LANGUAGE POLICY IN INDEPENDENT UKRAINE: BETWEEN INCREASING THE STATUS OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE
The article provides an overview of the legal norms regulating language issues at the time of the birth of Ukrainian statehood, as well as the changes which occurred in this area at different stages of independence, in particular during the presidency of V. Yanukovych as a result of the adoption of the act on principles of language policy, and in the period following the Revolution of Dignity, when the act on ensuring the functioning of Ukrainian as the official language was adopted. In addition, the article shows which political forces gave their support to the language laws adopted during the period of independence and what position civil society representatives took towards the proposed legal solutions.
