The writer and translator Yevgeny Kuznetsov in an interview with Video NV stated that the Ukrainian language became the language of the elite in Kiev.
“I do not think that it is worth insisting, quarrel and in general to reject people who have not switched to Ukrainian. This will not solve any important issues for the Ukrainian language. It is important for children to speak, and that in all sorts of bars, which are considered elite capital institutions, speak Ukrainian. And this is now heard, so I am more or less calm than the fate of Ukrainian, it becomes the language of the elite, ”Kuznetsova said in an interview with Video NV.
According to her, now Ukrainian language can be heard more often in the center of Kiev.
“Look at the areas of Kiev, where you will hear more Russian and where more Ukrainian? There will be more Ukrainian on the Golden Gate on the Golden Gate. I do not want to insult any districts, but go to Troyeshchyna – there will be “work of Russian.” This is an inverted reality, before the opposite, ”the writer said.
