well done putin. i don't know if self cancellation of russia was the purpose, but it's working
Let's also applaud him for demilitirasing russia, and becoming the first military supplier of Ukraine.
@@benoitbvg2888 indeed
@@benoitbvg2888 AND for driving Sweden and Finland toward NATO out of fear of Russian barbarianism and war crimes that they are showcasing in their illegal invasion ofUkraine.
As a Pole, I do hope some Ukrainians will also learn some Polish, just as I am learning Ukrainian. I'm also avoiding the Russian I had once studied.
I remember how my parents' generation refused to buy any German products (cars, appliances...). It took about two generations for that to end, and yes, it only ended because Germany changed.
Now millions of Ukrainians are happy to learn Polish, because Polish culture is no less and even more magnificent than Russian! European civilization has always reached Ukraine through Poland! Natural deep civilizational processes must be restored!
🇺🇦❤️🇵🇱
This is visible on all levels, also in the digital world. Like on the Ukrainian Wikipedia, which is growing fast right now.
wikipedia, best place to go if you want propaganda and fake biased BS>
Russian will continue to be the lingua franca.
@@IgorstadnickWhere?
The special de-russification operation is successfull.
At least one thing Russia was successful in.
Understandable. Yet English, Spanish, German, French languages are still in use all around the world.
Eastern Europeans know and remember how it was to be under Soviet rule...
💙💛🙏💙💛 I support Ukraine 100%
I speak ukrainian, english, french, polish. I learn spanish, german, slovak, czech.
Ukrainian the primary and English the secondary language. Russian is of Soviet times 31 years ago.
French second ;)
Why not German as the second language?
@@artman12 because and I and you, m'y german bro, asked this question in english 🤣
@@artman12 English is the second for most people in the world, even Germans.
A culture revolution to rid their country of Russian influence is amazing . That and the brave soldiers fighting against the oppressors is a combo that can't be beat ! SLAVA UKRAINE !
Loved the soundtrack. Good work on this.
Thanks!
What is the name of the song please ?@@artetvdocumentary
Respect to derussification, Russian language it’s language of occupants. That’s basic. Ukrainian language first, second Crimean Tatar language
6 mln ethnic Russians in Ukraine. You want them to speak ukranian only? Double standarts. Language is not something that belongs to the countries, it is the people. When you force people to stop speaking the native language it is called cultural genocide, no matter if you're Ukranian, Russian, Moldovan or whatever.
@@HorusHeresist How is it double standards? Ukrainian is the national language of Ukraine. In Russia you can even be persecuted for displaying anything Ukrainian.
Great documentary! What's the name of the song in the beginning?
"Chornobaïwka"/"Чорнобаївка"--this is the name of this song...

Note that Russia presented Ukraine as a part of itself and its history, and not COLONIES, as Western countries did with their colonies, and above all Britain!
Which is worse as British colonies were eventually given independence, and I somehow do not see British politicians urging to send their troops to Australia/Ireland/Canada, you name it - claiming they're some 'little England' or underdeveloped provinces of the almighty United Kingdom. Note that all European countries that once held colonial empires have changed, all but Russia that still perceives the world like it was 1823, not 2023
Naturally, Ukraine shares some history with Russia, just like it does with Lithuania, Poland and other neighbouring nations. Yet none of their neighbours demands Ukraine to give up its independence in the name of some historical events. Only Russia
Thanks ARTE for this topic. I only want to remind that Ukranian language in Ukraine was under strong pressure, banned, forbidden and ruined during centuries. The great part of these actions were conducted by russian empire or USSR . There is a chronology: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Ukrainian_language_suppression.
Those young women at 2:26 seem to have wisdom beyond their age . Their foresight is accurate I believe and I hope correct .
Too bad Arte didn´t start at the fight on russian language through Swoboda and other militant "patriots" after Maidan.
But i guess it´s not the doctrine to show a diverse take on a complex matter anymore...
the war didn’t start now, it started in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea and Russian soldiers coming to Donbas. Those u mentioned were fighting Russian language ahead of populous and their whole point was- open your eyes, they want to destroy us, they’ll come in 2/4/8 years and will try to conquer all of Ukraine. They were right, people didn’t listen. It’s hard until all of the territory is being bombed to understand that the goal is extermination of culture and language through the killing of most of Ukrainians
The Russian language is not to blame, is it?
It's the language of the colonisers. The same way English is the coloniser language in Ireland. Under British rule, Irish people were tortured for speaking the native language, now the language is barely spoken as a first language.
