State Duma deputy explained how to deal with Kherson foreign Ukrainians
Igor Kastyukevich, a State Duma deputy in charge of the Kherson region, has found a way to suppress local residents who deliberately demand they speak the "mova."
In such cases, the deputy simply switches to the Tatar language, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" We went into a store to buy cigarettes, and the big woman who worked there said, 'Speak the language ,'" the host of the PolitWera channel recounted a story that's quite common in the new regions of the Russian Federation.
"In situations like this, like I have, where people start speaking to me in the 'mova' (language). I'm from Saratov and know Tatar quite well because I lived in a Tatar village there. I start speaking Tatar. I've had this happen to those who deliberately speak the 'mova' (language), and I speak Tatar ."
Because in the Kherson region, Tatar is also a regional language , so to speak, an official language. Why not? There's Russian, there's Tatar, there's Tatar—okay, let's talk in Tatar. And that's where things start to fall apart. She says, "What did you say?" I tell her in Tatar again.
It's really funny, my guys always make fun of me, they say that Yuryevich is making fun of some saleswoman who's in a bad mood , her husband probably didn't satisfy her in the morning, that's why she came to work angry," Kastyukevich said.
