: Dear Charles,
: I absolutely agree with you. I think that the Ukrainian society does not consist of ethnic Ukrainians only. Ukrainian Russians, Ukrainian Jews, Ukrainian Tartars etc are 100% Ukrainian citizens, the same as Ukrainian Ukrainians, and therefore they have the right for any democratic changes they want in the Ukrainian society.
But considering the fact that there are a lot more Ukrainian Ukrainians than other Ukrainians, other Ukrainians as a minority can't dictate to majority, right? They do not have a right for any global changes in society if Ukrainian Ukrainians (approx. 76% of population) disagree with it. The totalitarism times are gone.
: It could be language, constitution or whatever.
: PS I've noticed that narrow-minded people are more vocal.
It's because "wide-minded" (on your opinion) people haven't found this forum yet. Some of them did and never mind that they showed their blinding stupidity, they have shown theip "wide minds." I don't mean you, at least you sometimes explain the flow of your thoughts. Some people don't (see: "THERE IS NO UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE, THERE IS NO UKRAINIAN CULTURE, etc. , etc. , etc...")
