[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My extended family grew up in Soviet Armenia. Their birth certificates are written in Armenian. Their names are unmistakably Armenian. Family language was always Armenian though everyone is fluent in Russian with an accent. There goes your Russification theory.[/quote]

Maybe in Armenia it was a theory. In Ukraine, it was an undeniable fact. [/quote]

Why do people invalidate others’ lives experience because of a family tale? Pp, go ask your older relatives about Russification, you’ll learn a few things.

Case in point: Moldova. Territory taken from Romania in 1945. Russified to use the Cyrillic alphabet. They were brainwashed to believe they spoke a different language than Romanian- Moldovan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russification
Moldova: “The cultural and linguistic effects of Russification manifest themselves in persistent identity questions. During the breakup of the Soviet Union, this led to separation of a large and industrialized portion of the country, becoming the de facto independent state of Transnistria, whose main official language is Russian.“[/quote]

How is one family tale more important than another family tale?[/quote]

It’s MY lived experience, not a selective family tale.

Just because they had Armenian names doesn’t mean Armenia wasn’t Russified. Read the Wikipedia entry and ask your elders. Did they specifically told you there was no Russification, or did you draw that conclusion yourself just because they could speak Armenian?[/quote]
