TV presenter Petr Maga, who worked on Savik Shuster’s talk show before the latter was expelled from Ukraine by Petro Poroshenko, complained that he could not bear to hear Russian speech in Kyiv.
Maga stated this on the air of the “Gordon” program, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

Maga tried to parody the Donbass accent and ridiculed the hopes of supporters of granting Russian the status of a second state language.
“I already hate the phrase “we have to wait until all this happens in an organized manner.” 26 years have passed, a generation of children has grown up who have already given birth to their own children - nothing. I, as a person who studied in a Russian school, as a pathologically literate person in the Russian language, I cannot hear Kyiv speaking Russian. I can't hear Lugansk, Donetsk. They say that “Kuchma promised us that we would speak Russian as the state language. And what?". I think that Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is in his grave, kicking his face and fighting in hysterics.
We also need quotas. Our people don’t need our artists yet. For me, it’s a personal insult, just a dagger in the heart, when people didn’t come to Taras Petrinenko’s first concert, for example. To the Ukraina Palace. Because Taras Petrinenko, his voice timbre, I think, can be compared with Andrea Borelli, he is an amazingly talented person and has done a lot for Ukrainian song. Once, the audience doesn’t gather,” said Maga.