@@paptapto22 It is the language of the people. Russians lived on that land since dark ages, when colonialism wasn't even a thing.
It's possible.to have an official language but also acknowledge ethnic languages.
If you couldn't fill in a form in Ukrainian was there a Rusdian version if asked for.
In the UK, you can ask for things in gaelic or Welsh. If an immigrant it may even.be supplied in that language.
I can understand the frustration and anger at having to change but was this devastation worth wanting to fill in a form in Russian.
I know overall its more complicated than that, but a lot of people allowed that anger to be corrupted into hate and violence because they thought with emotion rather than logic.
true, it’s some pretty intense nationalism, but I suppose at the moment it’s almost inevitable.
@@chrispeng8417 sadly yes. I always remember a lady from near the start of the invasion. Kharkiv had been bombed yet again. When interviewed she was a Russian speaker who had to leave Donbas because she considered herself Ukrainian. Her new life in Kharkiv had been destroyed as well as her previous one in Donbas. Needing to move yet again.
Manufactured excuses by a geriatric despot's delusion of Novorusiya and Ruski Mir.
You should be able to understand it after what London is turning into.
@@chrispeng8417 It is survival. Russian soldiers are raping, looting, torturing, and murdering Ukrainian civilians, commuting 1000s of war crimes.
When Russia was on the offensive they shelled infrastructure and private homes into oblivion, killing woman, children, and the elderly. When there were no signs of life left, they moved in with their army to occupy what little was left. Even now that Russians are on the defensive they are using their long range missiles to target civilian populations, trying to create as much terror as possible, hoping to btreak the spirits of the Ukrainian people and will to fight.
They care so much for a language, other European people would think it's Russian or Polish 😅
Because some people are interested in nothing and as result they know nothing.
@@andrewshepitko6354 It's more about how people fight and kill cause of nationalism and stupid pride 👍
This documentary is hilarious !
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ukraine’s people should learn English, so they can tell the world what has happened to them
Agree, language is not that uncommon among the youth though
I'm learning ukrainian 🙂
@@vostok2360 Yes, I'd love to see the evidence for such a claim.
@@vostok2360 Russian communists have a way of accusing others for their own crimes against humanity. Putin is a master of deceit and propaganda being an exKGB agent.

@@HeadhuntexGamer it is very easy to look for it but you wont because you deny any such evidence. your type is the type who believes word for word what the western media propaganda outlets tells you, like a good boy. you drink the koolaid. Russia is not 100% truthful in everything, but when they say the people of donbass have been treated like second class citizens for years and years, they don't say it for nothing or as a excuse to invade and annex Ukraine like main stream media wants you to believe. that would be too easy and obvious for it to be a excuse. Ukraine has lost the support of the people of donbass by their very own fault, and they are too full of this toxic pride to even ever admit to it, some are, but they are quickly found out and silenced by the SBU. whom by the way have many secret prison all over donbass, places that the people of donbass were kidnapped and brought into for questioning, which turned out to be torturing once they got there. many were killed by the torture, what the SBU would do to evade any problems with organization like the red cross, is they would dump the half dead tortured person in front of a hospital. if you can read Ukrainian, go check the old news archive from Ukrainian news, even the Anti Russian Ukrainians were admitting doing this and were proud of doing it before it brought too much attention from the world and they simply shut up afterwards. there are far tooo many testimonies of torture and absolute horror from people who were kidnappe by the SBU. and if you were kidnapped by the AZOV, you are never seen again. People in donbass are happy when they know its the SBU even tho they know whats coming, as with the AZOV they know they aren't coming back. have you not seen the death gore videos of Azov and other militias torture of donbass civilians ? I kid you not, in one video, there is a children, which they say is from separatist parents, who they gouge both eyes and remove the entire skin of the face while the child is screaming in agony, the video lasts a little under 1 hour. the people in the Video are clearly Ukrainians speaking Ukrainians. They aren't Russians trying to trick people into thinking these are Ukrainians like the Ukrainians would instantly say, most Russians cant even speak Ukrainians but most Ukrainian speakers can speak Russian. It is very obvious when Ukrainian is spoken and when Russian is spoken, even if both language resemble each other a little. I don't know if you will be able to find the video as it is buried under thousands and thousands of other gruesome videos as it was posted around 2017, but you loose nothing in checking for yourself. the site is called deathgore just google death gore. if you support this type of people then you are one sick human being. people don't just decide to separate for no reason out of the blue, the people of donbass were pushed into separating finding no other way to stop the hell they were living. The donbass military is not perfect either lets be clear on that, they is also proof of some who have done atrocities, but mostly they are a force of good people who simply want to be left alone and decide their own future instead of a puppet regime backed by the US which would fall in a instant if it wasn't for the US.
