In Ukraine, introduced a new language norm


View of Independence Square in KievKYIV, Jan 16In Ukraine, the norm of the law on ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language, regulating its use in the field of print media, comes into force. According to the new rules, all Ukrainian print media can now be published and distributed in a foreign language only if a circulation is simultaneously published in the state language. At the same time, in each place of their distribution, publications in Ukrainian should make up at least 50% of the entire range. The law on the state language was sharply criticized by both the Ukrainian opposition and Russian politicians. According to the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, Kiev, by adopting discriminatory laws against the Russian language, deliberately sows discord among its citizens.Total UkrainizationThe state language in Ukraine is Ukrainian. At the same time, the constitution guarantees the free development, use and protection of Russian and other languages ​​of national minorities. The Ukrainian parliament adopted the law «On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language» on April 25, 2019. Its articles are being implemented in stages. The document provides for the use of the Ukrainian language exclusively in almost all spheres of life. To do this, a special «language commission» was created, the position of a commissioner for its protection was introduced. The same law proposed to introduce exams for officials that determine the level of knowledge of the Ukrainian language, and fines for violating the law. The fine ranges from 5.1 thousand to 6.8 thousand hryvnia (from 185 to 247 dollars). In June 2019, 51 deputies of the Verkhovna Rada applied to the Constitutional Court with a request to declare the law unconstitutional. The Constitutional Court, however, considered that the law does not violate the linguistic rights of national minorities, and any encroachment on its legal status threatens the national security of the country.In Ukraine, they explained why Zelensky «jumps» into Russian. New stage According to the new rules, distribution by subscription of such publications in other languages ​​is allowed, subject to the possibility of subscription in the state language. The founders of print media are obliged to produce, publish and deliver a copy of the issue in Ukrainian. In each place of distribution, publications in the state language must be at least 50%. If the media is published in a foreign language, there must be a copy in the state language. However, these requirements do not apply to regional publications in the Crimean Tatar and languages ​​of the EU countries until July 2024. «The sixteenth of January is a new stage in the implementation of the norms of the language law, which, of course, will ensure an increase in the presence of the state language in the public space and strengthening its status as the state language. Ukrainian is really getting bigger,» Taras Kremin, Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language, said on his Facebook page.»Opposition Platform» announced discrimination against the Russian language in UkraineCriticism of the lawThe law on total Ukrainization adopted by the Rada was previously sharply criticized by the Ukrainian opposition and Russian politicians. The head of the political council of the Opposition Platform — For Life party, Viktor Medvedchuk, considers it to be violating the constitution, since it «discriminates against the Russian language and the languages ​​of national minorities.» «whose opportunities to study, receive treatment and use other social services will be significantly limited. Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on this law, announced that the Russian-speaking population is being squeezed out.» population from their historical territory. This is what is happening,” Putin said at his annual big press conference at the end of December. Before then-president Petro Poroshenko signed the law “On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language” in May 2019, TV channels and radio stations had a quota of 50% for the use of the Ukrainian language. After the quota rose to 90%. Replacing Poroshenko as president, Volodymyr Zelensky promised to carefully analyze the law for compliance with the constitution. He noted that the document was adopted «without a sufficiently broad preliminary discussion with the public.» However, for two and a half years, the ruling party has not made any adjustments to it. In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the concept of a state program for the development of the Ukrainian language in all areas until 2030. Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko said that this concept is aimed at «gentle Ukrainization» and a voluntary transition to Ukrainian.
