: :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.
Once again I will put my 2 cents in.Newspapers depend on people that read them,if a person writes to the Newspaper they might not pay attention.But you get 100(hundred) or more and write to the Newspaper they dam well will pay attention.Its how is done because it shows people are interested what the paper prints,or what language they use.Thats called people unity and demand what people want to read,or they will not buy.If people ignor or do not pay attention and buy other Newspaper there will be no change,just bunch of complaints between themsels.Same thing goes radio,television,newspapers and magazines on and on,there is no end to this.The people have the buying power not producer or manufactuer but it has to be demanded by group of people the larger the better it show unity.About Rossia being poor my good man,Rossia is one of the richest countries in the world.They always had slaves from other countries to fight for them.But now only poor Rossians for the army,and plenty of money for the equipment and ammunition.Most Rossiany are brain washed and poor but they are happy to have"Strong Powerful and Rich Rossia. Army has a slogan"For mother Rossia"and they go thru fire,water,ice and hell to gain more territory for the elite.Rossia spends more money in former soviet republics for propaganda and cause problems so maybe they will gain back what soviet union had,and they doing good job of it, confusing lots of weak minded people .But they need the most important number one to join them first it is "Ukraine" and rest will in place.
