LANGUAGE POLICY OF UKRAINE IN 2017 \u2013 2019<\/p>\n

Heading: <\/strong>Researches
\nLanguage: <\/strong>Ukrainian<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The paper considers the adoption of the law \u201cOn Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language\u201d by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on April 25, 2019 as the greatest achievement of the state language policy. The most important norms of the use of the Ukrainian language as the state language implemented by this law are analyzed. The countermeasures to the procedure of the adoption and implementation of the law by the pro-Russian deputy corps part are also clarified.<\/p>\n

With respect to the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2019, the provisions in the programs of presidential candidates and parties addressing the country’s language issues and proposed solutions, are considered.<\/p>\n

The election program of Petro Poroshenko as well as his great role in granting Tomos on the autocephaly to the Ukrainian Church and implementation of a series of supporting actions for Ukrainian culture have demonstrated the evolution of the Poroshenko\u2019s attitude to the language policy tasks. From tolerating bilingual development of the country at the beginning of his presidency, he has moved to the Ukraine-centered position in his last years in the post.<\/p>\n

Yulia Tymoshenko promised to provide a state financial support for the \u201ccultural and spiritual development of the people, preservation and enhancement of its cultural heritage\u201d in the case of winning the elections. Particular attention in her program was given to the promotion of the Ukrainian culture abroad.<\/p>\n

In his program, Volodymyr Zelensky avoided mentioning the language issues. Such position is obviously explained by his intention to gain electorate support both in the western and eastern regions. According to the election results, the strategy chosen by Zelensky and his team has proven to be successful.<\/p>\n

The paper also evidences the fallacy of the thesis about 135 nations in Ukraine, present in the Inna Bohoslovska\u2019s program.<\/p>\n

Most of the 22 political parties taking part in the 2019 parliamentary election process avoided mentioning language issues.<\/p>\n

Only two parties with opposite political orientations, namely the All-Ukrainian Union \u201cSvoboda\u201d and the Opposition Platform \u2013 For Life, have paid considerable attention to the language policy problems.<\/p>\n

Keywords<\/strong>: language policy, language legislation, state language, Russian language, national minorities languages.<\/p>\n
