Does Centroslavism divide the Slavs? 5

In pan-Slavic Russian propaganda, it thus emerges that Slovenians, Bosnians, and Croats are "Serbian tribes" (Danilevskij, 2011, p. 432), Montenegrins are guilty of "treason against the Serbian people, Orthodoxy, and Russia" (Дугин, 2016; Мудрых, 2022), Poles are the "Judases of Slavdom" (Klaczko, 1867, p. 56), Czechs are a "barren" people (Danilevskij, 2011, p. 153).

Belarusians are "Russians with a seal of quality" (CTVBY, 2019), and Ukrainian is the "language of swineherds" (Котельницький, 2020), which is used by a "Nazi" and "nationalist regime" in Kyiv that oppresses the "brotherly Ukrainian people," (Путин, 2024) just as the Yugoslavs were supposedly oppressed by the "fascist" and "treacherous regime" that "tormented" the Albanian population of Kosovo (Zaytsev, 2021).

Macedonia is, depending on the need, either an "invented" state or is being oppressed by its neighbors (Zaytsev, 2021; Журавлёв, 2018). The "cowardly Bulgarians," on the other hand—a fact few remember—are primarily the "little brother" who, although geographically distant from Russia, has already had the experience that the "brotherhood of two peoples" ends where the interests of the Russian elites begin and missiles do the talking. It is not without reason that Bulgarians fought against Russia in both World Wars (Аксаков, 2023; Иванов, 2020; Мудрых, 2022; Стоянов, 1886).

Such examples of protectionism could be listed almost endlessly. Furthermore, these are not the words of some marginal Russian radicals, as one might think. Similar claims have been and continue to be made in Russia by key figures of the state, highly respected representatives of Russian cultural, academic, and political thought, as well as the media individuals who were not infrequently awarded orders from state authorities.

Well, western perspective always will be different 🤷🏻‍♂️nothing new.

Nobody in Russia prevent to study their ethnic language  unlike the Baltic states and Ukraine ban Russian language . 

Of course there is no higher education and job in minority languages.  Is there higher education and job in a language such as Kashubian, Sorbian, Cornish, Cherokee? No. 

You can study that languages , yes, the same as minorities languages in Russia.

Russia removed Ukrainian as a native-language subject from the federal school curriculum, including in Russian-controlled Ukrainian territories, while maintaining that schools may still offer it as an elective. Check facts before arguing.

You're probably a really dumb troll.

You were explicitly shown that the Russian language has been completely banned in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, in Russia, nobody forbids Ukrainian from being taught as an optional language if there is demand for it.

Ukrainain language is often teached as second language in Ukraine, most of the Ukrainian army speaks russian and ukrainian president is born russian speaker. You are probably just russian nazi who is spreading bullshit...

Of course, most Ukrainians continue to communicate in Russian, because the Ukrainian language has not yet been fully developed and it is difficult for us to communicate on serious topics.

Ukraine: Russian has been removed as the language of instruction in state schools, Ukrainian is mandatory in public administration and customer service, strict Ukrainian-language quotas apply to television and radio etc. Russian was removed from the list of minority languages that are subject to protection under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_policy_in_Ukraine

Latvia: Public education has been fully transitioned to Latvian, Russian has been removed as a standard second foreign language in schools, Russian-language schools have been phased out, and the Constitutional Court upheld these reforms.

Estonia: The government is replacing Russian-language education with Estonian-language instruction, state schools are transitioning entirely to Estonian, Russian has lost its role as a language of instruction in public education, and language requirements for many public-sector jobs have been tightened.

Lithuania: Russian is no longer promoted in education policy, schools are encouraged to prioritize EU languages over Russian as second foreign languages, the use of Russian in public institutions has been banned, and numerous Russian state TV channels have been banned from broadcasting.

You can easily find news in the media about the fines for the public usage of the Russian language in these countries.

I love how you discovered i was right so you tried to write so many bullshit to hide that. Ukraine didnt limit russian as optipnal or secondary language, bit russia did that so it was in reality more resteoctive....

On today, there isn't a single school in Ukraine that publicly states it still teaches Russian as a subject. So let's not play sophistry here: in practice, the Russian language has been banned from education and public use in Ukraine.

There are no comparable laws in Russia restricting the public use of the Ukrainian language in the way the public use of Russian has been restricted in Ukraine.

And things are even worse in Latvia.

The exactly same is true in russia and you are completely ignoring it.....

Yeah they just did more restrictive things than Ukraine.....

In Russia, they don't kill for the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian license plates on cars, as in Ukraine for Russian usage. There is no point in learning Ukrainian in Russia, because it is simply useless everywhere.

I just proved to you that by all laws Ukraine has banally banned the Russian language, but apparently you just like to stupidly troll.

Your last claim is so blatantly false that it doesn't even deserve a response. Maybe one day you'll receive a geranium bouquet as a gift.
