	Ukrainophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Ukrainophone is a person who speaks the Ukrainian language.
		Ukrainophones tend to be the majority in the western and central part of the country, and in the countryside, while many people, including ethnic Ukrainians, in the east and the large cities are Russophones.
		In Canada the term Ukrainophone is also used to differentiate Ukrainian language-speakers from ethnically Ukrainian Canadians in general.

	A future Ukraine: one nation, two languages, three cultures? (06/06/99)
		The Ukrainophone world has been firmly associated with a narrow circle of dissidents depicted as imperialistic agents, or crazy nationalists), a ghettoized Writers' Union (talentless puppets), and, by and large, with backward, uncivilized villages that have had no prospects for the future.
		In cultural and linguistic terms however it is rather "Russian," in nature, i.e., unsympathetic to Ukrainophones (with their allegedly "western Ukrainian nationalistic obsession," and is strongly biased against the Ukrainian culture and language.
		First, the Ukrainophone Ukrainians who had managed to defend their linguistic identity under the enormous pressure of the Russian and Soviet empires, would never agree to be marginalized and turned into a minority within independent Ukraine.

	Ukrainian language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In Kyiv and central Ukraine Russian is the language of nearly all city-dwellers, although there is a shift towards Ukrainian; in eastern Ukraine, Russian is dominant and a Russified Ukrainian spoken in some circles, while in the Crimea Ukrainian is almost absent.
		Use of the Ukrainian language in Ukraine can be expected to increase, as the rural population of Ukraine (still overwhelmingly Ukrainophone) migrates to Ukrainian cities and the Ukrainian language enters into wider use in central Ukraine.
		Ukrainian is also spoken by a large emigre population, particularly in Canada.

	ANALYSIS: The myth of Russophone unity in Ukraine (11/19/00)
		Since those elections, the prevailing view among many scholars and policymakers in the West has been that Ukraine is clearly divided into two linguistic halves: "nationalist, pro-European and Ukrainophone" western Ukraine and "Russophile, pro-Eurasian and Russophone" eastern Ukraine.
		Most observers argued that language data in the 1989 Soviet census were flawed and that the actual number of Ukrainophones was far smaller than the number of Russophones in Ukraine.
		Moreover, a large proportion of Ukrainians, perhaps even the majority, are bilingual and therefore cannot be characterized as either purely Ukrainophone or Russophone.

	Ukrainian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The widening use of Ukrainian further developed in the first years of Bolshevik rule into a policy called Korenization.
		The government pursued a policy of Ukrainianization (Ukrayinizatsiya, actively promoting the Ukrainian language), both in the government and among party personnel, and an impressive education program which raised the literacy of the Ukrainophone rural areas.
		In the south and the east of Ukraine, Russian is prevalent even in rural areas, and in Crimea, Ukrainian is almost absent.

	Ukrainization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The rapidly developed Ukrainian-language based education system dramatically raised the literacy of the Ukrainophone rural population.
		The share of secondary school students obtaining education in Ukrainian increased over the first decade from 47.9% to 67%, which roughly corresponds to the share of native Ukrainian speakers - 67,5%.
		However, the schools continued to be transferred to the Ukrainian language of instruction well past the end-1990 when their share reached the share of Ukrainophone population and the process continues to this day.

		I strongly criticize their approach to Ukrainian matters in my own (forthcoming) work, but I think they deserve serious engagement.
		Thus my modest proposal for counteracting the russocentric policies of the Kharkiv school would be to help the ukrainophone flank of Ukraine's feminist/gender scholarship, in Kyiv, L'viv and elsewhere.
		Bring their work to the broader international attention; aid in the efforts of making more non-ex-Soviet feminist/gender scholarship available in Ukrainian.

		The KPU finished first only in eastern and southern oblasts, with the exception of Donetsk, and showed its highest support in Luhansk Oblast (39.69 percent) and the Crimean Autonomous Republic (33.95 percent).
		These results confirm a pattern of the left being unpopular in the west, the SPU dominating the leftist vote in the Ukrainophone center, and the KPU in the Russophone east and south.
		Voters turned their backs on the two Russian nationalist blocs (the Russian Bloc and the Union of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia bloc) that advocated Ukraine's membership into the Russia-Belarus Union, Russian as a second state language, and Russians constitutionally defined as a second titular nation -- as those blocs obtained a combined 1.16 percent.

		Autonomy and even separatism, subjects that were long taboo in Ukraine, are now being openly discussed in mainstream Ukrainian publications.
		Unlike the earlier association of this phenomenon with Russophone eastern Ukraine and the Crimea, it is now to be found in Ukrainophone western Ukraine.
		Although calls for autonomy are more common than separatist demands, a recent poll found that 40 percent of western Ukrainians would support separatism if Ukraine were to join the Russia-Belarus Union.

	Language Log: Politics and language in Ukraine
		Crucially, even in round one the opposition managed to win all Ukrainian regions in the West as well as the Centre of the country, including – by a large margin – the largely Russiophone capital city Kyiv.
		The government has always liked to pretend that the opposition’s base was restricted to the Ukrainophone West, implying that it was “nationalist”, even “separatist.” Some Western observers still cling to these facile stereotypes.
		It is Yanukovych who has been cornered in a minority of eastern oblasts.

	Leopolis: Microscopic, Telescopic Views
		For the past few days, observers have been looking at Ukraine at the cellular level, attempting to understand the palace intrigues of a few top elite clamoring for power.
		The usual cynics naturally vapidly equate the struggles of Ukrainian democracy as another "failure of US-backed democracy promotion in East Europe." The most common explanation is that Ukraine is divided because of ethno-historical reasons: Ukrainophone West Ukraine versus Russophone East Ukraine (been to Kiev, anyone?).
		Other opinions have amazingly called the current standoff a "triumph of democracy." Taken from the view of Moscow, liberal democracy in Ukraine is thriving, according to Valery Panyushkin:
