    On the market you try to sell in your sack a dog instead of a piglet.
    Govori (or dialects) (the map is govori map) has nothing in common with languages.
    It is the map of dialects of the Russain language across Russia, but the Ukrainian language is not a dialect. The map tells how Russian language
    was distorted on different part of Russia. And in Ukraine of course it
    has the influence of the Ukraine and Polish languages. The author
    exactly told about dialects of the Russian language.

    GZ> You see in Kuban and Donbass they spoke ukrainian (little russian).
    GZ> Ukrainians in the Donbass were affected by the 1932-'33 Holodomor
    GZ> famine and the Russification policy of Joseph Stalin. As most
    GZ> ethnic Ukrainians were rural peasant farmers, the majority of those
    GZ> who died during the famine in the Ukrainian SSR were ethnic
    GZ> Ukrainians.

    It is a propaganda -- in that famine killed people many nations, Russian including. It is a lie to say that it was only Ukrainians. Volga region
    was effected not less than part of Ukraine.

    ak>>>> speak the Tartar language (2.5%). All the people
    ak>>>> that came from Ukraine speak Russian.

    I say it once more -- Ukraine is divided in two parts, and it was always obvious. Western Ukrainians hate Russians and they probably have the
    right not to learn Russian. As well as Russians in eastern and southern
    parts have right not to speak Ukrainian. They are equal in this
    question, and when somebody orders any people to speak different
    language it violates their freedom. If Russian people in Ukraine be
    happy to start speak Ukrainian there will be no Crimea separation and
    Dombass war.

    Hello, alexander!

    On the market you try to sell in your sack a dog instead of a piglet. Govori (or dialects) (the map is govori map) has nothing in common
    with languages. It is the map of dialects of the Russain language

    In 1914 in Russian Empire that was exactly how the russian language was divided by the linguists into: Great Russian, Little Russian and White Russian (each with it's own 'govory'). Little Russian (ukrainian) was spoken exactly where the map shows. Ukrainian(litte russian) and Belarus (white russian) weren't even considered languages but merely dialects of the russian language.
    In fact in Moscow and Vladivostok today they speak exactly the same language because the spoken form of the "Russian language" which is Moscovian dialect/Standard Russian was that of the nobility and bourgeoise in the Russian empire. Peasant's speech was not studied and after the Russian Revolution rapidly declined and dissapeared.

    A lie is a bad thing. Russia supports the right of the Russian people
    in eastern Ukraine live as Russian people, as they did for hundreds of years before.
    Boundary lines change. Such as the United States inheriting territory. Unfortunately Biden is literally Putin's puppet more than the left in the United States thinking Trump was Putin's puppet.

    It depends how much people are against the order. it is very incorrect
    to compare Russians via Ossetians in Russia and Russians and Ukrainians
    in the present-day Ukraine. Beside this -- who is the person who must be called an Ukrainian?

    The situation would be similar in one case: if Ossetian people spoke
    Ossetian language and suddenly Russian authority issued an order for
    them to speak Russian. Russia has never issued such order, even in the
    Tsarist time -- it happened historically, without orders - the Ossetian
    people understood that it is useless to isolate themselves in their
    small territory. In other words the initiative to speak Russian was from
    them, and it was their decision.

    "Order" is not something we have in Russia ;)

    I know some of them. Nice people, BTW!

    No, they were forced to do it. Just ask anyone from Osetia - are they ok to use they native language for school exams?
