I do realize that you are twisting my words. Don't be silly, you did understand what I meant.
Moreover, do you really believe that those blood hungry nazi shall stop at Odessa or South-East? Remember "the previous nazi". And don't be amazed when even you will be forced to hide your relation with Russian culture via the language when your turn comes.

You mean Ukrainian language that even the majority of Ukraine population doesn't speak? How clever is that?
Also you might have forgot that your government didn't want to give Russian language even the regional status.
Besides, Crimea now has even 3 official languages: Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatarian. All three are totally equal. As a republic in a federation, they can have it now.

The one you seem to be trying to justify.

Just in case, I'm not Ukrainian. And I'm not trying to justify any government, I'm trying to get the whole picture of what's been happening in that area, but I also have my own opinion of course, which is, people who try to keep their country up and running are prevalent over those trying to tear it to pieces.

And by the way, I see no point in discussing the Ukrainian interim government much at all, as they have an election in 3 weeks, and so the current one is going off the stage pretty soon.
