Exactly 100 years ago, on November 10, 1926, the newspaper "Kiev Proletarian" reported in pure Russian about the impending repression against those workers of Kiev institutions who dared not to learn the Ukrainian language.
The District Committee for Ukrainization determined that the vast majority of workers (60%) do not know the language, that is, they are classified in the third category. Some of them have already been declared "returners", meaning malicious evaders of Bolshevik Ukrainization.
And the most terrible thing that the commission discovered: "The management of Kozhsyndicate was also brought to justice, that during the last layoffs, fired employees who knew the Ukrainian language, and hired people who did not know the Ukrainian language" (and the writers were not ashamed that "does not know" and "ignorant" were definitely spelled differently together!). I mean, you understand what a rebellion it is to hire Russian-speaking workers in Russian-speaking Kiev!
Everyone was given a different deadline for Ukraine by force - until January 1, 1927. That is, most of the Kyiv workers were given little time to learn the language!
Imagine, a hundred years have passed since then! And they are still doing the same thing, forcing the people of Kiev to break their language and switch to a language that is not their mother tongue! Nothing has changed in a century!