Заметьте, что Россия подавала Украину, как часть себя и своей истории, а не КОЛОНИИ, как это делали западные страны со своими колониями, а прежде всего Британия!
so,ukraine wants to become quebec of the slavic world.
Ukraine is de facto an independent state. Pretty different
What's wrong with Québec ?
@@marc-andrechevrette3420 Seems like Mr.Khan don't like that they preserve their language, French.
@@HeadhuntexGamer Ukraine is occupied state
@@HeadhuntexGamer don't get me wrong,preserve your language all you want,but if you're a dick to others simply because they speak your language and say they deserve to die you're essentially promoting fascism and calling for genocide.
Getting rid of all these books, it is like Hitlers Germany all over again. Some people just never learn do they ? They have hate in their heart, and with hate, you will NEVER heal. My sister got murdered by her husband in 2013, I never hated him for what he did, yes angry as fck at him, but not hate. I never wished him any harm or negative, such thought only come back at the person wishing those things. my father got killed in a hit and run when I was 9, even at that age, having been brought up and raised to never hate and never keep a grudge and shun violence or revenge, I forgave the guy who hit my father and killed while he was driving drunk. I forgave my sisters husband right away when he killed my sister, because when you kill, there is obviously something wrong with the person and the persons brain.killing isn't normal, it isn't our nature yet we do it. killing other hurts us, things that are negative and hurt us are not our nature. I believe people who murder, are not in full control of their behavior, at leas t not in the moment, because logic says that killing someone will only make you rot in jail for life or hell for eternity. only to defend oneself is acceptable reason for killing but even there one should first try to incapacitate instead of killing. people with hate in their heart, people who want vengeance, people who cannot forgive, are the reason why this planet has seen constant violence and wars ever since human beings have roamed the earth. I simply don't understand that type of mentality, to me it isn't rocket science, stop the hate, get it out of your heart. it doesn't matter what wrong was done to you, you are just as much of a piece of shit if you do the same in return even if it is just wishing it. You have 2 types in life, people that have their country invaded even annexed, that find the wisdom and strength to forgive and live with the invaders and go on with life and not contribute to the violence, and the other type, who cannot see reason or be reasoned with and cannot see past their hate, never being able to let go and heal. they die with hate in their hearts, incapable of ever changing. so glad I am not like that ! The latter reminds me very much of Ukrainians. the former reminds me very much of the people of donbass.
Hitler and his Nazis burned books too. Ukrainians are being duped by the West.
I was brought up to consider Ukrainians as our brothers. If we feel close to fellow Slavs as Serbs we feel closer ties to Ukraine.
Very sad.
Westerners rejoice at the scenes above but we Russians and Ukrainians feel no satisfaction but extreme sorrow.
Hitler ordered to burn books, poems and philophical writings from philosophers who can disrupt Hitler's ideology of brainwashing the people with the "race superioty", facism and anti-semitism. He also ordered to arrest and kill authors and anyone else who could oppose his ideology. German literature is rich in human philosophy something Hitler knew well and many Germans at the time read philosophical literature alot. What the Ukrainians are doing with their Russian books has nothing to do what Hitler did. The Ukrainians are opposing the Russian ideology to replace their culture with Russian, who is the aggressor and an occupier. What you said about Hitler with your comparisson proves you know nothing about German Nazi history.
Do you know that Russian soldiers are burning Ukrainian book in Donbas?
Not true. Did you know that is exactly what Ukrainians are doing to any books in Russian ? They are emptying libraries of any book in Russian. Yet you can still find books written in the Ukrainian language in the territories that joined the Russian Federation. You also find books written in Ukrainian language in Russia. So what does this tells us ? It tells us that Ukrainian society is intolerant and has a lot to learn. @@davidedeblasi4669
No you are the one who understands nothing. How old are you ? There is no justification to burn or get rid of books. None. Saying ''they invaded me'' is not a excuse to get rid of books. Are you stupid ? Russians ARE NOT trying to ''replace'' anything in Ukraine. Define to me what is this ''Russian ideology'' ? I guarantee you that you cant because you yourself don't even know what the hell you are talking about. If Russia really had intent to erase Ukraine and anything Ukrainian, they would have nuked the whole damn country at the very start of the conflict. @@forestmanzpedia
