Could you provide some information on how many years Ukraine (specifically, the part that currently speaks Russian) was a colony, first within the Russian Empire and then as part of the USSR? And how the Russification of the population was carried out.

This Russification of the population seems to have had a strange effect, impacting some people but not others. Perhaps the issue isn't Russification itself, but rather the population.

I remember that Soviet diaries had separate sections for evaluations: Russian language, native language, Russian literature, native literature. So, multiculturalism was actually fostered in the USSR.
