A leaflet with this content is being distributed in Kyiv universities. It turns out one can get rich thanks to the Ukrainian language. Here is its text:
$ KPI students have a chance to get rich
Student of the East Ukrainian University named after V. Dal, Serhiy Melnychuk, filed a lawsuit complaining about the violation of his right to study in Ukrainian, since instruction at his university is conducted in the state language of the Russian Federation. The court of the city of Luhansk granted the student's claim and obligated the Rector of the University to conduct instruction for this student in Ukrainian. The court awarded payment to the student of 1000 hryvnias as compensation for the moral harm inflicted upon him.
The court could not have issued any other ruling, because according to all Ukrainian laws and according to the explanation of the Constitutional Court, instruction in Ukrainian universities must be conducted in the state Ukrainian language.
Therefore, every KPI student can now file a lawsuit in connection with the violation of his constitutional rights and receive monetary compensation. After all, the majority of KPI instructors, contrary to the recommendations of Rector M. Zghurovsky and the decisions of the KPI Academic Council, still conduct their courses in the state language of the neighboring state.
If any of the KPI students feels himself to be a Ukrainian (and not a Russified khokhol), let him call 8-050-284-01-33 (Heorhiy) and he will receive a sample statement of claim to the court and all necessary assistance.
Do not be afraid! Fear leads to betrayal. Let us not betray our language! Let us defend it! Without the Ukrainian language there will be neither Ukrainians nor Ukraine! Let us force KPI instructors to abide by the laws of Ukraine, and not by the decrees of Russian tsars and Kremlin leaders.
