Today, in the conference hall of the Lutsk hotel "Ukraina," a press conference was held for representatives of local media, with the participation of the head of the Volyn Oblast Organization of the VO "Svoboda" Anatoliy Vitiv, his deputy Ruslan Tymoshchuk, and the head of the VOMO "Spilna Diia" Oleh Kenbalai. The participants of the press conference presented to journalists a party initiative – the launch of the all-Ukrainian campaign "Sign the letter of Ukrainians to the people's President." The collection of signatures in support of the letter will be conducted in every district of our oblast. We provide a quote from the corresponding address: "After the elections, we observe with surprise: the intrigues of Your (the President's – author's note) entourage around the power pie; the privatization of the fruits of the revolution; the way the main mafiosi are given the opportunity to easily escape and cover their tracks (Medvedchuks, Bakais, Surkises, Kivalovs, and other associates of Kuchma); the 'dyed foxes' who run in packs to the new ruling party; the attempts to impose 'velikii i maguchii' [Russian] on Ukrainians as a second state language and thus legitimize the consequences of creeping Kuchma-era Russification (such initiatives also come from Your close entourage!)." Regarding the last thesis, representatives of the VO "Svoboda" sharply criticized the draft Decree of the President of Ukraine "On the Protection of Citizens' Rights to Use the Russian Language and Languages of Other Nationalities of Ukraine," which addresses the use of the Russian language or the language of other nationalities in the work of local executive bodies and local self-government bodies in places of compact residence of national minorities. Ruslan Tymoshchuk noted that he is very concerned that in the President's entourage there are officials such as Poroshenko or Zinchenko who lobby for the issue of bilingualism in Ukraine. According to Mr. Tymoshchuk, the more important problem is improving the Law of Ukraine "On Languages in Ukraine," taking into account the European experience of strict protection of state languages. Also, the deputy head of the VOO VO "Svoboda" noted that, contrary to Art. 10 of the Constitution of Ukraine and the decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, some politicians continue to provoke the issue of bilingualism. As an example of the "first swallow" of such political technologies, Mr. Tymoshchuk cited the holding by the oblast branch of the "Soiuz" party of a picketing action at the Volyn Oblast State Administration, in which students of a local Russian-language school were involved. Regarding this fact, representatives of the VOO VO "Svoboda" sent a corresponding appeal to the education department of the Lutsk City Executive Committee.
