Another scandal over the Russian language has erupted in Ukraine. This time, it centered on young people who were ostentatiously watching a Russian TV series in a compartment of a Ukrzaliznytsia train.
Journalist Tetyana Teren reported this on Facebook.
She reported how she managed to deal with her compartment neighbors on the train, who were watching the series in Russian and responded to the comments by saying that they were acting as they saw fit.
"Kramatorsk-Kherson train. I'm going from Poltava to Kyiv. In the next compartment, a couple is watching a Russian-language series without headphones - from some phrases I understand that it's something about "cops". When asked to put on headphones, because I don't want to listen to that, I received a classic that I haven't heard in Ukraine since my student days: we do what we want to do, don't get into our compartment," the journalist wrote.
She contacted Ukrzaliznytsia through her contacts to ask them to respond to the situation.
"The issue has been resolved: therefore, in such situations, letters to the Ukrzaliznytsia email address (very promptly) and the involvement of a conductor work," added Tetyana Teren.
