Joseph neglects to mention that another of the first acts of the Rada following the governmental overthrow was to abolish the language law of 2012 which granted limited language rights on a localized basiss where there was determined to be sufficient "local language" speakers other than Ukrainian.
Roger, this is really outrageous. You are repeating the RT.com talking points without even bothering to acknowledge that some of us have been putting them under microscope long before you became a subscriber. Yes, some rightwinger proposed this but it was not passed. What if some Tea Party legislator proposed legislation to ban the teaching of evolution in Kentucky? It does not mean that it was an "act", does it, if it is voted down?
In terms of the language question, this is really the best way to understand it:
