The fact that Russian speakers choose Lviv for residence speaks volumes — Mardan

The fact that Russian-speaking residents of Ukraine choose Lviv for residence speaks volumes. A well-known journalist and radio host Sergey Mardan wrote about this in his telegram channel.

"In Lviv, St. Mikolai does not wear gifts to "Muscovite" kids," the journalist writes.

He cited as an example a fragment of correspondence in one of the messengers, where people complain about the harassment of children in kindergartens in Lviv on the basis of language.

"Galician raguli popularly explain to Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine that they are not Ukrainians at all and gifts to them from a racially faithful Ukrainian saint, whom for some reason they consider to be Nicholas the Wonderworker, are not allowed. But Russian speakers stubbornly do not understand and continue to imagine themselves as Ukrainians," Mardan writes.

According to him, the very fact that a person who considers Russian to be his native language chooses Lviv for residence, "and then is genuinely surprised when the local Papuans spit in his face, says a lot."

"These are, of course, the consequences of the largest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century, after which Russian people were systematically brainwashed, turning (and eventually turning) them into Ukrainians, I don't know who," concluded Mardan.
