ABSTRACT

On the basis of the same stereotype which someone or other has imposed, the Ukrainian’s natural desire to develop his native tongue arouses an almost traditional reaction “Oh, here we go again!”, followed by the traditional term. Yet Lenin, in the “Resolution of the Russian Communist Party Central Committee on Soviet Power in Ukraine,” regarded the Ukrainian language as a most important means of communist education of the working masses, and called for every possible resistance to attempts to push it into the background. The republic’s economic sovereignty creates and supports conditions for a free development of the Ukrainian ethnos, for the native population, for which the republic is the only territory for its national being and historical continuity. The economic sovereignty of the republic ensures the well-being and self-realization of all the nationalities living in Ukraine. Constant attention to interethnic relations has also been paid by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine.
