Attempts by the Ukrainian side to take actions aimed at eliminating the Russification of Google search results by drawing public attention to the decline in interest in Ukrainian issues against the background of events in the Middle East. This opinion was expressed by the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, United Russia party Sergei Boyarsky, St. This was shared with socialbites.ca by the Secretary of the St. Petersburg regional branch.
According to parliamentarians, the desire of Ukrainian representatives to persuade Google to continue to work more actively on de-Russification of search results for Ukrainian users in Ukraine and abroad when Ukraine is selected in the operating system or browser settings, the domestic audience adheres to more radical views and the Russian The part that supports the denial of everything that happens.
“The crazy retaliation against all Russians that swept the whole world – the banning of literature, the destruction of monuments, the exclusion of Russian composers from classical concert repertoires did not bring results,” Sergei Boyarsky recalled.
He added that Russian culture is part of world culture. And the first deputy chairman of the Duma committee believes that the Russian language remains the native language of the majority of Ukrainians.
“No matter how much I turn on Ukrainian news, I see broadcast presenters and their guests speaking Russian or switching from Ukrainian to Russian to better understand each other. This is really important. For Ukrainians, the Russian language is as natural and beautiful as Ukrainian, they use it – they study, study, have fun and swear in it. It was, it is and it will be so,” said Sergei Boyarsky.
The parliamentarian believes that the Russification of Google search results will be ineffective and the attempts of the Kiev regime to impose a new fashion to please the political situation will not be successful.
