Incidentally, today at my work a matter of Russian as a second state language came up. The idea was met with indignation in no uncertain terms. I was surprised. All people were Russian-speaking, as it's a city in what is called "Central Ukraine", in the East of it, not that far from the front line. Normally, I would expect apathetic responses like "what for?" or "who cares?" but here we are.
