You can't use HN for nationalistic flamewar, and we ban accounts that do, so please don't post like this again.

I realize that other commenters have been doing it in this thread, too, but your comments stand out as particularly hellish, between this one and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32240516, which I can't believe anyone would post to HN—at least not any user with an established commenting history.

Of course I understand that there are deep emotions here, deep history, and also that there is a war going on which not only touches on these wounds but reopens them wide. Nevertheless you can't post like this to Hacker News, for reasons that should be clear if you review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Please review the guidelines and don't do this again.

There's another point, too. You've posted the same kind of thing in the past: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31997340 on a completely unrelated topic. In other words, this pattern of breaking the guidelines isn't just about the understandable emotions of the current moment—it also exists separately from that. So please correct this pattern, not just on one topic, but on all of them.

You're a good HN user otherwise and welcome here, but we can't allow accounts to be good users some of the time and burn the place down other times.

Yes, you make some good points about the purposeful dominance of a certain aspect of Russian culture in Ukraine.

These people don’t mention that Ukraine schools only teach Russian Literature. There was no Ukrainian Literature. No World Literature. They don’t mention that Russian language classes are the default in schools. That many teachers discourage the learning subjects in Ukrainian language. That many Ukrainians do not have any knowledge of their ancestors because of Leaders in the Soviet Union did not want them to have any feeling of nationality.

There is a reason that Russia is funding Russian learning Schools in Kazakhstan.

Where did you get that? There is Ukrainian Literature as a subject, and World Literature where Russian literature had some place. It's a mandatory part of the curriculum countrywide. Geez, there even was "Soviet Ukrainian Literature" subject in '80s, although it only had writers in it that were deemed benign for the regime.

I'll grant you that in the eastern parts, there had been very high degree of push to opt-in for Russian Language & Literature classes and Ukrainian had been taught by incompetent twats who couldn't speak it.
