Ukraine is a member of the Council of Europe and is therefore bound by The European Convention on Human Rights. Here is an extract: "Article 14 Prohibition of discrimination The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status." So - discrimination on the ground of language would represent a breach of the human rights of those victimised. What sort of person verbally abuses 5 year old children anyway?

This happens in the US all the time, hard core right or left wingers always try to get the childrens ear when they get an opportunity. I took my soon to see a train exhibition here when he was 4. Mixed in with all the other exhibits, was an anti-abortion display in a tent. The man at the exhibit started to immediately show my four year old a model of the human reproductive system etc. This literally happened in about 15 seconds, as he was only slightly ahead of me. Extremism, in any form, is the biggest problem the world faces today

Note doubt this article is sponsored by a RUSSIAN web site to stir some 'agitation'. Nevertheless, we have a similar situation here in America, where Spanish is creeping into the American culture. All I can say is... this is a mole hill attempting to be a mountain of an issue. Beyond that... Ukraine has every Right to preserve if not enhance its culture; and that includes preserving its language. Imagine if American came rolling into the Ukraine culture, pushing McDonalds & Walmarts everywhere. Many French are horrified by the anglo-fication of their language. I sympathize with them. Ukraine should be concerned with being absorbed by Russia. Who wants another Belarus? I'm all in favor of preserving Ukrainian names, etc. Albeit it should be enforced in a gentle way. As for stirring up your readers with this trivia? ... I find it typical, as an American viewing Russians: they tend to be arrogant with skewed logic & priorities. I have a brother like that. We call 'em 'Tea Baggers' via the infamous 'Tea Party' in America: an ultra-Rightwing splinter group. Much a do about NOTHING. Again, the main issue is the preservation of the Ukrainian culture in an amicable way. Period.
