Unfortunately, I didn't get that. Would you be able to spell it out for a simple-minded crocodile?Originally Posted by LXNDR
Well, I'm not so sure about that. I happen to spend some time in Ukraine once in a while and I noticed a growing concern that some of the people have trouble with that sole-Ukrainian thing. My impression (I might be wrong though) was that the assertion of all-Ukrainian was based on the promises of some of the former government officials for the tighter integration with the European Union and the subsequent inevitable economic prosperity and political freedoms. So, to make something of a slogan, that was: "Let's break free from Russian dominance and integrate with Europe on the equal terms!" More recently I observed a growing disillusionment in that idea. Rather, that seemed like a playing card in the East vs the West parts' of the country power games. (I'm probably oversimplifying that, but I trust you forgive me.) The economic and political tension between the two parts of Ukraine have seem to be growing with every year. And whilst one of the sides is looking for the support from Russia, the other side is looking for the support from the West (let's call it that way). Traditionally, those kind of tensions find their implementations in the separatist sentiments and, subsequently, movements. In light of all that, I think, recognizing Russian as a second official language would rather unite the nation and qualify for a peaceful solution. Does it make sense?
The law is not the Ten Commandments. The law is for the people and not the people are for the law.
