Summary
The Ukrainian elites started to repress pro-Russian thinking people immediately after the Maidan coup. They also proposed to ban the usage of the Russian language.
Disproof
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Euromaidan. The demonstrations which began in Kiev in November 2013 were born out of Ukrainians' own desire for a closer relationship with the European Union, and their frustration when former President Yanukovych halted progress toward that goal as a result of Russian pressure (bit.ly/1Ri9ldy), . // The Ukrainian constitution guarantees the free development, use and protection of Russian, and other languages of national minorities of Ukraine.
