:А я тобі скажу, що в Києві ти не купиш в ЖОДНОМУ підземному переході чи на вході в метро ЖОДНОЇ української газети чи журналу - десятки ВИКЛЮЧНО російських видань. Є ще "Kyiv Post" і російськомовний "День", але українське видання останнього ти не знайдеш.
Let's think for a while about this serious problem in Ukraine: total lack of Ukrainian language newspapers. I don' think it is some conscious policy of Ukraine's government that you can't buy in Kyiv any newspaper in Ukrainian. It is not a secret that most of Russian language newspapers is sponsored from Russia.
TO OUR DEAR UKRAINIAN DIASPORA: Could you please tell me, how come poor Russia can sponsor thousands of publications in Ukraine, while you, our dear Ukrainian Americans, Canadians, etc. could not publish one single Ukrainian newspaper that was interesting, popular among Ukrainians, and could be bought on every corner in Kyiv?
It's nice to speak about the lack of patriotism among Ukrainians in Ukraine, who earn $30 a month if they are lucky enough. What did YOU do to help Ukrainian language reclaim its position as a true state language of Ukraine? Thank you for your answers.
