"Genocidal rhetoric of the Russian regime": the Russian Federation has legalized the discrimination of Ukrainians - analyst

According to the analyst Sergiy Zhukov, the Russian occupying power is conducted in the captured territories "candid linguocide". The legislative framework of the Russian Federation contains "openly discriminatory" norms against ethnic Ukrainians. Some provisions of the laws are components of genocide, others deny the existence of the Ukrainian nation as such.

Such a statement was made by Serhiy Zhukov, an analyst at the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security at the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy, during a presentation of the study "Genocidal rhetoric of the Russian regime". About it reports the UNN agency. "In the legislation of the Russian Federation, of course, genocide rhetoric was not revealed and it could not be there . . .

Which was interesting in Russian legislation - a number of openly discriminatory norms for Ukrainians. How about Ukrainians in the occupied territories, which the Russian Federation controls and considers part of the Russian Federation its territory and citizens of Russia of Ukrainian ethnic origin, " - said the analyst. According to Sergiy Zhukov, membership in public organizations related to the Ukrainian diaspora outside Ukraine is prohibited in Russia.

"They have lists of unwanted organizations that have been introduced, for example, the" World Congress of Ukrainians. " Zhukov said that the Russian occupying power is conducting in the captured territories "outspoken linguocide", that is, it narrows the use of the Ukrainian language, literally destroying it. "It should also be noted that Russian legislation creates a legal framework for committing actions that are components of a crime of genocide.

That is, forced deportations, forced movement of Ukrainian children from one national group to another," Zhukov said. It is the destruction of national identity that simplified adoption and certification procedures, as well as deportation of Ukrainians from the occupied territories "for humanitarian reasons". For this purpose, relevant laws are passed, decrees, instructions and orders are issued.

In addition, as Zhukov points out, the existence of the Ukrainian people is not recognized in the acts of annexation of the Ukrainian territories. "They replace it with some counterfeiters such as the people of Crimea, the people of Zaporizhzhya region, the people of Donetsk region or the republic, etc. ," said Sergei Zhukov. Recall that the occupiers are threatened by parents to select children without passports of the Russian Federation.
