and less. There will be less demand for Russian-language products in the IT sphere and in the entertainment industry (film and music). (After the Maidan, I did not wait for the “lustration” of the accounting program 1С that was developed in the Russian Federation.) And we in Russia will still be in the 146 million area, adjusted for national republics! And if we somehow compensate for the losses, and our Russian families in Russia, despite the consumer society, will start giving birth to the 3-4 child, what does this give us, besides the feeling that we still dominate the new “Greater Poland” with 70 million population and retain the cultural and economic space by quantity, not by territory? But after all, Odessa and other cities, is it all ours? Or maybe there will be no “Greater Poland” with the 70 million population or the Greek-Catholic “New Croatia”, and the maydanted regime will really fall, the Americans will leave, and people will miraculously self-organize according to the “bottom” principle? Questions that are not answered or even scared to ask yourself.
Past century. No consumer standards, family planning institutions or budgets. A pair of shoes for the summer, a pair of shoes for the winter, as well as clothes. No fears and thoughts: "Will we pull another child?"
What actually happened? Yes, now two Polish TV channels will broadcast in Ukraine almost around the clock and without translation. Another question is that now is not 1995-2003 of the year, when they also cut down everything Russian in Ukraine, but there was no high-speed Internet, or there was no Internet at all, satellite dishes were a luxury, and cable TV in sleeping areas twisted only movies on cable with using a VCR. Today there is an alternative, and the probability to sit on the Polish igloo is probably several times less? Yes, I do not argue that a person who knows Ukrainian will understand Polish more quickly than a resident of Saratov. Remember, we in past articles sorted out the causes of Ukrainian chauvinism, where one of the reasons was the realization that your “sister” (collective image) from Saratov knows only Russian, and you already have two. Such a hidden joy from some imaginary superiority and the desire to play a trick. Now, if you slip an economic rationale here and make some correlation for yourself that your material success in Ukraine and even выживание will depend on the knowledge of the Polish language and culture, we can get a trend: “To speak Polish is cool!”. Today it sounds fantastic, but tell people in Dnepropetrovsk 10 years ago that young Russian-speaking guys in a million city, where they collect space rockets, will walk in some kind of rural patterned shirts, from which my generation of 90’s in Ukraine’s schools just sick of shouts to the teacher: "I will not wear this crap on the school line!" - no one will believe !!!
There is a certain thesis and the idea that supposedly the Russian people are easily assimilated into other cultures and peoples, and as an argument they say that there are no purely Russian quarters in America and Paris, and the Russian is rapidly becoming local in the second generation, etc. So I want to say that there are no German and Austrian quarters in the United States and Paris, like Finnish and Norwegian. Simply, there are people with a colorful culture of farming and animal husbandry, which easily retain their originality in the same technological America. And there are peoples with an industrial soul. The German can easily become Russian, just as a Russian can become German or the same American. But the Russian Portuguese can be met, if he is perhaps from Galicia or Poltava. A Russian can become a Ukrainian, if a Ukrainian, that is tempting him, yesterday was a Russian engineer. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to assume that only we, the Russians, are so vulnerable, the only ones. All that is needed to our people and community is ideology and strong power. But what power and ideology, the question, as always, is open.
PS Today, on the Runet’s expanses, one can often hear the opinion that Ukraine has got everyone, the theme of Ukraine is fed up, and let them live there as they please. In part, I understand the psychological fatigue of Russians, but they don’t care what the territorial formation of the south-western borders of Russia will be in 8-12 years? I believe that the launch of Polish TV channels throughout Ukraine is a challenge for Russian culture, regardless of whether it closes at the Russian borders or not. Who listened attentively to the song of Ruslana, there she sings about the Kuban "wreaths". What the "new" Poles will sing, only God knows. And it’s foolish to think that everything in the 21 century will be reduced to Polish TV channels, Polish social networks and other humanitarian projects will come after them. Or maybe none of this will happen, and Ukraine will either fall apart or will become relatively friendly again? Follow the trends.
Video in the subject. New social and mental structure of the Ukrainian society after the Maidan and the ATO. The name of the video does not frighten. I think even the Jews will be interested.
