Describing the situation, Burmaka could not restrain herself and swore at her fellow travelers.
“I got on the train. In the compartment with me were two women under 70. Russian language, tea, manners, Dostoevsky and all this crap. Fuck. I tell them: “Well, how can you? Rockets are flying at you too.” And they told me: “The Russian language did not attack you,” the artist recounted the conversation. “I’m crying in the vestibule. Yes, it hurts. I don’t know how to deal with this.”
The singer was supported by her fans.
“That’s the diagnosis,” they said in the comments.
“Even the war didn’t teach people anything,” noted the artist’s fans.
“You can’t change these dinosaurs,” they say online.
“As I understand you. Don’t cry. Walk around like shit in the middle of the road,” the singer was advised.
Context
Law of Ukraine “On the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language” entered into force on July 16, 2019. It regulates the use of the state language in various spheres of public life and provides for liability for its violation.
From January 2021, all service providers are required to serve clients in the state language. At the request of the consumer, you can switch to another language if this suits both parties.
The language law does not regulate private communication and religious practices.
For nine months of 2025 The secretariat of the Commissioner for the Protection of the State Language registered 2,227 complaints from citizens about violations of the Law of Ukraine “On the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language” – this is 27% more than in the same period last year.
