So, Bron, let me rephrase the question for you. Since we are essentially one people, as you say, you should understand it in Ukrainian as well. My question is: which people inhabited Perm, and what language did they speak?

And why are you tormenting me? :D

Just because LeBron didn't understand something doesn't mean you should say that Ukrainians and Russians are the same people. And let each nation fight for democracy in its own country and not judge others for that struggle. I am for democracy not only in Ukraine. I also wish for Russia to live under democracy. Your answer to my previous question is no longer important; you have already proven everything yourself!

This is a real report from the streets of Kyiv. The presenter speaks Polish, but everything is clear even without words.

To be honest, I don't see the connection between what I was saying and what you're trying to convey. But okay, I think this topic has run its course, and we should each stick to our own opinions.

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.

According to the latest census in 2001, Ukraine had a population of over 48.4 million people. Of these, 77.8% were Ukrainians, 17.3% were Russians, and 4.9% were representatives of other nationalities. The urban population accounted for 32.5 million people (67.2%). The number of women (53.7%) exceeded the number of men (46.3%). The official language in Ukraine is Ukrainian. As a result of centuries of Russification[8], the Russian language is common in the eastern and southern regions.

I can provide information from Wikipedia about Russification, but I think it might be deleted due to profanity!!!

Wicc, write about how wonderful Putin's authoritarian regime is, don't interfere in Ukraine, and I promise I won't write a single word!

I promise I won't write a single word!

That might be a bit too little :)

But if you could also convince Ichthyander to do the same... :D

However, in general, you are right. In the sense that one shouldn't interfere too much from the outside in the internal affairs of the community.

If you could also convince Ikhtiandr to do the same... :D

Although, in general, you are right. In the sense that one shouldn't interfere too much from the outside in the internal affairs of a society.

Ikhtiandr is a citizen of Russia, and he has the right to fight for democracy in his country. So, I can't help with that.

Are you still talking about Maidan?)) A couple of days ago, they launched a rumor that Berkut killed one person and shot two more (even though Berkut doesn't have firearms). I went there and watched this "People of Ukraine." In short, it's a bunch of thugs, hooligans, UNA, and UNSO... They are persistently storming Berkut with Molotov cocktails. There are even idiots who have been there for two months, and they are being given the same leaflets as during the "Arab Spring," only translated into Ukrainian, but the design and everything else are exactly the same:D. I predict that if Yanukovych is overthrown: 1. They will release the "martyr of the people," Tymoshenko, and immediately put her up for president (because that rabble from the opposition won't even get 1%). 2. And she will lead us on a white tiger into the EU. 3. Colonization of Ukraine, they will get rid of the Black Sea Fleet, bring in their missile defense systems, and establish military bases. It's unlikely, but they might try to push for the division of Ukraine. 4. And then everything will follow the well-worn script, just like it was with Georgia a few years ago... and brother will go to war against brother:smile13:. Maybe I'm exaggerating somewhere, but anyone who is aware of US politics over the last 10 years, or even just the last few years, has enough information. Iraq, Libya, Tunisia... they barely managed to prevent them from taking Syria, although provocations from Turkey have been happening regularly over the past two years! I hope that people will start thinking with their heads at least a little bit, and not with their butts. This is probably the only case in my life when I really want to side with the authorities:eek:

Only those who are somehow affiliated with the state budget and benefit from the "stability" write about the wonderful Putin in modern Russia.

romantic, are you defending these creatures?

I don't know how it is in Ukraine, but in Russia, there are plenty of scoundrels on both sides. The problem is that there should be an institution that controls the population of these scoundrels in power. Abroad, this is called democracy.

If Roger’s post was deleted, then Heroist’s post should be deleted as well. Or is this a case of double standards?

are these creatures, in your opinion? Then, provide more videos of how two Berkut officers similarly dragged, broke, and undressed them. We can also add that many people suffered from the Berkut. Is that okay? Only yesterday, 70 Berkut officers received medical assistance, and 40 of them are bedridden...
I'm saying this because there's no order to break these 500, or even 2,000 fascists, and there won't be one (so as not to provoke the scum). There will be one if they become completely savage and the Berkut suffers losses.
Do you want to be in the EU? In the EU, they would have already shot all of them for such actions.
Okay, I'm going for a walk; otherwise, things are getting out of hand.
