What the hell is going on
Russification in action. This has been done for at least the last 100 years. Forced removal of Ukrainians to slightly less temperate parts of Russia in Butlins style accommodation, banning of the language in all state run services and education, not employing Ukrainian only speakers in education and the civil service....
That eastern Ukraine has a high proportion of Russian speakers is partly down to these policies and also because a lot of ethnically Russian people were moved there to fill the empty villages after the famine.
