And remember, this is the very anti-Russian stance that the EU and US is actively supporting. A tolerant muti racial stance, as long as it doesn't include Russian. That is why we need wake up here and realise the EU and US agenda, which is basically the iradication of all things Russian. We don't need be sitting inside western based organisations, hell bent of our destruction, not unless we want to be directing our own demise. We need be outside with a well defined working interface. The behaviour shown here with regard to the Russian language is unacceptable, it would be in any civilised country. But true to western values, we see again fine words and evil deeds. That is the hallmark of the west! The Western Hypocracy!

I am of Ukrainian descent, living in Australia. My family was taken by Nazis and resttled in Australia to avoid communism. Ukrainian Kozak pride and spirit is stronger than Russian, and we have a right to preserve our Language and customs. In Australia the Ukrainian community still has traditional Kozak dance , songs and coooking. Russian community does not exist and is more western. We are the true Rus! Our Language is more beautiful and harmonic. Russian Language become coarse after Siberian exploration made men brutal and harsh.

The law is pro-Ukrainian, not anti-Russian! Other languages were not to be spoken either, right? Every nation has to give its national language its proper place. If you want to find some eradication and intolerance, look for Ukrainian language schools for the millions of Ukrainians in Russia! Is there even one?
