  10.  @tasospanagiotou7823  Where do you guys get this nonsense? Zelensky's first language is Russian, he still gets criticized for not speaking perfect Ukrainain. 2014 was when Russia began its invasion. Gee I wonder why Ukraine would want to ban pro Russian parties. Nobody gave af about Russian's until they invaded. Yanukovich was voted out by 100% of parliament, including his own party, he fled because of the uprising that occured due to his attempt to hold onto power. How do you feel about Russia suppressing the Ukrainian language in Ukraine? The Russian Empire promoted the spread of the Russian language among the native Ukrainian population, actively refusing to acknowledge the existence of a Ukrainian language. Alarmed by the threat of Ukrainian separatism (in its turn influenced by the 1863 demands of Polish nationalists), the Russian Minister of Internal Affairs Pyotr Valuev in 1863 issued a secret decree that banned the publication of religious texts and educational texts written in the Ukrainian language as non-grammatical, but allowed all other texts, including fiction. The Emperor Alexander II in 1876 expanded this ban by issuing the Ems Ukaz (which lapsed in 1905). The Ukaz banned all Ukrainian-language books and song-lyrics, as well as the importation of such works. Furthermore, Ukrainian-language public performances, plays, and lectures were forbidden. In 1881 the decree was amended to allow the publishing of lyrics and dictionaries, and the performances of some plays in the Ukrainian language with local officials' approval. Ukrainian-only troupes were, however, forbidden. During the Soviet times, the attitude to Ukrainian language and culture went through periods of promotion (policy of "korenization", c. 1923 to c. 1933), suppression (during the subsequent period of Stalinism)
