We have already written about the mistakes that Viktor Yanukovych periodically makes while serving as prime minister. Repeatedly and objectively. As well as about all other mistakes of the authorities. We also wrote about the grammatical errors that can be found in Viktor Fedorovych's declaration submitted to the Central Election Commission. And we even treated this condescendingly. Well, a person doesn't know how to spell their own job title, what can you do?
Or, for example, the autograph given to some newspaper — "z lyubovyu" [with love, misspelled]. Let it be unclear. Illiterate. But sincere...
But when the editorial office received a document called the "Questionnaire of a candidate for the post of President," filled out by Viktor Yanukovych, the philological instinct of the "Glavred" correspondents (most of whom are graduates of the philology faculty of Taras Shevchenko University) outweighed personal sympathies. On a single page we counted as many as 10 mistakes!!!
Could it really be that Viktor Fedorovych had no one to tell him how to spell words correctly? This very question torments us to this day. Viktor Fedorovych, if you don't have one or two Ukrainian language teachers at hand, the editorial office offers to act as your consultants! For free! So to speak, as humanitarian aid!
Firstly, the Questionnaire states (see below) that Viktor Fedorovych was born in the city of "Yenakiyevo, Donetsk obl." [misspelled]. The prime minister probably does not realize that the city of Yenakiyevo does not exist on the map of Ukraine. Just as the city of "Donetsk" [misspelled in Russian] does not. The prime minister probably meant "Donetsk" [correct Ukrainian spelling]. It should be noted that the word "Ukraine" is written without mistakes. Next. In the "academic degree" field it is written — "doktor ekonomicheskikh nauk" [doctor of economic sciences, misspelled], and where the academic title is indicated — "professor" [misspelled].
The position, as in the declaration, is written as "premier-minister" [misspelled]. In public work, Yanukovych is a member of the "presidium of the National Academy of Sciences," as well as the head of the "National Olympic Committee" [misspelled].
Things are not so simple in the spelling of proper names either. Despite the fact that the son's name is written correctly in Ukrainian — "Oleksandr," the wife's patronymic is already written with an "A" — Alexandrivna.
However, anyone who wishes can familiarize themselves with the Questionnaire of presidential candidate Yanukovych personally: questionnaire
