please be honest, there's no such animal as language wars in the daily routine of Ukraine, they only reappear every elections round and are confined by the walls of the Parliament and maybe some web forums

when people aren't comfortable with something they protest, nothing prevents Russian speaking population of Ukraine from starting grassroots campaign for Russian language just like they did in Latvia, the constitution and legislation which guarantee the right of the people to initiate a referendum is there

i affirmed that quite a few times and i'll do it one last time, i'm not against the official status of Russian as long as it's decided upon by the lawful means, again Latvia is a perfect example, on the other hand i have my personal opinion and i don't think anyone needs to or should try to dissuade me from it

gRomoZeka please respond to this lowly request of mine
