"Ukrainians are raped, killed... I'd rather learn Japanese!" The star of "Sweet Darusia" explained why it is necessary to eradicate the Russian language

Famous Ukrainian actress, and star of the play "Sweet Darusia" Halyna Barankevych explained in an accessible way why it is necessary to completely eradicate Russian from our society. She emphasized that if we continue to tolerate the language of the enemy, we will never get rid of the inferiority complex.

The artist shared her position in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA. The celebrity noted that by using the Russian language, Ukrainians demonstrate disrespect for themselves.

"There is definitely an inferiority complex. I mean, my people and my friends are being shelled, and killed, and there are portraits of people I knew personally on the hundred-meter marker! Russians rape and abuse me, so I'd rather learn Japanese, but I don't want to know you! That's how much disrespect you have for yourself!" the actress said.

According to Halyna Barankevych, who works as an acting teacher at King Danylo University, it is very difficult to remove Russism from the minds of contemporaries, because it is deeply rooted. She noted that since ancient times, our people have been obsessed with the cultural achievements of the enemy because they positioned them as "great."

The star gave a simple example of how other nations view themselves, which demonstrates a clear difference with Ukrainians.

"I'm surprised at people who, in today's situation, don't have the pride that Poles have, where they proudly say: I am a Pole! And you can't lie to me!" the artist said.
