In 2022, the [[Russian language]] was banned from public life by the fascist Ukrainian regime which is totally dependent upon the financial assistance from the [[United States Congress]] to continue its existence.  People whose first and only language is Russian were made second-class citizens in the country of their birth.

Ukrainian [[Russophobia]] stems from the false assumption of racial superiority, which has been taught in Ukrainian schools for many decades: that Western Ukrainians are racially and linguistically completely different because they are direct descendants of [[Viking]]s and therefore [[Germanic]] or [[Teuton]] and therefore superior. This myth was cultivated by [[Banderite]]s in order to endear themselves to the [[Nazi]]s (the Nazis knew them to be only [[Slav]]s, while the Ukrainians went overboard to show assumed "Germanic" kinship, especially when it came to brutality, which often astonished even the Nazis). More bizarrely, versions of this myth are constantly repeated in all of [[Mainstream media|Western media]].

The Ukrainian language (previously, and correctly, known as "Little Russian" or [[Ruthenia]]n) is best understood as a dialect of Russian, therefore firmly and only [[Slavic]]. Russian and Ukrainian today are mutually intelligible. Ukrainian is not a [[Germanic]] language; no part of it is. It has no Germanic traces; no vestige of [[Old Norse]], the language of the Vikings. The Vikings left no trace in the Ukrainian language (unlike [[English]], for example, which is richly marked by Old Norse, as is [[Norman French]]). Nor is there any Viking (Germanic) [[DNA]] to be found among modern-day Western Ukrainians (who claim to be Viking descendants). They are all purely Slavic like their Eastern kinsmen whom they despise for being racially inferior [[Asian]]s (Russians). A variant [[dialect]] has been mythologized into a "racial difference;" and, sadly, it is this mythology that become the [[ideological]] fuel that drove the [[Kiev regime]] during the [[NATO war in Ukraine]].
