| Summary/Abstract |
SUPPORT OF COMPATRIOTS is the most important priority of the city government's activity and a key vector in our international relations. Ethnocultural identity and citizens' rights to their native language and culture are sensitive issues for all states. At the same time, we are well aware that in many CIS countries the Russian language is glaringly and severely repressed and the rights of the Russian-speaking population are deliberately and at times cynically violated. A big problem has been unexpectedly and artificially created in recent years with respect to the status of the Russian language and Russian-speaking population in Ukraine. It is the government that has initiated this problem, and not the fraternal Ukrainian people.
