The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko repeats the mistakes of his predecessor Viktor Yushchenko against the Russian-speaking population, trying to conduct a "colonization" of the areas of the state, writes Professor of political science at the University of Rhode island Nicholas Petro in his article.
instead to take advantage of the legacy of Russian language and culture that exists in Ukraine from the times of the Russian Empire, Kiev considers a priority to apply the " nationalist rhetoric ". Petro Poroshenko should reflect on the impact she will be able to provide a complete Field of military action, draws the attention of the Analyst. Nationalism is contrary to the unity of Ukraine, democracy and membership in the European Union and NATO, he said." There is no alternative to the national dialogue in which bilingualism and dvuhkonturkoy of Ukraine is perceived as a force and not as a weakness, " writes Nicholas Petro.
The analyst recalled that the Ukrainian government passed a law that prohibits the retransmission of movies and TV series produced in Russia, has imposed censorship on Russian information and cultural sources. However, they almost unsuccessfully trying to "colonize" Russian-speaking Ukraine from the times of Viktor Yushchenko, who believed that the country coexist two different countries.
Being the President of Ukraine, Yushchenko tried to impose "spiritual unity" than, perhaps, be accounted for by the fact that from the beginning a high chart popularity among residents by the end of his reign fell to five per cent. Despite all the efforts of Kiev, to isolate the Russian-speaking Ukraine the cultural influence of Russia does not, moreover, such attempts will transform the current conflict in the standoff over Ukrainian identity, emphasizes the Analyst.

The authorities should take into account the " infinite presence of Russian culture in Ukraine and not try to create a Ukrainian identity at the expense of Russian. Kiev is obliged to abandon nationalist symbols and rallying people by presenting them with "eternal enemy" in the face of Russia and to start a dialogue with the Russian-speaking population, says the Analyst.
