@jht76225@clashreport@LauraLoomer I don't know anything about that. I have not lived in Ukraine since the 90s. Sorry if that's happening in Ukraine. I don't agree with that either.
@e_l_g_c_a@clashreport@LauraLoomer During which years did you grow up in Abkhazia?
In USSR you could learn native languages of each republic- whether Georgia or Ukraine. It wasn't an official language however. And if people preferred their native language, they were looked down upon.
@e_l_g_c_a@clashreport@LauraLoomer The language issues were developing with decades. Didn't happen overnight. Ukraine looked different in a 40s and 50s then when I was growing up in the 80s. Your grandma lived in Vinnitsa. That wasn't too far from us.
@e_l_g_c_a@clashreport@LauraLoomer And something else that is important for you to know for your Ukrainian history- the western Ukraine had more Ukrainian autonomy than Central and Eastern. The closer they were to the western border, the less control Soviet union had over that region.
Ukrainian was a second language. Ukrainian language, culture, traditions were all suppressed. Russian became the first language. There was a Russification across all 15 republics of USSR. People could speak Ukrainian inside their families, but not in classrooms, courts, etc. There was a Ukrainian language class in school.
@jht76225@clashreport@LauraLoomer What does FULL rights mean in Soviet Ukraine? That they could speak their native language? So what? That's not what zelenskyy is talking about. He is talking about each republic's native language became a second language, while Russian became forced upon people to be their first.
@r26431953@clashreport@LauraLoomer Born in USSR? Or raised in USSR? You went to schools there? Listened to propaganda there? Don't you dare call me a liar. You have some nerve.
@jht76225@clashreport@LauraLoomer Hungary was not a USSR republic. Hungarian minority still had to study in Russian, watch Russian TV and have Russian as their main language no matter where in USSR they lived - Russia, Ukraine, etc. What he is talking about is a different topic entirely.
