The linguistic war

Ukraine is waging war not only on the battlefield, but also in the linguistic sphere.

The correspondent of PolitNavigator reports that the Ukrainian historian Vasyl Balushok writes about this in the Kiev publication Zerkalo Nedeli, the reason for whose article was the dismissal of the language ombudsman Taras Kremen, who is notorious for his Russophobia and has received the nickname Sprechenführer among the people.

According to him, in this regard "Ukrainians were not very different from the aforementioned Chukchi, Koryaks, Nivkhs and other small peoples of Siberia" and “rapidly lost the Ukrainian language, national culture, became Russified and forgot their own history.”

"At the same time, one should not think that information dependence for a community is still an abstraction far removed from real life. Whenever countries with different strengths of information networks are neighbors, the stronger of them, like a vacuum cleaner, draws the weaker community into its orbit“And this is greatly facilitated by the unified language of the designated networks,” the historian admits.

He believes that the position of language ombudsman is extremely important in this situation.

"And only now, after 30 years of new independence, Ukraine is with great difficulty, making enormous efforts, breaking away from the Russian information communications network, which still partially entangles it in its sticky web. That is why Ukraine cares who the new language ombudsman will be, whether he has the necessary knowledge, skills and experience. After all, the war that Ukraine is currently waging also affects the linguistic sphere“,” Balushok sums up.
