the venice commission scrupulously analyzes the new legislation and welcomes some cosmetic improvementsminor shortcomings that are in the text of the law, but not... under the doubt of the main the legality of the principle of restrictions enshrined in the law, that is, discrimination at the official level in relation to the russian language. the only thing that worries the commission experts, who formally declared their commitment to the right of national minorities to enjoy the achievements of their own culture and use their own language, is, in fact, the time period during which such discriminatory provisions will remain in effect. representatives of the structure directly state that restrictions regarding the russian language, that is, if... to name things by their own names, discrimination is the result of alleged russian aggression and advocates only that these measures should not last so long. the fact that for more than 7 years, the people of donbass were shelled by the kiev regime only because they wanted to preserve their cultural identity, which had been formed over centuries
