Makarevich's wife, who lived in Kyiv until she was 20, gave an unequivocal answer about Russian as the official language in Ukraine

Einat Klein, a journalist, businesswoman, and wife of Andrey Makarevich, the leader of the rock band Mashina Vremeni, who lived in Kyiv until she was 20, has a clear answer about the Russian language in Ukraine. She does not support the thesis that it is necessary to introduce the language of the enemy as the state language.

Although she has been living in Israel for many years, and the last time she was in her homeland was before the full-scale war, she remembers her native language perfectly. Einat Klein spoke about this in an interview with OBOZ.UA.

Despite the fact that there are various theses on the language issue in society, the Kyiv native does not share them.

"As you can see, I'm answering your questions in Ukrainian (smiles). In my opinion, Ukrainian should be the state language of Ukraine," the wife of the Time Machine frontman explained to.

The journalist had no chance to forget her native language. Until 2022, her closest relatives remained in Kyiv, and she visited them several times a year. Today, our interlocutor's older relatives continue to live in the Ukrainian capital.

"My father's relatives, his mother, sister, and her children remain in Kyiv. Of course, every day brings new worries about their lives," Einat Klein admitted.

After Ukraine's victory over Russia, she plans to return to her hometown to have coffee in her favorite coffee shop. At the moment, she considers such "tourism" to be unethical.
