Abstracts

The article highlights the basic ways some well-paid present-day politiciaus and publicist slant our language issue and structure reality in images. The analysis discloses the elements of propaganda in their tactics as they spread news, arguments, rumours and lies to influence public opinion. The study discredits the fable that the Ukrainians willingly switch from their language to Russian as well as shatters other myths concocted to prove that bilingualism is historically valid, that Ukraine is totally Russianised, that its population is split and polarized, that the Ukrainian language is artificial, inadequate, unspoken and dead. The false images of the situation are meant to impose a radical shift in the language of the Ukrainians and change their citizenship.
